This experience with Dr. Del Fabbro was good, but I am becoming very frustrated with Wellstar Health System.

My Doctor had a plan all figured out, one that with as a byproduct, would help decrease the pain I have been having with another issue. He made me feel comfortable with being able to reach out for any help or questions as I go down this new road. He has taken into account all of my issues. I am very appreciative of his plan and how many issues it will make better. He is very easy to talk to, and is very knowledgeable in handling my case. I trust his plan and will not be shy when I need answers or advice. Thank you, Dr!

I was VERY DISCOURAGED with this appointment. I was CRITICIZED about EVERY medication I am on. I am dying, I was told by hospice that I needed Palliative care, but this Doctor didn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation. He wanted me to see a Cardiologist, I have seen the top three Cardiologists within three hundred fifty miles radius. I have been told there is nothing they can do for me. I tried to relay this to him, however, all he wanted to do was to tell me that ALL of my meds are bad. No help, no pain meds, nothing, only criticized my medications the other Doctors prescribed to me. My experience was full of discouragement.

Finding the actual office was very difficult. But all the offices we went in by mistake, had personnel that were kind and helpful. It took us 3 tries before my driver could find it. Once we arrived, the staff confirmed that we were in the correct building and kindly checked me in. Your employees in the buildings we mistakenly went to we very kind and did their best to help us.

The whole team right from me coming in the door, the staff was extremely helpful and kind despite my late arrival due to heavy construction. The Doctor came right in and listened to all my thoughts, then he asked me very pertinent queries about my prescription, how it was working, and kindly made suggestions to update my Rx. He also said that I could reach out to him as I needed to. Every person I came in contact helped lower my BP and put me at ease. 10 out of 10 stars!!!

Love Dr. Nayak! She is consistently behind schedule, but that because she takes the time to ensure patients understand what is going on, and to discuss any concerns the patients have. I kept my appointment fairly short (since I've been working with her since January) to help her get back on schedule.
