I was disappointed in hearing that this office didn't have a nurse to draw blood. It is very convenient to have it there and get it done right after seeing Dr Emma. Please bring a nurse back to continue offering that to her patients. It's time to replace the one she had that isn't there.

I love, love, love Dr. Atherton-Staples. I have never had a doctor in my 71 years who actually listened to your issues. She is truly a one of a kind. I will follow her anywhere she goes. I hope she stays with Wellstar because I love the Wellstar, too.

The room was much more bland-looking...I hope WellStar won't become so corporate that a doctor can't even hang a professional degree or a personal calendar...when I had to change doctors after 40 years with the same one, this was an excellent way to connect.

Dr Atherton-Staples is an awesome doctor!!! I've been fortunate to always have good primary care doctors through Wellstar, but had been bounced around with those doctors as changes happened with doctors in those practices. I feel very fortunate to have Dr Atherton-Staples as my primary care doctor now - she is attentive, listens, and provides a great perspective on care options to consider. I feel like a person vs a # during my appointments.
