Dr. J.P. was super knowledgeable and he made me understand every aspect of my surgery. I really enjoyed the bariatric program and everything that I learned in nutrition and dietary classes really helped me to understand the journey that the GSB entails. I just really want to thank the entire office, but especially Dr. J.P. for just answering all my questions and being so knowledgeable in the area to find what's best for me, my health care. Thank you.

From the time with the registrar, to the nurse who took down my history with precision we were taken such good care of. Jean-Pierre has taken care of both my husband and I. Every appointment we have had with him made us feel we were in great hands. He LISTENs and takes time to lay out your plan of care, gives all options that could be possible, and I honestly trust him with my care! The entire team deserves straight 20s

The Matthews Family walking

MatthewsCare

Deidra had just delivered Chase, a beautiful girl. Holding that tiny, fragile baby in their arms, both new parents felt nervous about what to do next. But the nursing staff at Wellstar Cobb Hospital surrounded them with unfailing support and helped the Matthews family gain more confidence in holding, feeding and swaddling their new bundle of joy.
