Dr. Jean Pierre is excellent! I would refer him to anyone wanting surgical options for weight loss. His practice is excellent, non-judgmental and very supportive. I have lost 70 lb in my 6 months since surgery and I am more energetic, feel better, and my labs are better than when I was 19 yrs old. I can't say enough about how great his practice is and how happy I am with my results. Thank you all!

MatthewsCare
Most people can’t wait to leave the hospital. Deidra and Bow Matthews, however, weren’t quite ready on their discharge day.
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.
