All of the office staff was incredibly kind, and Dr. Snapper took the time to listen to the problems I was having and put the puzzle pieces together to diagnose MCAS, M-C-A-S, which I had never known that I have. He gave me two new medicines, and I have been doing fantastic. Thank you so much, Dr. Snapper. Thank you.

August 27, 2025

I've been to 2 other specialists with concern for my health, both of which said I was probably just experiencing anxiety. Dr. Snapper is the only one who actually listened to my concerns, with which he was able to correctly diagnose me.

The female staff members should not wear perfume or scents in a medical setting. It truly causes so many issues with patients.

August 13, 2025

I've been feeling sick for going on 1.5 years now. My current cardiologist just doesn't know enough about POTS to even know what to do to help. I'm very thankful that I was finally able to get in with him, that he listened, and hopefully will be able to help me get to feeling like myself again. The staff was all very nice and accommodating as well!

Arrived at 2:00 for 2:15 appointment. Waited 75 minutes in waiting room. Wait was too long, but once in doc was terrific. Improper scheduling.

August 8, 2025

5

Dr. Snapper is an excellent doctor. I would highly recommend him.

August 7, 2025

5

From my first phone call to schedule and the entire appointment process Dr. Snapper was worth the year long wait; and actually, it was really a 15 year wait to finally have a physician diagnosis and explain why my daughter struggled with so many debilitating symptoms. We drove from Augusta and would do it every month for this doctor. Today we had a life changing day, and hours of prayers answered. I cried during the appointment and on the way home. We are so thankful for Dr. Snapper's knowledge, listening skills, ability to explain it all, and all his positivity that things are going to get better. He was kind, funny, professional, and on time. He is an excellent provider, and we feel very fortunate to be under his care and with the entire staff.

After waiting months for an appointment, and over an hour at the office to be seen, I got less than 10 minutes of time with the doctor and was not given the chance to talk about the concerns I had or ask the questions I was prepared to ask. I was then told the earliest follow up I could get was over a year out. Very disappointing and disheartening

August 4, 2025

5

Dr. Snapper was everything I've been looking for in a provider and more! He listened, took his time ,explained everything throughly, and was extremely kind and knowledgeable.

August 7, 2025

5

This was the first time I've been to a doctor who actually looked at the whole picture. Dr. Snapper actually figured out what was wrong with me when no one else could for the last 20 years. It was absolutely incredible. His knowledge and expertise blew me away. And the entire team was so nice and truly seem to care about their patients. This was the best experience I have ever had with a doctor and I look forward to working with them in the future.

August 6, 2025

I appreciate Dr Snappers knowledge and time he took to explain to me my medical situation thank you

July 28, 2025

I was most impressed with Dr. snapper. He took time to listen to me, explained his interpretation of my medical history and symptoms, his thoughts and plans for evaluation and his hopes for outcome. I would highly recommend Dr snapper to anyone with complicated neurological issues.

July 26, 2025

Dr snapper is so caring and compassionate! He explained everything to a t. I'm so grateful for him and the office staff

July 24, 2025

5

The physician and staff were extremely kind and informative. I left the office feeling very much relieved and optimistic about my health problem. I greatly appreciate Nancy's help in getting me scheduled for the appointment, and Dr. Snapper's advice and explanation about my health problem. The entire experience far exceeded my expectation!

July 13, 2025

5

Thankful to be able to be seen. The hardest part is the waiting for months for first available appointments.

I've been seeing Dr. Snapper for a few years, and this appointment, I just felt really rushed. I felt like he didn't really spend very much time to discuss things with me, just kind of in and out. I usually see one of the NPs, so I hadn't seen Dr. Snapper himself in a while, but I was a little disappointed. I just felt like I was brushed aside a little.

July 11, 2025

5

The entire staff was fantastic! I feel grateful and reassured that Dr. Snapper is so eager and optimistic about helping me improve and manage my symptoms. It was both unfamiliar and refreshing to speak with a doctor who is knowledgeable and understanding of these complex conditions. You can really tell Dr. Snapper and the staff are passionate about their work and truly want to help their patients by treating the underlying issue(s).

Arrived at 2:00 for 2:15 appointment. Waited 75 minutes in waiting room. Wait was too long, but once in doc was terrific. Improper scheduling.

This was the first time I've been to a doctor who actually looked at the whole picture. Dr. Snapper actually figured out what was wrong with me when no one else could for the last 20 years. It was absolutely incredible. His knowledge and expertise blew me away. And the entire team was so nice and truly seem to care about their patients. This was the best experience I have ever had with a doctor and I look forward to working with them in the future.

From my first phone call to schedule and the entire appointment process Dr. Snapper was worth the year long wait; and actually, it was really a 15 year wait to finally have a physician diagnosis and explain why my daughter struggled with so many debilitating symptoms. We drove from Augusta and would do it every month for this doctor. Today we had a life changing day, and hours of prayers answered. I cried during the appointment and on the way home. We are so thankful for Dr. Snapper's knowledge, listening skills, ability to explain it all, and all his positivity that things are going to get better. He was kind, funny, professional, and on time. He is an excellent provider, and we feel very fortunate to be under his care and with the entire staff.

After waiting months for an appointment, and over an hour at the office to be seen, I got less than 10 minutes of time with the doctor and was not given the chance to talk about the concerns I had or ask the questions I was prepared to ask. I was then told the earliest follow up I could get was over a year out. Very disappointing and disheartening

I was most impressed with Dr. snapper. He took time to listen to me, explained his interpretation of my medical history and symptoms, his thoughts and plans for evaluation and his hopes for outcome. I would highly recommend Dr snapper to anyone with complicated neurological issues.

The physician and staff were extremely kind and informative. I left the office feeling very much relieved and optimistic about my health problem. I greatly appreciate Nancy's help in getting me scheduled for the appointment, and Dr. Snapper's advice and explanation about my health problem. The entire experience far exceeded my expectation!

I've been seeing Dr. Snapper for a few years, and this appointment, I just felt really rushed. I felt like he didn't really spend very much time to discuss things with me, just kind of in and out. I usually see one of the NPs, so I hadn't seen Dr. Snapper himself in a while, but I was a little disappointed. I just felt like I was brushed aside a little.

July 11, 2025

The entire staff was fantastic! I feel grateful and reassured that Dr. Snapper is so eager and optimistic about helping me improve and manage my symptoms. It was both unfamiliar and refreshing to speak with a doctor who is knowledgeable and understanding of these complex conditions. You can really tell Dr. Snapper and the staff are passionate about their work and truly want to help their patients by treating the underlying issue(s).

I've been feeling sick for going on 1.5 years now. My current cardiologist just doesn't know enough about POTS to even know what to do to help. I'm very thankful that I was finally able to get in with him, that he listened, and hopefully will be able to help me get to feeling like myself again. The staff was all very nice and accommodating as well!

The female staff members should not wear perfume or scents in a medical setting. It truly causes so many issues with patients.

I've been to 2 other specialists with concern for my health, both of which said I was probably just experiencing anxiety. Dr. Snapper is the only one who actually listened to my concerns, with which he was able to correctly diagnose me.

All of the office staff was incredibly kind, and Dr. Snapper took the time to listen to the problems I was having and put the puzzle pieces together to diagnose MCAS, M-C-A-S, which I had never known that I have. He gave me two new medicines, and I have been doing fantastic. Thank you so much, Dr. Snapper. Thank you.

Wellstar Autonomic Center Expands Care for Autonomic Disorders

For people with autonomic disorders, finding treatment can be difficult. With only a few specialized programs in the country, getting care can require traveling a long distance. 

However, patients in Georgia can access this crucial care close to home. Wellstar Cardiovascular Disease Specialist Dr. Howard Snapper, who sees patients in Woodstock, is one of fewer than 50 physicians in North America certified to diagnose and treat autonomic disorders.

Autonomic disorders, including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), involve the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary body functions like heart rate, temperature, sweating and digestion. 

When people with POTS move from sitting down to standing up, their heart rate increases by about 30 beats per minute, but their blood pressure doesn’t change. This sudden increase can lead to dizziness or fainting. Most patients with POTS are younger women about 13 to 50 years old.

“Autonomic disorders are not that rare—about 2 to 3 million people in the country are affected—but they are often underdiagnosed because the symptoms can indicate other conditions,” Dr. Snapper said. “It can also be difficult to get the proper diagnosis and treatment to start improving these conditions.”

Dr. Snapper sees patients from as far as California, and Wellstar has one of only two autonomic disorder programs in the Southeast. With the addition of two new advanced practice providers, the program at Wellstar now has increased capacity and can help more patients live healthier and more comfortably.

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Snapper, call (678) 324-4400.
