From the start to the end, I had such a good experience with Dr. Snapper & his staff. Dr. Snapper was so personable, knowledgeable, and really took the time to listen to all of my symptoms and figure out what was going on with my whole body, versus every other doctor that just treats the hand or only one body part, but no one else has ever put together all of the pieces of the puzzle. He was so empathetic and gave me so much hope for the future, which I haven't had in a long time. For someone as renowned as him, he was very down to earth and put things in simple terms that were easy to understand. He thoroughly explained my treatment plan. He was definitely worth waiting over a year to see. I am so glad that my old PCP referred me to him. Dr. Snapper's bedside manner was so incredible in comparison to many of the doctors that I have seen over the years. He treated me with the utmost respect and dignity and not like a burden to his day. Dr. Snapper was so refreshing to me in the medical world. I did not feel like I was a number to him. I can't thank him and his staff enough.

My experience with Dr Snapper is always bad. I get better result with my care from his Practitioner Ms Keisha. He listen somewhat, while entering information and not looking at you. The last two times that I have seen him they put me in a room but I had to wait a little over an hour and when he did come in he didn't even apologize for keeping me waiting. He read this on my discharge form that he never discussed with me. I'm not please with this provider at all. I will be changing providers unless I could see Ms Keisha or another doctor in this group. Also he said that he was changing my meds and he called in the proscription that I was already taking even the same dosage.

I had a great experience at Dr. Snapper's office. I was welcomed kindly and warmly to the office and then treated with respect and listened to about my concerns. It was refreshing to have medical personnel who listened thoroughly and addressed all of my questions and concerns with care.

Dr. Snapper listened, understood, and cared about what I was experiencing, and immediately began planning treatment so I can start to feel better. Very few doctors have the patience AND curiosity to really help those of us that aren't dying but are not functioning well at all. I am very grateful to Dr. Snapper and his team.

Dr Snapper is an expert in POTS and EDS. I drive 7 hours each way to see him twice a year because he understands and helps me like other physicians can't. He also listens and is kind. I give him a 10+++ out of 10 as a physician! I hope to be under his care for the rest of my life! He helps me be able to work full time and to have an 'almost' normal life. I feel incredibly blessed to have him as my cardiologist. Kudos to Dr. Snapper! May God bless him!

Everyone in the office was so friendly and helpful. The front office staff were so polite and welcoming and made the check in/out process a breeze. The nurse who took my vitals and medical history really made me feel at ease by having a friendly conversation. And the physician really took his time and listened to what I had to say. He truly listened to my symptoms and made me feel like I was being taken seriously. After dealing with different symptoms for years, I felt like I was just being dismissed by other providers and not truly being heard. I'm so thankful to have finally found a provider who has put all the pieces together!

Experiences overall really great. Just kind of hard to get in touch with you guys afterwards because it's an automated system. So yeah, it would be nice to like talk to someone and not have to wait the 32 hours. But other than that, very great.

Great experience. The audio didn't work on the video chat so we easily continued the visit via phone call. I always feel better after following up with the providers.

Asked a question didn't get a straight answer then had to MyChart the nurse after the appointment for clarification. I know he is a busy man but after waiting for over a year I was let down by how rushed the appointment was.

Everyone in the office was so friendly and helpful. The front office staff were so polite and welcoming and made the check in/out process a breeze. The nurse who took my vitals and medical history really made me feel at ease by having a friendly conversation. And the physician really took his time and listened to what I had to say. He truly listened to my symptoms and made me feel like I was being taken seriously. After dealing with different symptoms for years, I felt like I was just being dismissed by other providers and not truly being heard. I'm so thankful to have finally found a provider who has put all the pieces together!

Experiences overall really great. Just kind of hard to get in touch with you guys afterwards because it's an automated system. So yeah, it would be nice to like talk to someone and not have to wait the 32 hours. But other than that, very great.

Dr Snapper is an expert in POTS and EDS. I drive 7 hours each way to see him twice a year because he understands and helps me like other physicians can't. He also listens and is kind. I give him a 10+++ out of 10 as a physician! I hope to be under his care for the rest of my life! He helps me be able to work full time and to have an 'almost' normal life. I feel incredibly blessed to have him as my cardiologist. Kudos to Dr. Snapper! May God bless him!

Dr. Snapper listened, understood, and cared about what I was experiencing, and immediately began planning treatment so I can start to feel better. Very few doctors have the patience AND curiosity to really help those of us that aren't dying but are not functioning well at all. I am very grateful to Dr. Snapper and his team.

My experience with Dr Snapper is always bad. I get better result with my care from his Practitioner Ms Keisha. He listen somewhat, while entering information and not looking at you. The last two times that I have seen him they put me in a room but I had to wait a little over an hour and when he did come in he didn't even apologize for keeping me waiting. He read this on my discharge form that he never discussed with me. I'm not please with this provider at all. I will be changing providers unless I could see Ms Keisha or another doctor in this group. Also he said that he was changing my meds and he called in the proscription that I was already taking even the same dosage.

From the start to the end, I had such a good experience with Dr. Snapper & his staff. Dr. Snapper was so personable, knowledgeable, and really took the time to listen to all of my symptoms and figure out what was going on with my whole body, versus every other doctor that just treats the hand or only one body part, but no one else has ever put together all of the pieces of the puzzle. He was so empathetic and gave me so much hope for the future, which I haven't had in a long time. For someone as renowned as him, he was very down to earth and put things in simple terms that were easy to understand. He thoroughly explained my treatment plan. He was definitely worth waiting over a year to see. I am so glad that my old PCP referred me to him. Dr. Snapper's bedside manner was so incredible in comparison to many of the doctors that I have seen over the years. He treated me with the utmost respect and dignity and not like a burden to his day. Dr. Snapper was so refreshing to me in the medical world. I did not feel like I was a number to him. I can't thank him and his staff enough.

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.
