Dr. Snapper is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, kind and professional. I always leave my appointment feeling like I was heard, and all my issues were addressed. I wish the wait for appointments wasn't so long, but that happens when you're the leading expert in POTS!

Love Dr Snapper and everyone at this office. I do not, however, like the AI transcription and think it inappropriately and inaccurately captures conversation that turn into chart notes. It also makes me, and I assume others, feel like the conversation is not totally private and makes me think differently about how to answer questions. Please take this into consideration about how this will impact quality and experience of patients.

Dr. Snapper has been my doctor for a long time and has been wonderful and kept my cardiac issues healthy but I feel he is now rushed and cannot spend the amount of time he would like to spend with his patients and they would like to spend with him I find this with my other Wellstar doctors also I don't think this is his fault

Dr. Snapper and his staff are amazing. His MA, Michael, was wonderful. She is professional, knowledgeable and caring. I cannot find words to express how great Dr. Snapper is. He takes the time to educate the patient and also to ensure that the patient understands what is happening in their body. It was a struggle to wait 11 months for an appointment but it was well worth the wait. It was a relief to finally have a doctor and staff that completely understood what I was experiencing and knew the exactly what to do to put me on a better path.

It felt like DR. Snapper rushed through my appointment. I understand that he can only spend a specific amount of time per patient, but it was about 5- 7 minutes. I had more things that I wanted to address but was not able to.

While the provider is great, the practice has issues with scheduling patients. The wait time was extremely long.

Love Dr Snapper and everyone at this office. I do not, however, like the AI transcription and think it inappropriately and inaccurately captures conversation that turn into chart notes. It also makes me, and I assume others, feel like the conversation is not totally private and makes me think differently about how to answer questions. Please take this into consideration about how this will impact quality and experience of patients.

Love the physician and the office, especially the PA, but with the doctor, I love him also, but he continued to smack on gum. So thank you.

Dr. Snapper is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, kind and professional. I always leave my appointment feeling like I was heard, and all my issues were addressed. I wish the wait for appointments wasn't so long, but that happens when you're the leading expert in POTS!

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.
