Dr. Hormes is an exceptional neurologist.He is kind, attentive, and consistently takes the time to explain everything in a clear and detailed way. His patience with my Mom, who has Alzheimers, means more than I can express. He never rushes her, listens carefully, and treats her with genuine respect. His compassion and thoroughness make every visit feel supportive and reassuring. In addition the Nurse who greeted us, Amera ( my apologies if I'm spelling incorrectly), provided excellent care. She was upbeat, patient, and very supportive as she assisted my mom with her walker and guided safely to the scale and exam room. She completed the vitals and medication review and withcare and professionalism, and she made sure to ask about any symptoms or issues. My mom might be experiencing. Her kindness and attentiveness stood out. Upon our arrival a young lady who works at the front desk saw my concern as we came off the elevators as to which office to the right or to the left would be where Dr. Hormes would be seen my mom. She was very kind in asking if she could assist and told us he was at the office on the left. Entering the reception area we were greeted by April with a smile and upbeat personality. She Introduced herself and went through the appointment patient Information professionally. As always a pleasure to be greeted and care for with respect and exceptional service.

Wellstar gets it right every time-from check in at the front desk with April and Madison to the Medical Assistant Victoria and of course the awesome Dr Hormes is the crown jewel! All of the staff are most welcoming caring personable professional and compassionate. Wellstar has found the secret sauce of patient care and they have applied it to the entire practice quite liberally. Dr Hormes is the epitome of excellence in patient care. I can not recommend him highly enough! I am so grateful for his support and manner that I gladly drive over 100 miles round trip to my appointments with him. Keep up the amazing work that characterizes this practice.

I felt genuinely cared for during my visit. Dr. Hormes took the time to listen closely and asked thoughtful follow-up questions that showed he truly wanted to understand what I was experiencing. When I became emotional, he responded with real empathy and kindness, which meant a lot to me. He was honest about not yet knowing the exact cause of my symptoms, but he reassured me that there were several options we could try to help bring relief. At no point did I feel rushed. He gave me his full attention throughout the appointment.

September hasn't always been Ashley Irwin’s favorite month. Years ago, that time of year when the leaves changed into bright, warm colors held some of the darkest moments of her life.
In 2011, a 28-year-old Ashley was battling a particularly bad bout of Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory illness that can cause painful and often debilitating abdominal and bowel issues.
After the intense flare-up, Ashley was settling in at home again with the assistance of her mother. She was determined to regain her independence and get back on track.
But it wasn’t long before the sharp sensation of a migraine hit her full force. Pushing through the pain, she tried to check her email for any new messages, though it was nearly impossible to type in her username and password.
“As I sat in front of the computer, I couldn’t even remember my last name to log in to my email account—no matter how hard I tried,” Ashley recalled the terrifying moment.
Almost immediately, Ashley’s mother noticed her confusion, and stepped in to assess the situation and double-check her daughter’s cognitive abilities.
“My mom asked me, ‘Who am I? What’s my name?’ In my head, I knew she was my mother, but I just couldn’t connect the dots and express it,” Ashley said, describing her confusion and difficulty thinking. “At that moment, I couldn’t tell you her name or her relationship to me.”
Worried, the mother and daughter rushed to the Emergency Department at Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center for immediate medical treatment. After being evaluated, it was clear that Ashley was dealing with much more than just a bad headache—she was having a stroke.
