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.

The doctor was unbelievably nice. It was so crazy how nice he was. And honestly, everything he said was very honest, very direct. He didn't sugarcoat anything. And I feel like I got an abundance of information in such a short amount of time. I would highly, highly, highly recommend this physician for anybody that was looking for any type of neurology concerns. I would rate him a 10 out of 10 out of 10.

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.
