Justin Kunes, MD is board certified in pediatric orthopedic surgery and hand surgery. He joined Wellstar in October 2019 after being in private practice in Metro Atlanta for five years and serving for three years at Piedmont in Covington. He is highly committed to the Wellstar mission and has dual fellowship training in both pediatric orthopedics and adult and pediatric hand surgery. He has cared for pediatric trauma patients through Egleston Children's Hospital and continues to maintain a collegial relationship with his fellow surgeons as an affiliate staff member at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Many children can be treated in their own communities without travelling downtown and Dr. Kunes provides that by conducting surgeries at Wellstar North Fulton and Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center. Hand injuries happen, and when they do, patients need guidance on how to care for them promptly. Treatment ranges from emergent stabilization at our acute care hospitals to outpatient management. Dr. Kunes and his staff treat every patient as an individual in the context of their life with specialized treatment plans.

Appreciate how detailed he was about what type of care my son would need.

Doctor was fantastic, front office staff was distracted and seemed "interrupted" by our coming to the desk. They were in a deep conversation when we walked in. I was one of 2 patients but they seemed distracted by their own conversation.

Arrived 15 minutes before scheduled appointment time as requested. 45 minutes later taken to exam room, spent 5 minutes with nurse going over basic info and told I would need X-rays. Another 45 minutes later taken back to X-rays, then doctor came 10 minutes later, apoligetic but sounded like he has to say that to everyone.

My only dissatisfaction was arriving 15 minutes prior to my appointment and sitting for an hour and fifteen minutes beyond scheduled time for a total of an hour and forty five minutes before being taken back to exam room where I waited another 20 minutes . I realize that some waiting is to be expected, but this seems to be a bit long . Everything else was top notch, Doc was great , attentive , thorough.
