Everyone is always best as a fellow WellSTAR employee. Everyone made sure everything was confidential. I got checked in, got seen. Dr. Karakattu was great. MA was great. And I love that she's my provider. She's very attentive, very listening. Front staff was awesome as well, very personable, and I appreciate it.

Well she is in hurry not listen or explain anything or check me it's not worth my time, and money. No bedside manner. She didn't not even took two minutes which is annoying
November 7, 2025

She is probably the best doctor I have met in my lifetime and I'm 81 years old. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable. I pray every day that she does not leave WellStar or me.

I waited 4 months to get an appointment for what I thought was nutrition based weight loss guidance to help me with a challenging recent diagnosis requiring weight loss but found this doctor did not want to discuss my current concerns and issues which is why this appointment was made and referred by my neurologist. She made the comment that only 5 % of people have this, which is why I wanted guidance, but she only wanted to focus on diabetes which was a back burner concern as my sugars are low and I'm only prediabetic now. I was very confused as to why I was there at all or what the purpose of this visit was if not to discuss the issues I am currently having with eating with my recent diagnosis and medication side affects. I am hoping the dietician I will be seeing next will give me some guidance.

I felt like it was a very neutral experience, kind of underwhelmed. Being that I was a new patient, I felt like the entire appointment was rushed and I had some concerns I wanted to talk through, but I felt like it was more so just to get me out of there. Felt very transactional and bedside manners matters to me, but I felt like there was no relationship or try to get to know your new patient. So I don't know if I will return.

Access Customized Care Plans Online with Wellstar E-Visits
If you’re a MyChart user, E-visits are a convenient way for you to receive care from a Wellstar clinician without needing to schedule an appointment or come to the clinic.
In addition to virtual visits and our Virtual Urgent Care, Wellstar has expanded access to care with E-visits. These visits are completed using our secure patient portal and offer treatment for non-emergency conditions.
Here’s how it works
Through MyChart, tell us about your health concern by answering a few questions about yourself and your symptoms, then a primary care clinician will respond in MyChart with your care plan.
Conditions that can be treated with an E-visit include:
cough
sinus problems
urinary tract infection
conjunctivitis
back pain
diarrhea
vaginal discharge
heartburn
How to start your E-visit
Log on to MyChart and click Symptom Checker from the menu in the top left of the screen. Select your condition and confirm you are currently located in Georgia. We’ll ask for information about your medications, allergies, health history and preferred pharmacy so that our team can tailor care specifically for you. Next you’ll see the estimated cost for your visit. Finally, click Submit to contact our care team. One of our providers will follow up with your care plan.
“A Wellstar primary care provider will review the information about your symptoms and health history, and we’ll create a customized care plan just for you,” said Wellstar Primary Care Physician Dr. Monika Karakattu. “E-visits offer the same personalized care you’d receive in person at Wellstar, conveniently delivered online and on your schedule.”
If you don’t have MyChart, you can make an account online if you are an established Wellstar patient. With MyChart, you can securely access all your health records with a single username and password. Once you’re connected, you can view your test results, schedule appointments, request prescription refills and pay your bills.
