It would be nice if I was not used to train people to draw blood. On the other hand everbody needs to start some where and at that level she was very good and will get better. I'm glad I could help.

Dr. Mankan saved my life in 2021 when I had a blood clot from COVID. I have been a patient on a few occasions because I was having surgery and concern for my health e.g. blood clots. His entire staff is warm and knowledgeable about my concerns. Dr Mankan takes his time to explain my test results, what the implications are and how I can enrich my life. He takes his time and makes me feel comfortable and sees me as a person, not just a patient. I trust him with my care.

Waited too long...2-1/2 hours. Dr.Mankan apologized for that... One hour acceptable....not 2-1/2 hrs. All previous visits were ok.... So, maybe this was the exception.

Dr. Mankan is one of the most thorough and caring physicians I've ever encountered. He literally goes through every plan and process with you step by step sitting right next to you and will repeat the steps again so there's no confusion. He always asks if I have any questions and concerns and when I do he never rushes or seems annoyed. He greets me with a warm smile and handshake every time I see him. Just a breath of fresh air to have such a compassionate physician especially when you feel like your world is spinning out of control. So thankful for Dr. Mankan and his staff. My colleagues recommended him and I would without hesitation recommend him to everyone!

Dr Mankan is extremely thorough. He is truly one of the kindest most compassionate doctors that I know( and I'm a nurse of 36 years!) He genuinely cares about his patients and their overall health and wellbeing and spends quality time at each visit where he answers all yours questions and most of all he is totally present and focused on you( the patient) not what's next. His office got a little backed up?? He actually came out to the waiting room to check on people there to make certain everyone was okay. There was an older couple there( I believe she was one of his oncology patients and somehow she had mixed up her appointment dates... as busy as the office was that day, he still made time for her and didn't make her come back on another day. He saw her, drew her labs, and made certain she got the care she needed! None of us were upset in the least bc we all knew if that had been our oops! Dr Mankan would have done exactly the same for us!! He genuinely cares about people and gets that their time is just as valuable as his time( as least to them it is) Many of his patients are terminally ill... he treats each and everyone of us with the same compassion and respect that he'd expect for his own family bc that's just the kind of man he is! He even gave me at first a handshake at the end of our appointment and then he must have sensed that I was a hugger and gave me a Great Big Hug after my appt!! Thanks Dr Mankan I so appreciate you and the compassionate, empathetic care that you Always show your patients! You are nothing short of Amazing and I wish every doctor I worked with and saw had his very same bedside manner and knowledge base!!

I had a problem trying to get the appointment with my doctor. They always told me I had to see a nurse, so I had to cancel twice, and then I got to see the doctor. I really like the doctor, but when I go as far as I do, I like to see the doctor and not a nurse. I wish you had an office closer to me, but you know, I guess you don't. So I like to see the doctor when I come all the time. Thank you.

Dr. Mankan is one of the most thorough and caring physicians I've ever encountered. He literally goes through every plan and process with you step by step sitting right next to you and will repeat the steps again so there's no confusion. He always asks if I have any questions and concerns and when I do he never rushes or seems annoyed. He greets me with a warm smile and handshake every time I see him. Just a breath of fresh air to have such a compassionate physician especially when you feel like your world is spinning out of control. So thankful for Dr. Mankan and his staff. My colleagues recommended him and I would without hesitation recommend him to everyone!

Waited too long...2-1/2 hours. Dr.Mankan apologized for that... One hour acceptable....not 2-1/2 hrs. All previous visits were ok.... So, maybe this was the exception.

Dr. Mankan saved my life in 2021 when I had a blood clot from COVID. I have been a patient on a few occasions because I was having surgery and concern for my health e.g. blood clots. His entire staff is warm and knowledgeable about my concerns. Dr Mankan takes his time to explain my test results, what the implications are and how I can enrich my life. He takes his time and makes me feel comfortable and sees me as a person, not just a patient. I trust him with my care.

Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center Opens New Comprehensive Cancer Center
Wellstar Health System, one of Georgia’s largest and most integrated healthcare systems, announced the grand opening of the Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center on the Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center campus in Roswell, Georgia on March 27. The Center will serve as one of only two locations in metro Atlanta featuring state-of-the-art CyberKnife® technology for radiation therapy, a noninvasive treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors and other conditions where radiation therapy is needed.
The Cancer Center will now offer comprehensive cancer services, including medical oncology; radiation oncology; imaging and many medical specialties from nationally recognized, expert and experienced physicians all in one convenient location.
“With this beautiful new $12 million state-of-the-art Comprehensive Cancer Center, we can offer people in our community some of the most advanced cancer treatments close to home,” said Jon-Paul Croom, president of Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center. “People will be able to come to the 12,000-square-foot Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center for almost all aspects of diagnosis, staging and treatment, with surgery across the way at the hospital.”
Wellstar team members and the Roswell community celebrated the official opening of the Cancer Center last week with a ribbon cutting ceremony following ten months of construction. Attendees had the opportunity to tour the facility and Wellstar’s second CyberKnife system, newly housed at the Cancer Center.
Wellstar first began using the CyberKnife System at Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center in 2006 to treat conditions throughout the body and can be an alternative to surgery or for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors. CyberKnife can reduce radiotherapy timelines from the traditional eight weeks to as little as one to five days.
“We are committed to providing the best treatment options for our patients and are proud to bring the CyberKnife system to this community,” said Dr. Mark McLaughlin, radiation oncology medical director for Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center. “With the state-of-the-art CyberKnife technology, we can deliver high precision radiation in fewer radiotherapy sessions with the goal of making treatment easier and improving outcomes for patients. We look forward to continuing to help patients beat cancer and celebrate their futures.”
The multidisciplinary team of cancer experts onsite will offer patients a high level of knowledge and expertise, along with compassion and hope. The multi-disciplinary physician experts at Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center include:
STAT Clinic for Head & Neck Cancer Care Comes to North Fulton
Wellstar now offers advanced care for people with head and neck cancer—a complex disease that is often aggressive and requires coordination amongst multiple cancer experts. The new STAT Clinic for Head & Neck Cancer opened on the campus of Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center on August 11, 2022.
People with all types and stages of head and neck cancer have access to expert care and advanced treatments that are typically only available at academic centers. Treatments available in North Fulton include complex excision and reconstruction with microvascular free tissue transfers as well as CyberKnife radiation treatments.
Technologically advanced CyberKnife care close to home
In Wellstar’s STAT Clinics—short for Specialty Teams and Treatments—patients can see multiple cancer subspecialists to be diagnosed, have questions answered and finalize a treatment plan in a single day. This reduces the need to drive to different locations and helps the patient start treatment faster.
“The concept of multidisciplinary care is tried and true and shown to be effective for cancer patients,” said Dr. Fiyin Sokoya, the head and neck cancer surgeon who co-founded the North Fulton STAT Clinic for Head & Neck Cancer. “This model decreases the time to proceed and receive care.”
First, a group of medical specialists including a head and neck cancer surgeon and facial plastic surgeon, a radiation oncologist, a medical oncologist, a pathologist and a neuroradiologist review the patient’s pathology and imaging as a group to diagnose, stage and create a personalized treatment plan.
Next, the patient and their family meet one-on-one with the head and neck cancer surgeon, radiation oncologist and medical oncologist. This is an opportunity for the patient to learn about the recommended treatments and ask questions.
“Traditionally, patients must drive to several different appointments to learn the stage of their cancer, meet with different specialists and make decisions,” said Dr. Nagender Mankan, the dedicated medical oncologist in the new STAT Clinic. “At that point, four to five weeks have gone by. In STAT Clinic, we are expediting the complicated decision-making process.”
The patient also meets with a nurse navigator. This specialized nurse helps coordinate many aspects of care for the patient including scheduling appointments and connecting patients with support team members, such as a registered dietitian, a speech therapist or a dentist who may help relieve irritation in the mouth and throat.
Why STAT Clinic is good for patients, and what to expect
When a STAT Clinic patient needs surgery, Dr. Sokoya is one of only a few surgeons in the region to perform complex excision and reconstruction with microvascular free tissue transfers.
“North Fulton has now become a destination center for head and neck cancer treatment because of our ability to offer advanced surgical care,” he explained. “The launch of this STAT Clinic is exciting, and it’s going to bring very advanced, high-level care to this area.”
Hundreds of patients travel to Roswell each year to seek Dr. Sokoya’s expertise from Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
Patients from all over the Wellstar system are seeing Dr. Sokoya for complex head and neck cancer management,” said Dr. Mark McLaughlin, a Wellstar radiation oncologist who co-founded the STAT Clinic.
Adding the new clinic allows us to invite those patients to come to North Fulton for evaluation and discussion of treatment options. Then we can work with their hometown doctors.”
Technologically advanced CyberKnife care close to home
Patients of the STAT Clinic who are candidates for radiation therapy have access to the latest CyberKnife technology at Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center. The CyberKnife radiation suite is one of just two in the entire metro Atlanta area.
People with complex head and neck cancer such as large or recurrent tumors often benefit from CyberKnife radiation therapy. The technology minimizes radiation exposure to healthy tissue and limits side effects while shortening treatment courses. Normally patients receive five to eight weeks of radiation therapy. In many situations, they can complete their radiation course in as few as one to five treatments with CyberKnife.
“This highly advanced technology treats advanced head and neck cancers,” Dr. McLaughlin said. “You don’t have to go all the way into Atlanta.”
STAT Clinic for Head & Neck Cancer at Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center is located at 4500 Hospital Blvd, Suite 120 in Roswell, Georgia. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call the nurse navigator at (770) 751-2556.

The Center will also serve as one of only two locations in metro Atlanta featuring state-of-the-art CyberKnife® technology for radiation therapy.
