Dr. Witte and staff are excellent. They listen, they're nice, they remember you. They speak with you with respect and kindness. They are extra helpful in explaining the situation that your child is in. They move quickly. They get you in and out as fast as they can. And they are just a joy to visit and to be around.

My experience is always great from start to finish. The entire team is great and I never feel like a stranger. Everyone is very personable and I feel like I'm amongst family and not at a Dr's office. My concerns are always heard and a resolve is always given

From the beginning of the appointment, from the receptionist at the desk to going into being led into the room and as well as the doctor, everyone was pleasant, smiling, laughing, joyous. The doctor was excellent. She has a great sense of humor and very personable, which is something that is definitely cherished in this situation.

When I walked into the office, my blood sugar was low. The front desk staff were very, very helpful in getting me something to drink and something to eat to help my blood sugar level come back up. I am so thankful for all the caring that I witnessed. Thank you. And, Dr. Witte, was so kind and so sweet and so gentle. I appreciated her. And the way in which she expedited a visit for me because of the pain I was having in my arm was phenomenal.

All the office staff were very helpful and attentive. The office itself is very run down. There's painting, walls are keeling paint or chipped paint. The whole floor and building vibrates when people walk. So it doesn't give you like the confidence that you're getting like high quality care, even though I think we did. Also, we didn't leave with any written instructions or a printout with exercises. And we were there a little bit longer than I would have expected or liked. But otherwise, it was a good experience. Thanks.

My experience is always great from start to finish. The entire team is great and I never feel like a stranger. Everyone is very personable and I feel like I'm amongst family and not at a Dr's office. My concerns are always heard and a resolve is always given

Dr. Witte and staff are excellent. They listen, they're nice, they remember you. They speak with you with respect and kindness. They are extra helpful in explaining the situation that your child is in. They move quickly. They get you in and out as fast as they can. And they are just a joy to visit and to be around.

Help Your Student Athlete Kick Off the Season Strong
Wellstar is here to help young athletes feel and perform their best. From sports physicals to start the season strong to treating injuries, our care teams specialize in providing expert, kid-centered care for your child.
Kick off the season with a sports physical
Schedule your child’s sports physical before game day arrives. Their care team will check their heart, lungs and overall health so they can feel their best on and off the field.
“Sports physicals are important to screen for any underlying conditions that might put your child at increased risk versus some of their peers,” said Dr. Eric Berg, Wellstar Children’s of Georgia medical director of pediatric surgical services. “It's one of the easiest ways to catch potential issues before kids hit the field. A little preparation now can help prevent injuries later.”
Schedule a sports physical with your child’s pediatrician. You can also visit Wellstar Urgent Care, which takes walk-ins and offers online scheduling.
Take time for rest and hydration
For optimal performance in sports, young athletes need to fuel their bodies—and take breaks when needed.It’s recommended that student athletes consume up to 20 ounces of fluid one hour before an activity and 5 ounces every 15 minutes during the activity.
“Proper nutrition and hydration are critical for all students, but particularly for athletes who are more active and burning more calories,” said Dr. Lindsay Stephenson, Wellstar Children’s of Georgia pediatric orthopedic surgeon. “I recommend using the nutritional guide released by the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America. This information makes it easier for students and their parents to understand the nutritional needs of the body to perform in the classroom and during competition.”
Children also need to incorporate rest into their routine so they don’t overtrain. Kids often enjoy playing with family and friends, and they may not realize they need to take a break, according to Dr. Natalie Witte, Wellstar Children’s of Georgia sports medicine physician.
“They may be more sore than they are normally and not recovering,” Dr. Witte said. “If they’re not hungry after training, they might be so depleted that they’re nauseous or dizzy.”
If your child isn’t feeling well, your family’s pediatrician or sports medicine specialist can evaluate them for injury or illness so they can get back to their favorite activities sooner.
