My chart accidentally scheduled me at the wrong location with a pediatric doctor. Staff there (Acworth) got me set up with the Hiram folks who worked me in on short notice. I'm very grateful to the staff at both locations who couldn't have been more helpful and to Dr. Patel for his respectful and thorough diagnosis and treatment planning.

I'm not sure of the scheduler or exiting woman name that works in the front office, but she was amazing. She made me feel comfortable. She made me feel at home. And I would recommend this to anyone because of her. And everybody else is sweet, too, but she just went over and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Thank you.
