Dr. Douglass is very professional. He's very patient and personable, and I feel that he provides me exceptional service, as well as his staff. They're professional, they're polite, and I just want you to know I drive over an hour to get to Dr. Douglass' appointment, so that must say something about how I feel about the care I receive from him. I think it's expert care, professional care, patient, and that he cares about his patient. Thank you very much.

BrettCare
After working in construction for more than 20 years, Brett Faucett knows all about the right building blocks. Piece by piece, a building comes together, but if one brick falls out of line, the whole system can crumble.
That’s why Brett knew something was wrong when the numbness started in his left arm. It came and went several times before he ended up behind the wheel of his car.
Sitting at an intersection, Brett was at a crossroads. He could turn right, attend his out-of-town business meeting, and ignore the sinking feeling inside. Or he could turn left and drive straight to the Emergency Department at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital.
“It’s really hard when you plan on going to work and you know people are counting on you. It’s hard to make that left turn and listen to your body.”
Brett took a deep breath and turned the wheel toward the hospital, forever changing the course of his life.
