I trust very, very few doctors because it seems like most of them up there at Kennestone wing it, they just wing it. Dr. Holcomb knows what he's talking about. I trust him wholeheartedly with whatever decision he decides to make for me. That is somebody I truly believe in. The nursing staff, the assistants, everybody, every single person up there is top notch. This is my favorite office I've ever been to.

Seeing a surgeon is an anxiety provoking experience, but Dr. Holcomb put me at ease. He wanted to know about me rather than just looking at test results. I think he is a remarkable doctor and I can't say enough good things about him. I would have total confidence if I were to require surgery. So grateful to him.

Hi, I was really pleased with the staff. They were very friendly and kind on the phone and in person. And Dr. Holcomb was very comfortable to be with down to earth. And he gave me his opinion and I was there for a third opinion. So I respected him and appreciated him and he made things happen for me very quickly right during that appointment. So he definitely cared for me. Everybody that I've asked in my family if I should have them do my surgery, they said out of all the three doctors, they said him. So that's it.

It was a very swift consultation I had with the doctor, he made it very very quick and very thorough and it was a check to make sure that I wasn't suffering from a hernia, and they referred to his own actual problem with hernia's to describe how the future will be for me. So it was very enlightening and I have no hesitations recommending him to anyone else. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
