Dr. French was professional, knowledgeable, and listened to all my concerns. He was very friendly and took the time to understand the sleep issues I have been experiencing. He was great in documenting my symptoms and for getting me signed up for a sleep study.

The gentleman at the front desk that greeted us was tremendously professional and kind. I'm so sorry I didn't get his name but he seems to be a great asset to the practice. The nurse, Anna, was also very kind. As for Dr. French, there probably aren't adequate words to describe how much we appreciate his demeanor, level of knowledge and straight to the point information. His schedule is always full but he is certainly worth the wait. We are very thankful for the Pulmonology practice of Dr. French at the Acworth Wellstar Medical Park.
