Smooth sailings, wonderful just great, My Dr. Decoons & his Nurse Mrs Candi they both were very professional, very caring for his patients which is well appreciated.

For the first question, I accidentally pressed one, which was not at all, but I meant that he was great. He was very sensitive, very informative, and I felt like I was being passed on to an expert and that I might actually have my issue resolved. So, I was very happy with my visit. Thank you very much.

I'm waiting to get a call from nurse practitioner. I've been calling her every Monday and not yet respond. My calls were about MRI. I'm still waiting for phone call.

This is a workman's comp case and I feel like I'm getting the bare minimum care. Especially when the residents come in and don't know anything about me or my case. I thought the residents had to be accompanied by the attending? A resident is not qualified to treat complex issues that come through Orthopedics.

July 24, 2025

Yes. The information was given clearly, clearly enough to explain, and as usual, you know, you guys up there show general concern about our needs, and you haven't failed me yet.

I had what is usually defined as a difficult surgery with a lengthy recovery. Every step of the journey so far Wellstar hospital and Orthopedic Clinic have treated me with kindness and respect. I will highly recommend the hospital and Dr. DeCoons and his staff.

I felt like the doctor listen to me he was not an any rush to leave the room before I ask all my questions.

They were very pleasant. The front desk was awesome. And they were prompt. They got me in the back and did whatever. And I was in and out. And I really enjoyed it. And it's a very clean establishment. And I will continue to come there.
