Great place, best Doctors... best service.

August 13, 2026

The CMA told me how many people were in front of me while I waited for Dr. Black. She was also very thorough in explaining what to expect during my appointment as a new patient and I appreciate that. When Dr. Black arrived she apologized for running behind and spent time getting to know me and was also thorough in her exam. I didn't feel rushed. As soon as I left the appointment I recommended her to a family member. She is awesome.

August 13, 2026

5

I never had a bad experience when I go to the doctor see. Doctor black, she's always pleasant. she listened to me. I she really care about my well-being. She's suggestings. I can't say anything bad Dr. Black, she is the best.

Family friendly place to go i recommend it for young to old

August 8, 2026

5

The staff is very matter of fact, very uninterested, seemingly not concerned with engaging in conversation or explaining perhaps why, when I had the first appointment of the day and arrived at the requested 15 minutes before the appointment time I was waiting for 35 minutes to be called back. The medical assistant had no bedside manner.

August 8, 2026

I have a real nice had no problem with nobody

August 7, 2026

Dr. Black is an excellent provider. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for caring caregiver who doesn't treat you like a number.

August 10, 2026

5

I love coming to my appointments

August 7, 2026

5

On the last 2 visits I had to wait over an hour to see the doctor.

August 7, 2026

Best in the state of Georgia

August 5, 2026

5

I am very pleased to partner with Dr. Black to join me in my journey to maintain and improve my health. Dr. Black is very easy to talk to and gives good explanations on why a test or treatment plan is recommended. She is personable and shows genuine interest in me as a patient. Also, the office staff are welcoming and attentive.

July 31, 2026

Was very attenuation in listening to what I had to say, both Nurse and Doctor, I was very impressed. Thanks to them both

July 31, 2026

Dr. Black provided invaluable care through her calm demeanor, active listening, and collaborative approach.

July 30, 2026

5

I'm always treating very well beginning with the front desk representatives to the back office and then my doctor. She is excellent in her care and has exceptional bedside manner. She is very caring, compassionate and a great listener. Everything she tells me to do is very beneficial to me. She's the best and I have recommended her to my sister.

July 25, 2026

5

I don't enjoy waiting, almost an hour in the examining room

July 25, 2026

5

I appreciate Dr. Black and her MA.

July 16, 2026

5

Definitely, the wait time was a long time. I got there at 8:15, 8:30. I didn't leave until 10, 10:30. So that's an extremely long time for a physical and make sure that the front office follows back up with information and text messages or emails. That's it. Other than that, Ms. Black is very professional, very knowledgeable. I feel like a family member when I'm talking to her. So that's it.

July 17, 2026

Didn't like that I was put in the room and had to wait over thirty minutes before the doctor came in

July 15, 2026

5

Enjoyed my visit with Dr. Black. She is a peach

July 15, 2026

5

We love Dr. Black. Her bedside manner and knowledge are steller. Thank you for everything you do ??

July 15, 2026

Dr. Black is wonderful. She takes her time to get to know you and is a wealth of information. I've recommended her to many of my friends.

Great appointment! Dr. Black and her staff always give me time to talk about the appointment or any concerns. Would recommend this office to anyone looking for a doctor.

July 9, 2026

5

Today was very upsetting. The office staff were rude and unresponsive. I had to call three times to get an appointment changed with no answer. I finally called the nurses station. A triage nurse helped me and followed up with me. He helped get my appointment changed but the front office staff did not complete in the system. My appointment was given away and when I called to confirm they tried to act like they had never spoke to me or the nurse and somehow it was my fault my appointment was canceled and not rescheduled. When I came in I felt dismissed by the lady in the front and ignored. No apology no nothing. Dr. Black was awesome and kind and asked lots of questions and gave me lots of great info. I felt well cared for by her and is the ONLY reason why I will return. Other than that it wasn't the best experience.

June 27, 2026

5

The visit with Dr. Black was my first visit. I actually found her on Google by looking up physicians. I was greeted by a warm smile. She was very nice, very professional, but she also made the visit feel more personal and not just like a doctor's visit from the casual conversation and just the method of treatments that she wanted to get me started on. It felt really, really just like she really cared and I wasn't just a patient, random patient showing up to a doctor's office. So I really appreciated that after having some not so good experiences with my previous provider. So definitely appreciate her professionalism and her sense of care and making the visit feel personal.

Great appointment! Dr. Black and her staff always give me time to talk about the appointment or any concerns. Would recommend this office to anyone looking for a doctor.

The visit with Dr. Black was my first visit. I actually found her on Google by looking up physicians. I was greeted by a warm smile. She was very nice, very professional, but she also made the visit feel more personal and not just like a doctor's visit from the casual conversation and just the method of treatments that she wanted to get me started on. It felt really, really just like she really cared and I wasn't just a patient, random patient showing up to a doctor's office. So I really appreciated that after having some not so good experiences with my previous provider. So definitely appreciate her professionalism and her sense of care and making the visit feel personal.

Today was very upsetting. The office staff were rude and unresponsive. I had to call three times to get an appointment changed with no answer. I finally called the nurses station. A triage nurse helped me and followed up with me. He helped get my appointment changed but the front office staff did not complete in the system. My appointment was given away and when I called to confirm they tried to act like they had never spoke to me or the nurse and somehow it was my fault my appointment was canceled and not rescheduled. When I came in I felt dismissed by the lady in the front and ignored. No apology no nothing. Dr. Black was awesome and kind and asked lots of questions and gave me lots of great info. I felt well cared for by her and is the ONLY reason why I will return. Other than that it wasn't the best experience.

Definitely, the wait time was a long time. I got there at 8:15, 8:30. I didn't leave until 10, 10:30. So that's an extremely long time for a physical and make sure that the front office follows back up with information and text messages or emails. That's it. Other than that, Ms. Black is very professional, very knowledgeable. I feel like a family member when I'm talking to her. So that's it.

I'm always treating very well beginning with the front desk representatives to the back office and then my doctor. She is excellent in her care and has exceptional bedside manner. She is very caring, compassionate and a great listener. Everything she tells me to do is very beneficial to me. She's the best and I have recommended her to my sister.

I am very pleased to partner with Dr. Black to join me in my journey to maintain and improve my health. Dr. Black is very easy to talk to and gives good explanations on why a test or treatment plan is recommended. She is personable and shows genuine interest in me as a patient. Also, the office staff are welcoming and attentive.

The staff is very matter of fact, very uninterested, seemingly not concerned with engaging in conversation or explaining perhaps why, when I had the first appointment of the day and arrived at the requested 15 minutes before the appointment time I was waiting for 35 minutes to be called back. The medical assistant had no bedside manner.

The CMA told me how many people were in front of me while I waited for Dr. Black. She was also very thorough in explaining what to expect during my appointment as a new patient and I appreciate that. When Dr. Black arrived she apologized for running behind and spent time getting to know me and was also thorough in her exam. I didn't feel rushed. As soon as I left the appointment I recommended her to a family member. She is awesome.
