My name is Jody, I am the office manager of NeuroCare Center of Atlanta and I have worked with Dr. Awad for over 10 years now. We are a small practice affiliated with the Piedmont Clinic and Piedmont Hospital in the Atlanta area.
We are a small office with a solo physician. We try our best to accomodate everyone that needs to be seen. We actually have an excellent record based on thorough evaluations by the patients and the referring physicians. These are sponsored by leading professional companies in the field of hospital and physician service ""evaluations"". We are required to meet certain standards, guidelines and ethics dictated by the profession itself and by the hospital and the clinic administration.
We are aware of the fact that we cannot please everyone; it is the advantage of a good health care system to allow the patient to see whoever they please and to select from a variety of practices in the same specialty as they feel appropriate.
One way to evaluate a specialist is by the level of communication he or she has with your primary care physician and by making sure that you as a patient, understand your plan of care and ask all the questions that are important to you to participate in your own care.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for understanding that we are privilaged in this country to express our opinions openly and freely. This is a right that we need to protect and of course, show respect and responsibility when we excercise it.
