Dr. Woodson was fine; however, the gentleman at the front desk was incredibly rude. It put a damper on the whole experience. I was talked down upon and threaten for seeking clarification.
Seriously my favorite doctor I have ever had. I recommend him to everyone and everyone loves him. He is very through, passionate and makes you confident in what he tells you. Love him.

He and his staff were wonderful at figuring out what was going on and treating things without having to see it themselves.
He was able to answer my questions and adjust my treatment plan to increase improvement. Easiest doctor to talk to.
Overall, my visit with Dr. Woodson was excellent. Everyone in the office treated me with respect and kindness.
Verified patient
I love the way he wants an extensive family history of his pt. he did a great job taking care of my husband.
Dr. Woodson was very thorough and easy to talk to. Overall I had a very positive experience at his office.
De Woodson is attentive, thorough and makes great suggestions to help promote better health.
Verified patient
Very matter of fact and to the point. I look forward to my next appointment.
Im 29y/o he made me feel more comfortable than any doctor I have ever seen.
Excellent Doctor. I his staff is very friendly and quite competent too.
Verified patient
Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Highly recommended!
I was told to come in for a follow-up, which was just a way of making a quick buck. He simply told me in three minutes there is nothing he could do. Although there were issues in my blood work there was nothing significant to address, so he just said that's that. Is that something that I could have been told over the phone by a nurse? Instead of driving out and paying for it. Very unprofessional and a total waste of time and money. I recommend seeing someone who cares more for the patient.
Thanks
Verified patient
My visit was for existing joint pain from arthritis I have been dealing with for several years with my regular physician in another state. I just relocated to Atlanta and needed to continue my course of therapy with someone locally. As I am not a great candidate for surgery because of a heart condition my usual treatment was a shot in both shoulders at least three times a year and narcotic pain medication to sleep. When I mentioned the Norco I thought he was going to have a stroke jumping backward in his chair and blurting out "I am not interested in prescribing anything like that!" I will never go back to this clinical research technician that requires a 10 page health survey before seeing him and actually never asked what is going on with my health.
Seriously my favorite doctor I have ever had. I recommend him to everyone and everyone loves him. He is very through, passionate and makes you confident in what he tells you. Love him.

Great doctor with great reccomendations
Verified patient
Great doctor. Very professional, great staff and office. I felt I was charged a fair amount/don't feel I'm overcharged for anything.
Verified patient
Excellent doctor, very knowledgeable with great bedside manner. My only gripe is the waiting time. This is the third time I have been there and I always see the nurse straight away but am left waiting at least 30 mins for the doctor, which is quite frustrating.
I would definitely book with his office again.
Verified patient
I really liked the staff And Dr Woodson. One of the elevators was down And the nice recepcionist came to get me and show me to the other elevator to be sure I wouldn't get confused or lost. Very friendly and efficient staff.
Verified patient
I am new to the area and did not have any idea which doctor to use when I became really sick this week. Dr. Woodson's secretaries were extremely polite, helped me find the office, and welcomed me by name as soon as I walked in. I didn't have to wait at all and was treated very kindly. Dr. Woodson told me exactly what was going on and gave me multiple options of medicines and remedies as well as helped me find the nearest and most convenient pharmacy, since I didn't have one yet either. He gave me inexpensive tips to help ease my symptoms and genuinely wanted to help me get better as soon as possible. I will be back next month for a wellness check up and plan to use him as my primary physician. A very nice, knowledgeable, approachable person!
Very friendly and professional staff. The building was also quite nice and easily accessible. Dr. Woodson seems to really be detailed and thorough.
Verified patient
It was pretty good overall. I had to wait a bit, I guess they were backed up. The nurses are so nice. I loved the place, it was very clean and bright.
Verified patient
He is an amazing doctor!!! I would recommend anyone to get a check up with him. He really listens to his patients and pays close attention to details. Thank you dr. Woodson
Verified patient
Dr. Woodson and his staff are very helpful and very caring. I have only seen this doctor twice but I can tell he is very knowledgeable and cares about his patients. I would recommend him as I will be seeing him again for future appointments.
Professional, efficient, and friendly - went for a physical and a few other checks and got everything done well enough - he knew how to keep everything to a minimum (I usually ask too many questions or have extraneous concerns but he was very confident in what I did or did not need - may not be the best thing though...)
I have gone from a size 16 to a size 6 petite since beginning Dr. Woodson's "phased weight-loss plan" a year ago. I've lost 11 inches off my waist and hips. I would not have accomplished this without his support and guidance. And I am equally pleased with the nursing staff that I interact with. They provide excellent nutritional as well as medical information.
Verified patient
Seems to be a very caring doctor. listens to his patients and answers questions so you can understand. Very interested in providing great care. highly recommend to anyone.
Dr. Woodson takes all the time you need to discuss your questions. He looks at patients holistically. You are not just an arm or an organ needing to be healed, but a whole person.
Probably one of the best doctors I have had since my pediatrician 30 years ago. He took his time and explained different medicines and actually cared about my health issues. Highly recommend and you won't be disappointed by him or his entire staff! ***** stars.
Verified patient
Dr. Woodson has been my physician for over 20 years. Always, he has been a great listener and willing to search for the root of the problem. His staff have always been caring and helpful. I would highly recommend him to others. You will not find another physician like him. Extremely knowledgeable.
Verified patient
Dr. Woodson is an AMAZING doctor! Doctors like him are hard to find but much needed. His practice focuses on preventitive medicine and I love that! Everyone needs a doctor like him and if you don't have one, go see him TODAY!
Verified patient
I've lost over 70lbs following Dr. Woodson's "Phased Weight Loss" Program. During my visits he follows up on my concerns, checks my progress and guides me to making the choices that are best for me. Dr.Woodson also oversaw my osteoporosis treatment and continues to evaluate my bone density scans.
Verified patient
I have never had a doctor perform such a thorough case history. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. You can tell he really enjoys medicine and trying to figure out how to solve medical problems.
Very professional
Thorough! All the professionals in this office take the time to explain procedures so that I understand how to take care of myself.
I went to see Dr. Woodson for my annual check up. It was a very good experience. Nice and relaxed, yet professional. Highly recommend.
Verified patient
He was very invested in my health as a whole not just a general quick consultation. I really appreciated his interest in the convenience of his office to my residence/job and his ability to make me feel comfortable through the entire visit.
