I am exceptionally glad to have found a new doctor, i was being seen prior by an inept doctor at Gwinnett Clinic in Snellville where the care of the patient was of no importance. My new doctor heard my concerns, understand my condition and prescribed me what I needed as per my routine without fail. I am so glad I switched to a real caring medical facilities.

Excellent customer care and service. Amazing office with great hospitality especially Dr. Thuy Vy Tran Plata. The most important factor is they are open on Saturdays and I was able to book a weekend appointment versus going to the emergency room. This location is highly recommended.
