Ms Childs was superb. In this day in time, I have had to wait to see doctors for 2 months or more and yes they were Emory doctors. I've been to Emory Hospital 3 times in the last 8 months so I am very aware there is an issue seeing doctors and scheduling tests. Not with Ms Childs. They got me in right away She was absolutely wonderful going over everything and I did not feel rushed. I've already told 4 people to see her for knees. Now if you could get your neurology,, pulmonology and PCP departments more physicians so we don't have to wait 2 months to see a doctor. I would love to expand on this and other issues if you contact me. Because of all the issues I have had, it was very refreshing to see Ms. Childs. She restored my faith that you might not be all about money.
Melissa was very proficient, encouraging and effective

Ms Childs had a great attitude but probably overestimated my intelligence. She raced through many details where I was barely keeping up. In part, I was trying to process some very serious news she was giving me, while she breezed through a bunch of options. At the end I realized that I had not listened well and neither my wife nor I clearly remembered some important details.
