Lifestyles Magazine :: life around the perimeter

Who better than a physician to make a recommendation? Why another doctor, of course. We surveyed a large group from all over the Southern Arc to nominate their favorites, and the votes are in. From allergists to cardiologists, there are physicians from nearly every specialty. Listed below are the recommendations made by doctors in Coweta, Fayette, Clayton, Henry, Carroll and Douglas counties. So, if your friends or family can’t offer any suggestions for a physician, take your pick from those listed below.

NOTE: The doctors on this list are all-stars according to their peers, but we recognize that, inevitably, many excellent physicians are not represented. And although the doctors on this list are respected by their peers, there is no guarantee that he or she is the best doctor for you. This information should not be a substitute for your own inquiry and judgment. Furthermore, these results do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of Lifestyles Magazine. The editorial staff made every effort to verify each doctor’s name, specialty, practice name and phone number, but it would be nearly impossible to “check out” each doctor with an office visit.
