Physicians Immediate Med, Duluth

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW!
I have never written a review of any place before, but this place was horrible enough to justify my first ever review. The fee to be seen by the doctor is $ 230, before any diagnosis or treatment. I have been to several urgent care places over the past couple of years and that is the highest fee I have ever seen by a long shot. I waited over an hour in the waiting room and the place did not appear to be busy at all. I had poison ivy and needed a steroid shot. The nurse stated she had never given a steroid shot, «but the book told her to give it to me in my left butt cheek.» That was not reassuring and I felt a sharp pain in my left leg for about an hour after receiving the shot. Please steer clear of this facility at all cost. Trust me.

The customer service here is below average. I wouldn’t come here even if I only needed a bandaid. Didn’t even see the doctor because the nurses at the front were so rude. Grabbed my things and walked right out. Currently testing out an urgent care on pleasant hill down the street.

Soooo slow… You’ll wait forever, like 2 or 3 hours. Then you’ll wait more in the second waiting room. You’ll be told a few times that only 1 person is ahead of you, but then you’ll keep waiting… worse than an emergency room.

No longer what it used to be, new owners at least I don’t have to rewrite all the forms again. But I checked in at 3:25 and now a hour later still waiting. Hopefully the New owners will change carpet and new chairs and we’re is the WiFi. I will admit Dr Toblon is great and now they won’t be able to be primary care only emergency care.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the staff at PIM. Dr. Tablan is hands down the best and the nurses and Najet (at the front desk) are personable, professional and absolutely amazing.
Najet greets everyone with a smile and remembers everyone’s name. She is quick checking you in and gives you very honest wait times so you know if things are a bit busy that day. Najet is also really good with people who are not very nice. I have seen her handle all sorts of patients and even the grouchy ones can’t help but be won over by her infectious smile. Najet is really a treasure that I hope they keep around for a long time. I always looks forward to calling and hearing her voice or seeing her at the desk. Instantly you feel better.
As for the wait, they do take walk ins so sometimes its busy but I have never had to wait for very long.
During the week, Dr. Tablan runs the show (I usually only go during the week) and she runs a really great office. Dr. Tablan is detailed, she is thorough and she never misses anything. She takes the time to really listen and she does not rush you or cut you off. Even just meeting with her for a consultation regarding my health, she is thoughtful and responsive and I feel that she gave me a 100% honest answer to my questions and concerns.
And not to forget the nursing staff, talk about a great group of ladies! Getting shots or blood drawn is no fun but they are quick and as painless as those things can be. I have never had them «dig» for a vein for blood and they can give you a shot faster than you can say «ouch» and come to think of it, I have never had to say «ouch» .Even when they are really busy, the ladies never hesitate to smile or to say «hi» and I have never heard or seen any of them be anything but sweet and professional.
My entire family goes for everything from head colds to sprained feet and I would NOT go anywhere else.

Helpful, friendly staff with ample coverage with very knowledgable caring doctors. They take insurance and have amazing hours. Very affordable for those with and without insurance. Parking is a little small, but not enough to take away from everything else.

Not only did they have great bedside manner, they have made a couple of follow-​up calls to make sure that I am okay.

After my primary care physician retired in 1999, I came down with a sinus infection so I visited Physicians’ Immediate Med in Duluth, GA for treatment. The staff was so friendly and welcoming and took such great care of me, I decided to use them as my primary care provider.
Dr. Tablan is a true gem and the staff, from Najat and Mona in reception to the talented nurses and lab girls truly make going to see a doctor a pleasant experience. Even when you are feeling bad, Najat will put a smile on your face and make you laugh to ease the pain.
Dr. Tablan, unlike most doctors, will take the time to listen to you, figure out what is wrong and treat you based upon her findings and never gives you the «take two aspirin and call me in the morning» approach. She even follows up to make sure you are doing ok, a practice that no other doctor I have ever seen does.
Physicians’ Immediate Med even has an on-​site lab and x-​ray so they can diagnose many problems right in the office before you go.
I would recommend Physician’s Immediate Med to anyone who needs to see a doctor and would challenge them to find another practice that cares as much as they do!

I’ve been here a few times in the past for sports injuries as well as bringing my son up here a couple of times. I had no problems with those visits and was satisfied with the care my son and I received. I started coming here regularly after I discovered my previous PCP at another practice cared nothing about her patients and literally telling my pharmacist not to call her back after I needed an emergency prescription for a nebulizer machine.
Originally I thought this was just an urgent care center, but after checking with my insurance and verifying with the office staff over the phone, I discovered that this office can serve as a PCP as well.
Unlike many other doctor’s offices, the reception staff here is wonderful. They are always friendly and seem to enjoy working there.
My most recent visit was with Dr. Tablan and she is a wonderful doctor. She actually listens to patients concerns, and always has time to answer questions which is a stark contrast to many other doctors that don’t seem to want to take time with patients and only want to rush them out the door so they can get to the next patient and do the same thing to them.
I came here because I was having many problems breathing and the specialist I saw prior to coming here wasn’t much help at all. Dr. Tablan on the other hand took time with me asking pertinent questions related to my asthma and ended up prescribing me new temporary medications that tremendously helped my condition and I finally see myself improving for the first time in 4 months.
Yesterday she called me back in the office to inform me that a medication I have been using for quite a while is known to cause heart problems in some people. I too noticed my heart beating very hard and rapidly unexpectedly throughout the day but never made the connection between it and my medication I was on. She suggested I try a different medication to eliminate that risk and only go back to the original medication if the new medication was not effective. I really appreciated this and never before has a doctor done this for me.

Even the cheeriest of optimists dread walking into a doctor’s office. The morbid grey walls, the unpredictably long wait times, the 3-​year old magazines and the company of the sickest and crankiest people in town.
This place is different though. The receptionist is hilarious — cracking jokes about everyone and everything. The football game’s on tv — triggering loud YEAAAS and NOOOOS. The wait time is super short — around 10 downs (or 5 minutes for the layperson).
From the wisecracking receptionist to the friendly nurses to the sympathetic and accessible doctor, this place sets the standard in healthcare.

I was able to get in over the Holiday weekend and waited as long as it took me to fill out the forms since I was a new patient. The doctor was very caring and helpful and treated me immediately. They called me the next day to see how I was doing which is customer service I am not used to much.

I left off a star because despite the fact that I was the only patient waiting to see a doc I still ended up waiting 20+ minutes in the waiting room. The staff here was great — super friendly like they actually like their jobs. I even received a phone call 2 days later from the doctor herself to check on my condition. That surprised the heck outa me. They accepted my insurance and I paid only my copay.
