Reagan Medical Center

I’ll make this short and to the point. .
I LOVE Dr Rafeedie! He is great and very flexible and personable. Not too fond of any other dr there. Some seem to be rude. 9 out of 10 times I’ve been there, the front office employees have been kind of rude and act like you’re bothering them. They’re not very professional to be honest. The hours are convenient and pricess are great. I wouldn’t go there if it wasn’t for Dr. Rafeedie though unless it was for the convenient hours.

Tried to take my 18 month old daughter here for a chest X-​ray ordered by another urgent care place (NextCare off Sugarloaf). I tried calling before hand to ask if they would do a chest X-​ray on my daughter but I was sent to automated system and then it hung up on me. When I arrived I signed in and had to wait to even ask them my question. The lady at the front desk said right away they did not perform Chest X-​rays on children under 2. She suggested I go to the Children’s medical center off Satelite (went there only to be told they don’t perform chest X-​rays on weekends with out if network order). I was disappointed at the lack of knowledge from the staff of possible solutions to my problem. They didn’t offer to try and call to ask before I drove all the way to the other place. I went to 3 separate urgent care places only to be given another place to go and try. The staff should be a little more knowledgeable about other options when they aren’t able to provide a particular service.

Very busy. That was fine, but I had to wait @ desk to be acknowledged, then ask what I needed to do. I was given a sign in sheet that had between 5 to 6 people before me. I asked if there was anything I needed to fill out and was told no. Then after about an hour when my name was called after the 5 or 6 before me, they asked me if I had filled out my information on a tablet. I said no and they said you need to fill this out first. It took me 10 minutes to fill out. I could have filled it out In the hour I was waiting! It only took me 10 minutes to fill out & turn in, Then another 30 minutes later after 4 more people had gone in before me, I was finally checked in. Both receptionists did not smile or seem friendly. The rest of my experience, though, was great. I especially liked the medical assistant. It was busy, she worked quickly, but she made me feel like I was her only patient. The Dr was extremely professional, friendly, kind, helpful, and was very cognizant of my medical history even though it was a walk in clinic and I was from out of town. The only critique I have is that I left a little unsure of follow up details such as how little or much I should put weight on my foot, and I could just use the walking cast, or should I use crutches too. I don’t really blame her for that, though. It was very busy and hectic there. My foot is feeling better, I’ll get follow up treatment when I go home, and I think she did all the best and correct things for my treatment. I’m really glad this was an overall good experience because both my brother & sister in law have had very bad experiences at the ER. I am so happy this place is nearby, open Saturday’s, & has an X-​ray machine so I didn’t need to go to the ER, and now they know this Is a place they could go to as well.

Been dealing with bronchitis for a while and these ‘doctors’ give me two shots (having all my medical history) and send me home with antibiotic version of the shot.
I take them and have crazy reaction, turns out it’s medicine I am allergic to (they knew about it since they ‘made sure’ to ask me before I left, not to mention my history is on file)
I call and let them know of this and they instruct me to stop taking pills and doc will call in an hour. 3 hours later I call back to be met with a high attitude individual letting me know I am lucky no worse reactions occurred and that they are not a pharmacy and will not refund the $ 70 I paid for the medicine but just to go get another one they will call in and if something bad/​worse happens that I go to the ER.
Not to continue too much further, DO NOT go here. DO NOT take your loved ones. Boycott this entire facility for being so horribly bad and by pretending to be doctors.
Please share and spread this around. This is no joke, these guys need to be shut down.

I have gone to this location here and there for the past 3 years. The fact that they are open 365 days a year and do not require an appointment makes me come back. To be more specific, they open from 8:00 to 7:00 on weekdays and 12:00 to 5:30 on weekends. This makes it ideal to get diagnosis and prescriptions without having to miss work. If your problem turns out to be more specific, you will get referred to a specialist for that field. This being said, this place can run several diagnostic imaging tests such as ultrasound, MRI, X-​rays, etc.
If you come here without an appointment as a walk in, you will spend about 2 – 3 hours on average until you are done with everything and out the door; it will take longer if you are a new patient. If you do make an appointment, it usually takes around 1 – 1.5 hours. The rates for seeing doctors and tests are reasonable, but I will not be listing the prices as that truly depends on matter of insurance and service provided.
As for the nurses and doctors, they are about average. The nurses in general are all very friendly and treat you with care and respect. As for the doctors, it is really hit or miss. I personally recommend asking for Dr. George Rafeedie as he is the best in terms of knowledge, care, and friendliness. There are times when it seems some doctors are rushing you to take a more expensive and detailed tests to rule out the worse, but if you push enough to voice your concerns, they will be willing to pay attention to your particular symptoms and consult a specified solution to meet your needs.

I had a good experience on a Saturday morning. In and out in an hour. Pleasant folks, good doctor. Definitely will not hesitate to return if need be.

This place is wonderful !! Brought my college age daughter here last fall for pelvic pain. We were assigned a very professional doctor who diagnosed and treated her condition. He even phoned her a few days after to make sure the medication was working. Very impressed with the follow up and the fact that the CT scan could be done on site. Returned once again because she was experiencing swollen glands and sore throat. Same doctor suspected mono before the strep test came back which it was. Love it when a doctor is that in tune! The staff is always friendly and we’ve never waited more than 15 minutes. We pay out of pocket for medical expenses and the facility is always sensitive to this.

I will never come here again. I only came here based on a referral from a friend who appreciates *one* of the doctors.
I came here for a women’s general wellness checkup and I ended up getting sick a few days later as backlash from some of the checkup’s procedures. I am leaning towards unsanitary conditions within the facility.
I have posted up pictures of inside the patient room I was in. I am extremely alarmed that this place had deodorant soap for the most part versus antibacterial soap in all of the rooms. I have worked in biology labs in college and one of the experiments we tested were washing hands with deodorant soap versus antibacterial and found deodorant soaps killed little to almost none of bacteria such as E.Coli. This is absolutely ridiculous and I wonder if this is the reason I got sick due to poor sanitizing of the doctor’s hands before performing procedures on me.
It didn’t help when they asked for a urine sample that there was NO SOAP in the bathroom either. How does the soap run out at a healthcare facility?! I do not want anyone dying or catching an illness by coming here, this is the sole purpose of my review.
The staff are friendly but there’s an aura of nonprofessional you wouldn’t expect from a healthcare facility. There are certain things you can joke around Doctor to Patient about for the most part (I have the biggest sense of humor) but personal things should be off limit in order to build trust.
They also need to better screen the skills of the receptionists (no offense). The receptionist didn’t care to read my insurance card properly and tried charging me more for my visit than needed. I asked her to take a look again and she realized she made a mistake.
Needless to say, I won’t be back and I am terribly disappointed such a place exists in Atlanta. I’m off to search for a better facility for me.

Love this place! Very professional and the staff is great!!!
When my family dr is not open this is the place to go! The staff is great And pleas say Hello to

Thanks

I have been to this medical center on a couple of occasions. The most recent time was both for myself and for my 13-​year-​old son. The medicine that I was prescribed for my condition contained sulfa in it and I clearly told the nurse that I had a reaction to medications with sulfa. just sound out that medication had sofa in it? I had a bad reaction! And ended up going to the emergency room. so what I thought was going to be a $ 50 visit to urgent care center has now resulted in the $ 700 bill from the ER. in regarding my son the three minutes that the PA spent with him he diagnosed him with Osgood Schlatter’s. He ordered x-​rays but did not tell me that he ordered x-​rays. I realized this a couple of days later as I was reading the discharge papers from Reagan medical. so I take my son back for x-​rays on January 15. No one ever calls me with the results. I start calling them, I have probably called about five times. so today on February 20 I get a nurse who actually tries to help me. after explaining to her that the x-​rays were not four days ago that they were actually a month and four days ago she puts me on hold for about three minutes and comes back and says the provider looked at him and said everything looks normal but if he is still having pain we can give you a referral to an orthopedist. Well I already knew that he needed a specialist!!! And I really don’t trust that the provider just looked at these and gave them the once over and said the x-​rays look normal.
This place is so insanely busy and the providers of really don’t care because you’re probably not going to come back as a patient. Don’t go! Find another urgent care. There are dozens of them around just don’t go to this one because they may give you a medication that you have a reaction to you and you’re going to end up in the ER.

Dr. Satish Poddar has been taking great care of me since 2000! The staff is a competent group of medical professionals! Sabrina Boyd, his assistant is the bomb! She knows it before he says it! The reason the waits can be long, great place to get quality care, period. Price competitive, if you are private pay this may be expensive depending on what you have done. Love, love, love these guys, family after all these years! Oh, and they do all kinds of diagnostics right on site, MRI, CT Scan, Mammograms, Stress Tests, Sleep tests, etc.

Place is insanely busy but I got there a few minutes before the opened and was out in 2 hours. Not bad. Folks were friendly.

Went in for nausea. PA looked at me for one minute and wrote a scrip telling me it’s my chronic cough making me throw up. Ummm… Nope. Don’t think so, bc it was happening after eating, not coughing (not that he asked me that.). This place used to be awesome, but the quality of care has really fallen. Doctors are hurried and front desk people are rude.
This is the McDonalds of Medicine. Stay away.

When I first moved to Georgia I was without health insurance and thought that going to a «clinic» would be the way to go (cheaper than going to a regular doctor’s office). As a result of my initial visit I left Reagan a positive review — since that first visit my eyes have been opened. It has become glaringly obvious that this clinic is all about the almighty dollar, rather than the health of their patients.
I take one med that requires periodic blood testing (in the past once per year). Knowing that I didn’t have insurance they did my blood work and said that my meds needed to be adjusted and that I needed to come in for an appointment (charge = $ 50). I asked if the doctor could just call in my updated prescription as I have been taking this med in varying strengths for over 10 years and if I really needed to spend $ 50 for a 5 minute chat with the doctor to change my med. The answer was no deal. No expensive 5 minute chat = no needed med adjustment. Bottom line after seeing a new private doctor — I have been taking an incorrect medication amount for months, thanks to the greedy physicians at Reagan Medical Center.
An interesting note to all of this is when I printed out my lab results from their website there was a notation at the bottom that read «charge patient full price». Once again — these people simply don’t care about anything except for the bottom line.
I also need to make mention of the fact that the diagnosis here is just plain «sloppy». The doctor diagnosed me with «obesity», and proceeded to sit in a chair about 5 feet away from me to discuss my obesity. EXCUSE ME — I am 6’4″ tall and a very lean 190 pounds! Evidently a nurse had written my weight down as 100 pounds more than I actually weigh. Open your eyes doc! Take a good long, look at these abs!
So…if any of you Unilocalers took my initial positive review to heart and went to see this clinic, I apologize. Don’t go back. There is a much more caring, personable, economical, professional doctor right down the street. Just in terms of price alone, my new doc charges me $ 20 for the blood work that Reagan charged me $ 100 for. (Email me for his contact info).

The nurse Bridgett was so nice and she seemed very enthusiastic to all her patients.
However, it took me 2 hours to get a biometrics screening and the Doctor that talked to me seemed very rushed to get me out of there. She kept leaving and talked to me for 5 minutes, I felt like I wasn’t allowed to say anything and just listen to her talk.
Overall, what made me rate 4 stars was Bridgett because she was the nicest nurse I have ever met and she is the main reason I would go back and get treatment from them.
I hope all other doctors and nurses learn from her courteous manner so maybe they will get happier patients in the end.

Waiting time and communication is ridiculous. Took vitals and put me in a room and said they would be with me shortly. Thirty five minutes so far and still sitting here. Sat in waiting room and hour and a half before this.

CROWDED! Would give 5 stars if it wasn’t so much a long wait. Is this the only place to get medical attention in Lawrenceville? Great clinic for the neighborhood. Lots of staff members which help and it helps that they are friendly.

Will never go back! This place gave me pretty strong antibiotics for a stomach virus. Everyone knows you don’t take antibiotics for a VIRUS! My husband also had to go back to these guys like three times just to get the correct dosage of antibiotics for an infected finger. The only reason he went to them in the first place is because it was Christmas day and everything else was closed. DO NOT go to these people unless you have no insurance and close to death. Seriously!
