3 Best Primary Care Physicians in Athens, GA

I, and other members of my family, have been seeing Dr. Haver since 1991 or 1992 for a variety of medical issues. I've decided to write a review, because I read a review complaining about how long patients have to wait beyond the appointment time. This is precisely why I am giving the practice five stars. He's the oh so RARE physician who actually listens to what I'm saying. He gives me whatever time I need to express myself. When I feel myself becoming a bit impatient because it's beyond my appointment time, I simply remind myself that he is likely late to me, because he's extending his practice of listening to another of his patients. This thought stops me from feeling irritated. I have a time or two seen Dr. Shiver, because of scheduling issues. He, too, has a very similar approach. Dr. Haver consulted professionally with my brother, who was also a family physician, on many familial health matters, in particular, as my parents aged. My brother, who is both a saint and a geek about science, remarked to our family on multiple occasions how impressed he was with Dr. Haver's bedside manner, and his medical knowledge. Also, there is little staff turnover in this office which says a lot to me about how the staff are treated. While I realize that this has become long-winded, I must comment on his nurse, Sandra. She is nothing short of stellar. They work very well together, and both have a great sense of humor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Haver for about 8-10 years and I have always been pleased with his care. He takes the time to listen to you and I feel he is genuinely concerned with the well-being of his patients. I would certainly recommend him to anyone! My husband, who has multiple serious chronic conditions, is also a patient. Dr. Haver has managed his care expertly and we could not ask for a better primary care MD. This man is the real deal...look no further!

Dr. Haver has treated me and my family for 25 years, and he and his staff are wonderful. You won't find a better office for care. It is not a stiff uptight atmosphere, but don't be mislead. They are both excellent and I recommend you give them a call.

I have been going to Andrew McElhannon for over 20 years. What I love about him is his relaxed and low-stress approach to patient care. He has a way of discussing health issues without over blowing things. After every visit I came away feeling positive and rejuvenated. I no longer stay in Athens and have to drive for an hour to get to his practice. But it is well worth it. In my books he is the best PCP I have known and I have tried quite a few.

I checked in online which was real easy on their myChart app. Doctor McElhannon is great doctor. Whenever I came in was able to help me with whatever issue I came in for. He explains his diagnosis is ways you can understand and has a great bedside manner.

My experiences are consistently exceptional. I hold Dr. MC in high esteem. He offers outstanding guidance and support in every facet of my life. Since relocating to Kennesaw 3.5 years ago, I have continued to drive to see Dr. MC and his exceptional team. The excellence they provide makes the drive well worth the effort to visit a truly outstanding doctor like Dr. MC.
