Dr. Smiddy spent more than 30 minutes, one on one, going over my medical history and was steadfast in his pursuit of details regarding my health. He's also a bit of a rare find in that he possesses a very keen sense of listening. Furthermore, while the results of my bloodwork were good and unloaded into the patient's portal the following morning, Dr. Smiddy had an associate call me just to reassure me that everything was fine, which is a courtesy I've not experienced since patient records were put online. Highly recommended.

They will not admit any errors or mistakes. Their webpage states, https://druidhillsprimarycare.com/coming-soon for Prescription information, This Page is Under Construction. When you have any additional questions for the doctors, you must make an appointment with the doctor as they will not call you.

That is, in my opinion, an extremely important quality for a doctor. He has been my primary care physician for several years. Dr Popykin does not hesitate to refer you to the best specialists that he knows of. Those that I have been referred to are: Dr Mark Chastain, skin specialist; Dr Brion Lock, lung specialist; Dr Suku George, gastroenterology; Dr Howard Borger, ophthalmology; and Dr Robert Halpern, retinopathy. From my perspective as a professional biologist, my assessment of my treatments from Dr Popykin and all of these doctors is "two thumbs up." All are excellent in my opinion.

You'd reach out to make sure everything went smoothly post appointment and 2. That it is possible to call this urgent care and someone would answer.... They do not respond to any calls, at any hour, or voicemails. They don't even respond on their mychart platform which is again, absurd. I have selected every one of their choices, attempted to speak to front desk, billing, you name it. NO RESPONSE. I have called several times a day between May 28th and June 24th (when I'm writing this review) they do not respond to anything. All I need is an itemized bill of what they did while I was in urgent care to submit to my medical insurance. ICD codes, CPT codes, etc are required for insurance to bill. Mind you before I left both Dr. Christina Collector and her receptionist assured me I could call, contact them my email or my chart for an itemized bill. Yet, No response. Nothing. The bill they gave me is attached. It's a joke. But Piedmont did send me another bill by mail!!!!!!!!!!!!! Received June 20th... I am from out of state. I was visiting Atlanta for a graduation May 25th when I got injured with a laceration. The cut was deep enough for stitches but we didn't make it to urgent care in time. So essentially, Dr. Christina Collector washed the wound, put iodine, Neosporin and a bandage on. All of this could cost someone maybe $50 from cvs. The bill was flat rate $210 and the receipt they gave me was a joke. The saddest thing is, I wanted so badly to like this place and this dr. Now I get to spend my time writing this review and if their medical bills continue to be sent to me? Look forward to alerting the local media and seeing them in court.

This location incorrectly coded my visit and is refusing to correct it with my insurance company,…read moreresulting in a $200+ bill after I visited them for an earache. All they did was take me into a patient room, examine my ear, confirm the infection, and send me my prescription. My insurance covers urgent care, with a co-pay, which I paid. However, they didn't code it as 'urgent care', they coded it as an 'in-office visit' for an 'established patient'. This is the closest urgent care location to my house, I have obviously been here before, but I have never been for routine care. I have a PCP listed with insurance and had already received my well visit earlier this year. The 3 different people this has been escalated to within Aetna agree they incorrectly coded this visit; however, when they called to get them to resubmit the claim, they refused and insist 'office visit' was the correct coding for the visit. My insurance asked their billing department to put the bill on hold while we resolve this; they are 'unable to do that'. When my Aetna representative asked them to connect me with someone who could address the issue, they said there was no one who is able to do that. I know have to go through an appeals process to resolve this with my insurance - I will NEVER step foot in this office again.

Just called for a prescription refill and they said you are no longer a patient because we are not seeing her patients! WTF?? So lame.

However, the front office staff and office policies have not been a good experience. I recently moved out of state and attempted to access my records via the patient portal and could not access them. Per an email request, I received a phone call saying I could complete a form for my new physician (I've already done this) and if I wanted my records I could PAY A FEE for them to be provided via CD. I have two overwhelming concerns: 1) I and/or my insurance company have paid through the nose for medical care for the past 8 years; and 2) who uses CDs anymore-- new computers don't come with a CD drive! What century are you in? Everything is cloud-based now and precisely why I should be able to access my records via the portal. As an example, I can access my Emory and Mayo Clinic records today (some are over 2 decades old and others over a decade old).

This practice has a lot of great reviews and I want to share my experience in case it helps…read moresomeone. In January 2025 I made an appointment for the earliest new patient appointment, which was in June 2025. I decided to wait for the appointment because I really appreciated the philosophy found on the website and definitely liked the glowing reviews. I had positive interactions with all staff I encountered and the clinic was clean and bright. The provider I met with suspected a new problem/diagnosis and so started a work up with labs and imaging. Clinic staff did follow up with me once labs resulted out and referred me to a specialist. The ordered imaging was performed ~2 weeks after my new patient appt but I never received follow up, from the NP or anyone else at Ponce Primary Care re: the imaging results. It has now been ~3 months since my last communication, specific to my care, with anyone in this office. I decided to reach out to discuss the standard of care, which I felt to be lacking. Dr. Chad Costley did return my call within an hour or so and he did verbalize disappointment with my situation. He assured me that my experience is unfortunately the exception to their typical patient experience. I was informed that the NP I had been assigned to was "only part-time and here less than a month". I did not ever receive any communication from Ponce Primary Care to notify me that my assigned provider was departing or to invite me to call to schedule with another provider for seamless continuity of care. I was told that my imaging results were never sent by the imaging facility I went to and that "this is where the wheels came off". That is absolutely possible but it was also not confirmed to be true at the time of the statement. The report not being in the patient chart does not mean it was never received by the ordering office or sent to the ordering provider. Sometimes things get scanned and assigned incorrectly, or not scanned at all. Lots of possibilities there. To me, that shows a lack of accountability for not holding a supervisory review of a departing provider's caseload/EMR task list and it also fails to consider that an out-of-state fax number associated with the ordering provider could be the problem. I waited 6 months for a new patient appointment and, whatever the circumstances, was lost in the shuffle. I will not be continuing with this practice, although I'm sure they have many satisfied patients as evidenced by their overall rating. My advice if you wish to establish/continue care here: Be able to advocate for yourself and for your own healthcare. Be knowledgeable about when to follow up on your care in case the practice doesn't. If the wait is still 6 months out for a new patient appointment when you try to schedule, do not think an extra special or VIP experience awaits you - realize that they just might be too busy to accept new patients.
