Us Southern patients are usually rubbed the wrong way....they don't pacify you.

Although it was some time ago that I had the misfortune to visit the medical practice of Dr…read more Gorokhov, I have realized that I really need to warn people--especially other women--about this physician. I noticed something odd when I first arrived at his practice. It had been listed on the Blue Cross website as being the office for him and his wife Tatyana, also a doctor. But her name had obviously been recently removed from the exterior sign and all the interior signage. I didn't think much about that at the time, but on reflection, it may have been a warning of what was to come. Maybe it wasn't the staff's fault that the tiny waiting room was filled with screaming children hitting each other with no parental supervision in sight. The office staff seemed to feel that the waiting room was not under their control and whatever happened there was none of their business. Wait at your own risk! When I was seen by Dr. Gorokhov, I was struck by his melancholic attitude. This worsened as I tried to explain my medical situation to him. Still, I was amazed when, before I had finished, he shouted, "You're lying, aren't you?" I explained that I was not but he continued to assert throughout the interview that I was lying and that his guesses at my medical situation were more accurate than my own decades of experience with it. In retrospect, I should have left then. His abrasive attitude continued as he asked me if I knew what an allergy to gluten was (although I have never had any symptoms of gluten allergy, he claimed that was what was really the matter with everyone). I said, "Yes, it's an allergy to wheat." "No!" he bellowed. "How can you be so ignorant? Don't you know you can look it up on the internet?" So how was I so wrong? It was, he informed me, an allergy to wheat *and* bulgar. I suppose I should have been more specific! So the office visit was a waste of time and money. He put me through several expensive tests even though I told him that they had been done within the past few months by my previous doctor in South Georgia and that all he had to do was request the results from her. (But then he couldn't have made any money from them, could he?) However, my biggest shock was when I received the results (yes, he sent them by mail) of the blood test. When he decided to do the blood test rather than get the results from the one my previous doctor in Statesboro had done only a couple of months before, he asked if I had eaten recently. I told him I had just eaten lunch. "Well," he said, "That won't matter." Was I surprised when I got the results! He sent the normal results for a fasting blood sugar test--for which the patient is not to have eaten or drunk anything but water for ten hours previously--and compared them to my results right after lunch so he could claim I had a new "serious medical condition" for which, of course, I would need to have extensive expensive treatment by him with a side order of abuse. My only medical training is working as a medical transcriptionist for some years, but even I know that you need to be fasting for the results of a fasting blood sugar test to be valid! Could he really not know this? After I found a much better doctor, I realized that his accusatory and malicious attitude, at least, might have been caused by a recent acrimonious separation or divorce from his wife Tatyana. He seemed determined to take it out on all middle-aged women. Perhaps he would be more polite to a man, but really, do you need a doctor who doesn't know the difference between fasting blood sugar and feasting blood sugar? Save your health, save your self-respect, and avoid this one at all (his very high) costs!

At the first office visit, he suggested I try a nasal spray and if it worked to my satisfaction, there would be no need for surgery. The nasal spray didn't help, but I appreciated his willingness to try it before scheduling surgery if it wasn't necessary. I am really glad that I followed through with the surgery. Dr. Richman was very competent. I trusted him completely. He always answered all of my questions and was very personable. My only complaint would be in the office visit schedule. I always waited at least 30 minutes in the waiting room, and sometimes 45 minutes. But because I appreciated Dr. Richman taking the time that I needed every time I had an appointment, it was worth it to me to wait. I would highly recommend Dr. Richman.

I am not sure why, but I presume it's because they worked her fingers to the bone, as she was very good with patients and always booked because people loved her.

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. I cannot attest to their worth as doctors but this seems vengeful and sour grapes. Seems there's a better way to resolve your business disputes than taking it out on patients.

He took 1.5 hours to perform a complete examination, listened to past problems, made some referrals and suggested she have some procedures done. I was very pleased by his ability to listen and understand my mom, who suffers from mental illness. I only had to interject a couple of times! He seemed genuinely interested in understanding and healing her many health issues. He was also extremely knowledgeable about prescription medicine, even some of her psychotropic medications! Upon leaving both my mom and I felt utterly relieved to have found such a great doctor. HIGHLY recommended for internal medicine.

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.

The front office staff is not professional.

When requesting any help with medication refills over the phone, they will read a script to contact the pharmacy again to have them send over the request to get the refill and not allow you to speak to a nurse or doctor. 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. I am no longer a patient at this office after several years of issues with them as they were unwilling to realize the front office staff was not helping people.

The care seems nice but they never told me that before having my blood pressure taken that i wasn't supposed to eat within the hour. So it always read that i had high blood pressure. On my medical records the notes often said i was obese-- And i'm not... I'm just built heavier because pre pregnancy i used to go to the gym. The women that look after you here are nice but there are a few that have made me uncomfortable because of their attitudes in the past. One woman taking my blood made it extremely uncomfortable, i think she put the needle in incorrectly? And a woman taking my blood pressure didn't let my arm sit in the right position so it read wayyy higher than it was supposed to. My new ob/gyn has definitely made me realize how mediocre the care was for me here and it's a shame it took them pulling the rug from under me to find that out the hard way so close to the end of my pregnancy. Don't settle just because you want a black doctor. You see based off of the news that it doesn't matter what you do! The doctors at Emory midtown made it all over social media for Labor and Delivery icks. Most people just don't care these days. It's about the money for them.
