Though I have seen many doctors and PAs come and go I continue to get appointments right when I need them and spot-on diagnoses. Julie was great for me every single time I saw her. Now that Dr. V Wilson has a large group backing him I expect there to be big changes. Fewer Sat. hours is the only negative change I have noticed so far.

I told them the secondary insurance pays that and they said they no longer file secondary for patients. I told them I needed my super bill so I can file, they said they don't provide it.

They said there was no place on their form for a second insurance. I left. They never notified their patients of this policy change.

This clinic run by Dr Alvin Wilson is the most poorly run group of medical personnel I have ever…read morebeen involved with. I have been a practicing RN for over 42 years and I am appalled by their lack of knowledge, empathy and professionalism. They have called in inaccurate medications to my pharmacy, refused to refill blood pressure, cholesterol and thyroid medication during the height of the pandemic which affected my health. The office on Sunset is very dirty and the overall care is terrible. I would never recommend this practice to anyone.

Beware, this practice is now called "Athens Family Medicine" by the staff on the phone, but they…read morehave failed to change their info online, on the printing posted to the establishment's door, etc. I have gone to APC for about 4 years now. I began when Dr. Hawn was still the main doctor there, and it has steadily gone downhill since she randomly walked out of work and never came back. My most recent issue with them led me to post here. I take prescribed anxiety medication daily, and cannot skip a day without feeling cloudy and miserable. A couple of months ago, upon trying to fill my medication with my pharmacy, I was told that I was out of refills and this needed to call my prescriber. However, in the time between my last-filled prescription and my now-pending one contingent on APC sending my prescription through, they had hired Margaret Opare-Ado, a nurse practitioner who has taken over the practice. Instead of understanding that I could not go without my medication (especially for days at a time) her nurse demanded that Margaret needed to see me before refilling my medication. This was annoying, but I complied. Not wanting to go through the same situation again, I requested, at my first visit with Margaret, that she send my medication to CVS mail order pharmacy in 90-day increments. It took 4 months of me going between CVS Caremark and the nurses and receptionists at "Athens Family Medicine" to see my mail order prescription to fruition. The nurse got snappy with me a couple of times, and even told me on one occasion that it was my fault for "not checking to see if my medication's prescription was fulfilled until I was almost out of my monthly script" (which I kept having to get refilled in months increments at Kroger while waiting for the mail order to get sorted out). Come to find out, after roughly my 5th call with CVS Caremark customer service, I find out that MARGARET HERSELF HAD NOT CHANGED HER PRESCRIBER INFORMATION IN THE SYSTEM. That's why my medication wasn't being fulfilled. I am changing doctors because of the poor attitude of the staff here, as well as Margaret's ignorance to simple formalities/procedures that have inhibited me (and I'm sure many others) from reviving their medications. Don't waste your time with this place.

She is very professional. Nine years ago Dr Chisolm and I were having a normal office visit. He was reviewing the notes from a liver specialist I'd recently seen. The specialist told me to slow down on my drinking. He wasn't that concerned. Dr Chisolm point blank told me if I didn't stop drinking I was going to DIE. So, I stopped that day! About a month later I found out that I had cirrhosis of the liver. The doctor at the hospital told me if I hadn't stopped drinking I would be dead. Give them a try; you will not be disappointed.

From check in to check out all the ladies at the front desk are efficient and thorough. They offer a patient portal for the tech savvy where you can request appointments, request prescription refills or leave a message for the Doctor. If you prefer the old fashion call in to make an appointment, the front desk makes it easy and painless. I love that they still call the day before for appointment reminders and if you need to cancel, you can do so at the touch of a button. They accept most Insurances and major credit cards. If you ever have questions, most can be answered with a simple phone call or by logging into the patient portal. So if you are in the market for an Exceptional Physician and Excellent Client Care, look no further than Hawthorne Medical Associates!

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Setia and her staff!! Dr. Setia is very caring and informative. She will…read morerefer you to a specialist before she tries to guess at what's wrong. I didn't give 5 stars because she doesn't give refills on medication. Only a 90 day supply and then you have to be seen. I've been on the same medication for as long as I can remember (approx 10 years). I constantly run out of medicine, which is very dangerous. They won't refill medication when the pharmacy requests it and by the time the pharmacy notifies me of the denial and I contact the office I'm down to just a couple days worth of medication. Then I have to be seen (not just schedule an appt, but actually be seen) and get the Rx sent into the pharmacy and have it shipped to me.
