I am not a patient of Athens Pulmonary but I am a referring provider and I have been very pleased with the care patients receive from the providers and staff here!
It took 2 weeks to obtain an appointment, the scheduler wouldn’t answer the phone. They need to hire more help to answer the phone and take
appts. It’s not rocket science.
I have had nothing but a great experience with these doctors and staff. From seeing me promptly to refilling my lost medication. Thank y’all for everything so far.
My father was seen by Dr. Coleman for constant cough, shortness of breath, and he mentioned to Dr. Coleman he had been experiencing calf pain. Dr. Coleman did an xray, did not even address his complaints of calf pain, and sent him home …
Had to be seen here due to some chronic bronchitis and pneumonia issues. Dr Martinez and his Nusre Christy were on it! Got me seen quickly – got me the RIGHT meds and got me back to goodness. Would definitely recommend this office.
From the front desk to the doctor and in between these people have been nothing kind, considerate and helpful. This is my first visit to a Pulmonologist and I just don’t know what else they could do to be or treat me any better.
I have NEVER been to this place and yet they submitted a debt to my credit report for $50. Unacceptable. I can’t imagine how they treat their actual patients.

I’m very well pleased with my treatment and the Dr’s taking care of me, they are kind and answer all my questions that I had. The nurses are very sweet and concern with my health and well being.
I cannot speak about the level of care that Athens Pulmonary offers because quite frankly I could not bring myself to actually go to their office. Their paperwork is full of bad grammar, typos, and misspellings. I realize that there is …
Shortly after moving to Northeast Georgia my mother was diagnosed by this group with lung cancer (secondary to treatment of breast cancer 11yeats ago). She was seen by a mid level John Carey. He was thorough, kind, compassionate. He took …
While in the hospital an appt. Was made that I totally overlooked due to being single and very sick. No reminder was sent ,my first knowledge of this appt. Was when I received a bill for 50.00 for missed appt. I have tried twice to contact …
I went to this place thinking they will help me with my sleeping problems. Dr. Nehal Bhatt Prescribed me a medicine that made me sick with nauseas, vomiting, dizziness and body pains. I been calling and calling for 3 weeks to see if he can …
Mixed experiences; top medical care with lousy customer service skills from the desk and billing. I am still unhappy about being turned away from a scheduled sick appointment this week. I had no money, and a good explanation, but there was …
We were referred over for screening. Over the course of two weeks, I have made numerous calls to this office to try to schedule an appointment to which it kept directing me to their answering machine. Left messages but no call back. Had to …
I had a very long appointment this morning at Athens pulmonary. I spoke with at least 7 different professionals.

Took my mother here for treatment and couldn’t believe the unprofessional and uncaring way we were treated. No compassion and the front desk acted like we were a burden to be waited on. Come to find out, the doctor wasn’t even there so they …
This was my first visit. I saw Dr Coleman and she was great. They had nice staff and nurses. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. If you are having trouble with asthma, or sleeping I truly suggest this Dr. office. …
Incredibly disappointing. Staff is misleading, rude, and unhelpful. This place is all about doing unnecessary testing so they can collect money on it, and they will give you the runaround if you say no to these tests in the first place. …
This place is a joke! My husband was sent here by the VA. They ask us for our insurance card and we told them the VA was responsible. It didn’t matter they charged OUR insurance company (without seeing our insurance card) and refuse to let …
I had an outstanding bill that I wasn’t aware of, I was told by the billing manager that I couldn’t be seen the day of my appointment until the bill was paid in full, I offered to pay something towards the bill the day of my appointment but …
As I read all the negative experience’s some have had and we all have our own opinions, but I had no problem at all and everyone I came in contact with was nice, respectful and down to earth!! I was a VA patient as well and No Problems!! :))))
Courteous
Always kind and considerate
Great staff. Great care.
First, Do No Harm.
I guess they’ve forgotten that.
I am treated with professionalism, kindness and care whenever I visit.
I wish I could give this place Zero stars. Rude front desk staff and horrible billing manager.
Every person that I have dealt with at Athens Pulmonary have been first class in every level.
I had a problem with front desk. When i got to the back the Dr an staff were great.
Insanely expensive. $600 for an initial appointment.
Yall kidding me? I have to wait 2 months for an appointment??? What if my chest collapses tomorrow????

Competent medical professionals and they honor their appointments. I owe a lot to both the pulmonary and sleep medicine centers here.
