Recommended Specialists and Therapists
We are fortunate to work with some of the best pediatric specialists in the country. We carefully evaluate specialists in area, continually monitor the care they provide to our patients, and only refer our patients to specialists we trust. Be sure to review the instructions on our procedures to arrange your referral. If the specialty or specific practice you want to see is not listed here, please contact our referral coordinator through the portal or by phone.
Pediatric Medical Specialists
We strongly recommend that you always take your child to a pediatric center unless it is impossible to do so.
We are also integrated with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta which has numerous urgent care centers and emergency departments.
Please see our after hours guidelines for more information, and our chart on where to take your child for specific conditions.
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Urgent Care at Hudson Bridge. You can view wait times and reserve a spot on their website.
We strongly recommend that you take your child to a pediatric emergency room or community ER that has pediatric coverage if at all possible, unless it is a true emergency, in which case you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

We sometimes use Piedmont Henry lab, especially for newborn jaundice.

You should check with your insurance carrier to see what facilities are in your network.
