    I have been attending the Athens clinic for several decades now, and continue to do so because they care about the patients. Dr. Ellen in particular will spend time with a patient to review test results line by line and explain everything in detail to those patients who may not fully understand the significance of certain things. In addition she is open to discussion about issues and cares about the personal opinions, thoughts, and feelings of the patient.

    Dr. Ellen Athens has been my primary care provider for a mini years. But she is much more rushed now then she was when it was a privately owned clinic. Various tests and bloodwork that could be done in her office now require a separate appointment at a different car well facility. May be good for core well, but not especially convenient for the patients.
