I have Dr Ellen Athens as my primary care physician from 1982 to 2000. I hen moved out of state, but returned in 2015 and she became my primary care physician from 2015 until the present. There was no question about returning to her practice as I never had a bad experience.

She's been my doctor for decades. I've had excellent treatment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/24/2025
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.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/21/2025
Dr Ellen Athens is always very knowledgable and thorough. She is considerate and can be fun. We have some good laughs together.

- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/19/2025
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.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/19/2025
Love that she listens openly and gives her feedback
