Should you have an urgent medical need that cannot wait until regular office hours, our automated telephone service will forward the message to Dr.George during the hours the office is closed. Your call will be returned as soon as possible. Dr. George is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergencies.
Dr. George does not admit to the hospital. In the event that you require hospitalization, we coordinate admissions to Northside Hospital Cherokee and Wellstar Kennestone Hospital by the hospitalists who are physically present in the hospital 24/7. A "hospitalist" is a specially trained physician devoted exclusively to the care of hospitalized patients. The "hospitalist" will care for you during your hospital stay and then refer you back to us for continuing medical care.
