I've been a paitiant of Dr Atkinson's for several years. The Dr. and his staff are second to none. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a Dr. He's kind, understanding, and is the best general practitioner I've ever had. His staff is kind, understanding and helpful. Several family members have been patients before moving to the Carolinas. They were the ones who recommended Dr. A, I've been a happy paitiant ever since. Thanks Dr A, Pat, Sharon, Deb, and Alexis.
