		Our NPs have helped our practice grow by allowing the physicians to see more patients in a timely fashion. They have also been able to learn, evolve, and perform new procedures and to practice interdependently with the physicians. They are available for yearly appointments as well as acute problems. Patients feel that our NPs really listen, take the time, as well as give excellent care. Since patients often request NPs exclusively for their women’s healthcare, it confirms that they are doing a great job. about us | our staff | patient education | links | events | insurance | picture gallery | contact us © 2003 Peachtree City Obstetrics and Gynecology.
