Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Met Dr.Echols and her staff at Walmart Medical Clinic in Loganville. I was very impressed by the whole staff. They were professional and knowledgable. It was state of the art, immaculately clean, organized and still adhering to CDC covid standards. I waited 10min at the most. Very impressed patient centered. I will definitely go back and recommend.

I was satisfied with DR. Echols as my PCP. I was assigned to her by Blue Cross but no longer go to her because I received a letter from Blue Cross stating that her practice has informed them that they will no longer accept Blue Cross insurance. I was a little dismayed that the practice didn't notify their Blue Cross patients first. While I was a patient there, I really liked the use of technology for notifications and information. Her staff was satisfactory.

From the time that I arrived until when I left, I felt that all of the staff were extra nice and accommodating! Brandon came in to take vitals and we talked like we were friends and Dr. Echols really listened to everything that I talked about(long list). The phlebotomist got my blood in one stick in my arm, even though I normally hear the excuse of deep, rolling and tiny veins, when they are pricking 2-3 times in my hand! This has been my best experience at a doctor's office in a long time!
