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.

Late. Coercive. Not Well Rounded.
Uses only coercive vaccination to build immunization. Conversations about vaccines are not empowering. Vaccine discussions are avoided until the DAY OF & Nutrition and building strong immune systems are never a discussion. Intake nutrition questions & ALL reference materials are out of date & biased. Manufacturer inserts for all inventory vaccines are not provided or discussed. When asked to order a specific vaccine (and offering to pay OOP) after doing hours of research reading vaccine inserts on the FDA website, we were told NO. We were told that they would be willing to work with us if we use what vaccines they have in their inventory only, otherwise I need to take all my children elsewhere (3 vaxxed & 1 infant) after 8 years of being patients. No informed consent & right to accept, delay, or decline. Recent mass email communications say they are declining all standard care to anyone unvaccinated. This does not honor the Hippocratic Oath or AAP. Always late. Great nurses though!

Best Pediatrician!
Our family absolutely loves Dr. Dewling. She is kind, compassionate, very educated, and she listens to all of questions and concerns. I have a toddler and a newborn, both in daycare, so with that comes lots of questions and lots of illnesses, and in every appointment we've had with her, she has been so thorough, asking questions and listening to my responses, she remembers everything from appointment to appointment, and she's viewed my children's healthcare at a comprehensive level -- not just looking at one glimpse of their health. I have always felt heard when I'm in her Patient Room, and I would trust her with anything when it comes to my kids!

Best Pediatrician and REALLY cares!!!
We’ve been with Dr. Dewling since both my kids were born. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and caring, and she takes the time to get to know your children. She always follows up and checks in on them. She takes her time during each appointment, and you never feel rushed, even though you know she has many more appointments. If you have any questions, she makes sure to answer them all. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Dewling! I’m so lucky my children are blessed with such an amazing pediatrician!!

We love Dr. Dewling and her staff. They are caring, professional, and knowledgeable. We never wait a long time even though the visits with the nurse and physician are thorough and they take time to answer questions and review important information.

Caring physician!
Dr. Dewling is very knowledgeable, always takes the time to ask important questions and speak to each of my daughters. She is pleasant and understanding, and easy to talk with. She explains all things thoroughly and is a great listener. So happy to have found her when moving to the area! Love that we are close to both the Cumming and Johns Creek offices for visits as needed.

So grateful for Dr. Dewling!
Dr. Dewling has been my daughter's pediatrician for 14 years. My girl was a mirco-preemie who came home after 5 months in the NICU. Dr. Dewling has been her doctor since she came home and has been wonderful. She answers questions, sympathizes, gives clear information, and is always on top of what my daughters other doctors reports are. The staff is wonderful. Always friendly and very patient. I couldn't recommend Dr. Dewling and Johns Creek Pediatrics more!

Amazing, Caring Physician
Dr. Dewling has been seeing my three children since they were all babies. They are now teenagers. She is extremely intelligent, but also has the most caring bed side manner. My kids all love her. I highly recommend Dr. Dewling.

Patient, Attentive, truly listens
My son has been having strange symptoms that we cant figure out the cause after 2 hospital visits and a visit with ENT. We are now working with Dr Dewling to get to the bottom of what's causing his illness. Dr Dewling took the time to really listen. She has ordered more lab testing and has referred us to 2 other specialists to cover all bases. She also made sure my teen son was a part of the conversations and fully understood so he could feel empowered in his making good health choices going forward. We felt listened to and not rushed. And we feel like we are finally on a track to figuring out the root cause of my son's symptoms. She has been our pediatrician since we moved here 6 yrs ago. My son is now 18 and she was able to 'grow and change' as needed to relate to my teen/adult son. Highly recommend.

Goes above and beyond!
Dr. Dewling has been our pediatrician for the past 9 years since my daughter was a baby. We're so thankful to have her as our doctor! My daughter enjoys seeing dr. Dewling (fortunately we aren't there too often). During the last visit we had with her this summer she spent extra time with us talking about a recent issue my daughter had and also signing the school forms we needed.
