I have been working with North Georgia Endocrinology for over a year now, and I am eternally grateful for them. They were the ones to diagnose my Hashimoto’s Disease and get me started on medication to kick my thyroid back in motion. I truly do not believe I would still be here without this business.
Carolyn Lawson, NP is very conscientious provider whom gives exceptional care to me. She demonstrates unwavering dedication with every interaction we've had. I have so much gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable care that she has provided me with!Sherry Smith
Dr. Lawson is everything you'd want in a doctor when you don't understand your diagnosis. She answered all of the questions I had and made me feel like she cared and that I was in good hands and NOTHING beats that! I feel blessed knowing she is going to see me through this.
The location is further away but my NP relocated there, after the current location closed. It's a longer drive but totally worth it. They have a great staff too 🤗
I am so beyond thankful to have found this practice!!!! Both Dr. Ahmad and NP Carolyn have been so welcoming and informative for me! They take their time make sure to explain everything going on and listen… I mean actually listen to what is going on with my body and symptoms!!! I live almost 2 hours away and will Gladly drive every time I need to just to see these amazing physicians (even though they have been gracious enough to let me do telehealth to help ❤️) I highly highly recommend you to go see these amazing ladies!!! I am on the road to get feeling better and have actual help to get me where I need to be!
North Georgia Endocrinology is a 5 out of 5 star practice. From Dr. Ahmad to the P.A.s, nurses, assistants and the front desk staff, you will find everyone to be knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, to go out of their way to be helpful, and to be respectful of your time. If you are seeking an Endocrinologist, this is the practice you need! You will be writing a review just like this one, soon! There is a reason she is so highly rated. She's brilliant, kind, compassionate and the entire practice is a reflection of those values. I'm so grateful to have found this doctor!
The provider showed care and concern for my medical condition.She listen carefully to me about my medical condition . She provided me with information to help me to stay on top of my glucose level.
Hey I have gone to the Publix pharmacy 3 times. They say they never received a prescription for the alternate (insulin) I apologize for not knowing the brand name. I paid a $10 administrative fee to your office to help expedite the prescription.Can you please call them with the prescription? ThanksGino Warner
I have found this practice to be a great place. Great staff and our PA, Carolyn Lawson has been great to work with.
This is a great practice! I love Dr. Ahmad and I love Carolyn. They take time to listen and are genuinely concerned about their patients. The staff is always so friendly and gracious. The fact that the bloodwork is right in the office is so easy! Highly recommend!
Always so professional, responsive and understanding. I’ve been going here for years.
I love virtual visits. They are so convent and the PAs are so through and know what they are doing.
As an RN and a patient, I can say this is one of the best endocrinology practices I've used. All of the NPs are exceptional. I sent my adult Type I DM son to them and FINALLY, he is getting the care he needs! They know how to navigate the insurance company barriers and the care they offer is the most innovative. They moved offices and are a little far for us but we will drive the extra mileage for such great care.
Dr Anbar Ahmed and Carolyn are not just providers they know what they are doing.Very compassionate the whole staff not just the providers.They are GOD to me for saving my husbands life.And still they are on it.Great example of humanity!!I wish there were 10 or 100 stars i would give them that as well.
Staff were very friendly and responsive to questions. I have never experienced long wait times and have always been treated with respect. Medical diagnosis and counseling are articulated with care and patience which insures confidence and trust.
Staff always friendly and professional. I especially love that I get to see Amy at my scheduled time and there is no sitting around the waiting room.
Love the new office! They are on point with time!! Front desk stuff is so sweet & welcoming! Phlebotomist is great and makes sure to really take care of you, and my new provider, Eileen Borkovich is the bomb!!! 😎 She doesn’t make you wait long, addresses all issues in depth, but efficiently and really listens to you; Very pleasant and has a great energy! Thank you 🙏 for a smooth visit!
Doctor Ahmad is an excellent doctor and I was her patient for several years. Recently she started to charge extra to be on her patient list.I guess a lot of doctors do that.This is like a membership and It’s expensive! I can’t afford that so I went to one of her assistant PA . It’s not the same! They are all kind but they are not Doctors. They didn’t go through the same curriculum or years and years of schools like doctors do. Office charges me and my insurance like I saw a doctor but I didn’t . I don’t think this is ok.
Dr. Ahmed is a brilliant doctor. She listens and takes time to explain everything. She is by far my favorite doctor! Highly recommend!
This place changed my life. I spent years without a diagnosis — struggling to lose weight, dealing with joint pain, brain fog, fatigue, etc. Though I knew something was wrong, most doctors refused to listen to me. Dr. Ahmad literally changed my life. When I first met her, she diagnosed my condition right away and prescribed the medicine I needed. I have since lost over 100 pounds, and I now know exactly what my hormonal issue was.She is also a wonderful, kind, caring, and understanding doctor. As someone with metabolic issues, it’s easy to be hard on myself, but she reminds me that I’m doing the best I can, and that I have made wonderful progress. If you need help and are looking for answers and encouragement, please reach out to North Georgia Endocrinology. It was the best decision I ever made!
Dr. Ahmad is extremely caring, knowledgeable, and wants to make her patients feel better.
Dr Ahmad, is incredibly caring and methodical, she listens, and strategizes quickly the best treatment plan, to improve you health and everyday life!!, She is simply amazing!!! The staff is as detailed , caring and responsive, easily one of the best Healthcare experience I have ever had!!
Short of it: please do not go to this practice if you have pcosEdit: Dr. Ahmad contacted me to rectify my experience with Carolyn and did a fantastic job of correcting the issues I faced in the below review.Long of it:I went to this practice about 18 months ago. I was scheduled with Carolyn the PA. I went in with the symptoms of migraines, joint pain, increase in weight gain with no lifestyle changes, fatigue and a few other concerns. The office was beautiful and the front office staff and billing staff were very polite and easy to deal with. Upon discussing my concerns with Carolyn I became emotional (not realizing how worried about my health I had become, this was a surprise to me). She did not offer a tissue or a word of sympathy or encouragement but just sat in silence. Ok, that’s fine. Even the best Drs don’t always have good bed side manner so I dried my tears and moved on. The appointment was very brief and she was hyper focused on my sudden weight gain. I was not concerned bc she ordered a full battery of blood work so I felt confident we would find the root issue of all my symptoms. She did however assure me that she did not think of was pcos. When she walked me out I got my second red flag (the first was her lack of bedside manner), she promptly handed me two pamphlets about injection weight loss meds. I am totally for weight loss meds if that’s a patients choice, however we had no idea what the cause of any of my symptoms were AND I did not meet a single criteria for the weight loss meds as stated ON THE DRUG COMPANIES WEBSITE. Please understand how dangerous that can be. If a drug company is not saying I am a good candidate for a drug then why would a PA suggest it BEFORE labs we even back?? I was very confused but just left the pamphlets in the waiting room and moved on. Shortly after getting my labs back Carolyn messaged me on the patient portal saying I did have borderline PCOS results. I asked what the treatment plan would be for the going forward, expecting something…anything really, to aid all my symptoms. She told me to count calories and do intermittent fasting. Again the focus on my weight gain and ignoring all other symptoms. I had tried both in the previous year but decided that she was the professional so I would give it another try. I followed her advice to a T. I saw zero results in my symptoms including the one she was so focused on, my weight. I lost 2 pounds over 3 months, I was exhausted from not eating for most of the day (she recommended eating from 12-6pm) and irritable. All of my symptoms got worse. After having lunch with a friend in May of 23 she mentioned a mutual friend had started taking Ovasitol for her pcos and was feeling better. I decided to give it a shot since it was SO much cheaper than a follow up appointment (which honestly I was discouraged to make anyway given that most of my symptoms were ignored). Within 3 months I saw huge improvements in my fatigue, joint pain, swelling, AND my anxiety which I hadn’t even realized had increased and almost completely went away. I decided to start doing my own pcos research. I have read scholarly, peer reviewed articles and listened to talks given by other endocrinologist and I can say with complete confidence that this office dropped the ball with me. I have learned that pcos causes weight gain through insulin resistance (which was not explained to me and is still not even mentioned on the office website under their pcos blurb) and that it absolutely can be treated if approached as such. I added in fiber before meals, broke my cardio up into 10-15 minutes after each meal instead of 30-45 mins a day in one session. Meals, exercise, stressors, have all remained the same over the last year. I started in May of 24 and I am myself again. And guess what, I lost 16lbs. Please if you have PCOS find a better provider and believe yourself over anyone.
North GA Endo is a fantastic endocrinology clinic. The office is extremely clean, and the staff are very kind and polite. The PA's are just as knowledgeable as Dr Ahmad and train under her, so you can be assured you're getting top notch advice and care. They also know of and use other pharmaceuticals / products that I haven't seen at other doctors offices. For example, I learned of an FDA approved Testosterone injectable that is better than what I was taking before. They're super thorough and do not rush my appointments.
I love Dr Ahmad! She takes her time and is very thorough in her assessment and management. The staff were all kind and helpful and the new office is beautiful.
Dr. Ahmad is an excellent physician. Extremely knowledgeable and a thorough communicator.
Dr Ahmad is an amazing Dr, she's so kind and caring too. She explains things in clear detail and I never feel rushed. The new location is nicer and bigger than the old office and while it's a further drive for me, Dr Ahmad is worth the drive.
This practice is the very best!! They actually listen to you and have a sincere desire to help you. So happy I found this practice, it’s been life changing. Highly recommend for women going through menopause and related issues!
"Today's visit was exceptional, just like every other time I've been here. I have immense love for Dr. Ahmad and her staff. Everyone was incredibly nice and friendly, making me feel warmly welcomed. A big thank you to the entire team for treating me with such personal care and respect, making me feel valued as a person, not just another number. Your kindness and professionalism do not go unnoticed. Highly recommended!"
I do not think I would be holding my little baby girl if it weren’t for Dr Ahmad and her team, including Amy. After the nightmare of recurrent miscarriage I discovered I had subclinical hypothyroidism. My primary dr was dismissive about this, but Dr. Ahmad saw the clinical significance. With my TSH controlled to the “ideal range” I got a positive test 7 months after my last MC and had a healthy pregnancy. I wasn’t the easiest patient to deal with and appreciate their patience along the way. There is alot of information on the web about how to best treat this, and along the way I got a 2nd opinion from a functional medicine dr who recommended a completely different plan of care. After careful consideration I continued working with this office and I am so glad I did. I will eternally be grateful to Dr Ahmad for helping me bring my little girl earthside. If you are looking for an office that will closely follow you during pregnancy I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Always an excellent experience. All staff are kind and make you feel very welcome. Dr Ahmad has a rare approach that is equally understanding, validating, and professional. She wants you to understand what’s going on with your health and provides helpful feedback and education at each appointment. I never feel rushed or dismissed as I have with other doctors. I drive an hour to this practice and it’s worth the time. Definitely recommend!
Every time I come to see Dr. Ahmad for an appointment I am, without exception, treated with the utmost courtesy and friendliness by everyone with whom I come in contact! Just the fact that there is a patient survey process demonstrates a genuine desire by the practice to give their patients the best possible experience. I am very fortunate to have Dr. Ahmad as one of my health practitioners.
I was grateful for the quality of care that I received at this office.I felt informed, reassured & my anxiety was at 0% by the time I left the office!All my questions were answered clearly & concisely!Timely Follow up with timely Lab results are outstanding!Thanks Amy
Loved Dr Ahmad and her team. I was afraid about starting with a new Endocrinologyst in a new country but she exceeded my expectations
Dec 2023: I highly recommend Dr Ahmad. She is outstanding. Honest, Helpful, Efficient. I 100% trust her with me and my family. She has made a great impact upon my health.Sept 2023: This continues to be a great office with great service and individualized care. My whole family now sees Dr. Ahmad and she has had a positive impact on our health. Today, I saw NP Amy. Efficient without rushing. I highly recommend this office to anyone needing skilled endocrinology!
Love coming here and completely trust everyone who I’ve had so far, natural and beautiful results. They are all very professional and experienced. They all have a keen eye for detail and always do a fantastic job listening to me to achieve the results I'm looking for. I have come here a couple of times and will continue to be a loyal customer. They do an excellent job with natural results on lip filler as well as cheek filler. Here is a picture a week after my last visit.
I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Dr. Ahmad and the entire team at North Georgia Endocrinology. From the moment I walked in, their professionalism and genuine care were evident. Dr. Ahmad’s thoroughness in addressing my concerns and explaining my treatment plan left me feeling confident and well-informed. Dr. Ahmad has provided me with invaluable guidance and support on my weight loss journey. The practice’s efficiency and friendly atmosphere make each visit a positive one. I’m grateful to have found such a dedicated endocrinologist and would recommend Dr. Ahmad and this practice without hesitation.
I’m going to make this short and sweet. I’ve been to endocrinologists all over the Lawrenceville and surrounding cities and none of them compare to this office. This is the only office that consistently make changes in what I need to get my A1C down. When I first went there I was at a 14 and got as low as a 9 so far. I live about an hour away but I gladly travel that way because I know I end up in the hands of Doctors who care about my life. Extra bonus, the staff is SUPER awesome as well. From front door to the back door!
If I could give this practice more than 5 stars- I would! Dr. Ahmad is wonderful- extremely thorough and compassionate which is hard to find these days. She spends time with you as if you’re her only patient. I am very grateful for the care her and her team have given me. I highly recommend her to anyone!!
Dr. Ahmad has changed my life. I went to see her a little over a year ago. I had always felt sick and yucky, had put on 37 pounds, but could never pinpoint exactly how I felt. Dr. Ahmad did a lot of tests, always pays particular attention to everything you say, and comes up with a solution immediately. Fast forward to the present, and I have lost all 37 lbs, am no longer pre-diabetic and haven't felt this good in forever. I am forever grateful to Dr. Anbar for giving me my life back.
Dr Ahmad is the best! Truly attentive to my situation, always has a clear plan for my needs, extremely professional!The clinic is beautiful, staff is amazing! Highly recommended!
Dr Anbar is a very good and kind Doctor. She is so encouraging and appreciative which motivates me to get better when it comes to managing my diabetes and overall health in a very short time. She is compassionate, super kind and listens. I will recommend her to anyone who is wanting to be healthy and manage your health in any stress. The staff are also super friendly. Thankyou Dr Anbar for always being so patient and moving me in the right positive direction and nothing can be wrong at this practice.
My wife has been seeing Dr. Ahmad and our experience has been wonderful. She diagnosed my wife with a unique version of an endocrine disease that was missed by our primary care physician. Dr. Ahmad was thorough in her examination and workup of my wife's symptoms. After further diagnosing my wife's condition, she explained the condition and the short, intermediate, and long term prognosis of the condition and how it would affect our life going forward. She was gentle and compassionate in her delivery of medical information. Since the diagnosis, she has monitored my wife very closely with appropriate follow ups (in person visits and virtual visits when her schedule is full). If you are willing to participate in your own healthcare and are looking for a highly trained healthcare provider to treat your endocrine disease, Dr. Ahmad is the doctor you need to see. We drive 1 hour to see her due to the level of care she provides and we highly recommend her and her team.
I have been seeing Dr. Ahmad for several years after going through a couple other Endo’s that were not up to par, if you know what I mean. Dr. Ahmad is not only a great doctor but she truly cares! She’s compassionate, super kind and listens to her patients. I have referred her to several friends/family members because I absolutely believe in her that much. She is one of those doctors that you’d drive hours to see if you needed to. The PA is super awesome too. You really can’t go wrong with this practice!
I've been seing Dr. Ahmad for the past 3 and a half years on a very regular basis. My condition has hugely improved with her attention and expertise. Not very talkative, more a reserved professional, but efficient and straight to the point. Staff is good and the premises are still nice and perfurmed. I can't recommend Dr. Ahmad enough.
Everyone at this practice is professional courteous, and excellent at their role.Dr Ahmad has guided me through a major life change with a weightloss of 90 pounds. (over 30% of my body weight )She is patient, listens, advises and works with you to diagnose your issue and get you healthy.Also a shout out to the Phlebotomist who is the best at what she does. I never feel the needle going in and she always finds the vein on the first attempt. That says a lot with my hidden veins.I highly recommend this Dr Ahmad and everyone at this practice!
After having thyroid removal surgery, I needed to follow up with an endocrinologist to monitor my hormone levels and to get the proper thyroid hormone supplements prescribed. I could not get a timely appointment with the MD in the office, but was given a quick appointment with Carolyn Lawson, a nurse practitioner. Ms Lawson was extremely knowledgeable about my condition and was very professional, and could easily pass as an MD if someone didn't know she was a nurse practitioner. Highly recommended.
I recently visited this office and had the pleasure of meeting three staff members: Ben, Trinity and Carolyn.I was impressed by their professionalism and kindness throughout my visit.Ben was particularly compassionate and made me feel at ease.Trinity was very energetic and went above and beyond to assist me with any questions I had.Carolyn was an excellent listener and addressed all my concerns. She also suggested some helpful solutions that have improved my condition.Overall, my experience at the Endo office was exceptional, thanks to these three amazing individuals.I highly recommend this office to anyone in need of endocrine care.
Dr. Ahmad is the best doctor I have ever worked with. She has truly listened to me. She has not talked at me but talked to me to work with my concerns and help me make improvements to my health that have had a positive impact on my entire life. I never feel rushed and she is always encouraging. I have been looking for someone like her for 20 years. She is caring, compassionate, and a true advocate for me. I cannot say enough good things about her. I am truly thankful for Dr. Ahmad and refer her to others who are struggling and looking for someone to work with them to control and manage their health.
Dr. Ahmad has been extremely helpful for me over the last few months. She’s helping to get me on a path of feeling better and improving my quality of life. She’s so understanding of what I’m going through as well. It’s beyond refreshing to feel like you’re being heard by a healthcare provider. Very glad I found her! Also the entire staff is amazing and so friendly.
Dr. Ahmad is amazing with excellent patient care instincts. She diagnosed my serious illness which was missed by other physicians for years. She is extremely skilled and cares about the well being of her patients. So glad I found her. Her staff members are always pleasant and helpful.
I am extremely happy with my visit to Dr Ahmad’s office. She was very professional, caring and knowledgeable. I felt listened to and did not feel rushed. She is the best doctor I have seen in a very long time. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!
I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Ahmad. I have seen several doctors in the past few years, and she was one of the few who genuinely cared. She is easy to relate to and very knowledgeable. Her team is also polite and the office is very clean.
Carolyn Lawson has been so great. I have been with her since my left thyroid has been removed. She’s very compassionate and listen to your concerns. She’s very prompt when you sent her a message and follow up if needed. The person who called me on 10/20 to check me in virtually was phenomenal, I didn’t get his name. He was very tentative, polite and helpful
Dr Ahmad is the best! She is so sweet & caring. She makes me want to do better the way she explains things. I am so happy to have her as a doctor. I will tell everyone to go to her & her staff is always so nice & helpful. I am very satisfied with this place
