I am very impressed that Northeast Georgia Physicians Group has a surgeon of Dr. Lewis's abilities and experience. His staff was a pleasure to work with. It's clear to me that they have a culture within that work group that works quite well. The working relationships between staff members seem to be quite beneficial for them and the patients. Based on my experience, this indicates the persons who are in charge of the this particular surgical group take their leadership roles seriously.
