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.

Great doctor

A high recommendation for Dr. Hu
Dr. Hu is knowledgeable, accomplished and focused. He has managed my pain for 13 years, providing Lumbar transforaminal epidural injections as needed. I’ve had pain relief for 4 to 5 years after these injections. He and his staff are excellent in their responsibilities, always courteous and helpful! Dr. Hu is one of a kind in his thoroughness and preparation for any procedure. He explains the plan treatment. I have seen a number of orthopedics in my life; Dr. Hu is one of the best!

Real & Sincere Help Available for those in Pain!
We live in a time where it is difficult to know whom we can trust and place our confidence, especially, when it comes to our health care. It seems that there is some sort of medical practice or clinic on just about every street corner but how do you know which one has the knowledge and ability to assist you with your pain & aliments, and which are committed to doing so?Over the years, the best way I have found to find a quality, trustworthy dentist, accountant, mechanic, attorney or doctor is by referral from a real client or patient that has had a like or similar problem, that can and will attest to the treatment and expertise they received, and of course most important … favorable results. Neighbors, over the years I have been treated by numerous doctors for the de-habilitating pains in my neck, shoulders, backs and hips, and I have endured both the cost and the pain to gain the knowledge that I now offer to you for free! There is no better nor caring doctor in Athens, G

He was abrupt. He kept interrupting me when I tried to talk to him. I felt like he was in a hurry to get rid of me. He in requesting an MRI before he considers an epidural. I agree with it but I can’t even get it until 2 weeks from now. I am in serious pain. I know Dr Hu has no control over the MRI schedule but I am also very frustrated about it.

Consultation
I was there for a consultation and scheduled to go for a steroid shot at a later date. Dr. Hu answered all my questions before I needed to ask. It’s so nice to have things explained plus he went over my MRI reports with pictures. His explanations were thorough making sure I understood my options. Although I am not looking forward to a shot, it will be my pleasure to see him again. Also, the ladies in the office were both professional and courteous. My first impression of this clinic is a solid 10

Dr. Hu is one of the best physicians in this group. He cares about his patients and stays up to date on treatment methods. As a patient, I am confident that any treatment I receive will be administered with care, professionalism, and with my medical health in the forefront. He is friendly, inrushes, and listens when you share your needs… a rarity in today’s fast paced world.
