Dr. Olga Uribe, MD

I had read that Dr. Uribe was slow at seeing patients. I waited 45 minutes past my appointment time, but was thrilled when she took so much time with me. She did not rush me and asked very thorough questions. I am 67 and have never had a doctor spend so much time trying to discover the cause of my issue. I highly recommend this excellent doctor, but know that you may have to wait.

My 1st visit I sat in the waiting room for over 2 hours after my appointment. Then when they called me to go back I wanted another hour in the room for her to finally show up. I was a new patient and definitely not happy with the long wait. I make my next annual appointment when I leave. Well today WAS my annual…I say was since I didn’t get to see her. I owed a balance of $2.14 from last year. After I paid it then I was told oh she’s not her. She’s in the hospital. Meanwhile I was 15 minutes early and I was the very 1st appointment. So if you don’t mind her not showing up or leaving you waiting several hours then go to her. Thanks for wasting my time driving 45 minutes each way.

Dr. Uribe takes the time to review your health history. She listens to what you are telling her and is very thorough in her examination procedures. I highly recommend her.

I'm not sure about this so I'll just describe what happened.... I arrived to my appt early for paperwork, then waited more than 30" to be taken back. then waited 1.5 hours in a cold room only to be told that the dr needs to leave to deliver a baby. What I felt was that it was rude to make a pt wait 2 hrs only to cancel the appt. It is rude to do this to people and shows there is no respect for people's time. But, is this the norm here? I came from an HMO where this never happened because there were many Dr's to cover eachother, so maybe this is normal, I don't know. Then to reschedule I had to wait more than 2 months out? I'll be talking to the MD that referred me to Dr. Uribe and asking if this is considered the norm here. If it is, I am not happy about it and will probably find my own Dr.

Unfortunately couldn't even see the doctor as her staff was incredibly rude. I called to make an appointment and they wouldn't even bother scheduling one before they received all my medical records. The woman on the phone treated us like we were burden for calling to schedule an appointment and like I said flat out refused to schedule one. I've heard great things about the doctor so it's a shame that her staff is literally turning people away.

Took my daughter recently to see Dr. Uribe and she was excellent with her. She took the time to actually talk to her as a person without all the doctor language. I would highly recommend her. She took the time needed to answer our questions and she never made us feel that we weren't important and she reassured us that our questions were valid ones. She's a rare gem for Athens to have such a dedicated doctor who doesn't stop until she gets the answers she needs and she never came across cold and like we were wasting her time.

love her to death she is great i will not see anyone else but her she the best.

She delivered our first son, we was very impressed with her and the team at Athens Starr medical. Thank you. We will be back!

Patient BEWARE I wouldn’t send anyone to her ever! I came to her with fertility issues and she made rude remarks and left as quick as she came in. Extremely rude, zero help, no labs, no plans, zilch. Do yourself a favor and if you want a doctor to care go anywhere else. . She has zero bedside manner and was completely wrong in her diagnosis and led me to believe it was impossible to have my fertility. My problem was later easily fixed by a different doctor who actually did their job and cared!

She makes you feel comfortable, and she is quite humorous.
