      I could write three pages and still not complete all I want to say about how incredibly awesome Dr. Hastings is. Empathetic, easy to understand, compassionate, knowledgeable.the positive adjectives go on and on. A true gem for NGHS.

      I saw them for an issue that found out to be minimal, however they recognized I had a larger issue that needed immediate attention - I feel like this was above & beyond & helped facilitate a cardiologist visit that day. Could have saved my life!

      What was surprising is that Dr. Hastings didn't just jump to the first option for treatment but instead is consulting with others to see if a less invasive procedure can accomplish the same goal. This isn't usually what happens. I have been very pleased with the timeliness of appointments and the care that has been shown not just by Dr. Hastings but all of the physicians I have seen so far. Having cancer is scary enough without having physicians who are insensitive or 'in a hurry' to cure it. This is not the case with Northeast Georgia Physicians Group. I would recommend them to anyone who needs treatment.
