Nicholas Talley, DO, is trading the deserts of Arizona for the Georgia mountains. And while the scenery may be different, his goal remains the same – deliver thoughtful, relationship-based care to the people in his community.
“I’ve always believed that great healthcare starts with great relationships,” Dr. Talley said. “And that’s especially true in a town like Toccoa, where people truly care for one another. I’m grateful to now be a part of that.”
Dr. Talley graduated from Midwestern University’s Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine in Glendale, Arizona, and completed his internal medicine residency at Mountain Vista Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona. Now, he’s joining Northeast Georgia Physicians Group (NGPG) Toccoa Clinic Internal Medicine, bringing him closer to the Cherokee County community where he and his wife were raised – and where both of their families still live.
“There’s something really special about being able to care for people who remind you of your own family and neighbors,” Dr. Talley said. “I grew up in a close-knit community, and I feel that same thing here in Toccoa.”
Dr. Talley earned his undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Kennesaw State University and went on to complete his master’s in biomedical science at Midwestern University.
Outside of work, Dr. Talley enjoys working out, is an avid runner and takes part in Spartan-style obstacle races. In their free time, he and his wife like hiking and exploring nearby lakes and waterfalls with their son and daughter. They also like to try out local craft beer at breweries.
NGPG Toccoa Clinic Internal Medicine is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office is located at 58 Big A Road. Call 706-886-6819 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Talley or visit ngpg.org/talley to learn more.
