Getachew Iyasu, MD

Physician of the Month

Dr. Getachew Iyasu is a provider with Northeast Georgia Physicians Group specializing in Hospital Medicine. He earned his medical degree from Addis Ababa University and completed a residency in Internal Medicine at Atlanta Medical Center.

Dr. Iyasu is a dependable physician – always there for patients and staff. He doesn’t work easy shifts, but always completes them with a smile, and even takes on extra work when needed. He works well and is patient in teaching resident physicians. In stressful and unexpected situations Dr. Iyasu comes through – like when pipes burst during the holidays and patients had to be moved. He jumped into quick action and kept every patient safe. He’s a true example for all of those around him.


Samantha Wilson, PA

Samantha goes above and beyond for her patients and coworkers. She’s always willing to lend a helping hand, no matter what is needed. When patients leave their appointment with her, they always feel empowered, motivated and ready to put into place any changes she discussed. She always has a smile on her face and is dedicated to her work. Even on her days off she answers questions and is available as needed. And in her spare time, she somehow finds a way to bake goodies and bring them in to staff.
