Common complaints

Allegations of racial bias in treatment, denial of care, and downplaying medical conditions for patients with sickle cell anemia at local hospitals in Athens, including Piedmont.

"Dr Golembiewski is one of the best medical doctors I have seen in my 50 years of life! His demeanor and bed-side manner is calm, positive, thorough, attentive, flexible, and personal."

— Vitals (Dr. Geoffrey Golembiewski)

"Dr. Ahmed and his staff have always been very friendly to me and his staff has gone above and beyond the call of duty... He will spend as much time with you as you need to discuss your health."

— Vitals (Dr. Emad Ahmed)

"These women report troubling experiences at local hospitals in Athens, Georgia, alleging that a doctor has denied them essential treatment, downplayed the seriousness of their condition, and wrongfully implied that they are seeking drugs rather than medical care."

— Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement
