Patient Reviews
Jan 02, 2019
Dr. Best is just as his name suggests, The Best. I saw him for difficult varicose veins that had been treated prior by another MD with little success. Dr. Best is kind, never seems rushed, and I feel totally confident with his decisions. My only complaint is the Emory system and the long wait times, and the presence of residents during some exams and procedures. It was very difficult to schedule an appointment with Dr. Best, even though I was a prior patient.
