Feb 18, 2025
I did a review that was wrong from the get. It was all a misunderstanding. And I regret it. Dr Will-man Chaffin 111 is the best Rheumatologist in the state of Georgia. If you see a not so good review from Don Prater ignore it . I love Dr Chaffin111 and I am proud to say he will always be my Doctor..feb 17 2025.
