WASHINGTON, February 20, 2017 – Childhood obesity is an increasing problem around the world, and a new study suggests genes may contribute to the problem.

I am new to the area and began looking for a primary care doctor. This doctor is the most amazing, heartfelt individual I have ever met. The dr gave so much time, attention and advice to my child. I love that the office is open later for working parents. This place is amazingly beautiful and perfectly decorated. It made my child feel so open and free to be himself. I love that you don't always have to make an appointment to be seen in the office. You can talk to the Dr more than one way!!!!!!!!!!!! He accepts all insurance types. He really really cares and always listens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention the gifts we received on our first visit. I am so happy I have chosen this Dr. all of my concerns have been addressed in 1 appointment. It's not about the money at this doctors office. It's his pure love and commitment to children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am from FLA and I didn't have a PCP for my daughter. She is 6 with autism. She was complaining about a sore throat. This doctor literally waited for me to drive from Covington, GA to Roswell, GA at like 7:30pm. When I got there, they were close to closing but he was patience and didn't rush at all. I would recommend this doctor to anyone, I mean if i trusted him with my only child, trust I'm no easy cookie and he was the ideal pediatrician. I live 49 miles away and i made him my daughter new PCP.

Dr. Nwaneri is one of the best Pediatricians I have met. From making appointment to attending to my son, it was a very pleasant experience. There is no long waiting time and the children love him. The way he treated my son stuck in my son's head that he's always talking about going to see Dr. Nwaneri.

Dr. Nwaneri is absolutely wonderful. The first time we saw him he was down on his knees giving my 18 month old a big hug setting everyone at ease immediately. He took the time not only to know his little patient but also the patient's parents and medical history. My son needed a vaccination and Dr. Nwaneri had a caring gentle touch the barely produced any tears. As if the services alone weren't enough for me to want to recommend him, his hours are a working mother's dream. Evening appointments have taken the stress out of going to the doctor!
