If you are new to the area, below is a summary of Buckhead.

Buckhead is a substantially wealthy northern district of Atlanta located in Fulton County, Georgia. Since the 1950’s, this region has been considered an area of extraordinary wealth. Current use of the term “Buckhead” defines the district as the “V” area between Interstate 85 and Interstate 75. Primarily a commercial and financial center, much of central Buckhead is comprised of high-rise developments—condominiums, office buildings and hotels. The district’s residential neighborhoods, which can be found throughout heavily wooded forests and hills, surround its urban center. Those who enjoy the urban feel of living in a dense city can find themselves at home in Buckhead.

Residents and visitors in Buckhead enjoy the urban district’s large shopping centers, Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza. These premier, upscale shopping centers are prime destinations for those who want to experience the exciting shopping, dining and entertainment Buckhead has to offer. As of 2014, Buckhead became the home to many more exclusive high-end boutiques, restaurants, condos and offices with the completion of Buckhead Atlanta, a 6 city block project spearheaded by Oliver McMillan Inc, a national boutique real estate firm. The district also hosts many community events and festivals open for everyone.

Much of Buckhead’s economy is largely dependent on its popular shopping, dining and entertainment centers. As a result, many residents have found work positions in fields such as retail and sales. Many other residents find employment in the business district of Buckhead and Atlanta. The district is home to many large and international companies. Commuting workers can take advantage of the relatively short commute time, given that the traffic is cooperative.

The district of Buckhead and its bordering areas in metro Atlanta have medical offices that cater to the needs of the family including family health and women’s health. Buckhead has some extraordinary women’s health clinics and is near Alpharetta’s renowned health care facilities. As such, women in this area are provided with a large variety of choices in this matter. A few of the clinics in Buckhead are Atlanta Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates and Ideal Gynecology, LLC. Buckhead is also home to a few quality pediatric clinics that are devoted to providing exemplary care. While these clinics operate through an 8 am to 5 pm hour workday, Omega Pediatrics operates with the modern, busy family in mind. Our office is open from 11 am to 9 pm on weekdays, and we offer telemedicine access for convenience.

The residents of Buckhead have some urgent care facilities available for them. A few of these clinics are Piedmont Urgent Care by WellStreet – North and South clinics, Perimeter Clinic, and Urgent Care at Peachtree. However they may not provide the continuity of care that is needed in the health of every child today. That is why we serve these families.

Atlanta Public Schools provides the area of Buckhead and its residents with a variety of accredited schools. The North Atlanta Cluster of Atlanta Public Schools, in which Buckhead is located, contains 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school and 1 high school. A large number of private schools also call the Buckhead district home; these include the Atlanta International School, The Galloway School, and The Westminster Schools. These academies are well known for their particular attention to their students and have had several notable alumni walk their halls.

Despite living near a sprawling urban city, residents of Buckhead have a variety of parks open for them at any time of the day. Two of the better-known parks in the area are Atlanta Memorial Park and the Chastain Memorial Park, home to the famous Chastain Amphitheater. While in Buckhead’s well-maintained parks, visitors are granted with many amenities, such as walking and running trails, playgrounds for children, and sports fields. Parts of Buckhead see the recent construction of PATH400, a 5.2-mile multi-use trail that will run along the Georgia 400 tollway and will connect parks, trails, schools and neighborhoods to central Buckhead. This impressive project will provide an alternate mode of transport for Buckhead’s residents when finished; it is expected to be completed in 2020.

The Buckhead district is a testament to Atlanta’s economic history and progress. With Lenox Square, one of the country’s first malls, which was created in 1959, and the modernist high-rises that overtake the skyline, Buckhead is a prime example of Georgia’s strong economic base. If you live in Buckhead, you will bask in the exciting feel of a sprawling urban city.

Omega Pediatrics Difference: At Omega Pediatrics in Roswell we understand the challenges that parents face when their children develop symptoms late in the day or after hours. Many pediatric offices rarely see patients after 4 pm however we are open every weekday up to 9 pm for both appointments and walk-ins. We also have telemedicine via evisits for our known patients. Our clinic is one of the easily accessible pediatric primary care clinics in Roswell and Alpharetta. We provide pediatric primary care to families in the North Fulton area and beyond, serving families that live in Milton, Sandy Springs, Johns Creek, Duluth, Cumming, Woodstock-Canton and beyond.

Immunizations and checkups after-hours: One advantage of switching to Omega Pediatrics for your child’s primary care is that you can bring your child in for immunization or annual checkup after regular business hours. We provide this service because we have passion for what we do and we want to be a comfortable and convenient service, not the ordinary pediatric doctor’s office.
