With access to your health history and an understanding of your individual needs, your doctor can give you advice over the phone to guide your next steps.

Urgent care facilities are a more convenient and cost-effective alternative to the emergency department.

If I could rate zero stars I would. That is the sorriest place to see a Dr. They never tell you anything when you call and ask a serious question about medicine. They always say sorry but they never change. They never help you and always give the sorriest excuse saying oh we can't answer any questions. If you need to know something look it up or go to our website and look at your chart. Some people don't have internet.. My poor grandmother never gets the right help she needs and she never sees the right Dr. They only care about the patients with money.

I’ve been seeing Dr Kent for over 13 years. Even through the transition period of opening her own office. She has always treated me with the best care. My family uses her as well. 3 1/2 years ago my mother was in rehab at the nursing home and she had a massive stroke 2 weeks later and was transferred to Piedmont Atlanta. The next day in the room with her I had a heart attack. After numerous tests it was proved she was paralyzed on one side and had massive brain damage. Per her living will she had no quality of of life, a week later she was sent back to nursing home with hospice. They were just

After using Dr. Alana Kent for years I left from my normal appt. today and within 10 minutes received a call from her office manager, Lee, who was upset that I asked the physician to notice when she looked in my ears (which they do at every appointment anyway) if she saw anything that might be causing balance issues. There was no issue but he said if there had been it could have taken them more than the 15 minutes they had allotted for me. Wow! Was I taken back after years of paying them, years of waiting in there waiting room for sometimes up to a hour, showing up twice for bloodwork they scheduled

I have been seeing Dr. Kent since 2005 and followed her when she started her own practice at Lifetime Medical Center. Dr. Kent is energetic and compassionate. She she takes time with her patients, is a good listener and very thorough. I've truly appreciated having a doctor that I can trust with my mental/physical health and any questions I might have.
I recently have been seeing more of the Nurse Practitioner, David Patton, because I have had to make several last minute appointments and Dr. Kent was booked. He is an excellent caregiver as well. He is compassionate, listens and is very thorough

I am a longtime patient of Lifetime. I have always found Dr Kent and her associates, past and present, very caring and professional. I will not write my health conditions as most probably wouldn’t believe them anyway and they are personal. But they have stood by me over and above ANY other Dr or health institution ever has. I’ve been using them since 2013 after I returned home from another state after a 2 year job contract. I used Dr Kent before that. She was recommended to me by an extremely well thought of orthopedic surgeon that treated me after a motorcycle accident that almost took my

Dr Kent,
Thank you so much for your pro-active approach to combat this Virus.
Recovery was so fast because of your commitment to your patients and the Therapeutic proactive approach which is the correct way to bringing this virus to a successful conclusion. I just wish Hospital ER’s would prescribe a therapeutic rather than sending them home only for them to come back when it’s too late.
We are Blessed to have you to care for us.
God Bless you and your wonderful staff.
