Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly Experienced with Excellent Bedside Manner
I am fortunate to have found Dr. Wachsmuth after consulting with other breast specialists. I have been very impressed with her deep expertise along with her careful and sound approach. Her bedside manner put me at ease, as she is very warm and caring, understanding of concerns, and carefully explains all issues and concerns in full. She is an excellent doctor.

Right place for me
From the first visit to GA Breast Care, I felt like I was in a professional environment. The staff is always friendly and observant - answering questions before I have a chance to ask. Dr. Wachsmuth is a very straight forward doctor and an excellent surgeon. I have been diagnosed with an invasive ductal carcinoma at the cellular level and I feel like this group of professionals will be the difference between overcoming the cancer and floundering. After having visited another breast specializing office, I feel like this is the place everyone should go to when they are dealing with breast cancer. Thank you to everyone for your help! Good luck to everyone who finds they need this group of doctors!

I was threatened with a missed appointment fee because I forgot my mask and they would not be provide one. They wanted me to leave and go to a nearby pharmacy and come back. I wanted to reschedule. The doctor called me later in the day amd said they do not provide masks and told me I needed to find another doctor.

She is a very nice and kind lady. She puts all her concern about. She wants you to feel all question and concerns are answered before you leave her office. Also her assistant Christy is a very nice lady as well. They are there for you and they make sure everything is checked 2 or 3 times for your peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

My wife has had 2 surgeries with Doctor Wachsmuth and both times when we arrived at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning - the procedures were not scheduled properly and we had to remind them about what was supposed to be done. Bedside manner is poor and level of professionalism is very poor. We are switching to a new practice.

The experience that I had with Dr. Wachsmuth and her staff was the best that I think I have ever experienced with a doctor's office. Everyone was so nice. The information given to me was very thorough and all the staff that I encounter took their time with me. I did not feel as though my appointment was rushed at all! I would highly recommend this practice.

I rarely write reviews on anything, but I feel that everyone should know that Dr. Wachsmuth and all of her staff at Georgia Breast Care did an excellent job with prompt attention, good communication and great service. I work in the healthcare industry, this office has exemplary standards.

I was there exactly 8 minutes late for an 8:30 appt, and they refused to do my tumor biopsy. I explained that I had simply passed the exit and it put me back, and they denied service. I even offered to sit in the waiting room all day until another patient blew their appointment and they said no. This is after I waited 45 mins for them to examine my chest days prior, and determined that my tumor is "of concern." Now I have to sit in my nervousness until I find another doctor.
