Piedmont Physicians Endocrinology

Dr. Imad El Kebbi is the best! He is polite, a good listener, compassionate, sincere in his work, I got back my health after taking his prescription. He pays attention to all my concerns, no airs and graces. And it is easy to reach him on phone or mychart portal. It was never so convenient before. I absolutely recommend this doctor.
They have very good staff, all of them are warm and friendly. Don’t have to wait much to get appointment, convenient portal to reach out to doctor.

So I’ve been seeing the same endocrinologist for about 4 years and have been generally unsatisfied the whole time. So I decided to seek out a new one.
After doing my research and getting some crap over the phone from my first choice, I decided to give Piedmont Endocrinology a try. I called and was greeted by a very friendly receptionist. She advised of a recent cancellation and could squeeze me in the following Friday — perfect! She told me I would be seeing Dr. El-​Kebbi.
I arrived 30 minutes prior to my scheduled appointment to complete all of the new patient paperwork. After I was done, friendly receptionist called me up to the window to advise me that Dr. El-​Kebbi was a few minutes behind schedule, but I was his next patient. She apologized for the delay and I went back to playing Jewel Mania. I’m usually super super anal about being on time. Maybe I’m just jaded now because I’m convinced that no doctor is ever on time, but I at least appreciated the fact that she took the time to tell me that he was running a little late. With previous doctors, most just let you sit there until you realize your appointment was supposed to be 45 minutes ago.
So 5 or 10 minutes later, I’m called back. I’m taken to an exam room by a super friendly guy who’s name escapes me. He also apologizes for the delay and emphasizes that Dr. El-​Kebbi really doesn’t like being late. We go over some basic info and he advises that the Doc will be in a moment.
Let me first say that my previous doctor was a bit standoffish. Nice enough, just didn’t seem overly personable or concerned. I experienced the complete opposite with Dr. El-​Kebbi. He was warm and friendly and very interested in my medical care. He provided valuable insights into certain aspects of my medical care that I feel were lacking with my previous doctor. I honestly felt like I was speaking with a friend the whole time. There was one awkward moment when he seemed to fail to understand how I could be so certain that I would not be getting pregnant, but we got through that. It’s quite funny in retrospect.
The whole appointment went exactly how I feel a doctor’s appointment should go. I’m almost (but not quite) willing to overlook the tardiness, but we’ll see how that goes in future visits. I highly highly recommend Dr. El-​Kebbi to anyone in the market for a new endocrinologist.
