Demarco Thomas J, MD

Great staff. He’s been my doctor for about a year now. He takes his time to answer any questions and calls me back pretty fast if I call with a question about my medication. The women at the front desk are very friendly also.

DeMarco has been my family’s doctor for 10+ years. Located off of South Cobb Drive in Smyrna, in the Emory-​Adventist Hospital (used to be Smyrna General Hospital) office building, Dr. Demarco’s office is on the 2^nd floor in Suite 206. There are elevators available and plenty of parking in the open lot directly outside the building.
DeMarco’s assistant Shante is available by phone to make appointments or to get medication refills prescriptions. Upon arrival for your appointment, expect to wait 20 – 30 minutes. I always bring a book to read since most magazines in the waiting room are months old.
The sign in sheet is available at the sign-​in window which is built with sliding glass panes that are always kept closed and are tinted to be non-​see through. How the staff know when a patient has arrived is anyone’s guess. There is no bell or ringer to press and patients are warned not to tap on the non-​see through glass. (for fear it will shatter? Or because the staff doesn’t want to be disturbed?)
Once you sign in and the staff acknowledge you, your records will be checked and any co-​pay or changes in insurance will be taken/​noted. After that you are in for the long haul, waiting until they call you.
Once you are in the patient room, all goes smoothly and quickly. DeMarco comes in within 2 minutes of being in the room, carrying his laptop portable, digital medical records. Then the once-​over check begins. After the initial baseline has been established, the more pressing matters (the reason why you are there) are addressed. Listening carefully, DeMarco addresses all concerns and gives his opinions as to how to remedy the illness. After this brief discussion, the visit is concluded satisfactorily and you are released!
As a generalist, I can recommend Dr. DeMarco, but for anything serious or specialized you would be better off seeing the ER or a doctor who specializes in that specified medical area. But that is the definition of General Medicine, right?
