Our Story: A Legacy of Compassionate Care
Our clinic was founded on a deep commitment to serving the Douglasville community with compassionate, patient-centered care. Dr. Mariam George, a dedicated physician, mother, and wife, established the practice after completing her residency in Family Medicine at Augusta Medical Center. For nearly 30 years, she tirelessly cared for her patients, building a reputation for kindness, expertise, and unwavering dedication.
Dr. Mariam George’s passion for healing extended beyond medicine—she was an active member of her church, a loving presence in her community, and a woman who found joy in gardening, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. Her warmth and generosity left a lasting impact on those she served.
In 2015, her son, Dr. Binu George, took over the practice, continuing her legacy of excellence in patient care. To this day, patients share heartfelt memories of Dr. Mariam George, a testament to the deep connections she formed.
At our clinic, we honor her spirit by upholding the same values of compassion, integrity, and dedication that she embodied. We are grateful to serve you and your family, just as she did—with care that feels like home.
