Community Information:

Now that you have a feel for who we are as a center, let me tell you about the area we serve and why Athens is such a wonderful place to live. You'll fall in love with it, and it has something for everyone! For individuals looking for a more suburb feel, Winterville GA is located in the same County as our clinics. Downtown Athens is the perfect scene if you prefer a more lively atmosphere. Athens is also conveniently located within 1.5 hours of the Atlanta airport, and is also only 1.5 hours from the North Georgia Mountains! We are an optimal location for traveling and hiking. Athens is known for its unique and historical music scene, and is the origin of the well-known B-52's and R.E.M. Our restaurant scene is diverse and delicious, and we can give you plenty of excellent recommendations! Lastly, with UGA being located near downtown Athens, Go Dawgs is embedded in our culture and daily lives. Athenians are always excited for a Saturday in Athens during football season - an experience that everyone should have at least once. If you love nature, we are home to the stunning State Botanical Garden of Georgia, offering a free area for miles of walking trails and a gorgeous array of flowers and greenery. It's a must-see and where many Athenians visit weekly.
