The best doctor! He is very professional but yet makes a connection so my children feel very comfortable speaking to him. His wife is very friendly and does a great job at working you in schedule when you have an emergency. And Donna has the greatest patience when doing labs.

My family has been seeing Dr J for years and we love him and his wife!!!! Adeline goes over and above to help serve us efficiently. My mom is 89 and she loves Dr J. She's been a patient for over 10 years!!!!

My daughter's ins. Switched her to this doctor about 3 months ago. I called to make her an appt, to get her started. The staff said he wasn't taking new patients at the moment. I just called with an emergency for my child asking for an exception. The staff again told me no. I expressed that I would have to switch her to a doctor that will actually see her and the lady told me, "Good, you do that." Just rude!! I will not continue to attempt to have my child seen. I'll switch her to Dr. Fausett, my first choice any way. He and his staff knows how to treat patients.

Dr. Jai is an amazing physician. When he sees you, he takes the time to get to you in addition to the standard "tell me what's wrong today" routine all doctors go through. He actually takes the time to listen to your concerns and addresses them in a compassionate, professional manner.

Normally that would end my review, but I want to also address concerns from other people who have reviewed his practice. These are just my personal interactions and observations. I'm not trying to devalue other's reviews. I'm just attempting to show how my experiences differed from theirs.

When I first became a new patient, I did have to wait a few weeks to get an appointment. Regardless of who you choose as your NEW doctor, I recommend making an appointment as soon as possible, even if you aren't sick, so you can become an established patient and they can get your medical history, so when an emergency arises you aren't being turned away by everyone. A doctor's office doesn't want to be an Urgent Care center.

If you only care about getting in and getting out as quickly as possible and only want about 3-5 minutes of actual face to face time with your doctor, then Dr. Jai may not be the one for you.

Sometimes I am able to see Dr. Jai within 5 minutes of my appointment, while I have also waited 30 minutes to an hour to see him. I believe that happens at many other doctor offices as well, and I am not upset by that because I know he spends "extra time" with all of his patients.

I also know that if you are an established patient and willing to wait, he will see you as a "walk-in" patient for emergencies. Sometimes my appointment has run long because he worked in an emergency patient. I don't mind that because I, too, have been seen by him as a walk-in. There is no doubt for me that it is better to see your primary doctor rather than go to an Urgent Care or the ER.

His "office staff" is very efficient and effective.

The office manager can be blunt and terse, but I have never seen her be rude. Personally, I prefer someone who "tells me how it is" without beating around the bush. However, I can see how that might be intimidating or seen as "rude" by others. I don't believe she is either of those; she is always professional and does exactly what she says she will do for you in a very timely manner.

Regardless of your impression with his staff, it doesn't take away from the fact that you receive excellent care from Dr. Jai.

Dr J was the doctor on call when my daughter was admitted to the hospital. It’s obvious he cares about his patients and takes the time to explain things. Even though you can tell he’s busy you never feel brushed off when he’s making rounds and he’s very personable. We will be switching to him since we need a local doctor after moving here!!!

Quick visit this morning for a checkup. They've changed some staff and added a Nurse Practitioner. It seems to help expedite the visits.

As for people complaining about not being seen for "emergency".. This is not an emergency or urgent care center. Also, walk in "sick" visits are reserved for established patients infant or not. There are pediatric urgent care places in Tifton and Valdosta.

Dr Jay is a good dr however his hateful arrogant condescending wife is the reason I wont be back. Changing to someone who has a staff of nice people not an uneducated idiot that thinks she is god

Had referred 4 friends now all leaving.

They schedule 6 appointments at same time so he is behind to start with. MONEY HUNGRY NOT PATIENT DRIVEN

The staff was completely rude and unprofessional from the start. I called just to set up an appointment for my son who is sick. We just recently moved to the area. My son's insurance was changed suddenly and we unfortunately weren't aware until he had fallen sick with a cold. By default they assigned us to this Dr.
Not only was I immediately told he would not be seen for several weeks with no sympathy to the fact he was a sick infant, I was transferred to another woman. She then proceeded to very angrily repeat he would not be seen and yelled that I should call and switch back to our previous Dr. We obviously want to keep the same Dr and have every plan to switch back, but he was sick enough he needed to be seen.
I am so confused at what would elicit such a rude response over making an appointment for a sick child. The lady told me, "Just because your picked us as a Dr doesn't mean we pick you".
