Dr. Michael A. Hellwege, MD - Warner Robins, Georgia

Dr. Hellwege performed a lumpectomy on me 3 years ago. He was amazing. Over the weekend, I found a new lump. It was suggested by my oncologists office to contact Dr. Hellwege's office for assistance, which is a whole different review in itself. I called Tuesday morning and left a voice-mail. On the recording you are asked not to leave multiple messages as it will slow the process. No call. In desperation, I contact my gynecologist. I see her next morning and I already have an appointment at the imaging center. I also find out at this appointment that Hellwege is retired. So in addition to searching for a new oncologist team, I'll also hire a new surgeon team as well. Thanks for nothing and you may want to check your voice-mail and call your patients back.

Dr. Hellwege is a stellar surgeon! He absolutely saved my life. He is the MD that you want if you are a person that doesn't need fluff. I too work in healthcare and appreciate honest and straight forward answers about everything from Diagnostics to Treatment to Prognosis. He's an extremely smart individual and has attention to detail. He implements careful and precise planning in his treatment and procedures. I have minimal scarring, He is a compassionate doctor and takes great pride in his work. He may come off initially as lacking in bedside manners however, that is not the case. what is being experienced is him being very caught into how to give the best treatment and options to save your life. once you understand that you'll appreciate his hard work and dedication. If you need excessive coddling, he may not be for you, but if you need the best with all options and treatment avenues visited/weighed for your benefit, he is your go to. I love him!

Dr. Hellwege has no bedside manner or professionalism. He made my loved one cry as well as demean her symptoms. She was referred to him by her general physician who has a theory of what is causing her ailment. When my mother told him this he dismissed it by saying there is no way he could know that without a procedure being performed. WHICH IS LITERALLY THE POINT OF MY MOTHERS CONSULTATION was to schedule the procedure that would determine the cause.

Don't be a doctor if you are incapable of caring for your patients

Front staff was really nice, however Dr Hellwege not so much! He lacked bedside manner and was rude. He did not listen to my concerns as a patient nor did he seem to care about them. Definitely would NOT recommend him for any medical procedures.

He doesn't mince words, but knows his stuff and that is what matters to me. He was wonderful and the appointments were fast. I had my gall bladder removed and have not any problems since. I am very grateful. He is reasonable in his prices too, and works with you.

Processed like cattle !!!
Dr. Hellwege time is extremely important, so if you expect him to spend more than a minute in the same room examining you, just forget it. If you have a question do not expect him to answer it, you should be ashamed of yourself for even questioning him or wasting his time, he is a Doctor. Some people say he is rude, self-centered, and arrogant and are probably right. Therefore, if you wish to be treated like a human with respect, and have someone take the time and answer your questions and not process you like cattle I strongly suggest you find another Doctor. Whether or not if he is a good surgeon or not I cannot say but I can assure you with his mannerism he will not be preforming any surgery on me.
It is a shame you have to give him at least one star, but you have to or it will not let you rate your true experience

I just went to Dr. Hellwege for the first time. Thought I had a hernia, turns out it is just a muscle strain. He knows his stuff well and is very efficient. He and his staff were all very helpful and provided excellent customer service. I was recommended to him by a friend, and I will continue to recommend him as well.

Not the best communicator. Actually, quite unapproachable.
