DeKalb Medical Physicians Group Miller Grove Primary Care in Lithonia blends modern medicine and location with old-fashioned family-style care.
A fixture in DeKalb County medical leadership and direct patient care, native Georgian Dr. Eddie Whitehead has led DeKalb Medical Physicians Group Miller Grove Primary Care since it opened in February of 2015. Located in a contemporary new office building across from DeKalb Medical’s Hillandale hospital campus, the practice also includes highly experienced Physician Assistant Jerry Wilson, and Dr. Kinzi Shewmake, a younger practitioner who often sees the women who visit the practice for gynecological check-ups and other issues.
The Miller Grove Primary Care group sees patients of all ages. Because chronic diseases in the local community of Lithonia include diabetes and hypertension, each practitioner prioritizes teaching patients about healthful lifestyle choices they can make.
The Miller Grove Primary Care practice is located at 2745 DeKalb Medical Parkway, Suite 110, Lithonia, GA 30058 across from DeKalb Medical’s Hillandale hospital campus. Whether patients need a simple flu shot or help managing a chronic disease like diabetes, the practice aims to be supportive, informative and restorative. A range of services is offered including general medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, orthopedics and minor surgeries.
“Patients who visit our office may find it’s less formal than other doctors’ offices. While we’re very serious about the care we provide, all three of us and our support staff love to joke around with our patients, as well as check in with them about their families, kids and lives! It’s not unusual that we see them around town out in the community and stop and have a conversation about the latest goings-on. We enjoy what we do and believe that shows in our patient interactions,” said Dr. Whitehead.
