“We have been attending since my son was born. 13 years later, we are still very happy with the care he receives. This is due in large part to Dr. McGahee- she is very thorough and outstanding at following up and through a diagnosis. Fortunately, we have had few health scares, but for the ones we have had, I have always felt she gives a thorough diagnosis, and I have never felt as if my questions/concerns were dismissed. She really cares about her kiddos, and her warmth comes through- she is an excellent doctor!”

“We love Dr. McGahee! We have 3 children who are 7, 3 and 2 months and we bring all three to Dr. McGahee. We’ve been coming since our oldest was a baby so for the last 7 years. Before choosing East Cobb, we had been to another practice in the area and it doesn’t compare to the service that we receive from East Cobb Pediatrics. In my opinion my children get the best care and when they fall ill, we bring them right into the office and they are treated accordingly. The staff have been amazing for the most part. Thank you East Cobb Pediatrics!”
