A practice built to a standard, and held to it since 2010.

People ask, so here it is plainly.

Dr. Una named this practice Ivy League because of what it was supposed to represent — the standard of care we provide, and the quality of the practice she was setting out to build. It was a bar to clear, set on the first day, before there was anything here to clear it with.

It was never meant to describe the families who walk in. Every child who comes through this door gets the same standard, on every kind of insurance we take, and that has been true since 2010.

This is the thing parents tell us most often, and it's the thing we hire for.

Your four-year-old gets spoken to, not spoken over. Your fifteen-year-old gets asked her own questions and gets to answer them. It sounds small until you've sat in a room where it doesn't happen — where a doctor talks past a child who is perfectly capable of describing what hurts.

The other half is you. Not instructions handed down, but a plan the two of us make, because you know your child better than we ever will and we'd be foolish to work around that.

None of this is a policy. It's what all three of our clinicians were hired for, and it's what they do when nobody's watching.

We're accepting new patients on Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids, Peach State, Amerigroup and CareSource — not just accepting the card, accepting new families on it.

Roughly two in five children in Georgia are covered by one of those, and finding a pediatrician who is genuinely taking them is harder than it should be. We have room.

We also see self-pay families. That's normal here, not an exception, and it's worth a call so we can talk it through.

Dr. Nneka Unachukwu — “Dr. Una” — opened this practice in April 2010 and still owns it.

She no longer sees patients, and we'd rather tell you that here than have you work it out at a front desk. She spent five years deliberately building this place to run exactly the same way without her standing in it, so that no family here would ever be waiting on one person. Then she stepped back to homeschool her four children.

She doesn't run the day — the clinicians make the medical decisions and don't need her for that. But she owns the practice, she sets its direction, and there are three things she has checked every week for years: whether your child is getting expert medical care, whether this place still feels warm when you walk through the door, and how long the whole thing takes you, start to finish.

And the simplest thing she'll tell you: her own four children are patients here.

Families tell us how long they've been coming without being asked — since he was a newborn, now he's 11 · since my daughter was 1, she's now 6 · fifteen years. That's the number that actually matters to us.
