CHICAGO and ATLANTA – Aug. 20, 2021 – VillageMD announced today it is opening two new Village Medical locations in the Atlanta area, bringing its total in the Atlanta area to eight locations with plans to open four more in 2021.

“Primary care physicians in the Atlanta area are embracing our value-based care model that allows them to provide high-quality care to their patients. We’re thrilled to welcome these experienced providers to Village Medical and they will benefit from our high-tech, high-touch primary care model and our proprietary docOS technology,” said Brent Asplin, M.D., president of Village Medical. “Dr. Hall and Dr. Desai and their respected, experienced teams share our vision for bringing the best possible primary care to their patients, including those with chronic conditions.”
Village Medical offers a comprehensive suite of primary care services including preventative care, treatment for illness and injury, and management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and kidney disease. Atlanta-area patients can learn more about the services at each location here.
“After practicing primary care for more than 25 years, I wanted to find an opportunity to continue offering the same level of high-quality care for my patients while leveraging more technology. I believe Village Medical is the best way forward in offering care for our patients,” said Dr. Robert Hall, who is formerly with Internal Medicine of Griffin, which first opened more than 60 years ago. “Now more than ever, a patient’s relationship with their primary care provider is paramount. I’m looking forward to welcoming both new and longtime patients to the enhanced experience at Village Medical.”
