Surgical Associates-N Georgia: Moody III Willis E MD

"Have lived in the area for 20 years, have heard a lot about Dr. Moody but until 4 weeks ago I never used him because I have been very fortunate with my health. He and his staff and Union General are over the top, the best care I have received in a long time, I would highly recommend his service."

"Dr. Moody is thorough, very professionall and in my case he said I needed a specialist because of my condition and the nature of my abdominal hernia and all the adhesions caused from a previous surgery. He referred me to Atrium Health and Surgial in Charlotte NC."

"Dr. Moody is a very caring, compassionate surgeon who has performed multiple procedures on myself and family members. He is my preferred surgeon and we trust him completely."

"Moody flat out refused to treat me on Medicaid referral. I am fully legally disabled from this condition. I was referred to Moody for a rare disease causing tumors known as Dercum’s. NORD ranks it among top 10 most painful rare diseases. I have had 31 previous multi-point surgeries for removal of tumors at a MD FACEP over the last several years. My primary care physician claimed Moody is the only surgeon they refer to. Not only was Moody largely unfamiliar with the Dercum disease particulars he made several glaring mistakes demonstrating he knew very little of the condition during our appointment conversation. His skill in manual manipulation of the tissues to physically feel the masses was very sub par. Other surgeons, ER NP’s, and doctors have had zero problem yet Moody seemed to not try, not care, or be simply too dead handed to feel them beyond the most egregious or painful. That alone should raise alarms for a surgeon. When diagnostic imaging was suggested he asserted it wouldn’t work because the tissues are the same density. Again, Dr Moody FACS is ignorant of the facts of Dercum’s. As such I deeply question his competency and ethics. He also pushes a heavy christian climate which is uncomfortable for those who believe otherwise. Also if you dig into Moody’s patients the vast majority are 75+ or close to it making him more of a gerontology surgeon. I would NOT feel comfortable sending my family or friends or even neighbor’s pets to Dr. Willis Moody MD FACS. His behavior observed leaves me with zero confidence in him as a medical professional."

"Dr Moody saved my life in March of 2019. I had a very complicated appendix surgery. If I would need surgery again, Dr Moody and Dr Efird is where I would go. My wife and I have been treated by both of these fine surgeons. The care in their office from Dawn who answers the phone to RN Sarah is 10 stars. They are both praying, Godly men.... kind, caring and highly skilled. It sure makes a difference when you're in a medical crisis."
