PRIMARY CARE IN SANDY SPRINGS, GA
Primary Care in Sandy Springs, GA
North Atlanta Primary Care at Sandy Springs has been voted Best Primary Care 2026 by BestSelf Atlanta Magazine — and that's because we're built around what patients actually need: weekday and Saturday appointments, on-site labs and imaging, online check-in, and providers who take time to listen.
Award-Winning Primary Care in the Heart of Sandy Springs
Sandy Springs offers patients a real choice in primary care, from large hospital networks to dedicated family clinics. North Atlanta Primary Care at Sandy Springs sits firmly in the second camp — an independent, full-service primary care practice powered by Southeast Medical Group, with the team and resources of a regional network but the personal feel of a local clinic.
Our Hammond Drive location has been recognized three years running by BestSelf Atlanta Magazine, including Best Primary Care 2026 and Best General/Family Doctor in Sandy Springs for both 2024 and 2025. Dr. Tama Lynn Syrop, MD, was also named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor in 2024. Recognition is a byproduct of how the practice operates: thorough visits, real conversations, and a team that doesn't rush you out the door.
You can see a primary care provider Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM — which is rare in primary care and especially valuable for working professionals and families.

What to Expect at Your First Sandy Springs Appointment
A first primary care visit is about building the relationship and the baseline. Plan for 45 to 60 minutes for a new patient appointment. Most patients complete intake forms in advance through our patient portal, which keeps check-in fast.
Bring with you:
- A valid government-issued photo ID

- A complete list of medications, supplements, and vitamins with dosages
- Records from any previous providers — specialists, hospitals, or recent imaging
- Notes on any current symptoms, family medical history updates, and questions you want to discuss
Your provider will review your full history, perform a focused exam, order any needed lab work, and build a personalized plan with you — prescriptions, referrals, or follow-ups. Learn more about what to expect at a primary care appointment if it's been a while since your last visit.
