Our physicians and staff want you to know that we are committed providing you with quality healthcare in a safe and efficient manner. As part of our commitment to providing you with the highest quality of health care, Atlanta diabetes Associates is accredited by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). This distinction certifies that Atlanta Diabetes Associates has met National Standards for management of high quality care.

Atlanta Diabetes Associates was established in 1984 with Dr. Paul Davidson as its founder. Over the Years, our growth has been tremendous, requiring the addition of several physicians and physician extenders to meet the growing demand of the treatment of diabetes and other endocrine disorders.

The medical specialty of endocrinology involves the diagnostic evaluation of a wide variety of symptoms and variations and the long-term management of disorders of deficiency or excess of one or more hormones. Although every organ system secrets and responds to hormones(including the brains, lungs, heart, intestine, skin and kidney), the clinical specialty of endocrinology focuses primarily on the endocrine organs, meaning the organs whose primary function is hormone secretion. These organs include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, testes and pancreas.

An endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in treating the disorders of the endocrine system, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and many others. With your primary care physician, your endocrinologist will help to diagnose, treat and manage a variety of endocrine system disorders and diseases.

The mission of Atlanta Diabetes Associates is to provide care to patients with diabetes and endocrine disorders based on current understanding of disease, current standards of patient care, and understanding of the individualized needs of our patients. Atlanta Diabetes Associates is committed to both the definition of and the implementation of the highest standards of care available for patients with endocrine disorders. It has been the privilege of this practice to participate in the process to develop the standards for care of patients with diabetes. We are committed to a widespread understanding of diabetes care.

Within our practice, we recognize that diabetes and endocrine disorders affect each individual in unique ways. It is our mission to appreciate the individual needs of our patients and combine those with the treatment options that are best suited to meet their needs.

We are committed to patient education and participation in the implementation of treatment plans so that the best care can be provided. We believe that partnership between patients and providers produce opportunities for health to be maintained on the long-term basis.
