Dr. Mims, will sweet talk you to having surgery you do not need. Please be aware of this doctor. He is ruthless and only cares about making money. He told me to trust him and the best thing to do was to take my gallbladder out. Big mistake. He told me I just needed to keep one week of low fat diet. Second week eat a normal diet. 2 weeks to recover and then you can go back to normal. BS not having a gallbladder will alter your digestive system for several months. Everything you eat makes you cramp and run to the bathroom. The pain is so intense that you will lose your appetite causing you to loose ton of weight. But he will never mention any of this because he only cares about his pocket. Please stay away from this doctor. He doesn’t care about you Or your well being. I am going through so much because of him.

Do not let him convince you that you need a prophylactic gallbladder removal. Such an unnecessary surgery. He will not inform you of the long side effects of not having your gallbladder . He only cares about making money. Please another for second opinion

Dr. Mims is sweet. However, this doctor is very quick to suggest surgery. He will not discuss or share any information unless you have questions. Please get second opinion before opting to do surgery. This doctor removed my organ when it was an unnecessary surgery. Regret the decision now.

Dr. Mims is by far the BEST general surgeon in Atlanta! He performed my complete thyroidectomy Dec 2014 and you can't even tell I had surgery. He strategically placed the incision so that it blends with a natural crease in my neck. Most people are surprised to find out I had surgery. Thank you Dr. Mims - You are a SUPERB and SKILLED physician!

Dr. Mims was referred to me by another doctor who had hernia surgery performed by Dr. Mims. Dr. Mims was very patient and thorough. On the day of surgery his staff was very friendly and my hernia surgery started on time. Dr. Mims used stitches vs. staples that I have heard are not as comfortable. The surgery was a success and have had no problems. I have no reservations in saying I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Mims.

I had an outpatient surgical procedure done by Dr. Mims a few years ago for a hernia I had been putting off getting treated for years, mainly due to apprehension at undergoing surgery. I did a lot of research on doctors, techniques, etc. beforehand and was first and foremost looking for a top technical surgeon (I had even considered travelling out of town to a specialty center, but ultimately decided it didn't make sense). I found Dr. Mims to have an excellent manner, took plenty of time explaining things to me and letting me ask questions, and was very courteous and respectful. While I wouldn't call having surgery of any kind pleasant, the whole process was much smoother than I imagined, and I was quite satisfied with the outcome. I was also impressed with Piedmont's efficiency, and would definitely recommend Dr. Mims as a general surgeon.

Great Doctor! A nice human being who treats you really well. Everything wonderful about this doctor and his practice and everyone who works there. Even the waiting room is comfortable and nice (better than any other doctor's waiting room I've been to. Even the receptionist is very polite and patient and smiles. The whole office suite is clean, modern, comfortable. Dr. Mims is kind, caring, patient and thorough. He even smiles alot. His nurse is so sweet and smiles nonstop, she's wonderful. Dr. Mims did outpatient surgery on me 3 years ago and I was treated wonderfully from first office visit forward. I was very satisfied and grateful with the whole experience. Dr. Mims was voted one of Atlanta's top surgeons and I believe it. I feel I'm in the best hands with him both as a surgeon and a nice person. I saw him again yesterday for a new problem (that turned out to be very minor), and I had the same extremely professional and caring experience.
