About Our Care for Locust Grove, GA
Locust Grove has grown rapidly along the I-75 corridor, and with that growth has come increased demand for advanced neurosurgical care close to home. Our Hampton office serves Locust Grove patients across the spectrum: athletes and weekend warriors with cervical disc issues, retirees in the Heron Bay community managing lumbar stenosis, and families navigating a brain tumor diagnosis. We work with primary-care providers along Bill Gardner Parkway and Highway 42, and we accept direct patient self-referrals — no gatekeeper required. Locust Grove patients also benefit from our MRI review pathway: bring imaging from the Tanger-area imaging center or from Piedmont Henry, and we provide a written surgical opinion.
