I’ve been such a frequent guest at Athens Regional, I might as well own one of the towers. When I was a police oﬃcer, I spent some time here while on duty. Since I started having cardio issues, I’ve had multiple heart procedures performed here, most recently the TAVR procedure. The doctors and nurses are wonderful. Everyone knows me by name and they really make you feel like family.

James “Smiley” Schultz TAVR Patient To make an appointment, please call Athens Regional Cardiology at 706.475.1700
