St. Mary’s Children’s Specialty Services is a free-standing outpatient clinic located just behind the hospital. The only service of its kind in Northeast Georgia, this clinic brings some of the state’s leading experts in pediatric medicine to Athens, so parents don’t have to take their children to Atlanta or Augusta for important consultations.

More than two dozen highly specialized physicians practice at the clinic on a rotating basis, seeing children referred to them by local pediatricians, family practitioners and other specialists. The clinic offers specialty care in these areas:

Since the service opened in March 2001, more than 14,000 children have received care there, saving them and their families thousands of hours lost hours from work and school time, and thousands of miles of driving. The service is doubly convenient because it is located on the St. Mary’s campus, so if your child needs additional testing, you can simply walk the few steps to St. Mary’s Hospital and have testing done in-house the same day.
