For our patient’s convenience, Manny Gallego, M.D., Yasser Jabri, M.D. and Salvatore Chillemi, M.D. are on staff at Kennestone Hospital, Cartersville Medical Center, Northside Hospital-Cherokee and Floyd Medical Center.

Calls to schedule appointments should be made during office hours. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Appointments are normally arranged by the patient’s primary care physician so that records can be obtained prior to the patient’s appointment. Cancellations should be made 24 hours in advance.

NGKS files insurance for patients who are hospitalized, who have Medicare or Medicaid insurance, and who belong to a contracted HMO, POS or PPO. NGKS expects your copayment at the time of service. If your insurance requires that you have a referral in order to see a specialist, please arrange this with your primary care physician prior to your appointment.

We believe in supporting and giving back to the Community. North Georgia Kidney Specialists supports the National Kidney Foundation and their efforts to raise kidney awareness.
