Recently named "Georgia Downtown of the Year," this historic downtown is known for shopping. You will find boutiques, specialty shops, and the best restaurants in the south. If you're more adventurous, the area has a waterpark, recreational facilities, and amusement centers. For a more relaxed day, there are historical tours and trails, or take a short drive to the coast, where you'll find sandy white beaches and a day of aquatic fun.

While we are located in a rural community, physicians who relocate to our close-knit community enjoy a true quality of life, a lower cost of living, and a short trip to the mountains of Georgia or Tennessee, the beaches of coastal Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle as well as to larger metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee.
