He has treated my husband and father…always so personable and friendly!
Excellent doctor. Really cares about his patients. God fearing man
Best Dr in west Ga
Dr. Cates, in my opinion has great diagnostic skills, he’s easy to relate to/with patients. He listens and DOES NOT rush through an exam.
Dr Cates is amazing he great with my daughters and myself he has done 2 knee surgeries on my knee and 3 on my oldest daughters and just done my youngest daughter 1 knee surgery. He has been all of our drs for years now and I refuse to see anyone else . His demeanor and bedside manner is absolutely incredible you can't ask for a better physician. He is a very passionate caring, and respectful. Dr cates is very professional . He took his time with me and my kids health and recovery. My daughter had her first knee surgery 1 month ago and he was incredible with her as she was very scared and had a lot of anxiety and he took his time to comfort her and help her relax I am forever grateful for his kindness and his support throughout all of our care.
He’s great!
