Carousel Pediatrics, Children’s Healthcare of West Georgia

combining in move to Tanner Health Pavilion

Two local pediatrics practices have announced their merger ahead of relocating to the new Tanner Health Pavilion in Carrollton.

Carousel Pediatrics and Children’s Healthcare of West Georgia will join offices and patient care teams as the practices relocate into the massive new medical office complex along Dixie Street in Carrollton. Both practices are already part of Tanner Medical Group, which is operated by Tanner Health System.

And with a new practice comes a new name: Tanner Healthcare for Children.

Carousel Pediatrics features the patient care team of Elizabeth Adamiak, MD; Marilyn Coleman, MD; Jonathan Goodin, MD; Linda McCormick, MD; and Caitlin Tierney, DO.

Children’s Healthcare of West Georgia’s patient care team includes Holley Beam, MD; Caroline Colden, MD; Steven Eubanks, MD; Suzy Manley, MD; Amanda Nguyen, MD; Charva Poole, MD; Nestor Baldizon, PA-C; Lyndi Bowling, NP-C; Kerith Elrod, NP-C; Elisabeth McPherson, NP-C; and Tammy Stewart, PA-C.

Both practices will relocate to the Tanner Health Pavilion on Oct. 7. Carousel Pediatrics will move from its offices on Dixie Street, and Children’s Healthcare of West Georgia will move from its offices on Clinic Avenue.

The new address for the Carrollton office is 706 Dixie Street, Suite 210. The Tanner Health Pavilion is just across Dixie Street from Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton.

The Children’s Healthcare of West Georgia offices in Villa Rica and Bremen also will become part of the new Tanner Healthcare for Children.

The merger gives patients a larger patient care team, faster appointment availability and access to the new Tanner MyChart app, with the option to request medication refills, schedule appointments, pay bills and message providers through a secure login on any internet-connected device.

Tanner Healthcare for Children will offer same-day sick visits, developmental screenings, immunizations, vision and hearing screenings, asthma management, prenatal visits, weight management help, behavior disorder management, preoperative consultations, physicals for school and athletics, Spanish-speaking providers and more.

The practice is also certified as a Patient-centered Medical Home, a practice model that puts the patient at the center of a physician-led care team that helps with scheduling referrals and follow-up visits, medication management, testing and diagnostic services, and more.

Tanner Medical Group, part of Tanner Health System, is one of metro Atlanta’s largest multi-specialty physician groups. The group features providers offering anesthesia, behavioral health, specialized breast surgery, family practice, general and interventional cardiology, general surgery, infectious disease care, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, plastic surgery, radiation oncology, rheumatology and vascular surgery.
