Having opened our doors nearly 1 year ago, this is a good time to reflect. The growth of our business has been 183% of projected. Furthermore, our metrics of growth heavily favor a recurring form of revenue stream that results in positive longterm projections. Understanding what has contributed to our rapid, and more importantly sustainable growth is key towards building for the future.
Cobb County has over 80,000 businesses in the most recent census, which is in line with neighboring counties of Dekalb and Fulton when controlled for population. Thus, the number of businesses in Cobb does not seem to set this county apart in Georgia. What does set Cobb County apart is the participation of key business leaders in community events. Our local BNI group, the Cobb Chamber, small business associations, nonprofits, and networking groups are consistently arranging opportunities to build relationships. And the attendance is always impressive. Other business owners, key staff, and new faces with hopes of opening a business attend to share stories and discuss partnerships. The result is an army of like-minded individuals working to help you grow, while you develop a passion to do the same for them.
About You Family Medicine received an award from the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce in 2019 as a Business to Watch. This is a prime example of what has built our company over the past 12 months: relationships. Similarly, our medical practice is designed around relationship-building. We aim to provide healthcare for individuals and families over decades. We want to be a part of people’s lives as one ages and becomes more wise. And continue to care for the next generation in families. Within Cobb County, a similar aspiration is clear. There are endless opportunities to build relationships and grow together as individuals and businesses.
Here is to another year of growth and partnership!
Dr Sanders of About You Family Medicine serving the Atlanta, Smyrna, and Vinings region received a recommendation as a highly recommended doctor. What sets our clinic apart is what makes us special. We go well beyond the annual physical exam. New visits are frequently over 2 hours in length. That helps us get to know a person on a much deeper and more personal level. Dr. Sanders helps design a management plan that fits each individual’s preferences and needs. This level of personalized care is difficult to find in our current healthcare system. After your visit, Doctor Sanders checks in with you before your next appointment to ensure the treatment plan is effective. This allows for flexibility and adaptation to meet each individual’s needs. After all, healthcare should be personalized and individualized. Dr. Sanders is even available to members of the clinic after hours and on weekends as sometimes healthcare needs are unpredictable. Sure we manage diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer screenings, preventive care, urgent care, arthritis, laceration repairs, injections, skin biopsies, and much more. But what we truly specialize in is rising to meet each individual person’s needs. This is what makes us different. This is what sets us apart. And this is why we come highly recommended in the Atlanta, Smyrna, and Vinings area. Call today to meet Dr. Sanders (770) 648-3462.

The above images are from one of our patients. As part of his routine physical, the patient received a complete skin check. The suspicious mole above was biopsied by Brian P. Sanders, MD for no additional charge. The mole was found to be early melanoma. The patient’s care was coordinated with a melanoma specialist for complete excision within a couple of weeks. The patient is now free of cancer. Without his physical and skin check, this could have become a terminal illness.
