- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/10/2026
She had laryngitis. She was incredibly difficult to understand. She did not listen carefully to my responses to her questions. She recorded the entire visit inaccurately, including major errors re my medical history that will cause me to be denied insurance In the future. She noted things in my chart that did not happen during the appointment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/6/2026
Dr Dreyer is a Godsend & life saver. I feel very lucky that she takes the time to help me figure out what's going on and weigh various solutions. She continues to give me hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel and I will be able to move better as time goes by. I have been feeling increasingly discouraged - Dr Dreyer helped me refresh and carry on. She has also done this when I reached out via MyChart thru out this ordeal w/ my nerve pain, spasms, etc. Her explanations made such sense. Many thanks. I am blessed & lucky to have you helping me. You also have pulled a good team together to help me and others.

Good
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/13/2024
I am a longtime patient of Dr. Dreyer and hope to stay with her. At Emory there is constant turnover of physicians such that continuity of care with a practitioner who knows your history is often lost. Trying to find a new practitioner is difficult: most have no openings for new patients and the web listings are almost never updated to reflect this. I value my relationship with Dr. Dreyer and would recommend her to others.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/4/2024
The doctor meticulously examined me and too time to explain the result of my scan/MRI and helped understand my pains and what my planned solution will be and the follow up
