He Saved my Life. While on a road trip from Ohio to Valdosta I had chest pain that I went to the SGMC ER with at 2:30 am. My EKG was terrible. Dr. Staton was there and explained my situation. By 4:30 am I was in recovery with 3 stents in my heart. I’ve had multiple appointments at his office since then. I have experienced some long wait times, but I don’t mind because I know that Dr. Staton is more than likely saving another life.

I only have positive things to say about Dr. Staton and his staff. He has monitored my cardiac conditions for 5 years. Put in two back-to-back stents in my Left Circumflex Artery. Always goes the extra mile for me. He is smart and very personable. I highly recommend him if you are seeking a cardiologist who will care for you in a thorough manner. He is a true Blessing to me.

Dr. Staton is amazing as an interventional cardiologist and as a person. He is Johnny-on-the-spot in an emergency and no-nonsense. In the office he takes the time needed and is spot-on in getting to the problem and the treatment. He did a radial artery catheterization on me with exceptional skill. He also takes care of my family and I feel we are in exceptional hands. We are blessed to have him.

Two months to get appt with primary care telling him there were pacemaker problems. 3 1/2 hrs plus wait times on visits. Schedules surgery for early morning, but not performed until late afternoon/early evening because he makes it standard practice to run back & forth between his office & surgeries all day long. Had to hear complaints from hospital staff, OR staff & other patients all day. Wouldn't let me take my pain mgmt prescriptions all day. Found another cardiologist in Tifton.

We met Dr. Staton at the ER where my husband was after a heart attack. He came through that and we've been seeing him every since. He is thorough, smart & concerned for his patients. He's not one for long chats, and if you blink you may miss him as he does have a habit of darting in and out of his hospital visits.... but he is always there. I have been told by several nurses that he is very tough on them. But was also told if you do what you are supposed to do, you will have no problem.

HE IS AWESOMENESS!!! Seriously, he has saved my life, my husbands life, and my life as well. I had a rare myxoma tumor that he found and had it surgically removed. Dr. Staton was a trooper! Visited my room a few times everyday to check my progress and kept my family informed. Don't mess up and go somewhere else!!

I have no complaints about Dr. Staton as a doctor and my recent procedure. Everything went well and he was very nice in front of me. The problem I have is the way he berated and verbally abused the staff around him. On more that one occasion I witnessed verbal abuse and bullying right in front of me, for him to then look at me and smile and say he was going to take care of me. He is a great doctor, but I am certainly glad I do not have to work with him.
