Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) January 23, 2015 -- Atlanta’s oldest and most prestigious orthopaedic group continues to expand its services in the metro area by adding a ninth comprehensive clinic location, a sixth Physical Therapy location and plans to open additional offices in the near future.

Additionally, all of POC's Physical Therapy offices are offering extended hours and are open until 7pm.
“We continue to receive an overwhelming number of requests by patients to expand our services, so after the successful opening of our Cumming office in 2013, we looked West toward Canton and Woodstock,” said Mike Butler, CEO of POC. “With Atlanta traffic what it is, we want to offer more convenience to our expanding patient base.” Butler said that additional clinics are planned for the near future with the goal being to ensure that the “quality care our patients have come to expect is provided both comprehensively and conveniently.”
