West Georgia Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology — the practice of
Michael Vavrik, MD, and Latoya Bexley, ANP-BC — is joining Tanner Medical Group and moving to a new location just up the road.
Beginning Feb. 1, the practice will begin seeing patients at 905 Dixie Street in Carrollton, just across from Southwire. The location is also the home of Tanner Rheumatology Specialists, the practice of Angela Pham, MD.
West Georgia Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology was established by Dr. Vavrik in 2004, offering specialized care for diabetes and prediabetes, diseases of the adrenal and pituitary glands, metabolic syndrome, male hormone concerns, diet-resistant weight gain and osteoporosis.
The practice has also worked closely with Tanner’s Get Healthy, Live Well, to provide the community with education on chronic disease prevention and management classes.

The practice also gains access to the health system’s Epic electronic health record platform, allowing for seamless care and communication from the clinic to the surgery suite to the hospital bedside.
