Southland was developed to bring high quality medical services back to hospitals and communities that were being run by large, distant staffing companies in which there was no consistency in physician quality or care. Southland is striving to bring back the idea of the small town family doctor with the added bonuses of the training and experience of some of the area’s best medical practitioners. With an emphasis on quality, efficiency and patient satisfaction, Southland physicians are now treating patients throughout South Georgia and North Florida.
