Johns Creek Internal Medicine & Primary Care
We are focused on quality medical care
Healing one at a time
Welcome to Health 1 Care.
We are an internal medicine practice located in Johns Creek, Georgia, and part of the Emory Healthcare Network. Doctors of internal medicine, or internists, are physicians who specialize in the prevention, detection and treatment of illnesses in adults. The first and foremost commitment of our practice is to see and engage each person we care for as a whole person: that means taking the time to listen and get to know each patient’s history and offering preventive advice and care, not just after-the-fact treatments and procedures. We are focused on quality medical care, healing one at a time.
Our approach to the practice of medicine is threefold: prevention first; early detection of illness whenever possible; and comprehensive, compassionate treatment if a patient does happen to fall ill. Dr. Christopher Kang and our experienced nurse practitioners always take the time to learn the unique medical history and concerns of each patient they see, and to tailor a personal preventive or treatment plan. Dr. Kang entered medicine because they have a love of healing — and they have decades of experience providing complete, caring treatment of patients in large-hospital-settings in the United States, South Korea.
