“Lee A. Resnick, M.D. and John Shufeldt, M.D collaborated to fill an ever growing need to establish best practice standards in the urgent care (on demand) industry by creating two comprehensive textbooks, Urgent Care Medicine and Urgent Care Management. Gathering some of the best minds in the industry to author chapters in their areas of expertise, the textbooks ensure the highest relevance, utility and credibility. The books provide a thorough and quick reference guide in both the application of medical practice and the management of an urgent care center. Our goal is to create a standardized approach to common urgent care presentations which assist the clinician in providing the highest quality care while accounting for the unique risk and uncertainty posed in an urgent care setting.”
North Atlanta Urgent Care is proud that Drs. Resnick and Shufeldt turned to our own Physician-Owner, Dr. Raul Rodon, to tap his breadth of knowledge for this first-ever Urgent Care Medicine textbook. Dr. Rodon contributed to two of the first chapters in the book focused on “Neurologic Urgencies.” Those chapters, “Headache in the Urgent Care” and “Altered Mental Status in the Urgent Care” contain critical information for Urgent Care staff to better understand two of the more common symptoms seen in their centers.
Dr. Rodon is board-certified in emergency medicine and a fellow of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine. He currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of North Atlanta Urgent Care. Additionally, Dr. Rodon serves as an Emergency Medicine attending physician at a local trauma center. Dr. Rodon received his medical degree cum laude from Universidad Del Zulia in Venezuela. He was president of his medical school class in 2000. He completed his medical residency in emergency medicine at Emory University. In addition to his duties as a physician partner in North Atlanta Urgent Care, Dr. Rodon is also an Instructor for Advanced Trauma Life Support and an active member of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Prior to opening North Atlanta Urgent Care, Dr. Rodon served as an Emergency Medicine attending physician at a local Metro Atlanta trauma center.
