Doctor's Bio
Dr. Maura R. George is an internal medicine physician who has dedicated her career to caring for underserved communities at Grady.

Her goal is to partner with patients to provide compassionate, whole-person care that improves health and well-being.
Originally from Erie, Pennsylvania, Dr. George earned her undergraduate degree from Princeton University and her medical degree from Northwestern University before completing her internal medicine residency in Atlanta.
