What Conditions Qualify for a Medical Marijuana Card in Brookhaven?
Brookhaven adults and children qualify under the 18 conditions Georgia DPH listed on July 1, 2026. A few carry an age or severity limit, marked on the tag.
Who Gets a Medical Marijuana Card in Brookhaven?
Brookhaven hosts two major medical campuses, Emory's Executive Park and Children's Arthur M. Blank Hospital. That shapes the three groups this page speaks to.
What to Bring and How Long It Takes in Brookhaven
Brookhaven patients are usually holding their card a few weeks after the video call. Portal records make the medical part quick.
An ID That Matches Your Home
Many Brookhaven addresses use Atlanta as the postal city, which is fine. DPH needs your Georgia license or state ID to match your street address, or a utility bill, phone bill, medical bill, or pay stub that does.
Emory or Children's Portal Records
Both Emory and Children's let patients download visit notes, imaging reports, and lab results. Save them as PDFs and add a complete medication list, since cannabis can change how some prescriptions are processed.

Registering a child? The patient card and the parent's caregiver card each carry the $30 fee plus the $3.75 portal fee.
Can Your Brookhaven Doctor Certify You? Emory Executive Park, Children's, and the VA
With major medical campuses inside the city, Brookhaven patients often have specialists close by. Certification is a different question from care.
Emory at Executive Park
Any physician fully licensed in Georgia with a principal practice here may certify, and no cannabis license is required. Emory specialists generally leave certification to others, but their records support an outside evaluation.
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
Pediatric specialists at Arthur M. Blank Hospital can release your child's records to you. The child registers as the patient and you as the caregiver.
Atlanta VA Veterans
VHA Directive 1315 prevents VA providers from completing state cannabis forms, and registering does not affect VA care. Share your VA records with Dr. Miller.
Coordinate With Specialists
Cannabis can interact with some seizure medications and blood thinners. Tell your neurologist or pediatric specialist once you or your child is registered.
Your Brookhaven Medical Marijuana Doctor: Named, Licensed, and Verifiable
Brookhaven patients can be certified only by a physician fully licensed in Georgia with a principal practice in the state, and the decision is always medical. Dr. Miller's NPI and Georgia license are below to verify.
Dr. Miller evaluates Brookhaven adults, and children through their caregivers, against the 18 DPH conditions. He works from specialist records, reviews what has been tried, and checks current medications before giving an answer.
If the patient qualifies, he certifies them the same day. If not, he explains his reasoning and the evaluation fee is refunded. Read Dr. Miller's full profile.

Not Certified? You Get Your $179 Back.
If Dr. Miller determines the patient does not meet Georgia's criteria, the full $179 goes back to your original payment method. Reach out within 14 days of the evaluation; no credit and no partial refund.
The $33.75 DPH fee is only requested after certification and goes to the state, so it is never at risk.
Steer clear of any Brookhaven service that guarantees a card for you or your child. Georgia leaves the decision to the physician, so a refund is the honest promise.

Before You Apply: Hospital Jobs, Campus Rules, and Parks
Brookhaven's big employers and public spaces each bring their own limits. The state card does not override them.
Emory and Children's Staff
Clinical employers often test for drugs, and Georgia law lets them act on a positive THC result even with a valid card. Staff in patient-care roles should read their policy first.
Oglethorpe University
Students must be Georgia residents to register, and patients under 21 cannot buy vaporizer products. Federally funded campuses generally prohibit cannabis on university property.
Parks and MARTA
SB 220 restricts use in public places, which includes Murphey Candler Park, Blackburn Park, and MARTA stations. Use medical cannabis at home.
Federal and DOT Jobs
Federal employees and CDL drivers are tested under federal rules that do not accept a state card.

From Historic Brookhaven to Buford Highway, the physician, the process, and the $179 price are the same.
