What to Bring and How Long It Takes in Dunwoody
A few weeks after your video visit, you can walk into the Dunwoody store with your card. This is what speeds that up.
Georgia ID at Your Dunwoody Address
Dunwoody addresses often carry an Atlanta or Dunwoody postal city, and either works if it matches your home. Bring a Georgia license or state ID, or pair another ID with a utility bill, phone bill, medical bill, or pay stub.
Specialist Notes From Across the Line
Records from Northside, Emory Saint Joseph's, or your own specialists support your evaluation. Add all current medications, since cannabis can change how some prescriptions are processed.

Can Your Dunwoody Doctor Certify You? Pill Hill Specialists, Local Practices, and the VA
Most Dunwoody residents get hospital care just across the Sandy Springs line. Here is where certification fits in.
Hospital Specialists Nearby
Georgia permits any physician fully licensed in the state, with a principal practice here, to certify, and no cannabis license is required. Pill Hill specialists usually decline, but their notes are what you need.
Dunwoody Village Practices
Your primary care doctor near Dunwoody Village or Mount Vernon Road does not have to refer you. If they decline to certify, their records still count.
Veterans and the VA
Atlanta VA providers cannot complete state cannabis forms under VHA Directive 1315, and registering does not affect VA benefits. Bring your VA records instead.
Tell Every Prescriber
Cannabis can interact with some blood thinners, seizure medications, and Parkinson's drugs. Let each of your doctors know once you are registered.
Your Dunwoody Medical Marijuana Doctor: Named, Licensed, and Verifiable
Dunwoody patients can be certified only by a physician fully licensed in Georgia with a principal practice in the state, and the decision is a medical one. See Dr. Miller's NPI and Georgia license below.
Dr. Miller evaluates Dunwoody patients against the 18 DPH conditions, often using records from the hospitals just across the line. He reviews the diagnosis, what has been tried, and your current prescriptions, and gives you a clear answer.
If you qualify, he certifies you that day, and you can shop at the Dunwoody store once the card arrives. If not, he explains why and the fee is refunded. Read Dr. Miller's full profile.

Before You Apply: Perimeter Offices, Perimeter College, and Brook Run
Having a dispensary in town does not change employer rules or where you can use medical cannabis. Check these first.
Perimeter Center Employers
Large insurance, tech, and corporate employers in the Perimeter office district may test for THC, and Georgia law lets them act on the result. A card does not change that.
Perimeter College Students
Students at Georgia State's Dunwoody campus must be Georgia residents to register, and under-21 patients cannot buy vaporizer products. Public campuses generally ban cannabis on university property.
Brook Run and Dunwoody Village
SB 220 restricts use in public places. Brook Run Park, the Dunwoody Nature Center, and events in Dunwoody Village all count.
MARTA and the Road
Do not use at MARTA stations or before driving on I-285 or GA-400. Georgia's DUI law covers any drug that makes a driver less safe.
Serving Every Dunwoody Neighborhood and the Perimeter
From Dunwoody Village to Georgetown, the physician, the process, and the $179 price are the same.
