A Pain Specialist Practicing in Georgia, as SB 220 Requires
Georgia's medical cannabis program stopped accepting certifications from out-of-state telehealth doctors on July 1, 2026. Under SB 220, the Putting Georgia's Patients First Act, the certifying physician's principal place of practice must be inside the state, and holding a Georgia license alone no longer qualifies. Dr. Adam practices Interventional Pain Medicine on Peachtree Road in Atlanta, so her certifications satisfy the in-state requirement.
Chronic pain sits at the center of her specialty, and intractable pain is among the qualifying conditions Georgia recognizes for the Medical Cannabis Registry. During the audio-visual telehealth visit she reviews your records and history, confirms whether a qualifying condition applies, and when certification is appropriate it is submitted to the Georgia Department of Public Health registry together with the notarized patient waiver Georgia requires.
Dr. Adam serves on the Georgia roster with Dr. Sean Lowe, Dr. Natasha Stinson, and Dr. Sakib Maya, giving MMJ.com four certifying physicians who live and practice in the state. Patients outside Georgia are routed to a different roster physician licensed in their own state of residence.
