EXPERIENCE

“What I like the most about being a doctor is that my patients and I can work together to find ways to make their lives better, whether its through an antibiotic or a half an hour of hand holding, my patients know that I stress that we work together towards a common goal,” said Frank Lockwood, M.D.

Originally from Macon, GA, Dr. Lockwood received his M.D. from Mercer University and completed his residency in family practice at the University of Texas – Houston Hermann. As a resident there he was an AMA and AAFP National Scholar. Dr. Lockwood is Board Certified in Family Practice.

“I first wanted to be a doctor when I worked as a tech during the night shift at the Medical Center of Central Georgia. I found myself saying I can do this, and the rest is history,” said Lockwood. While Dr. Lockwood is in family practice his particular area of interest is in pediatrics and in women’s health.

Dr. Lockwood is also an Assistant Professor of Family Medicine at Mercer University School of Medicine and is on the teaching staff for Emory University's Physician Assistant Program.
