Doctor Suzie Schuessler was born into healthcare, following in the footsteps of her grandfather who was a surgeon. She takes a traditional approach to medicine that combines compassion with years of expertise.
After attending Samford University in Birmingham, AL, Dr. Suzie went on to medical school at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). She completed her residency at The Children’s Hospital of Alabama – UAB. In 1988, she began practicing medicine in LaGrange and opened her current office in 2000. Board certified in pediatrics, Dr. Suzie is licensed in both Georgia and Alabama. She is a member of several organizations, including American Medical Association, Medical Association of Georgia, Troup County Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics (fellow and member) and Child Abuse Protocol Team.
