Duluth, Ga. (April 24, 2026) – Piedmont has expanded access to primary care in Gwinnett County with the opening of its new location, Piedmont Primary Care of Duluth. Piedmont and the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting and community open house on April 23 to officially welcome patients and community members to the new clinic.
The clinic, located at 6340 Sugarloaf Parkway, Suite 350, is Piedmont’s Physicians of Eastside’s fourth primary care location in Gwinnett County. Other clinics are in Lawrenceville, Lilburn and Snellville.
“Developing a strong relationship with a primary care provider is one of the best things you can do for your health,” said Larry Ebert, CEO of Piedmont Eastside Medical Center. “We are dedicated to ensuring Gwinnett residents can receive high-quality primary care close to home.”
The new practice will help address the growing need for timely access to primary care services in the region. Piedmont leaders say expanding the network of primary care providers will help the community stay ahead of long-term health needs by making preventative care and routine visits more convenient for patients.
Primary care providers (PCPs), including doctors and advanced practice practitioners, are essential in helping patients manage their overall health. PCPs conduct regular checkups, develop disease prevention plans, coordinate care, and diagnose and treat illnesses, injuries and other health conditions.
Two providers are accepting new patients at the Duluth location:
- Alfred Wong, MD, specializes in adult primary care with a special interest in diabetes. He is board-certified in internal medicine.
- Omotayo Akinmade, MD, treats a variety of conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease. He is board-certified in family medicine.
Patients will have access to same-day appointments, online scheduling and video visits for convenient access to Piedmont’s care team.
