J.R. Mounts

J.R. Mounts is originally from Southern California and moved to Georgia in 1994 with his wife. When asked if he has children he replies “Yes, 5 cats and 1 dog”. His greatest passions are his wife, songwriting, superheroes and monsters.

A songwriter at heart, J.R. has performed with many unsuccessful local rock bands since he was a child and has written for equally unsuccessful musical theater. He co-wrote a musical version of “The Scarlet Letter” that, in 2001, had a quaint, successful run in New York.

With a variety of job experience, he most enjoys being “the dude at the front desk” here at Peachtree Hills, being as helpful as possible and conversing with the clients. He feels the doctors and staff here are truly exceptional and offer the best of the best.

Most of all, after a good day’s work J.R. enjoys coming home to spend time with his wonderful wife.
