TYRONE, Ga. — The only known Georgia doctor who was fired for defying a COVID vaccination mandate insisted he was not an anti-vaxxer.
Redwood is well known in the Atlanta medical community. He spent 16 years as medical director of emergency services at Wellstar Kennestone in Marietta. He worked for four years as an emergency physician in Piedmont.
Last month, he was reappointed to the Piedmont Atlanta medical staff with full privileges.
But last week, Redwood said he was fired from his job at both hospital systems for failing to comply with vaccination mandates for all health care employees.
