Buford’s Judicial & Healthcare Locations

Most Buford-area residents probably know that Buford Highway can be dangerous. The stretch of U.S. 23 and GA-13, built decades ago as a mixed-use roadway, has seen more than its share of motor vehicle accidents and pedestrian injury accidents over the years. Unfortunately, multiple pedestrians die every year on Buford Highway, particularly where the highway passes through Doraville, Brookhaven, and Chamblee. Many residents of these communities depend on MARTA’s most-used bus route, which travels Buford Highway. Unfortunately, the corridor is not pedestrian-friendly, and riders risk their lives getting to and from transit stops. It is anticipated that the Georgia Department of Transportation’s planned renovations of the intersections at Longmire Way, McElroy Road, and Oakcliff Road will result in a meaningful reduction of injury accidents.

Of course, life-altering accidents can occur anywhere in Buford. If you need to seek medical treatment following a car accident, you have several options. Two of the most convenient, high-quality hospital facilities for Buford residents are Northside Hospital Gwinnett and Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Braselton.

Northside Hospital Gwinnett, located at 1000 Medical Center Boulevard, Lawrenceville, GA, 30046, is a Level II Trauma Center. In addition to high-quality emergency services available 24/7, Northside Hospital Gwinnett specializes in trauma services, stroke services, high-risk maternity services, and cardiovascular care.
