Mark P. Pentecost Jr.

Dr. Pentecost was our wonderful GYN in Atlanta for 25 years; every time an extra pound creeps onto this frame, I remember the picture on Dr. P's filing cabinet of exactly what 25 pounds of fat looks like!!! My late mother and I left Atlanta in 1996, but never forgot what a great physician and dear friend Dr. Pentecost was. He will be missed. Patricia (1918-2008) and Suanne Brooks

Dr, Pentecost was a truly professional, kind, old fashioned kind of Doctor. I
have not seen him since I was his patient many years ago. I just happened to be thinking of him recently and decided to look up his name on the internet.
I am saddened to know he has passed away. Atlanta has lost a legend of Atlanta's medical world.
My thoughts are with his family. Peace be with you. Merle Evans, Atlanta GA

Dr. Pentecost was one of my favorite physicians to work with at Piedmont. He was kind to me when I started my career at Piedmont on the OB/ GYN floor. He treated the nurses kindly and was always encouraging and supportive. He had a great sense of humor and we enjoyed talking together about my home town, Winder and his connection with County Line.

Piedmont Fayette Hospital owes a special debt to Dr. Pentecost for his role as Chairman of the Board in it's formative first 7 years. He was instrumental to me as medical staff president and the board in creating a culture of excellence that is Piedmont's hallmark. His character helped us to rise above the various turf battles and culture clashes that were inevitable in starting a new hospital. No matter what the dilemma, he was always confident, supportive and insightful. He didn't have any...

Mark was at his prime here at Piedmont when I arrived. He was a generous colleague with his time and experience. His patients adored him as an expert clincian and friend. I will never forget his warm and genuinely friendly smile when we met and shared clinical insights about our patients together. I am happy he is now at peace.

I loved working with Dr Pentecost . He was a true gentleman and an exceptional role model for all of the physicians at Piedmont hospital. His presence will be missed. We named the hospital board room at Fayette after him because of his significant contribution to our healthcare system. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

One of the truly great guys. Thank you for all the babies you brought into this world. Like all the great Daddies, you will be forever missed, influencing all of us evermore.

He was such an awesome human being:intelligent,kind,humorous,flexible,friendly, most caring and considerate,a super friend and advocate , an exceptional amazing doctor, and a Godly man. I worked with him and for him for eight years and he delivered all 3 children by C section and my whole family wil always love him and remember him. My heart goes out to all the family for your loss. He lives on in all the children and all the patients he healed and delivered into life.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Dr Pentecost was my first doctor and an inspiration to all of the Ob/ Gyn doctors here at Piedmont.
