They treat each patient as if they were their own family member. If a situation arises that needs familial attention, they are quick to make contact to see what needs to be done to resolve the situation. Each staff member is open to suggestions from a family member. No "standard operating procedure" exists here. Each patient is distinct and is treated accordingly. Most surprisingly, when you enter the facility there is no "odor" that eminates in most health care facilities. If you want superior care for your family member, I strongly recommend them!

Joint replacement and fusion offered uncertain success, while gel and steroid injections provided temporary relief. My primary care physician recommended Dr. Carlson for non-surgical treatment for osteoarthritis and joint pain. He praised Dr. Carlson's advancements in PRP, a treatment made from concentrated platelets derived from the patient's own blood. Skeptical but desperate for relief, I scheduled a consultation and felt hopeful for the first time. Dr. Carlson reviewed my scans and diagnosed my condition using ultrasound, and had confidence he could provide relief. He created a detailed treatment plan and explained everything to me. After three months and three rounds of injections, I've been relatively pain-free and now walk five miles every morning. If you're experiencing joint pain, mobility issues, arthritis, or any other injury, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Carlson. PRP is typically less costly, quicker recovery, and for me, offered a better outlook than surgery. I was pleased with everything from our initial meeting to the final treatment. Working with Dr. Carlson was extraordinary. He dedicated time to explain his treatment procedure, ensuring my comprehension and comfort throughout the process. The entire office staff exceeded expectations, particularly in the healthcare industry.

Constant Surprise Bills Overshadow Great Medical Care…read more Dr. Geddes is an exceptionally gifted surgeon. He performed a hybrid spine surgery for me in August after extensive research, second opinions, and many discussions. His skill, professionalism, and bedside manner are truly outstanding -- and my surgical outcome has been tremendous. I can't praise him and the surgery center enough. It was shocking how good it was! Unfortunately, that outstanding medical experience is completely overshadowed by the Center's billing practices. There are multiple separate entities involved -- the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and facility -- each billing independently. Because Blue Cross Blue Shield would only cover the fusion portion and not a hybrid procedure, I personally paid ~$21,000 upfront of my own money. Despite that, I continue to receive additional, unexplained bills that don't match any of their original estimates. And my insurance company (Blue Cross Blue Shield) can't explain this practice's billing either. Repeated requests for an itemized billing statement have gone unanswered, even though Tennessee law requires licensed hospitals and surgical centers to provide one within 30 days. When I escalated the issue, I was belittled by a billing employee, who said something to the effect that it was a "privilege" to be operated on there (because my situation was insurance + cash which they apparently don't typically deal with) -- an appalling comment considering I paid out-of-pocket for half the procedure. NONE OF THEIR BILLS MATCH ANY OF THIER ESTIMATES so nothing ties out. Its a mystery where these charges are originating. And when you and ask for a format that shows it all - the answer is, "no". I was assured multiple times that I would not receive further bills. Yet, weeks later, I continue to get new invoices (today's surprise is $1,345.29 and is the 3rd, different amount mystery bill). The lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable. It's clear their billing systems are disjointed and antiquated, spread across multiple legal entities that do not coordinate or communicate effectively. It's truly unfortunate, because the surgeons, staff, and facilities are top-notch. If their billing process were as excellent and transparent as their medical care, this would easily be a five-star review. But as it stands, the constant surprise bills, missing documentation, and dismissive attitude make this a one-star experience. They are forcing me now to have to spend more time and more money escalating this. Patients deserve both world-class care and honest, transparent billing.

We just moved here so its a great comfort to me to know we have you all close. Everyone was so kind and efficient during her 3-day stay. I wish I had all of your names but I just don't, but here's a few of the folks that we wish to say thank you too: -- David Mullins and Jeff Rennie came quickly in the ambulance despite us being in a dark, rural area full of deer. They were kind and comforted mom. -- Kimberly in emergency was very kind and helpful to me too, as it was our first time there and I just did not know where to go. -- The ER staff was great too, including Dr. Scott. -- The nurses were wonderful to mom, as well. I hate it that I don't have all of your names, especially the young lady that cut mom's food for her as that was so sweet.

After we finally got a room, it wasn't private and honestly I was so thirsty but didn't think to ask for anything especially as after they gave me the tiniest cup up water after being there for 4+ hours to swallow my pill for which I never knew why exactly I was taking it until the nurse informed me of an infection the doctor hadn't told me I had yet. The water was so bad tasting!!! Although the staff are sweet, the phlebotomist is like a sergeant and not at all caring or approachable. Honestly, it's like everyone working there is so excited to finish up their shifts they forget you! On top of it, it's soooooo dirty with pee all over the bathroom floor stinking so bad and with there being needles just randomly on the floor, at least one in our room, trash on the floor, and our phlebotomist went to take my blood even though his glove had ripped exposing his dirty hands!!!
