History
Established in 2012.
Dr. Simpson saw his first pain management patient at Simpson Clinic in September 2012. As the practice grew, he saw the need for primary care. October 2014, Dr. Leigh Anne Young Dunlap joined the practice offering primary care at that time.

"The reason I got into pain management is that, as a resident, I saw people who were dying and in pain," Dr. Simpson said. "People were afraid to give them pain medication because they were dying. That was disturbing for me. But that was the practice of medicine 20 years ago."
The Doctor began his residency in anesthesia, but spent the last six months in pain management. Back then, no fellowships were offered in pain management, according to Dr. Simpson, who was raised in Brunswick, Tenn., on the outskirts of Memphis.
After completing his education, including medical school at ETSU, Dr. Simpson joined the Army and served at the Lyster Army Health Clinic as chief of Anesthesia and Operative Services. He also started a pain clinic.
"The clinic became so popular that there were even generals who would fly in," Dr. Simpson recalled. "It was a small base, Fort Rucker (in Alabama), and they were sending people to see me from all over the place."
