I have been diagnosed with several bone and joint related problems in my back that need surgery. I…read more previously had a lumbar laminectomy to help minimize pain. That surgery was performed by a surgeon in Las Vegas. That surgery was considered a minimally invasive surgery. However, it took me nearly 5 months to heal enough to return to work without significant pain. The bigger issue was that I had more issues post surgery than I did before. I developed numbness in both legs and down to my feet as well as having strong shocks down my legs. I was referred to Dr. Arthur Ulm to help me with this issue. He agreed I wad a candidate for surgery given the symptoms I was presenting. I had surgery 4 weeks ago, and feel like a million bucks! He did an amazing job! Not only do I have relief from the aches and pains of joint issues, but the shocks going down my legs to my feet are gone! I haven't had this much pain and discomfort relief in over 8 years. He knows what he's doing for sure. His staff was attentive and helpful to me and my wife. He was very communicative and prepared. I felt very comfortable gabbing this work done under his charge. I would recommend him for anyone asking about him. Very happy with the result!

This was my first visit to Howell Clinic and honestly it started off as one of the most frustrating…read morecheck-in experiences I've ever had. I stood in line for 36 minutes just to check in. What makes it even more ridiculous is that I already completed the online check-in the day before. Yet when I finally got to the desk, I still had to hand over my driver's license and insurance card and verbally verify all the same information that was supposedly completed online. So what exactly is the point of online check-in if patients still have to redo everything at the front desk? Standing in a crowded waiting room line for over half an hour when you're not feeling well isn't a great first impression. The process feels extremely inefficient and defeats the entire purpose of offering online registration in the first place. Hopefully the medical care is better than the check-in process, but based on the first experience, the front-end system definitely needs some serious improvement.

I owe Dr, Tang and his staff my sanity!! I am bipolar (a…read morelabel I resisted for a long time). I accepted my depression but didn't want to recognize the mania aspect. His therapist was patient to point out recurring episodes that are clearly manic. I reluctantly agreed but was okay with my 'mania' because I am extremely productive during these times. (In essence I wanted to treat my depression but keep my mania) About 5 months into TMS, therapy, and medications, I (like so many patients) felt very good and discontinued treatment. Gradually (over 6 months), coupled with major traumatic events, my bipolar disorder became uncontrollable. Insomnia and panic attacks were taking over my life. I had never had a history of insomnia and panic attacks. These led to severe depression (and I no longer had my desired mania to help motivate me). In desperation (and much to my shame and embarrassment), I reached out to Dr. Tang and asked for help. His staff was gentle, understanding, and nonjudgmental about my self discontinued treatment. I was quickly seen (via Face Time...I love this because I don't drive and truly had no energy for an office visit) by a nurse and then Dr. Tang. I was honest with everything this go around. Within one week on the proper medications and support, I began sleeping, eating, and being productive in what I would consider a 'normal' fashion. I (and my family and friends) were getting the 'old me' back!! It was so wonderful she exciting!! Today (just one month later), I am free!! Dr. Tang (after careful and considerate review of my symptoms and history) NAILED my situation!!! No more panic attacks. No more insomnia (I have a great 8 hours of sleep). No more depression. And no more mania ((I am okay without it if it leads to me panic and insomnia that was severely debilitating. I am so very glad I returned to Dr. Tang. Again, there was no judgment concerning my decision to'do my own thing' without Dr, Tang and therapy. I am so at ease and balanced!! I highly recommend Nashville Brain Institute. Trust him and be honest. I did and am living again!!

They didn't check me in until after 7am, but the lady at the desk was very sweet and friendly. The bathroom absolutely didn't get a night cleaning there was tissue all over the floor.the PFT technician Kyle was fun and dare I say a bit of a masochist. The breathing machine tubes had black inside and Kyle assured me I was not breathing any of the black stuff. He did wipe the outside off with his finger and some of the black came off. I told him that looks BAD! He agreed and said he needs this machine serviced.

Greetings to all, My…read moreexperience has been the opposite of the gentleman in the above review, I regret very much what does sound like a nightmare experience. My son has MoyaMoya disease that has required two brain surgeries by Dr. Mericle and his staff, and both times it went well. And associated tests went well too. We have been to the office and hospital about 6 times for different services and have always been happy with the doctors and the office personnel. We are fortunate to have Dr. Mericle here in Nashville, and to serve patients from around the U.S. charles coryn, lancing, tn.

The only good thing about the office is that the knowledge and treatment protocol seem to be good,…read moreotherwise it would be 1 star. The overall experience was terrible. It is impossible to communicate with anyone in the office. They do not answer the phone, and it does not roll to voicemail. There is only one contact number, no email address or any way to get in touch with them when the phone does not work! The last time I actually got through after FIVE attempts, I told them, and they agreed it was broken, but a month later, it is still not fixed. They are dealing with patients in excruciating pain and can't answer the phone?? We never saw the doctor. We saw the PA, which is fine, but we were not told to expect this. She was going to call us after MRI, and someone much less knowledgable did and we were unclear what the next steps were. They took forever to set up the referral for treatment. The most horrific problem we had was when they referred us to a different doctor for treatment, they sent the records for a DIFFERENT PATIENT over. So they were calling and sending paperwork to the wrong person. We never got any follow up calls. After the treatment was not effective, I called to discuss options and was told a nurse would call back. Nothing. Really it is unbelievable the lacking concern of any doctor office we have tried here in Nashville. But this was definitely the worst. We selected this doctor due to the large number of 5 star reviews on all the health review sites. Our experience was NOT good. (Also, they do not have online payment option like all the other doctor offices we have seen lately. Can't pay online, can't get through on the phone, can't pay while in the office. I don't mail checks.)

I left the office nearly in tears, completely defeated by his short, abrasive attitude which made my already frustrating condition feel even more hopeless.
