20 Best Physician Assistant Programs In Knoxville, TN (2022 Updated)

I completed the MOL Master Organizational Leadership program entirely online as a distant learner. My experience has been pretty pleasant, however some of the course material was out-dated so revisions has been made to the program offering a new specialization track for students to benefit from. My professors were Amazing minus two 😊😊, however I would say that they were bad I just think that sometimes differences of opinions should be respected. I actually excelled in the MOL Program and learned so much about l leadership. My only complaint is that my degree was mailed out to me in a card board envelop which is beyond shocking to me and an insult. I would prefer that my hard earned degree have been package in a hard Trevecca Nazarene University portfolio. I have attended several universities an none of the other schools has ever mailed my degree in a card board envelop; Murray State University Shorter University, nor Argosy University Minus this experience TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY is by far an Excellent University💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 -LaTalia Chambers June 6th 2021LaTalia Chambers

With staff including the likes of Graham Hillard, it's hard to believe this campus does much to educate the community on the teachings of Christ. His writing is incredibly callous, divisive, and lacking any semblance of the compassion included in the fellowship I was raised in. To think they would allow him to publish articles so publicly, linking his hateful ideas to this campus, speaks volumes.Chuck Darcy

Great school! I just started here, and I can’t tell you how thankful I am to be here. They were the only school to put real effort in recruiting me, and I couldn’t turn them down. Glad I didn’t! Looking forward to seeing all that Trevecca has to offer. 🙂Alex Piotrkiewicz

RMU completely changed my LIFE! I have made lifetime friends, and we have been there for each other not only through school-related things but through everything else that life consists of. Career-wise, I went from going to work every day and being satisfied just where I was to having a desire for growth and excellence in my profession. I enjoy learning more about my craft now and researching the very best evidence-based practices for my clients. During school, I have received several certifications that have increased my knowledge, and many of them I learned about from my classmates. Now, I am the only SLP in my entire state to provide one particular swallowing treatment and one of about seven people to provide two other treatments. In addition, RMU was essential in me learning how to start a private practice and improved my confidence in myself that I can actually run one! Now, I am running a successful practice with five independent contractors. Also, I am in a position where I am almost ready to transition to doing my private practice full time, which will increase my salary even more while having more time with my family. RMU is a perfect place to jumpstart anyone looking to surpass all their career and life goals! I highly recommend RMU!!! Glinda Mauldin, ClinSciD CCC-SLPGlinda Mauldin

My experience at RMUoHP was amazing. It began with my inquiry and application to the program! From the very beginning, every interaction with all staff members and faculty has always been very professional and positive! All inquires and requests were handled expeditiously. From the educational aspect…all of the faculty was stellar! I learned so much from each and every professor. The professors were very accommodating and supportive during some times of personal turmoil. Dr. Jan Reese was amazing and made learning the technology seamless! Dr. McClary has been an awesome educator and mentor throughout this entire program. She was always only a text or call away! Drs. Shibinski & Martin really did a wonderful job teaching the fundamentals of becoming an educator and helping me establish a strong foundation…their step ladder approach helped me understand so clearly. Dr. Rust has also been instrumental in my success…it all started from a message received from Dr. Rust via LinkedIn! He has done a great job putting together this program and faculty. As I stated previously…it has been a great experience from beginning to end!!! Leticia Camacho, PA-C DMSc-Cohort 4 New York Presbyterian/Hospital for Special Surgery New York City, NYLeticia Camacho

I entered RMUoHP to do one thing: obtain my doctorate in speech-language pathology. I left with so much more. From the moment I made the first phone call to consider applying, I felt like I was joining a family. RMUoHP welcomed me and supported me in this manner to whatever level I needed throughout the experience! The quality of the instruction and content is excellent. The program is rigorous so throughout the experience I was challenged while gaining professionally credible skills. My knowledge and skills in evidence-based practice sky-rocketed. The number of tools to critically analyze research, and to critically analyze the evidence to make professionally sound decisions for my practice was unexpected but professionally and personally enriching! I leave the program as a new, more knowledgeable professional who will positively impact the children, families, and other professionals with whom I work! Thank you RMUoHP for the experience of a lifetime! I came in with one goal and left having fulfilled many new ones I discovered along the way! Lisa M.

I've been going to this school for about 5 years now, and time and time again I've struggled with dealing with the various financial aid and business departments losing my paperwork so I very nearly couldn't pay for school multiple times. Also there is a huge problem with teachers who either don't care when they teach, or care too much and are so strict no student can pass adequately. The campus itself seems beautiful at first, but things are constantly broken and left that way for months at a time. Their website, both the public one and the one for students, is difficult to navigate and a lot of their information is out of date or useless and it keeps going down without warning. If you are transferring to the school, don't even bother. It is pretty much guaranteed that they will lose your paperwork and many of your credits that you were supposed to be able to keep. Overall, its not very student friendly and I really regret staying here.Sleepy

So I'm on the middle of the road with this college. I had gone here for years, but suffered a seizure back in Spring 2019. This caused me to withdraw from all my classes since I had no way to catch up before midterms, which were happening the week of my return. I now cannot return to classes, and finish my last bit of my associates, until I pay back APSU themselves. Now it's understandable that they hold my transcripts until it's paid, but unreasonable that the payments they make cannot be lower. What made APSU so great, to me, was their art department. I loved all the professors that taught here, and they did care about my well-being when I did have my seizure. Even more core-classed professors did their hardest to work around my recovery. It's just a shame that I cannot return to college until I pay the college themselves back when I am unable to even begin the payment due to my income.Jessica Watson

THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY!!!!!! Not people. I attended a Track Meet for High School students at this sorry excuse of a university and of course they charged money. That's fine. But it was a rainy day and there is a "Club" area that is the only area covered. Being that it wasn't a College event no "Club" members were present so parents and kids were taking shelter there. THEY shut down the Track meet to kick those families out of this area and when asked why THEY stated that's just the decision they made. THEY said this to my face while I'm holding my 2 year old girl in my arms. I was visiting from Michigan to see my son run in Tennessee so I didn't want to just miss it. This shows just how they feel about people at this University. Terrible people here. I wish I got the name of the main coach doing the speaking so I could put her heartless self on blast.Justin Davis

This place is a joke. My daughter has pneumonia pretty bad after having covid. She's been to her Dr everyday this week trying different antibiotics along with breathing treatments. She didn't improve, only got worse. Today her doctor said there was nothing else they could do that she needed to be admitted. They called the hospital to let them know. We get there. They said it wasn't a direct admittance we would have to go through triage and see what they say. We waited for two hours whole my daughter was sitting there coughing so bad and having issues breathing. When we got called back the nurse said that her lungs were clear and sounded good. After 2 doctors have to told me all week including today how bad they sound..and you could literally feel it through her chest. She then said she couldn't justify putting her in a room.. she said we would probably be waiting another two hours before we got called back. She said that if she had issues breathing again to tell the front desk and they would look at her and see if she needed to go back into a room. So even though her lungs have been full of fluid and sounding horrible all week it was able to just disappear in a couple of hours. If I could give this place zero stars I would.Cassie Parker

My son was transferred to ETCH from Bristol. We were in ICU for a week before he had surgery. After the surgery he recovered very quickly and we were able to step down to another room for a few weeks. The entire time we were there we always felt like everyone there loved their job. Every doctor was very thorough when explaining things (he saw probably 5 doctors total but at least one per day), the nutritionist helped him gain back part of the 10 pounds he had lost, physical therapy was very knowledgeable and even helped him practice things he could use to get back into sports, the nurses were always attentive. Dr Savage did his brain surgery and even did it in a way that she didn't have to shave all of his hair, you couldn't even tell it was there and it goes almost ear to ear on top of his head. When we returned for a follow up the infectious disease doctor removed his picc line so quickly and kept him engaged in conversation so that he didn't even notice it was being removed. The hospital was clean. The cafeteria food wasn't bad. Seriously cannot say enough good things about the hospital and staff. I am so glad we were sent to this hospital.Katie Jones

While I am not a patient here now, I once was during my youth. I don't think anybody has fond memories at a hospital unless it's a day when the patients get great news. However, I do have one tender memory. Years ago, I was scheduled to have a colonoscopy on my 12th birthday. The nurses and other staff were wonderful and surprised me that morning with a bag full of gift shop goodies since my birthday was spent at the hospital! I'm pretty sure they spent their own money on everything! I still have the small tote bag and everything inside of it, and it's been almost seven years! The nurses here make it better if you have a child going through a tough time. However, the medical doctors here can be a bit frigid and could probably use a course in hospitality. Although I understand they are dealing with sick kids all day, it must be hard to be warmhearted in that environment. Honestly, the only bad experience had with any of the staff was with a doctor, but I have forgiven him and hope he was just in bad spirits the day I saw him. Thank you to all the wonderful staff here for caring for me when I was a kid.Camden J.

They r amazing school/hospital bc my dad has hydrosphlis and it has been 5 months (longest it's been without a surgery) the va shunt is doing us wellkelsie baker

Dr. Parsons, Devon, and their team were amazing. Broke my wrist in May 2021and greatly appreciated a surgeon not recommending surgery. My wrist healed with a splint/cast and physical therapy. However on a follow up appointment I had a concern about my left shoulder. Dr Parsons scheduled an MRI and the results revealed a torn rotator cuff, which was quite a surprise. Surgery was required. Dr. Parsons was simply the best. A phenomenal surgeon, kind, caring, a good listener and very professional. His physician assistant, Devon was awesome and very knowledgeable. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Parsons and his team.Mary Ann McKittrick Tamisiea

Dr. Parsons and his Team, along with TOC and Parkwest Hospital, gave me the best experience possible with my Bi-Lateral Knee Replacement Surgery! When I found out I needed both knees replaced, Dr. Parsons helped me find the best solution for my situation. We decided to do both knees at once – it was the best choice for me and at no time during my recovery did I regret doing it. It was not easy and even scary at times, but every person involved gave me the support I needed. From start to finish, I cannot think of anything that would have made this a better experience and I cannot recommend them enough!Gina Warwick

Went to see Dr Parsons and after a wait, he came in and apologized for being late due to the office being busy. He came in, and after hearing my complaints about my knee, advised what the issue could be, scheduled an MRI and offered a solution to the problem. What I was impressed with was his knowledge about what the problem might be and the made me feel extremely comfortable with him. Thank you Dr. Parsons for being an excellent doctor and making me feel at ease about my issue.Jesse Calloway

Had spinal steroid injections for back pain. Dr. Yoakum explained what would happen during procedure and timeframe for maximum benefits. Procedure had minimal discomfort and took less than 10 minutes. My questions were answered. Very pleased with level of care. Only negative was this injection was the first time I had met Dr. Yoakum. Would have preferred to meet and discuss details ahead of time. (I did meet his PA for initial diagnosis and was pleased).James Donnelly

I had an MRI on my hip (with contrast) and Dr. Yoakum performed the injection. I barely felt a thing! He is incredible! He’s so sweet and gentle and soft spoken. I really love this man! He made me feel so at ease. I will never let another doctor do my injections for contrast. Overall, TOCDOCS is the BEST!!Cookie Jones

Dr Yoakum did the injection for my hip MRA yesterday. Was super informative, kind and compassionate. I was really nervous. He and the tech were both singing along with a song on the radio and it really did help me relax. I would definitely recommend him and would see him again personally.vicki ogle

On my first visit I was seen by Dr. Branham and he was excellent. He was very attentive and listened and then gave options for treatment. I really liked him and his staff. I felt like he cared and took the time to handle my concerns or questions. My follow up visit was with his PA Vance. I was suprised at how different he was than Dr. Branham. I waited 40 minutes after sitting in the exam room and when he entered he did not tell me who he was until half way into his lecture. He did not listen but talked at me the whole time. He told me 2 times that my trigger finger could be related to many things including my weight and eating too much cake. I am a bit heavy but the funny thing is I'm very healthy overall for my age and he never asked me if I was working on it or if i was trying to lose weight…just told me to not eat so much cake. I didn't have a chance to talk at all because he had no interest in listening to anything I had to say. If I have to go back I will not agree to see him and I am sure he is a very smart person but I really hope that he learns that people respond much better when they feel you care about them and all I learned was that he cared more about hearing himself talk.Patricia Robertson

Excellent!! If there were more stars, I would rate Dr. Branham the highest possible. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of the surgery he performed on my left hand! Dr. Branham was/is very caring, very personable, easy to understand and genuinely interested in me as a person and as his patient.Thank you very much, Dr. Branham! I was treated in the Oak Ridge TN office. His staff is superb! Everyone is friendly and they work together as an efficient team, from front reception to those treating. Thank you very much to all of them! Jenny Pugh, a Certified Hand Therapist, is absolutely the VERY BEST! I would rate her the highest number of stars possible also. It is to Jenny that I owe my successful recovery in the full use of my hand following surgery. She knows exactly what to do and how to set the course. She is very easy to understand so that her patients are able to perform the exercises she prescribes. Thank you very much, Jenny!Natalie Paret

I first met with Dr. Branham’s PA Vance, he listened to why I came in to see the Dr. then arranged for my x-rays. After the X-rays were completed Dr Branham took his time to listen to my concerns, explained the X-rays, and answered my questions, helping me to understand the options I have to choose from. He realized I was overwhelmed with the choices & the decision I needed to make & suggested I think it over, bring my husband in & let him go over it with the both of us. It is refreshing to have a Dr. who really cares for his patients. If given the opportunity I will highly recommend him.WayneNJonetta Barnett

I highly recommend BenchMark Physical Therapy in Farragut for anyone who wants to optimize their quality of life with exercise, amazing hands-on care, and patient education. From the time I walked in there until the time I graduated from my therapy sessions I was met with nothing but kindness, respect, and a surprising sense of family from the awesome staff that work there. The office staff are very kind as well. They all take the time to get to know you even if they have no part in your specific treatment. My Physical Therapist was Taylor, the clinic director. He was great! He worked with me really hard, to the point where I was drenched with sweat after every session, but I'm thankful for that because I have come out of physical therapy more confident that my physical issue has been greatly minimized and will not need surgery. Watching all of the staff talk with one another you get a real sense that they love what they do and love working together as a team. Everyone there is treated equally and with respect and treats you like family. It's really rare to find a group of healthcare professions that don't treat you as just a number. I'm honestly going to miss them.Matthew Smith

Not yet finished with my PT but wanted to write a review on the tremendous amount of progress I have made since seeing the BenchMark team in Farragut. I tore my peroneal tendon while running back early January and have had a very slow recovery until I started going to BenchMark. The ankle injury had thrown off my gait cycle and caused a plethora of issues with my feet, ankles, knees and lower back. I have been able to walk since April but with pain in every step. After being with BenchMark for about 5 weeks now I am able to walk longer and with much less pain. But the real progress was noticed this past weekend when I took my 2 year old son for a walk around the park. We had our usual weekend routine to do a lap around the park with our dogs but that was quickly interrupted when I injured my ankle. But this past weekend I was able to pick up the routine and even surprised myself halfway through the walk because I didn't even think about 1. how far I have walked and 2. that we have missed our 1 on 1 walks for so long but here we were back at it again. Thank you BenchMark of Farragut for helping me move again and most of be able to chase my little man around the park.Alex Espinoza

BenchMark in Farragut is absolutely amazing. Every single person from the staff that make appointments and sign you in to the therapists and even the assistant trainees was professional, caring, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Susan and Taylor were the two therapists that I worked with and they were the best I have ever experienced by far. I have been to therapy for sciatica, my knees, my shoulder and my arm. We used to live in Alexandria, VA and I was in 3 different locations and my husband was in several others and we find BenchMark superior in every way to all the others. I would recommend them to anyone who has PT needs. I will be forever grateful that my knee surgeon recommended them and I will go nowhere else.Val Gass

As locals of Sevier County it was important to us to find an insurance company that shared our values and loved the area just as much as we do that is just what Dustin Morton does. He truly loves our county and the people in it. His hard work and dedication to make sure you have a valued experience shines through each time we need to make changes or ask any questions. Reach out to him for all your insurance needs, I assure you will be taken care of with Dustin.Shandi Maples

Nick, made my process of changing insurance companies, super easy, fast, and affordable! My husband and I were able to save over $300 on our policies between the two of us. I would most certainly recommend, others to our local, Seymour Tn, Farm Bureau, office! He was also very kind, as if we have known each other for a very long time. Thanks so much for all of your help, Mr.Nick! We will see you soon!Melanie Smith

Dustin Morton with Farm Bureau Seymour TN has been my agent for many years. He is very professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond to any questions or needs. He makes you feel like family. I would not ever change my insurance from Farm Bureau because of him. He is Awesome!!! Thank you Dustin Morton for all you do.Barbara Herron

I have had so many doctors over the years have made it such a terrible experience. Koc rocks like a super 🌟. Beautiful new building, staff very friendly. Lori is a pro at her job. You want a bad doctor. If you want to be treated like poop by the owners. Try dealing with Associsated Pain Specialists. Dr. Beth is really full of herself. Dr. Ivey is really good with his patients. Would tell you we are really lucky to have this place and staff here in Knoxville. ! I worded in therapy and rehab. I need my hands for my job. I am in pain tonight. Second surgery today. Try them for very good care!!!!Jamie Jones

I broke my arm the week before my wedding which obviously incited a lot of panic. Dr. Ivy performed surgery on Monday, I walked down the aisle, and hit the dance floor in a cast and sling on Saturday. The medical care I received was top-notch and prompt, but what stood out to me about Dr. Ivy and his staff was how positive they were. They were all sympathetic to my situation and everyone was working to keep my spirits high while fixing my injury. I strongly recommend trusting this kind, passionate, and skillful team of physicians with whatever problem you’re facing. Thank you Dr. Ivy and KOC!Lillian Bertelkamp

Dr Ivy is wonderful. He explained Thoroughly to my grandson his thumb injury. How it would affect his future hand movement if left unattended as well as what the surgery would allow for him. That is to return to a normal hand moment. My grrandson is an upcoming High School Senior. A very important year in life. I’m thankful for the great medical attention Dr Ivy and his staff provided.India Smith

Everything you would hope for in a doctor. Dr Ivie came Highly recommended to me by peers in his field, I was not disappointed. Attention to what I was dealing with, thorough explanation of possible courses of treatment, and the first action proved effective. Top all that the appointment was fairly quick, there was very little waiting to get back to the exam room and x-Ray. The entire staff from receptionist to techs and nurses were professional and friendly. Easy to recommendBob Gillespie

Seamless experience! When you have an injury, you know you're going to have to revisit the office multiple times, but you never know how things will go each time. Every visit to TOC brought us in contact with efficient, competent staff, from the front desk to radiology to exam room to cast room. Dr Renfree and George did a great job of explaining, informing, and letting us know what to expect, and they have super support from start to finish.Amy Preuss

As usual, they were running way behind. But there are 2 reasons the docs at this place run behind: 1.) They are good so they are in demand. 2.) They take their time with their patients and answer all questions. Doc Renfree is incredible. A real, down to earth, blunt speaking, honest to goodness human being who I’d drink a beer with on a Sunday and let cut on me on a Tuesday.Kacy Greene

My name is Kris Koehne, Ph.D. I had an appointment with Dr. Burns last week. Dr. Burns completed surgery on my right thumb last September. I went to see Dr. Burns because, during the past 3 months, i have been experiencing increased levels of pain in my right thumb. Dr. Burns greeted me with a big welcoming smile, which set the stage for a pleasant visit. We agreed on the medical protocol of Dr. Burns administrating me an injection of steroid to reduce the inflammation and pain of surrounding nerves. An exception skill that few doctors do, but Dr. Burns always does it: before Dr. Burns even touches my right thumb and hand, he tells me what is coming next. For example, during the injection, Dr. Burns said, "Your going to feel a little pain." Then He said, "You will feel some pressure. Next, I am going to pull on your right thumb, but just relax your thumb and do not try to resist my pull. Now, a bit more feelings of pressure. And now we are done". Before Dr. Burns did anything to me, he explained what he was going to do next! Now, this professional skill of informing patients *before* anything is done, is to me, the highest level of mature, experienced, professional moral and ethical standards, bar none!! Dr.Burns, MD, stands tall on my ladder of professional integrity and character, because he sincerely cares for his patients. Plus, Dr. Burns has quite the sense of humor.. and, i have never met Dr. Burns wife, but i know she really loves her husband… and enjoys buying him unique and quaint socks…Cricket123 Wireless

TOC has been the BEST doctors of any kind I've seen recently. They got me in quick! The staff and nurses are very kind and helpful. Dr. Wilson Grover Chase was AMAZING! Such an outgoing, happy and very knowledgeable doctor. He actually sat and listened to me and explained everything to me in terms I could understand. Lately all Dr. Offices are short staffed and rushed, and I understand their frustration…but with that said they are also very rude and unpleasant to deal with. It seems they are too rushed to hear anything you wish to say and too high upon their horses to try to explain things to their patients. Anymore it's just a job for money, their patients are just an income, therefore they do not care about their patients any longer. So yes it was nice to finally find one that seemed to care and listen! I'd recommend Wilson Grover Chase 10/10 to anyone seeking an orthopedic. He went above and beyond to make my visit pleasant. TOC was also fast to make my second appointment!Crystal Curry

Over the years I have seen many orthopedic surgeons has every major joint has been replaced in my body. Most of the time I get just good care. I can honestly say that with Tennessee orthopedic The care that I have received across-the-board has been stellar. I met Dr. Reagan yesterday I was overjoyed with the conversation that we had because he took me seriously. I am a 70 year old woman and I’m still very athletically inclined and at this stage of the game I am rarely taken seriously until I start coming in with Athletic injuries. I ride a motorcycle aggressively about 30,000 miles a year and I have no desire to stop. Dr. Reagan did not look at me like I’ve lost my mind but we talked rationally about a surgical solution for my broken ankle that I received riding a bike and I was so pleased with the conversation I can’t begin to tell you. If I could get 10 stars for Dr. Reagan I would do itSuzan Obrien

The waiting room and girls at the front desk were very pleasant in the Sevierville office. The wait time was minimal. Dr Vincent and her assistant are amazing it was a pleasure having a conversation with Dr Vincent I was not even aware of the injection from her assistant. Both very professional removed the cyst from my scalp was very thorough about what my follow-up would be at home. Very much appreciated them taking as much time as they did. I absolutely would recommend this office to my family and friends.carmel Zarisky

Dr. Kimberly Vincent was THE BEST PHYSICIAN EXPERIENCE my husband and I have ever had in our 40+ years together. Also, her staff is amazing in too many was to mention. Our world needs more physicians like Dr. Vincent who TRULY care! Her love for her patients and people shines through her sweet, bubbly, compassionate personality. She is a true blessing to the medical profession!Julie Latham

I had my first appointment with Angela Smith at Knoxville Dermatology Group at the Sevierville Office. I must say she was amazing. She was very professional and thorough. Any questions I had she answered and made me feel very comfortable. Very thankful nothing serious was found and look forward to following up in one year. Everyone at the office was very friendly and professional.Donna Arwood Gann

I underwent a recent procedure to have a skin lipoma removed on the forearm region of my arm. I noticed on the second day post-operativly that my sutures appeared extremely tight and my incision was healing in a way that I had extra skin making a “dog ear” effect at the end of my incision site. I immediately scheduled an appointment to get in to have it reassessed by their office to be sure that the sutures didn’t need to be adjusted because of how the skin was healing. They proceeded to tell me everything was fine. When I went in for my two week postop suture removal, the nurse practitioner was very apologetic on how bad the incision looked and also her assistant was having severe difficulty getting the sutures out because they were so tight. Before leaving, I asked to speak to Dr. Overholt to show her how bad the incision still looked and how the skin on the end looked terrible. I didn’t want her to make the same mistake with somebody else. Dr. Overholt refused and said that they were too busy. (It literally would have only taken 2 min of her time and it was 11:55, right before they’d lunch break) They offered for me to schedule another day (and another co-pay I’m sure) to come in to have her look at it. It was very upsetting because my arm now looks very mutilated from her poor suturing job. The failure on her behalf to even take into consideration my concern and take a look at it while I was there today was very upsetting. I will not be returning to The Skin Wellness Center because of her lack of compassion for her patients. I do not recommend using her for any type of surgery.It’s a shame because her nurse practitioners are wonderful and I have always been very happy with them. Dr Overholt needs to work on her bedside manner and find her compassion for her patients. So upsetting.Karen Hash

My daughter plays basketball and had a major flare up with her eczema to the point of blisters and bleeding on her hands. She was miserable and needed to be seen asap. Dr. Grande and her staff got her in immediately and we were treated with nothing but respect and kindness. We are in between insurances right now so my daughter didn’t have coverage at the time. Dr Grande took the time to sit down and pull up medications and prices on good rx for us. And she also coded the appointment the lowest she could so we wouldn’t be hit with a high payment. We were met with many smiles from the time we walked into the door until we left. We are already seeing some improvement on our daughters hands. Thank you Dr. Grande and staff for a wonderful experience. ~ The Runkles FamilyKaty Trentham

I have unfortunately had multiple small pieces of my skin removed. Luckily! Nothing bad gas come from those pieces and were not cancerous. I am very glad that I have chosen this office for my dermatology needs. Everyone there is extremely kind. I have asked for an extra person to be in the room to hold my hand when it comes to shots because they have to numb the area and nobody has ever made fun of me for being scared. They are caring and have always been there when needed. I really appreciate what you guys do. I recommend this place to anyone who has skin issues or need an exam!Emmalee Bradley

I went in for chest and throat issues and this was just a great experience (for being a Dr visit 😊). When I say the entire staff was a complete joy I truly mean it. The receptionists were actually having a good time talking with patients and with each other which gave me a really calm feeling. The nurse was great and caring and the Doctor well, she was awesome! She informed me of the super high pollen count this year which hadn’t normally affected me but, this year was different. This was my first visit there and I highly recommend this walk in clinic.james gordon

Yesterday was a horrible experience because the doctor filling in would not listen to me & wanted to talk over me & send me by ambulance to ER, which I'm 60 & know my body. So, I left & went home. I called back today & Michelle asked me to come back in, so I did because regular doctor was there. Michelle, receptionist, & Dr. Janet were awesome! I had a rash from cucumbers, they gave me a steroid injection & I'm already not itching & no longer breathing erratic. Thank you & God bless you all so much.Connie Goddard

Highly impressed with the cleanliness, the efficiency of check in, the friendliness of the nurses and staff and the knowledgeable providers. I felt like they listened carefully and made a solid treatment plan. My child was pretty sick and had us very worried, but is now on the mend thanks to their care. I would highly recommend this urgent care and would like to send special thanks to their physician’s assistant, David. We received excellent care.Sara Westfield

Friendly staff, outstanding surgeon, provided a clear explanation of my procedure with printed images of my MRI for me to keep. Other Knoxville physicians have told me that they would choose Dr Spencer if they needed shoulder surgery. Also, he and his P.A., Mr Jarnigen, and their scheduling secretary all work together as a team. I can recommend them without reservation.Mark LeMay

Dr Spencer was extremely informative and spoke to me not at me. I had been apprehensive as I needed a full reverse shoulder replacement and this is my first Ortho procedure. I am 3 weeks post surgery I am thrilled with the results. Dr Spencer came highly recommend and is highly regarded in his field. I would recommend Dr. Spencer and his team for any proceduresMary Ball

Dr.Spencer has excellent patient interaction skills. He is interested in the problem the patient is experiencing. You never feel like he is making an appearance and trying to get out. He takes as much time as he and the patient need to fully understand the patient’s problem and explain the solution. Very refreshing.james wiggins

I often get emails and letters in the mail from other ins companies but I will never leave Farm Bureau..I feel like family there as far as when you need something they are immediately there to help you..I can pick up the phone and call my agent Kelley Jarnigan and say "Hey Kelley its Casey and I need help" and she automatically knows who I am and is always so helpful and or so quick to get back to me with an answer or often multiple answers..I feel she goes above and beyond to help you with things that sometimes do not fall into her job description..Yes there is Jake from State Farm but then there is better which is Kelley from Farm Bureau!Casey C Mixon

I purchased a home in Powell Tennessee while still residing in California…our lender suggested contacting the FBI, no not the Federal bureau..the Farm bureau insurance folks for our home insurance. So glad we did and I believe we hit a homerun or should I say scored a touchdown (we are in Big Orange country now)…when we got Kelley Jarnigan as our agent…everything was done over the phone…quickly and professionally. We were so impressed that we have decided to have Kelly and the FBI cover our automobile insurance needs! Go VOLS!Timothy Laster

We are moving to East TN and wanted to keep our Farm Bureau Insurance. Kelley Jarnigan came highly recommended by our current agent and she is wonderful, along with her team! Very thorough, responsive and professional — in addition, Kelley is just an overall nice person (bonus points)!Meg Bayless Lockhart

I was seen at Karns Chiropractic this week for an adjustment. Let me start off by saying the office is so inviting, neat and clean. I love the decorations. The staff and doctor was also Amazing. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant. The Chiropractor bedside manner was awesome. He and his staff listened attentively to my needs and I walked out of the office feeling like a brand new person. I highly recommend Karns Chiropractic Center to anyone looking for an Amazing Chiropractor and staff. LakeishaAkj Jones

I've gone to a chiropractor for years. I try to go every 6 to 8 weeks just to keep in line. Dr. Kelley was very thorough for my initial exam. He questioned me about any problems that I've had in the past. He was also very patient and explained completely what he was going to do and why. He was not rough like some other chiropractors I've visited. I highly recommend him especially for someone that has never been before.Kevin Hanneken

Awesome service and last minute! My son needed immediate attention as we were going out of town for baseball and he was locked up in his hip after a morning workout. They made it happen last minute and Clay was able to play every game! I highly recommend Dr. Chris Kelly and Karns Chiropractic!Mark Travis

This was my first visit to Dermatology Associates of Knoxville and I have to say I was pleased with my visit. I saw one of the Physician Assistants, Blake Childress, and totally felt that I was in good hands. I appreciated his honest and caring demeanor as he removed a spot on my nose for biopsy. He listened to any concerns and addressed them in a very professional way. I highly recommend giving them a try.Lezlee Byrd

I was very anxious going into my appointment. My whole team which included Cassandra, PA Blake Childress, and a student was AMAZING. They put me at ease, told me I was doing great with the numbing shot, and were super encouraging since they knew I was nervous. Skin check was super thorough. Excellent experience from the check in at reception through my check out. Thank you all!!!Jennifer Farmer

This was my first visit with Dr. Ergen. She was very thoughtful and knowledgeable. Dr. Ergen is willing to go beyond the average doctor to find solutions to my medical situation. It’s difficult to find the perfect doctor, but I do believe I have found one and look forward to working with her for the next few years.Sue Ha
