20 Best Radiology Programs In Knoxville, TN (2022 Updated)

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.

I am in the Pharmacy Tech program and I am totally LOVING it! I have never been so happy to be doing my school work. Even though we are currently doing things online, due to COVID-19, Mrs. Hope is doing everything she can to help us understand the material we are learning! I've never had a more interactive teacher! 10/10 recommend this school! The staff is great. From the time I asked for more information on the school till my first day I had weekly check-ins with people from the campus! I have applied at a few colleges and none of them were as interested in communicating with me like Fortis!! 🙂 If your looking for a school that is super friendly and will help you with anything Fortis of Cookville is your school! They even helped me with my financial aid!! 🙂Kaylie Hickman

I am graduating shortly from the HVAC program and I have enjoyed every night of it. The course is set up to help you succeed and the instructors make sure that you have the information needed and understand it well. Unlike some programs Fortis has a lab with 7 fully functional heating and cooling units. During the course of the program you get the opportunity to see first hand how they should work and also what happens when they don't work. I graduate in roughly a month and I can honestly say that this program has more than prepared me for a long successful career in this field.Logan Selby

Just weeks from graduating from HVAC program and must say it has been not only a magnificent educational program with the greatest instructors possible for the program but a phenomenal amount of knowledge gained for a wonderful career path. Instructors are above and beyond with their background in the field, their knowledge of both theory and hands on demonstrations as an excellent form of instruction, and their full dedication and passion for teaching proper skills and ethics of the trade. I would highly recommend this course and school to anyone and everyone.Ace Sharpshoote

The teachers are honest, they keep you in check on working for the goal which is to graduate. I’m so thankful for this experience and the opportunity to go threw the program. I can honestly say I’ve made life long friends. Chenny you’ll be missed so much. You had me in tears today. Danielle you’re an incredible soul and so motivating, Wendy so soft spoken but with a heart of gold. All 3 of you ladies have made this such a rewarding journey and I can’t thank you enough.Tennessee Team

I have recently went through the RDA program at this school, and i have to say it was probably one of the best decisions i have ever made for myself! The instructors are amazing. They are accommodative and want to see everyone succeed, and will do everything in their power to help anyone! The group of instructors, the friends will you make and all the resources you will gain is astonishing. This school was truly life changing in the best possible way!hailey walden

Loved the instructors! Loved the classes and the days of class worked very well with my schedule and my family! Thanks for everything!!! This Prepared me to get in the field and start my career! Mrs. Chenny among other instructors was so wonderful and the best!! Helped with everything I needed and went above and beyond!JeanAnn Smith

For the price of this school.. it was not worth it. Save your money and go to a community college ESPECIALLY if you’re coming here for dental assisting as you'll get the same if not better equipment. The 6 week unpaid externship is a huge issue in my opinion. It could be shortened to two weeks. During covid it was hard enough financially and they want you to leave your main job to go work for an office unpaid for 6 weeks full time. The career services person I had did not have any actual interest in helping, just ignoring any serious issues you have (making you stay at an extern site which is over an hour driving distance because she couldn't "find" any other place for you to go). They just want you to graduate to make themselves look like a good school, they do not care if you are having trouble with your extern site either even after being horribly disrespected by the employees on that extern site.(Dentist yelling at you, throwing stuff, extremely hostile environment). In all honesty if the career services actually showed that they cared, it would've made a big difference in how I viewed this school in the end. But they seem to have a high turnover rate with their staffing in general.M

Let me start off by saying that this rating is not a reflection of your instructors and the career services people. This is a refection of the school. The curriculum along with the homework load are not well planned out. You don't have the best of materials to work with. The tuition is absurd! Having that much money coming in, why is there not adequate materials and more up to date things to work with, such as more Dexter heads? I feel like certain things are just designed for you to not do as well as you could. Again, very expensive school for you to not have everything available to you. My education in this profession is super important, you're not gonna get far with out it. Thank goodness for those instructors though, their experience and their scenarios will help you to understand what that crazy dental book tries to explain to you. I feel like the knowledge I learned will help me get by, but you don't spend enough time on each unit to know and understand it fully. I don't want the instructors or some of the others that work there to get a low star rating, because they don't deserve it in anyway.Christen Padgett

The school is AMAZING! HIGHLY recommend going to this center to receive education in the medical field. As a former student, i have first hand experience with every person in the facility. Ms. Thomas, the assistant director and instructor is very kind and gives a ton of insight on what exactly you are to expect in the career. Mr. Moe, he is the career adviser and he helps really really well with getting you prepared for your career goals and will get you into your extern-ship. he also is very caring about your needs and goals. Every teacher, office personnel and Directors are very caring, respectful and a great role-model while looking into joining the medical field. Ross Medical Education Center is the school to go to when you want to learn the trade and want to get in and have some fun along the way.Brittany Haese

We have had two really great experiences here. One was when my husband twisted his ankle really bad. We just recently moved here and weren’t sure where to go. We saw this online and came here to get an x-ray to make sure it wasn’t broken. The staff was extremely helpful and he was taken back after only a couple minutes of waiting. It turns out it was just a bad twist. The second time that we came here was for my son who ended up having strep throat. Again, they got us back to the room quickly, talked to us about what was going on and then did a couple of swabs. After the 15 minute wait for the swabs, They came back in To tell us he tested positive for strep. He had a small reaction to the anabiotic‘s and when I called back to see if I should do anything different they were very responsive and eager to help solve the problem. I will definitely be going back here if we need anything medically. These were two of the smoothest doctor visits that we’ve ever had. Everyone was very kind and helpful! Thank you fast pace urgent careJillian Gann

Was glad to try this place being new to the area and all the good reviews but we Made an appointment for my daughter at 1120 and Got there at 1050. We Waited an hour and a half or more and left. I Saw people come in and leave before us when we had an “appointment” and a few of the people said they didn’t have an appointment yet still got called back before us. Don’t recommend this place unless you don’t have anything else to do except sit around for hours past your “appointment” time.A M

Excellent, efficient and quick! All of the staff were awesome. The check in process is super easy. Everyone there was very kind and patient. I had an infected dog bite. I was petrified of having it opened and drained. The PA who took care of me did amazing with the treatment. He was so gentle while taking care of this very sensitive issue. I'll most definitely return there without hesitation when next I need some fast, superb medical care. Thank you!Kat Price

Dr. Testerman is an orthopedic surgeon I highly trust and respect. My husband severed a finger 20 years ago and she successfully sewed it back on. Years later, he broke his little toe nearly off and she shishkabobbed it with a long rod all through the toe bones into the foot and it healed beautifully. I just recently fractured the fibula in my ankle and she very professionally treated it without surgery and it's doing very well. I referred my 93 yr old mom to her for a 2nd opinion when a podiatrist had scheduled to amputate 2 of her toes. Dr. Testerman is helping us try to save the toes and avoid surgery. She is a very knowledgeable, skilled and very experienced doctor who will tell you like it is very directly but will not dismiss you or brush you off and will not just take everybody she sees into surgery whether it's needed or not. Highly recommend.Anne Logan

I had a bad fall this week requiring emergency surgery on my ankle. Dr Testerman tried to get me in for surgery the very same day I saw her, it was only the next day bc of rooms….still super fast! She has been kind and wonderful through the whole process and is SO knowledgeable and skillful! Everyone from reception to the RNs have been great and shown me extra patience and mercy while I have been a terrified mess….I shouldn’t have worried a bit, the whole process has been a piece of pain free cake thanks to Dr Testerman and her staff! Please trust her with your foot/ankle injury, you won’t regret it! Do yourself a favor and don’t worry like I did…she’s got you!Heather Fonville

Dr. Testerman is one of the best doctors I have ever met. Not only is she quick, prompt, and informative she is kind, thoughtful, and put me at complete ease. I have had the best experience with her as my doctor and I am so grateful! I broke my toe and she performed a surgery to correct it. The surgery went seamlessly and got have never been so happy. Also the entire staff at KOC was INCREDIBLE! Everyone is so friendly and nice and it’s so refreshing to have such an amazing experience when something so bad has happened!Heather McGlinchy

I ONLY recommend them IF they start enforcing their policies, setting a good example and are more responsible when it comes to the patients health. I was impressed with the facility and staff the moment we walked the door. The staff was friendly and expedient. That all ended when my husband was taken in for his MRI. I was waiting just outside the room when another person came for testing. I heard the tech tell him to take his mask off and lay it on the table with his other items. Immediately I realized my husband may not have a mask on. I asked a tech and she informed me he did not. I told her I needed him to wear a mask. She acted indifferent and I repeated myself more firmly. She had him put it on. My husband takes meds to relax him before procedures such as an MRI. He is claustrophobic. So he was loopy and didn't comprehend things well. He did whatever he was told. My husband is older and immuno-compromised. He also is still recuperating from both COVID and pneumonia. He had both at the same time. His lungs can not handle another illness as he may not recover from it. For him to be in a medical facility with no mask is crazy. The staff knew he was still recuperating and had been ill because I told them and I'd had to reschedule 4 times. The tech's response when I questioned the mask issue was; "We clean the rooms and tables after each person". Yes, but you aren't sanitizing the air. People have coughed, breathed their germs openly, germs my husband was breathing in. And the tech in the front pointed to my cloth mask and told me (not so nicely) that my mask wasn't doing any good. I posted out that I had a respiratory mask underneath. "Oh" was her response. They want you to wear a mask upon entering the door yet have you take it off. This makes zero sense. Also, most of the staff I saw were either wearing a mask incorrectly (not covering the nose) or not wearing one at all. This is not safe. These are SUPPOSED to be medical professionals. Yet they did not act as such or set a good example. I am praying my husband does not get ill again. If he does I'll know where he got it as he does not go anywhere else but the doctors since being ill.JENNIFER LYTLE

This happened just today over the phone. Everybody I have great / good credit. Never in my adult years been in collections. I was told today I was and listen to the amount and timing. $78 and some change. Now here is the situation of how the bill was being sent over and over again. This is there billing issue and not mine. They sent the bill to me multiple times and I had to call my insurance to say is this correct. My insurance said it isn't and called them multiple times. I was then told by ODC and my insurance company to disregard this bill and wait until the new bill comes in the mail. This happened twice and it took multiple months for the new bills to come in the mail. When the third bill came. I paid a payment and then another which leaves this amount I said. Because they took so long to get me the correct bill in the mail, they sent me to collections for this amount. The last bill was sent to me in July, so no it's not years past due. I called to ask and say I would make payments, they said no problem. The bill is paid in full now. I will not be using this facility again. If you have good credit, go some place else. Someone else on here talks about the rudeness, they are telling the truth. The one with the darkest hair behind the counter is so rude / cold. She might have a problem with people that do not have her skin color. I stood there waiting for her to acknowledge me, she acted like I wasn't standing there. Someone came out of the back and acknowledge that I was standing there. Go some place else people, you're likely to get humane treatment.Peanut Smith

Hi I hope anyone who read this post are doing great. Well I just want to make a comment about this place, the thing was that I went there for some exams that I need to get done, but before I get the appointment to do it, I did ask for a price on it because they are expensive and I try to find out where can I get the best price for it. Anyway I call this place and I find out that they will give me a better price. But after I have the appointment and start receiving the bills I find out that they charge me more that what they tell me that first time. I want to be clear about this I did ask about the price few time to make sure about it. So if you will like to use this clinic first be very sure about what they will going to charge you, because in the end probably will be the price that you will pay in the clinic next to you in you will not have to spend time and gas going to this place.Moises Garcia

I’ve been bringing my mom here for treatments since April, and they have been absolutely amazing! Everyone that we have interacted with has been so full of love and have been so wonderful at encouraging and giving us hope! They are so compassionate and really take the time to get to know their patients. From the moment we come through the doors to get our temperatures checked with Don and Debbie, to the wonderful receptionists at each window (I don’t know all of your names but I know that mom loves Ms. Britany’s wonderful spirit back in radiation), to the encouraging, upbeat nurses in chemo and radiation and Sydney M. who we know we can call if we need something, and the wonderful doctors (Dr. Clark and Dr. Wheeler), everyone really shows that they CARE! My mother was diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer earlier this year, and although that news had the potential to terrify us all, God has blessed us every step of the way in this journey, which has given us HOPE! He has put people in our lives that has spoken life into us all. My mother has kept a smile on her face during one of the most trying times of her life, and one of the reasons for that smile is the wonderful people here at the cancer treatment center! She actually looks forward to coming to see the people here. None of us know what tomorrow might bring, but when the people of today share their joy and hope with you and encourage you, it gives you hope and expectation for the future! So thank you to EVERYONE at Thompson Cancer Survival Center for the hope that you spread to the people that you are caring for!! We should all strive to be more like this daily in everything we do. ❤️Heather Overbay

Worst medical facility I've ever dealt with. They botched my appointment by accidentally canceling it and I didn't find out until I showed up for my appointment. Apparently it was a computer error or glitch and they did nothing to fix it. Than when it was rescheduled they said they hadn't received the doctor's order even though my doctor had proof of facing it over. So I had to reschedule it elsewhere since they kept saying they didn't get the doctor's order. Very poor management and office communication. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go through this officeCarol C.

Rebecca (receptionist at the downtown location) is awesome. Today she went above and beyond to check on something for me. The whole staff is great, compassionate and professional. But my hat goes off to Rebecca. Thank you so much.Denise Stinnett

After having 4 procedures at KOC (both feet, knee and hip) I am very impressed with the casual professional attitudes and performance of everyone I came in contact with starting with scheduling, surgical intake, OR staff, both pre-op and post surgical nursing. The facility was clean, comfortable and staff was very efficient. I would highly recommend both the facility and surgeon's to all that ask. I recommend Dr's Testerman and Nadaud to everyone looking for excellence.Roger Molina

You would think being a professional you would understand how painful carpal tunnel is. I rated my pain being a 10 especially at night when it keeps me up crying. I am not searching for pain pills but the doctor didn’t seem to care much about me being in pain did not offer any type of relief whatsoever. Hopefully this process goes quick because I feel like cutting my hands off at this pointZach Morrisey

Dr. Gaylord is amazing esp with kids he makes the visit fun and not so scary for the kids. He jokes with the kids and has a special way with them. He also tries every to help the kids. If you child is hurt and you want the best and kindest Dr for them go to Dr. GaylordMechelle Kist

So far, the nurses and providers here have been very knowledgeable and professional. However, the front desk staff has ALOT of room for improvement!!! When I arrived for check in, I was ignored while one of the employees walked away from the desk to engage in a personal conversation which could be heard from where I was standing. They were NOT busy. I was the only person waiting for assistance. One of the other employees was sitting there drinking a beverage and having lunch, and seemed disinterested in doing her job. When I walked up to the desk, I was not even greeted. Rather I was treated as a burden and an inconvenience. She did not smile or even say hello. Instead she was just looking at, and typing away on her computer screen. I finally asked "is there a problem". She said know. She seemed unsure on how to do her job. She had to ask someone else for assistance. The other lady was equally as rude and unprofessional. And she kept stating that my upcoming appointment was strictly for the injection, which I was already aware of, and had agreed to. So, I'm not sure what the problem is!! Anyway, I observed other clients from a different background than mine being treated in a much more courteous and professional manner. So, the optics on this clearly reveal some discrimination issues. Clearly, it depends on who you are as to what level of care you will receive. I waited for over 30 minutes for the provider with no explanation or apology. As I am a new patient here, I am considering just canceling the appointments for my injections and going elsewhere.Belar Hunt

The Staff and Doctors are good listeners and take good notes as my experience has left me very impressed with their remembering things we spoke about several visits earlier. I also appreciate the fact that they are not a pill mill and hold a good reputation in our area. Having gone through the initial screening I am confident that those just looking for pills will not get them. I have done my best to do everything they have ask me to do and their appreciation of my efforts has been a positive influence on managing my pain responsibly. With the use of pain medications comes a great responsibility. I thank them every day for helping me to be more active and healthier.James Pierce

My regular physician referred me here after 4 months of getting shoved from two different Drs concerning my neck and shoulder. One Dr said it was my shoulder and that this pain was just my life now and sent me on my way and the other said it was from my neck. Finally after months my physician referred me, something my neck Dr should have done. Everyone I’ve seen there has been great. I’ve followed their rules and trusted their guidance in getting me better and now I’m finally having surgery. I wish all Drs listened to their patients like they do here. God has blessed this place most definitely!!Emily Roberts

Due to my family history, I go here yearly for my screenings. This year I had to have a biopsy which KCBC did same day. The front desk and the technicians all did a great job in my opinion. This year because of the pandemic and the fact that I work in the public sector I already knew that the wait time would be longer due to social distancing. The waiting area has multiple chairs turned for non use to facilitate social distancing as well as sanitizer and signs that say wear masks and that wait times are long due to Covid. I applaud you for the communication. I think it is best to arrive on time despite the wait because if your late your not registered as there and being early is unwise due to Covid and extended waiting. The pros are you get same day results from the best imaging options, equipment and physicians, and the cons are you wait for it and then you wait some more. Since this is so important to me but not an IMMEDIATE medical emergency I would say the wait is worth it. You could wait 3 to 5 hours in a hospital emergency room for something immediately life threatening also. I appreciate the fact that there are so many women like I who need to know results regardless of the pandemic and I applaud the workers at KCBC and want them to know they are ESSENTIAL to me. Thank you so much and I am sorry the wait times are such an inconvenience to both your staff and the patients but there are definitely those of us who WILL be patient, be thankful and will be back each year. For those of you that feel that waiting 2 to 3 hours is too long, go somewhere else that has older technology and has a cut off on patients, days or even weeks for results and will reschedule you over and over to do different procedures.Tracy Brook

I had a wonderful first time experience today. I’m under 40 so I was terrified walking in but everyone on staff was so sweet and explanatory. The staff was communicative the entire time and kept us posted on wait time along the way. They were swamped but compassionate. I’m only giving this a 4/5 because when I received my welcome packet it listed two appointments with “15 mins” per Appt respectively at 8am and 8:15am. I’ve been here for 3 hours now so that was quite off and I had to arrange for additional childcare during that time mid-appointment. I’m only writing this review to bring it to light and perhaps welcome packets can be adjusted to maintain realistic expectations and allow for childcare arrangements ahead of time. Since this was a referral I had no idea how long to expect other than what was written in their published welcome kit. I am completely and totally understanding of how Covid has increased wait times, I just wish I could have planned better coming in the first time. Again, wonderful experience otherwise.Kara McFarland

I took my elderly mother in for her annual mammogram. She is also visually impaired so I have to fill out her paperwork for her. It's a challenge to get her in & out of places because she has to use a walker and sometimes a wheelchair. The young woman that took us into her cubicle to go over mom's information and to get the necessary signatures was rude, disrespectful, condescending, and unprofessional. I called her out on her extremely poor behavior. She ended up apologizing and went out of her way to be helpful after that. I still have no idea what that was all about to begin with though. Then mom's mammogram tech, Leantra, ended up being very rude to me. Thankfully she was nice to my mom. I don't know what that was about either unless she was mad because I called out her co-worker on her behavior. I don't know what was going on there but this isn't the only time this has happened over the years I've been going there. I've decided I won't be going back. They certainly aren't the only mammogram facility around.Vickie Barnes

We had just a quick walk around the front, the back is closed with fence. Anyway it’s so sad to see the buildings are standing there. So many memories for some people. I hope the city or the state will do something and reopen.Anthony Shepherd

Fire damage to the top dorm rooms not funny whoever did it and also dining hall was burnt down but other than that I left everything alone just documented it awesome place for a filmjason laing

I really enjoy attending Knoxville College.The administrators and professors are awesome. I'm am truly excited to be achieving my education goals as a student at Knoxville College.Sherry Roberts

Pellisippi is a terrible choice when looking for post secondary education. The teachers could careless about the students. Don’t try to speak to speak up because the deans don’t care either. Here’s the kicker Pellisippi is so scared about students dropping out and wonder why no one attends classes but then has teachers that let all of their power go to their heads. When you try to go seek help from anyone at Pellisippi they either don’t know who to contact or push your concerns under the table and forget about you. Students who have concerns will never be heard nor have any of the issues fixed. All Pellisippi cares about is the government funding they get from students who attend there. I would love for someone to direct me to someone who genuinely cares about the students and will make sure their voice is heard.Dylan Rector

I received my Associates Degree from Pellissippi in 2007. I came back last year to take a few online courses b/c I am pursuing my Bachelors at another college. The courses are much less expensive and the instructors are great. However, the staff is very abrupt and rude. It doesn't matter if I am talking to a receptionist, advisor, business associate — even the online Help Desk. I am not sure what the issue is, but I have yet to encounter a friendly staff member. I would recommend this school b/c of the price and knowledgeable instructors. The school staff though, needs an attitude adjustment. They need to remember that we are the students and without us they don't have a job.Amy

I have had a great experience here so far. I am currently in my second semester. My professors have all been very knowledgable, friendly, and I commend those who are able to make a three hour long lecture stay interesting. Looking forward to completing my degree here. The admissions and financial aid staff are wonderful and very helpful in walking you through the process of registration and setting up payments. Bookstore staff are always helpful and nice. Library is great and (usually) a nice/quiet place to study.Noah Newport

You couldn't pay me to go back there. I made the mistake of enrolling in their dental hygiene program where I was repeatedly called stupid, careless, and cussed out in front of fellow students and patients (which made meeting course requirements nearly impossible since my patients wouldn't come back). I'm not sure if the staff was sexist (there's only been one man to ever graduate from the program) or if they abuse everyone (when I tried to get other students to help me file a complaint, they said that they were afraid they would get kicked out of the program), but I'm leaning towards the latter. I mean, I saw one poor girl get screamed at because she needed to go to the bathroom! The professor told her to either sit down or don't come back. This was the most unprofessional, disheartening joke of a "school" I've ever seen. I've attended two other universities and have since taught in a secondary education setting, and I have yet to see anyone act in such a deplorable manner as these people. Stay away!Paul Charpie

WoW. Great place to learn. Wish all Colleges be set up like this one. Easy and great layout for everyone. The Professors be top of the line without the big problems of big Colleges that suck up your money and make a person run around to get to class. This College is set up for a person who wants to learn and not to party, play around , and nor waste my life doing courses I don't need or want. Easy to get help or answers on questions ect. So easy and relax without the day to day run,run,run to building all over the mile long areas. Go to a 4 year College and see how far you have to go just to get to one class. The Classes them self's are smaller, with easy learning and support. Go and walk the Roane State Area. Best College I ever been too.Frank small

I would tell everyone not to go to roane state, they are a bunch of dumb***, From the teacher to the advisor. The teachers are sexiest, and rude.if they where a negative star I would give it to this place. To future roane state students STAY AWAY. Updated review, Buyers Be AWARE, Roane state will try and get every last dime you got. I have not been enrolled with these dumb*** since the end of the fall 2016 semester, and somehow I have a account balance of 654 dollars, which was not there a month ago. BUYERS BE AWARE. THIS PLACE IS A SCAMBob Young

It was horrible we sit in the waiting room for 8hrs. Of course I know emergency happen. We were there because they thought my sister was having a stroke. Finally got called back for treatment at about 2ish and they gave her a bag of IV fluids and a couple of meds and we were sent home at 4:30 am. The people were nice but if you are not dying when you get there you sure enough are when you leave and the people who waited with you also.Vanessa Dodson

UT Gardens are spectacular! Enjoy a private walk through their shaded tails, or a brisk jog along the riverside. There is something for everyone. There is even an interactive Children's Garden! With plenty of places to rest, either benchs or tables, it makes a wonderful place to sit and enjoy lunch. Take your family, take your friends, or just take yourself for a little alone time to unwind. It is well worth it!Kacy McBride

I went in by Ambulance and I was treated with kindness and caring nurses and Dr who actually sit and listen to me and my issue. I was in a tremendous amount of pain but with that being said it was extremely busy with a long waiting on results. The Dr gave me something for pain before he sent me out in the waiting room. Other then the long LONG wait I'd say that my experience was very professional..Tresa Daugherty

I cannot say enough about this place. This review is about the day clinic. We have a St Bernard and she had an infection in her toe for four months, that just would not clear up, and then spread to two other toes. We saw three different vets, including one vet specialist as well as a consultation with an internal medicine specialist. We had an x-ray and a biopsy along with 5 different rounds of different antibiotics for a diagnosis of a bacterial infection. Then she developed and eye infection, more medication, antibiotic drops, steroid injections and it just got worse. They then put her on an antibiotic so strong that we had to get her kidney function tested every week. The eye became so bad we went to a specialist ophthalmologist who told us that on top of everything else she had primary glaucoma which had caused her to go blind in the one eye and that she would go blind in the other eye in the next few months as this is a genetic condition, not linked to her other symptoms. After two weeks of antibiotics that equate to chemo therapy and not much change, in desperation we Googled and came across UT Collage of Veterinary Medicine and went to get a second opinion. UTCVM threw all their expertise into this, they were convinced from the outset that there had to be something else and they were determined to find it. We live two hours away so they moved things around and managed to get 4 specialists to see her all from different disciplines and when we arrived back at 4 pm they had a big smile and told us they found it, even showed us a picture of the pathology. She has a fungal infection, not a bacterial, so all the treatments to this point were doing nothing. Even better news, she does not have primary glaucoma, she went blind in one eye when the fungal infection spread to her eye. If we treat the infection the other eye would be fine, we would not have a blind dog. You can’t believe the gift that UTCVM gave us and we will always be indebted to them. It has been a week, the infection is just about gone already and she is seeing perfectly from one good eye. Thank you Dr. Blank and soon to be Dr. Keegan (as well as the experts we did not meet) for all you did for us, you truly changed out lives. By the way the fee was no more than we are paying at our primary vet, and worth every penny. These are true diagnostic veterinarians, who keep digging until they find answers.Neil Gurney

UTCVM-University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine is by far one of the best in the country. Dr Dottie Williams is incredible and goes above and beyond what would be expected of her. Our pup is still in a healing process, and we are still working on making him feel better. But she has never given up on him, even when they haven't had the answers, she continues to search for the answers and fight for him. She really truly does care about our boy. She takes time to listen AND explain everything, to her best ability. She tries to ensure that we understand. We were so lucky to have had her as our surgeon (neurology), and we are so lucky to currently have her continue to care for pollock. The front desk team here, however, may leave a lot to desire in regards to attention to detail and expressing the "we care" factor…. But Dr Williams definitely makes up for this! We would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is dealing with dog back/spinal pain, brain issues or for any neurological issues.Sarah Kinney

I wish I did not have to post a negative review, but I want to warn others. I waited months to get my pup into a Neurologist, and when the appointment came- I was seen by an internal medicine resident. I realize it is a teaching hospital, however, I should of been told this before I wasted my money and time with a resident who was clearly not knowledgeable to deal with a very difficult chronic case of seizures. The 4th year med student who did the intake was much better than the resident. The resident was not only ill prepared, but lacked all bedside manner and empathy. I know this is normally a great place to bring your pets, and I unfortunately was unlucky this time. But, I am extremely disappointed, as I sit here and watch my baby continue to seize.Cindi Cohn

I love Dr. Mosley he is the best . I have stage 4 Incurable Nonsmall Cell Carcinoma lung and brain cancer . Dr. Mosley had to give me that diagnosis and to explain how the cancer had spread throughout my body. He always walks in with a smile on his face and has the friendliest attitude that I have ever seen from anything medical professional since the late Dr. A. R. Laman. My very first visit with Dr. Mosley I stated that I am not worried that I was going to be alright . My first scan after my Keyyruda treatments From. Mosley seemed genuinely surprised by the 35 percent shrinkage in my lung tumor. After he conveyed the news I simply said I told you. He smiled and said yes you did. With everyday that passes I do sometimes get anxiety attacks for in the back of my mind there's always that horrid thought that I could have 2 days up to 2 years to live. I would have thought when Dr. Mosley gave me his medical opinion of my best chances or I should say my only chance that I would have been hysterical. The way Dr. Mosley talked with my husband and I made it so easy for me to accept basicly the death sentence that so many of us suffering from cancer must heat. Thank you Dr. Mosley you are a great man and doctor. May God bless you and give you the strength and knowledge to make more of your patients just as at ease as you have me. You're the greatest.Debbie Darlene inman

I'm from Kingsport Tn and was sent to UT Medical Cancer Center by Kingsport Dermatologist Dr. Casey Watkins. I was diagnosed with stage three melanoma cancer with an extremely fast growth rate. Dr. Michael Lewis was my surgeon and after surgery my arm and lymph nodes are clear of all melanoma cancer. He and all of his friendly & professional team saved me from dying of melanoma cancer. I think them from the bottom of my heart. I must say that the trips to Knoxville were all worth it. A special thanks to NP Andrew Ward! ❤Larry Carter

DANGER! Dr Boone and his staff put RFID chips in me without my permission during a fake surgery! V2K technology done on me by satanic Boone! He is a lying satanist! Look up V2K and torture for facts. Do not go to him. Danger for senior citizens because they will try to kill you with V2K technology. I am a Christian and he put rfid chips in me including my right hand! God sees all and is angry. Do not go to Boone! End times technology against innocent senior citizens. Portal of hell opened by Boone.Barbara Brahney

AVOID THIS PLACE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. DO NOT GO HERE. This is a very hard review to leave. The staff at this place is my primary reason I am leaving this review; as they are AMAZING, courteous, helpful and above exceptional on customer service. THEY ARE THE ONLY REASON I AM GIVING 2 STARS instead of NEGATIVE -5. This place should be ashamed, embarrassed and shut down for the working conditions the staff is put in. The cleanness, updated and working environment that ultimately patients have to be treated in are close to what I would consider third-world level. I cannot believe that a facility like this in the United States of America is allowed to be opened and operational. The rooms in the ER are NOT sterile or safe. I noticed blood (or some other fluid) on the curtains, needles just lingering around, blood or some fluid on the walls, floors not clean. The A/C units were out and they had huge machines with ceiling holes to ventilate air. The treatment room we were placed in also had left over items on the ground from previous care. It was uncomfortable to sit in the hospital. My home with 5 kids is cleaner. It is a shame. I will be reaching out to their corporate office as well. WE are learning in AMERICA, medical is a business for PROFIT and not the people care, but this facility is a slap in the face. It looks like it falling apart. There should be a better sense of pride on the maintenance of any building let alone where people are being medically treated. I was uncomfortable even using their blankets and sitting on their chairs and beds. The bathroom was another story. I wish has taken more photos this day to post.KarRen Lack

I arrived at Turkey Creek Medical Center ER thinking I had a kidney stone. I was immediately taken to an exam room where my care began. The very fast medical attention and a CT scan revealed I didn’t have a kidney stone, but that I did have appendicitis! Yikes! I was very quickly scheduled for emergency surgery to remove my appendix. From the time I arrived at the ER until I arrived to my hospital room for my required overnight stay, only a few short hours passed. The room I was assigned was very spacious and clean. I described it to others as the “Ritz-Carlton” of hospital rooms. The nursing staff was very attentive, pleasant, and accommodating. I think I may have requested and received 15 popsicles. My sincere gratitude goes out to Turkey Creek Medical Center. I truly believe the quick attention I received at the ER and by the surgical staff, very well could have saved my life. Had I gone to most any other ER in Knoxville, I would have waited much longer. A longer wait could have resulted in a ruptured appendix. Who knew a ruptured appendix could be deadly!!! Thank you Turkey Creek Medical Center!Cathy Woodby

My wife had a procedure today and unfortunately I was not there with her, as I had to take are of our three kids. I was very stressed out not knowing what was going on but I got before I knew it I got a call from a nurse who informed me that my wife was about to start her surgery. Then another call 30 min later informing me it was going well. Then another call informing me they were still operating but almost done. Finally I got a call from the doctor that performed the surgery informing me everything went great. Then another letting me know which room she was in and how she was doing. I am very grateful for this staff, as they eased my mind the entire way through. I couldn’t ask for more. I love my wife more than anything and they truly made this as pleasant as possible.Braden Sneath
