This is actually a correction to a previous review The…read morereview I had posted earlier Was a mistake It was actually meant for another clinic altogether and I had posted it here by mistake I felt I got a fair evaluation during my dot physical I have non-insulin treated diabetes Which means I take non-insulin medications to control my diabetes They just wanted a recent A1C test from my primary care physician And since it was at or below 10 I passed So they didn't get ridiculous with their requirements I was able to easily find out what was required over the phone before I even showed up for the visit They basically just check for hearing, vision, numbness in the feet and hands, because diabetics can lose sensation in their feet and hands as a result of elevated blood sugars as well as excess protein in the urine Which can indicate kidney disease (It can also be a sign of a high protein diet such as low carb) Diabetes can destroy nerve endings Causing diabetic neuropathy So that's why the feet and hands are checked for numbness I've had DOT physicians ask for ridiculous things like a recent eye exam, a note from my doctor about my blood pressure, etc That's not even necessary if you pass the eye exam and blood pressure test during the exam If a person fails the eye exam while wearing their corrective lenses then by all means they should ask for a recent eye exam to make sure there are no eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, Glaucoma and other conditions that can be complications of diabetes So they didn't ask for unnecessary things as part of my physical Which didn't put any undue burden on me as a CDL holder I feel that a DOT exam should be focused on safety for the driver and for all of the other drivers on the road And I felt that my DOT examination was just that It was about safety, not about putting and unfair burden on me, by inconveniencing me with unnecessary requirements I have also had dot examiners lie to me and tell me that things that they were asking for were legal requirements when they were not I have even been asked for a sleep study by other DOT physicians And I was told that it was law that I had to have one Which is not true That's actually nothing but fat discrimination Because skinny people can have sleep apnea too That did not happen here at afc So yeah if you're a non insulin control diabetic, just get a recent A1C from your doctor and take it to your visit And if everything else is good Like blood pressure, vision, etc You should be fine

Everyone that helped me throughout the entire visit: Robin Alley, Semone, Laurie, Danielle and Dr Brittany Congress!! Everyone was so kind and helpful. X-rays were done. And, a couple of days later, someone from the office called to check how I was doing! I was pleasantly surprised with an urgent care that was not only thorough but kind as well. If you need medical help, this place won't let you down!!

Dr French is ok if you have a cold or need an annual physical or something routine. But anything…read moreelse and he'll tell you, and I quote "I'm just a family doctor, I don't know how to help you". I heard this twice from him when I was begging him, desperate for help (referrals? Another different test to do? Disability paperwork filled out) This man made everything so difficult for me that I would have panic attacks and not be able to open his secure message responses to questions I asked for days. Because the answer was always "no" or him doubting me or making this process of trying to get something complicated diagnosed even harder by making me argue for every single thing. Like filling out short term disability paperwork when I was going on FMLA leave. Everything was already hard and he made it harder. The most recent time, when I called to ask their office manager what to do when the doctor can't help, I got a certified letter from Dr French firing me. Dr French wants to do the basic work and then go home and not think about his job or his patients. I kind of think he wants to not think about his patients when they're in the room too. He can play like he listens and play a good doctor, but when it really matters, he'll let you down every single time.

Couple that with the fact that despite never being late on a copay and never receiving a bill for any additional balance, they sent it to collections without any communication - and I can honestly say this is the worst office in all of Knoxville, TN. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.

This will occassionally cause him to run a few minutes behind, but the waiting facilities are comfortable and contageous patients are kept in private rooms. If a sudden injury or illness occurs, he always manages a way to "work you in". which usually prevents him from having more than 5 minutes for lunch. He has been my primary care provider for over 30 years and will be the rest of my life. I currently drive 100 miles in each direction to be seen by him, and these visits are simply for medication management and annual physicals.

I found this place searching the web and called and scheduled my first appointment. Phone call was…read moreeasy and was able to find a date that worked. The facility was easily located and has stairs or elevator if you need it. The signs around the building get you right to it. Checking in was easy. I filled out a signup sheet and did my initial paperwork of health history, personal & insurance info, as well as privacy and payment acknowledgements. At the most it took me 8-10 minutes to fill out, not a big deal. The reception staff was very nice. I waited less than 5 minutes after the paperwork was done and was taken straight back. The nurse was very nice while gathering other health-related information. Now before I review the rest I have to premise this with the fact that when it comes to be examined in general that I am not comfortable at all. Not only am I not comfortable but I was quite ignorant to what to even expect. With that said, the Dr. was very kind and informative. She made an experience that I had been dreading something that I believe I will be alright with in the future. She was very helpful in answering skin/mole questions to help me better understand what I didn't before. 5/5 for me. I'll be using this place and would recommend this practice. Thanks for helping me.
