As my rheumatologist, he takes the time to listen and help me with any and all health issues I am having. He even picks up on things that my primary care physician does not. I am pleased that I can now utilize him as my primary care physician. I trust that Dr. Smith has my best interests at heart.

Doctors hide behind their admins without any clear path of communication about one's unique health needs. If you don't play the medical industry machine game they will boot you out, denying care or a conversation that actually pertains to health. Tennessee healthcare at its worst.

Highly unprofessional!…read more I made an appointment months ago to see Dr. Battineni. First of all when I get there I informed them at the desk that I can't write due to tremors in my hand but that went mostly ignored and they wanted me to fill out a bunch of forms anyway, which kept until I got the nurse to do it. When I eventually got to see the doctor, she seemed to genuinely want to help but went through the motions then informed me that she would be leaving this practice and could not tell me where she would be going next. I should have been informed of this right away. Instead of transferring me to another doctor, all they did was pass me off to an NP for another appointment in 6 months. The facility itself is awful. Parking is not even close to being convenient and they have almost no handicapped spots (this is a hospital!) This is not my first negative experience with Tennova, and I can't really say I've had anything else in dealing with them. Not that I can say any of the others are good either but this company is definitely the bottom of the barrel. No, I'm not going to call my concerns into anyone unless you want to pay my $600/hr. business consulting fee.

I was very disappointed by how the staff treated me. I'd talk about the doctors, but I never got…read moreto meet one, just a guy whom I think was an intern. First: an hour between my appointment and when they saw me Second: While I was there for arm tingling and shoulder pain, the intern decided that in fact I had neck pain, and proceeded to treat me for that. Third: I was told I was going to another center for a cortisone shot. When I contacted them, I was scheduled for cervical injections. This had NEVER been discussed with me. Fourth: they rarely return a phone call. When I contacted the office about why I was getting a treatment they hadn't described, I was told, "Well, they're injecting you with cortisone." A shot is not the same as an epidural! I wanted to speak to the doctor about this. No dice - you don't get to speak to a doctor, they are ALWAYS in surgery. The nurse finally called me back (after the time when I was scheduled for the procedure, which I cancelled) to tell me I was wrong, the physician was right, and I needed to do what I was told. A big problem here is that I'd requested the notes on my meeting with the intern. When I finally received them (and I had to ask three times), they described pain that I didn't have. When I asked about this, they told me, "Yes, you DO have that pain - we were told that by your primary care provider." This HAD come up in my discussion with the intern, where he tried to steer me toward saying, "I have neck pain." When I wouldn't say that, he wrote it down anyway, and began treating me for it. If you're going to go here, I HIGHLY recommend that you demand those meeting notes and make sure they're treating you for the actual problem you have
