We struggled finding a…read more Primary Care Physician for check-ups; physicals and occasional winters colds and what appeared to be minor ailments. Many walk in clinics have wonderful nurses but the turnover in their employees is continual-which hinders good service. We were referred to Dr. Hopkins and his staff and it was just what we needed. They are located right off the square downtown Murfreesboro in an older but very neat building. Our family has seen Dr. Hopkins on occasion and also his PA's and nurses-they are all very thorough, professional and kind. They have either always taken care of us or referred us on to a specialist when our case warranted. The front office staff are polite and always ready to answer questions. When our private insurance was cancelled by BCBS and like thousands had to scramble for health insurance- we made sure our new coverage was a policy that Dr. Hopkin's practice accepted. Our family has found our doctor!

For about 14 years I was getting high fevers, my lower legs turning red and hurting, excruciating pain that would take me down for up to 2 weeks. This was happening sometimes twice a month. I had been to numerous doctors, went through dozens of tests. All for nothing. I was told it was all in my head, never could figure out how I could make myself get 105 degree fevers. Anyway, my dear neighbor suggested I go to Dr. Beatty. I was skeptical because I had already been through a lot but I went anyway. Dr. Beatty sat and listened to all my complaints. Gave me a good work up. Than he sent me to one of the best rheumatologist around, Dr. Legrone. He listened to me and read all my past history. You could all of a sudden see a light bulb go off. He jumps up and goes to get one of his medical journals. Right there in black and white was answers to my condition, Familia Mediterranean Fever. A rare disease. Ran tests and sure enough I had it. FINALLY A DIAGNOSIS! I was so happy. People would ask why I was happy being diagnosed with that. I told them I wasn't happy about that but happy about having a diagnosis, I wasn't crazy, I didn't make myself get fevers. I know this is long but I just want everyone to know Dr. Beatty is the best. If he can't figure it out he'll send you to someone that can. Forgot to mention I also have Crohn's disease and thought for a long time it was that causing fevers. Also have fibromyalgia.Thank God I listened to my neighbor. So don't waste another visit with someone else. Dr. Beatty is the best!

The other doctors just wanted to keep me on prescriptions drugs, Dr. Potter cared enough to actually fix me instead of just prolong my illness. When I had questions, they answered them very quickly, in fact, much quicker then all my other doctors. If you are sick, Dr. Potter is the man to see. He will fix you instead of just keeping you on drugs. I feel better now then I have in over 8 years. My only goal was to feel good enough to play with my grandson, Dr. Potter not only got me there, I am able to do things I haven't done in years and feel better then I ever have. Thank you Dr. Potter for being such a caring doctor and fixing me!

My first visit was with his PA, Cassidy Crawford, and she was fantastic. I saw Dr. Zane Cooke for the first time yesterday and was completely impressed. Dr. Cooke spoke with me about my lab results in a sincere, unhurried manner. We discussed my medical history, and he genuinely seemed to care. Dr. Cooke is a credit to his profession. I also want to mention his nurse (I feel bad that I do not recall her name). She was professional, nice, and efficient. So glad my daughter suggested him.

I would recommend everyone stay away from MMC…read more I've been battling with both their billing department and my doctor's office over a bill for nearly five years after a procedure. They are now trying to charge me $300, even though I never received a bill during that time--either through the patient portal or by mail. I don't understand how a patient can be billed five years later with no prior notice. I asked if they would waive the balance since it was never communicated to me, especially considering that I have always paid every other bill I received. Every other balance has been paid timely. They refused. To make matters worse, my doctor's office is now refusing to see me until the balance is paid. As a result, I can't get a medication refill or a procedure that I need. I've spoken with both the billing department and my doctor's office multiple times, but instead of helping resolve the issue, each department just passes me to someone else. No one takes ownership, and nothing gets resolved. I'm exhausted from being given the runaround. Based on my experience, MMC's billing practices and lack of communication have been extremely disappointing, and I cannot recommend them.

It's been several years since I have used Dr. Lewis as my PCP, but wanted to share my experience…read more Dr. Lewis has a great demeanor and for run of the mill things like the flu or high blood pressure, you're in good hands. If you have anything more challenging, you may be taking your life in your hands. I had a small tumor in my pancreas that he didn't seem too concerned about and approached with a "wait and see" attitude. Within six months the tumor grew so large that not only did it require the removal of 60% of my pancreas but it had also blocked the blood flow to my spleen, requiring it to be removed as well. For months afterward, as my A1C kept rising to dangerous levels (17 at it's highest), his answer was to just keep increasing my oral diabetes medications. Thank goodness another doctor referred me out to a good endocrinologist who was aghast at how my diabetes was being handled. He made the comment that any competent doctor would have known to switch me to insulin as I did not have enough of a pancreas left for the medication I was taking to function as designed. Within a few months my A1C dropped drastically and I found a new PCP. Dr. Lewis seems like a very nice person, and appeared genuinely concerned, but when your health is on the line, you want expertise. If you have a complicated health issue, you may want to look for a more seasoned physician.

I stopped a couple of years back, but my wife just now had enough of the shenanigans and incompetence to say enough is enough. There is no such thing as continuity at this practice. Keeping accurate records and billing are apparently not a priority here. One of the most annoying things is that when it comes to maintenance medications for say, cholesterol or blood pressure, most providers will be happy to write you a 90 day prescription and have you come in maybe every 3 to 6 months to check your labs. This practice will write you a 30 day script, and then force you to come back in a month to pay another copay just to sit and watch the doctor write out new scripts. Calling and leaving messages or getting any info over the phone is an absolute nightmare. You are lucky if you talk to the same person each month and the practice is like a revolving door, staff-wise. If you value your health, your patience and your wallet, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.
