As a longstanding patient of Fairview Star Physical Therapy, I was prompted to post this Review…read morebecause of the one-star Review posted several years ago, which is misleading and false. Nobody with a name even similar to the one mentioned has ever worked there; his listed address is 60 miles away; nobody at Star is racist or accuses callers of being racist. If you want an honest Review, please ignore that one, and read on! Physical therapy is all about pain: using good pain to overcome bad pain. And the good doctors at Fairview Star Physical Therapy know how to manage pain with grace and style. The open gym-type layout supports a close-knit community with individual and group therapy. Patients benefit from the tangential interactions of fellow-travelers through the World of Pain, because it is encouraging for a suffering patient to see someone much like themselves, moving further along the path to recovery, while it is equally humbling to realize that there are those who are still much worse off. Chief "Physical Terrorist" is Dr. Rachelle Armistead, DPT, better known to her grateful patients as Miss Shelly. As a McKenzie Certified Therapist (Cert. MDT), she specializes in helping patients learn how to manage their own pain. Rather than following a preset format, where one-size does NOT actually fit all, no two visits to Miss Shelly are ever alike. While the new patient is beguiled to succumb to her blandishments by her muliebrity and her pulchritude, it is her perspicacious discernment that comes to the fore as she delves into the complex factors that comprise the painful experience of the patient before her, its origins and its course of development. Sensitive to the social and emotional side of the patient's life, Miss Shelly treats the whole person, not just their chief complaint. Drawing upon her deep well of experience and training, and marrying that with her compassion and creativity, she turns each encounter into a unique healing session. This is not to say there is no pain. But therapeutic pain is the inevitable sign that progress is being made. Cruel though they may seem, all of the therapists at Fairview Star PT are actually kind and caring. "Prince of Pain" Tim Beckner, DPT, the gentle giant sporting calves like inverted bowling pins, brings to bear hands as warm as a heavy heating pad on the limbs of an aching patient. Soft-spoken and strong, Tim's healing presence is as reassuring as that of a devoted St. Bernard coming to the rescue of a helpless survivor lost in a storm of pain. Physical therapist assistant Jacque Setelin, PTA, plays a crucial role in the Star Therapy experience. Notable for her hospitable and considerate nature, Miss Jacque is always aware of what is going on with each patient and alert for how she can help. She specializes in education, and can always answer questions about anatomy and the course of treatment. She's the one to remind the lazy patient how quickly muscle mass is lost from inactivity, and how very much longer it will take to regain that lost tissue under the skillful management of Star's Physical Therapy Team.

I am a current patient at Tennessee Oncology who's been battling stage 4 glioblastoma brain tumors…read moresince February 2024. I'm writing to share my experience and offer suggestions to improve patient care at your facility. MRI Scheduling & Results: Scheduling an MRI and meeting with the doctor on the same day is ineffective if the doctor doesn't have the results available. It wastes both the patient's and provider's time. Please consider adjusting scheduling protocols so results are ready and available before the consultation. Visual MRI Review: It should be standard practice for doctors to review MRI scans with patients using visual comparisons to prior scans. This helps the patient clearly understand any changes in tumor size or progression. Medication & Supplement Tracking: It's frustrating to be asked what medications and supplements I take when these are prescribed or documented by your team. There should be a centralized, up-to-date record that can be easily reviewed and updated each visit, rather than relying on patient recall every time. MRI Machine Availability: Having broken MRI machines and forcing terminally ill patients to wait weeks for rescheduling is unacceptable. There must be sufficient equipment or contingency plans in place to ensure timely scans for patients with critical needs. Nutrition Awareness: Offering candy and sugary treats in a cancer treatment facility is highly inappropriate. Sugar fuels many forms of cancer, and handing it out is akin to offering a cigarette to a lung cancer patient. Please reconsider the nutritional options you provide in the waiting areas. I share this feedback not to criticize but to advocate for better patient care. I would be happy to speak directly with your team to help improve the patient experience at Tennessee Oncology. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Joe Fiore

Do NOT go here for suboxone treatment. I was referred to him by an addiction counselor and hands…read moredown, worst suboxone doctor I have dealt with. I have been on suboxone for 2 years and decided to leave my last doctor due to him pressuring me for additional medical treatment (like endoscopy's and ultrasounds...even though they could never give me a reason why. I don't have stomach issues and my blood work was normal) Anyways, I made several phone calls to this office to inquire about services and A LOT was left out and not mentioned to me. I was told since I was currently on suboxone, I wouldn't have to pay the initiation fee and would only have to see him monthly. I ran out of my meds early (because I was stockpiling them from my last doctor because I wanted OFF suboxone and he wanted to keep me on so I was tapering myself. Made it about 6 months without seeing a dr so you can just tell by that how much I was being over prescribed and how serious I was. I dropped from 16mg to 2mg on my own) When I arrive (Which by the way I live in Murfreesboro and have severe driving anxiety so getting to his office was a nightmare for me) I went over with the front desk lady about what my counselor told me and refused to hand over the $450 to her until she promised me that the doctor would do PA's. Without a PA my script it $600 which is over half my monthly income. They assured me oh yeah, yeah, we do that. I MADE THEM PROMISE THAT TO ME BEFORE I GAVE THEM MY $. Lies. As soon as I was taken to the back, Dr Reedy deemed me in withdrawal (Yeah. I told you that) and wrote me a prescription for FIVE PILLS. FIVE PILLS FOR $450 DOLLARS. You can get it cheaper on the streets and that shows right there how messed up that is. He told me I would also have to see him IN PERSON weekly for $150 for the first month. He told me he was unable to write me a 30 day script because I would relapse. Uh...how can you say that when you have literally just met me and I've been getting 30 day scripts for 2 years? I have not relapsed since started suboxone 2 years ago. He also told me I had to get on birth control (oh yay another bill I can't afford!) which was left out to me when they were telling me the rules over the phone. I use condoms (with my 5 year fiance), to which he replied "That isn't 100% effective" I told him my boyfriend is a BC baby (which is true) and I just spent 2 years trying to figure out why my periods are irregular and so horrific and am currently paying off 2k in medical bills with still no answer and was deemed infertile. Dr. Reedy didn't care... He also had me spent 4 hours in his office. He spent at the most 25 minutes with me and then had the audacity to tell me "I SPENT SO MUCH TIME WITH YOU BE GREATFUL" not those exact words but that's where he was coming from. Anyways, I go to the pharmacy with my 5 pills to get myself out of withdrawals and they tell me the doctor won't budge on the PA. I call them & they tell me they NEVER do PA's. They lied directly to my face. I never would have been a patient if I had known that (and straight up told them that) My mom is a big wig at an insurance agency and was concerned about why he was avoiding the PA's so bad. She told me a lot of sketchy doctors do that because they don't want to get in trouble with insurance for doing messed up crap. I spent all weekend in withdrawals (Even though I told him it makes me suicidal. The last time I went through bad withdrawals over 8 years ago I tried to kill myself & was in a coma for 8 days and almost died...) Eventually I couldn't take it anymore and paid out of pocket even though my meds would have been free with insurance. The most alarming thing he did is that I am also prescribed xanax. I am aware most doctors are not okay with that in sub programs and told him I obviously needed to taper off it. He did nothing. He told me to stop taking it cold turkey WHICH COULD KILL ME. Right when he said that I knew he had no idea what he was talking about. That's the thing. I don't think he was being malicious. I think he is completely uneducated on addiction and all they have to do to become "specialists" to prescribe suboxone is to take one 8 hour ONLINE CLASS. Kind of crazy when you think about that is all that is deemed necessary to treat one of the worst & hardest addictions Stay far, far away from him if your looking for sub drs. I cannot comment on any other treatment he does but anyone who tells someone who has been on xanax daily for over 4 months to quit cold turkey is a lawsuit waiting to happen. He is going to kill someone someday or cause someone to relapse as he obviously isn't educated on these drugs. I am trying so desperately to get help off this medication and am literally being screwed from everyone directly. He was by far the worst I have ever seen. Luckily, I have a new doctor who seems to know what he is talking about. If you are considering this dr for suboxone, RUN!!! RUN FAR AWAY!
