After waiting 1.5 hours, I left knowing I would never be back. He jokingly made derogatory, sexist comments to me about not having a brain. He told me running at 40 “is bad” for me. He mocked my desire to have a colonoscopy and sleep study done at my age. I was there for an annual physical and he told me “don’t get fat.” I am very covid-conscious and fully vaccinated and he spoke to me like I’m dumb. No thanks.

He was in too much of a hurry to go home. He took my history for paperwork, and that was that. Made some offhand comments too. It was a waste of time.

I went to see this terrible doctor in Franklin, TN for help with a condition I have that is worsening. My arms specifically have large growths under the skin that concern me. I also needed referrals to another doctor that I KNOW helps diagnose this disease. To begin, he did not knoe what this disease was. I had printed out a page with quick information to help educate him, and he refused to take it, and said the disease sounds made up. He then told me I probably have horrible cholesterol because I choose to eat a healthy low carb diet. He assumed I eat nothing but bacon and told me to stop eating low carb and to eat healthy. I have lymphedema and low carb is ESSENTIAL for me. He is so uneducated and misinformed, it's scary to know that he is a practicing physician working with people. He never once looked at my arms. He told me I probably just have fibromyalgia and there was a certain pain clinic I could go to. He then got up walked out, and told me the exit to the lobby was to the right. It has been a very long time since I have been treated so dismissively, and like I mean absolutely nothing, by a doctor. But he made me feel that and more. I will never go back to him, and I suggest no one else go either. Even his nurse was horrible!!!
