Timothy Crater, MD

To be a veteran, this doctor is cold, unfeeling, and he will never even touch your body. He's too busy typing on his computer. He will just refer you on to someone else, some other so-called specialist. Save your money.

Made me feel like trash and a liar. Coming from a Healthcare and Military background I have never been treated with such disregard and disrespect. If it wasn't for me needing blood pressure medicine and lack of local doctors that take my insurance I would never go back. Thank you for making life harder for me as if it's not already hard for the majority of us just trying to live a decent and HONEST life for ourselves and children. Doctors are supposed to be there for patients not the other way around. You didn't even offer an alternative medication. You chose a field that is supposed to help people overcome physical and mental ISSUES hindering their lives not one that induces it. I will record every visit from now on. I'd be happy to release my records from previous Healthcare providers (Doctors, Therapist, hospital, etc...) for any DIAGNOSIS/PROGNOSIS previously determined that you may question or need to validate to actually give the proper care needed INCLUDING Dr. Jeremy Owens but… we'll need the release forms from your office. I believe one Healthcare provider may be teaching at Vanderbilt if credibility is a concern. This also assuming HIPAA is still in effect? I'd be happy to also get pharmaceutical records for the past 20 years if still available if that would help. Thank you for leaving a lasting impression of Southern Tennessee and Lifepoint Health and their ability to FAIL me and possibly OTHERS in a time of NEED.

Worse bedside manners I have ever experienced. Coming from a Healthcare and Military background I have never been treated with such disregard and disrespect. If it wasn't for me needing blood pressure medicine and lack of local doctors that take my insurance I would never go back. Thank you for making life harder for me as if it's not already hard for the majority of us just trying to live a decent and honest life for ourselves and children. Doctors are supposed to be there for patients not the other way around. You didn't even offer an alternative medication. Find a different field if you need to but don't take it out on your patients causing more pain and suffering. You chose a field that is supposed to help people overcome physical and mental issues hindering their lives not one that induces it. I will record every visit from now on. Thank you for leaving a lasting impression of Southern Tennessee and Lifepoint Health.

Very fast and friendly takes the time to listen

I have been a paitent of Dr. Craters for several years. I have never been let down or felt that way...EVER! HIS office is extremely busy and I understand why. His level of skill and depth of care on any given appointment with me have always shown how compassionate he is about the care he and his staff .provide. I feel blessed to have him. wonderful person as my Dr. Thanks for all you do Dr. Crater..

Does a good job.

He uses the best of basic medical practices that provide an overview of symptoms and treatments. Other doctors would be better for individual care and illnesses that require practical cognition in treatment.
