Dr. Francis Peter Lebuffe, MD

After being a patient for over 30 years .. Including inpatient stays at St Mary's hospital in Knoxville.. I can honestly say This was the best doctor I had ever been to. In fact I'm now terminal & suffer a great deal. I also attended " The pendulum group at St Mary's. I took classes - CBT & DBT.for starters Beth ( Dea ) was in his office to get rid of all the addicts.. I spoke with her every time I was there about the issue. Now - I suffer with Lupus, Sjogrens disease, HEMOCHROMATOSIS, vasculitis, Ischemic brain trauma ,& much more. I'm happy he finally retired & got a life - BECAUSE HE DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS. He prescribed according to complaints of the patient-. Yes, he very much did have a plan of getting better - I had been in mental health treatment most of my life & at least 20 years & over 20 doctors before I found him in my ,30's. Guess what - never been on drugs- never rehab ,Never addicted- Never had 1 problem - When he retired I lost my meds .. I got in with another… doctor & after a short time I lost my meds again ( Not his fault)..The doctor left! It's been 5 years plus now since he retired ( roughly)& I only have 1 medication replaced ,- exact same thing he did.. but I was on that medication when I got to him.. This man is far from a Drug pusher - unless you are an addict seeking- Period.. I have over 40 years of documentation of autoimmune disease- for those of us who truly suffered mentally thanks him very much.. I'm aware of drug seekers as well - they were never allowed in my home due to an episode of having my medication stolen which is something most of us have been through I'm sorry about anybody have a family member that is an addict - been through it myself BUT I can assure you the problem didn't start with this doctor. The problem began because the patient suffered from unhealed trauma that had them trying to numb the pain. If it wasn't this doctor - it would have been another.. In fact my 1 st cousin done 8 years in prison for doctor shopping & repeated E.R VISITS.. Happy to tell you This doctor gave her NOTHING! . I will always be thankful for this Doctor ,Period.
