They were very busy so it took awhile, but that's understandable. The nurse practitioner I saw was great. He was proactive with me due to damaged lungs from covid in 2021. I highly recommend him. I think his name was Craig.

I have already completed a review of American Family Care in Chattanooga. It went very well and I was pleased. Not sure why I am being asked to do it again under a different organization name

Went in for kidney infection but it was a UTI. Thank goodness. The nurse that triaged me was extremely professional, courteous, and listened patiently to health issues. The PA, however, was abrupt, overtalked me, seemed as if he was put off by having to see me again within a 2 week span. He was professional and cordial the first time a few weeks ago. This time, he seemed to have a problem with me being there??? He asked me if I had a PCP, to which I replied yes, and would loved to have seen her instead, but that she has been out of her office with medical problems. He also seemed to be put off by my wearing a mask, but I mentioned to him that there were several in the waiting room coughing and that I didn't won't it. He overtalked me on that as well, and seemed to dismiss my desire to be cautious. At 65, I'm trying to take care of me as best I can. I was reluctant to complete this review on yesterday because I didn't want to have to give a negative review but because it was sent to me a second time, I am complying with your request. Thank you.
