I had seen on the news where pharmacy's are having to throw away unused Covid vaccines. I went to this little clinic in hopes they had extra at closing time, I have type 1 diabetes & copd/emphysema and my husband has type 2 diabetes & copd/emphysema... We were in luck, they only had 2 doses. They were so sweet and answered every question we had. A million tys so much!

I can't imagine a better doctor or office in the Knoxville TN area than Dr's Clay and Stacy Stalcup. They have been taking care of me for years, well over 10 years and I am very grateful for their kindness and compassion. My family goes to their office for all their care as well. Dr Clay is very patient and asks the right questions and helps us when we have problems. I see that there is only one review on this site and it's a 1 star, so I can't imagine why someone would do that to this group of doctors. They are the best! I highly recommend them. There has never been a time in which I would have had any reason to complain about their care. Thank you.
