The exemplary staff of PA's are excellent. I have been so pleased with the entire clinic and all personnel. They are sincere and very caring. The techs are outstanding as well. I especially want to thank Ms.Lauren Johnson for her insightful knowledge and expertise in urgent care and follow up which resulted in being admitted to a Nashville hospital. Her follow up care has been very thorough with sincere and great patient care. This clinic is superb in every way and I am so thankful that this clinic is located in Murfreesboro. It is the cleanest clinic and I want to thank the PAs who prevented me from my pneumonia going into covid. This clinic is a blessing to Murfreesboro. And the PAS are sincere and caring and all are so thorough in expertise and follow up. The entire staff is caring and very nice.
