Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Douglas was extremely nice and helpful and even showed me my xrays and compared them to xrays of normal knees. He also pointed out certain problem areas of my knees on the xrays. He also gave me some information on my condition to take home.

HORRIBLE
Said to me, 'I will not run any more tests because we will find nothing.' That is a disgusting statement to make to a chronically ill patient, when he had only run a few simple blood tests and took one X-ray. He gave me gabapentin at me and told me not to come back, then removed my RA diagnosis from 20 years ago from my health record because my bloodwork didn't show rheumatoid factor that day. A simple google will tell you that bloodwork alone doesn't prove anything, especially in late stage RA. HORRIBLE.

Chronically Ill – Jul 21, 2024

I got a run around from this clinic from day 1! Appointments being rescheduled for no reason , disregarding my red flagged RA factor , and not picking up on a telemedicine appt. The office called me to inform me that I could not keep an appointment after a 14 day quarantine period ( Covid related). I have had the run around from this group ... long enough !!! Moving on to a qualified doctor that truly cares about his or her patients !

He is wonderful & Might of figured out what is wrong with me PLUS His Nurse is Incredible...the Whole office is. Women at front desk makes me smile. Women who took my blood fantastic for taking in tiny veins, did not even feel it. Unlike my other Vandy doctors at 100 oaks Nashville email them what Dr Douglas found and no answer back. Leaving me know knowing what to do or whom to turn to.

Dr. Douglas is a very caring and compassionate doctor. He is a teacher and a diagnostician. He is very personable and gentle. He listens and thinks through what the patient is saying as he types. As a nurse I have worked with hundreds of doctors, across a broad range of specialties. Glenn Douglas is one of the top three doctors I have ever been to. I do not believe some of the reviews written here are even possible to have happened.

I visited Dr. Douglas with my baby in tow. He suggested I take OTC pain medications for my joint pain. I told him that I would prefer to avoid medication while breastfeeding, which he then took 15 minutes to tell me why breastfeeding a child over 6 months no longer benefits the baby. I was very put off by his willingness to tell me his views of breastfeeding and why I should no longer continue. I had come to him regarding joint pain, not for breastfeeding advice.

Dr Douglas told me to ignore my elevated lab work. I scheduled an appointment with rheumatologist in Memphis and was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis on the second visit and additional lab work. Go somewhere else.....anywhere else!! This doctor is a joke!!
