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. Rhea listens and cares.
Dr. Rhea always has my health and best course of action at heart. When it was advisable to change one of my medications, she researched choices to find the best alternative for my medical needs, and even looked at cost of potential new medications to be sure she found a good option that wouldn't be out of price range for me. I have great trust in her, and am grateful for her care.

Dr. Rhea and NP Tori are excellent! I had previously researched available Doctors who were accepting new patients, and also ones that would hopefully be around as I matured in age...meaning a Doctor who has special interest in Internal Medicine (University of Alabama at Birmingham) and Geriatric Medicine (Fellowship at Duke University in Durham NC). I also wanted a Doctor who was local to the area. Dr. Rhea is originally from Halls Tennessee. My first visit to the Summit Internal Medicine location in Powell on July 23rd was at 1:30pm. From the door health screen person, to the counter help person, I was treated excellently! I had previously filled out all of my health data online so almost immediately I went to an exam room. Dr. Rhea soon arrived and all of my health concerns were addressed. Dr. Rhea and Nurse Tori were attentive to my concerns, and were quite thorough. I highly recommend their services, and the personal followup care I received was unparalleled! . They Really Care!
