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. This clinic is superb and such a blessing to our city for patient care.
