PCP Recommendation in the Knoxville Area?

I currently do not have a PCP. I would like to find an overweight-friendly / WLS-friendly doctor in the Knoxville area. Not only to help me through the WLS referral process (obviously) but also someone that I can be comfortable going to see.

The nurse at Dr. Boyce's office recommended Dr. Ramos and said that that's usually who they refer patients who do not have a PCP to, but I would like to get a list of a couple to help make sure I find one I really like.

Does anyone have a doctor that they could recommend or someone to avoid for that matter? 

Hi!

My PCP is Dr. Alex Alexander with Summit Medical in Oak Ridge but I usually see his NP Patty Evans.
She is a huge supporter of WLS and helped guide my process. Her office number is 483-3172.

Good luck with everything!! 18 mos out and lovin Dr B and the staff!

Thank you for the recommendation! They are on my insurance plan but the website says they aren't taking new patients. I'm not sure how often the website is updated though so after spring break I'll give them a call and ask.

Hi Mindee,

I am in Nashville so I can't help with a PCP in Knoxville, but I just wanted to say hi.
