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 Aghel is a very knowledgeable man and has helped me and my wife with several health issues that we have. He is kind and empathetic Doctor who treats you as a person.

I just had to pop in, and say, thank you, Doctor Aghel!!! ThANk you for your unending Patience, Compassion, und Understanding!!! Dr Aghel is most definitely a LIFESAVER to me. He, of course must stand firm on certain things, and have boundaries. In other words, he won't put up with any type of continual crap from anyone, and I do not blame him. But when it comes to mistakes, he is VERY understanding/forgiving, much more than any doctor I've ever seen, and I have moved a lot throughout my life, so I have seen MANY. And in my opinion, he is, by FAR, one of the BEST, if not THE Best!!!!!! So again, I say, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Dr Aghel is a superb doctor. He does listen and he is caring. He has helped me tremendously and I am very grateful. He’s a smart doctor too. I like that I am able to be seen in a very timely manner too. His office is nice also and always smells good. So that’s a plus as well.

I have no doubt he saved my life . I had lost trust in Drs. For a long time and started to believe that all Drs where only worried about the money , till I came to his office. Right away I knew he was different. I had reached the point in life that I didn't want to live in the condition i was in. I wanted to improve my physical condition to better take care of my three young sons or let someone better take them so I wouldn't have to live any longer in the shape i was in. He turned my life around

One of the best doctors in Knoxville I just wanted to respond to a negative review I seen on him that says he is arrogant and has a large ego if arrogant and large ego means that he's highly intelligent then I guess that would be true I consider myself reasonably intelligent I find him compassionate knowledgeable and helpful I've been impatient his for almost 5 years he is genuinely concerned with my health and well-being I would recommend him to anyone who truly needs a great doctor

Dr Aghel has been my primary care physician for almost 6 years now. He is absolutely the best Dr a person could ask for. Explains what's going on with your health in a way you can understand. Listens to what you want to talk about. Treats you like your time is important by keeping wait times to none or short. Recommend to anyone

This doctor is terrible. He is a know it all type. He doesn't listen to anything you say and will bluntly speak right over you. His ego is bigger than his head. He thinks he is above everyone, as in he is better than you. He rushes you, and he really doesn't know half of wish he is talking about. I most certainly wouldn't recommend this doctor if you're thinking about seeing him. Not to mention he belittled me, and acted if I was trash just because I had a problem and came to him. Zero Stars!!
