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.

That person stating he was on the computer lied.
Dr Christenberry does eveything hard copy. He doesn't use a computer with any of his patients. Only the office staff works on a computer.

Still going
We've been going to Doc for over 30 years and even today, we would prefer to wait in line to see him than most other physicians. Doc treats you to wellness, not eternal return visits. He's personable and always has a joke or two and encourages (not pressuring) his patients to consider alternative medical options even when they don't agree. He's a dying breed which is sad but as long as he's willing and able to see patients, we'll continue under his care.

Christenberry Clinic, Knoxville Tennessee
I have been going to the Christenberry clinic since I was a student at the University of Tennessee in the seventies. Living in Tennessee we have the allergy season starting in spring and in the fall the season change brings on my Rhinitis sometimes turning into Bronchitis. Dr. Christenberry always knew how to treat me and he always took the time to explain my situation and how I could recognize the symptoms' to head off an infection before it hit me. IN addition to great treatment you will most likely have a good friendly conversation. Its good to know he is still thee taking care of us.

I just had my first visit with Dr. Christenberry Jr. and I just can say: HE IS A PROFESSIONAL, knowledgeable and exceptionally Kind. He takes the time to listen and to explain. He is just wonderful. It reminds me the Old fashion doctors and... the doctors in my country. Thanks Dr. Christenberry. My terrible pain for Sinusitis is already better.

Great physician, an even better man
Dr. Christenberry is an old school physician in the best sense of the word. He treats his patients as people, even as family. His clinic is not fancy or super high tech, but he is good at his job and he helped me remove a blockage in my ear and I can now hear like the world turned up the volume. I wish every doctor could be like Dr. Christenberry.

I went to Dr Christenberry after an ENT Dr in Farragut told me that I was deaf... Dr Christenberry actually treated my issue - the eustachian tube was being closed off or blocked due to infection/allergies. Treated with antibiotic shot and a steroid shot along with oral antibiotics.. within a couple of days my hearing was vastly improved.. He takes the time to learn what the problem is and actually treat it.. The other ENT just wanted to run tests to run up a big bill but not actually listen or treat the problem..

Wonderful first-time experience! Doctor and staff are great. Very caring & personable. Had been in pain for weeks & did not know how I was going to make it another 3 weeks for an appointment. So thankful they do walk-ins where you can come & take a chance on getting seen between patients if you arrive by a certain time. Doctor C. is so experienced & able to zero right in on your needs. He says he is a "do" doctor meaning he will "do" all he can to help you during your visit. I was on the verge of tears when I went in. Dr. C. made me feel like I was the only one in the office. He is funny as heck which helps when you are hurting. His treatments made a noticeable difference right away. I am grateful for Dr. C. & his staff. One-of-a-kind health care specialist & highly recommended.

He has been my specialist since I was a little girl age 12 and removed tonsils and adnoids. I am now 55 years old and still continue to go to him, during allergy season. He's thorough, personable, and can recall your name and history without paperwork. His regimine of treatments are quick. I wouldn't see anybody else and I recommend him to those who suffer with sinus infections or any related eyes, ears, nose or throat condition.
