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 Gouge is a caring and smart doctor
When I first moved to Tennessee I had to find a doctor. Dr Gouge picked up on my heart issues on the first visit. I had to have a triple bypass. She is very compassionate. I now live in Georgia and so wish I could stay her patient!

Grateful Dr. Gouge is close by home
Dr. Gouge is the most patient and caring doctor even when I am at my worse. I’ve seen her for three yearly appointments now and she is a calming influence in my life, as well as a super good doctor, checking everything thoroughly.

Dr Gouge provides care for multiple family members of mine and friends. She truly is thorough, compassionate and so very willing to listen. She has a very nurturing and wholesome personality and demeanor. I would highly recommend her as a primary care physician for anyone that is looking. I have witnessed her enriching the quality of life of those I care for most . If I could give 10 stars I would

I am so grateful for Dr. Gouge. She always goes above and beyond for her patients. She takes the time to sit with her patients and listen to their issues and concerns. I feel as though she cares for me not only as a patient, but as a person. I would recommend her as a primary doctor for any of my family and friends.

Went for help getting a referral for an MRI after developing persistent vertigo. Everything pointed to neck injuries. She said we'd need to check some things off before she could do the referral. My heart rate was up a little that day (from anxiety, as I explained to her) so she wanted me to do tests for heart-related causes, none of which supported that as a cause of my problem. Despite my input, the lack of evidence to the contrary, and my chiropractor's copious notes, she dismissed my request for a referral outright. Went to pay my bill online and checked the notes she'd made from our appt. She put blatant false information, some of which I'd corrected in person and some she pulled out of the air, including symptoms I've never had in my life. It was like she was determined to prove I had an imaginary problem. I paid off the bill from her office and made no further appointments. Her staff was excellent, which makes her sketchy behavior look even worse.

Dr. Susan Gouge will along with the staff of Life Care neglect your family member. She will let them lay in a bed in sepsis shock before deciding to run tests and send them to a real professional physician. Listed below are questions. to answer them thre does not do her neglect justice. as far as visits, my mother should have had many visits with her but she did not. when asked to call and speak with the family , she would not. This woman does not deserve to be caring for the elderly.
