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.

Bad experience - I will not return.

I highly recommend Dr. Ralph. She is professional, knowledgeable caring and very thorough. She goes over all my test results with me, listens to me and responds with good counsel and treatment as needed. She and her team followup on calls and address my needs. I greatly appreciate having someone taking care of my health that I trust.

Dr. Ralph is always pleasant, even when she was pregnant. She never rushed, took time to listen, she is genuine and very caring.

I was so pleased with my visit with Dr Ralph in April 2020. She reviewed my last visit with an NP and listened to me completely. She addressed ALL concerns that I had and I left feeling so encouraged about my appointment and the health plan that she recommended. Dr Ralph is so real, so approachable, empathetic and wants the best for me!

While Dr. Ralph is very knowledgeable some of her nurse practitioners and nurses are not very good. The quality of your visit depends on who you get and there is a big difference in knowledge, skill set and approach of care. Due to the lack of professionalism with some of the nurse practitioners I would not recommend using this practice.

I love Dr. Ralph. She is very thorough with me. Explanation is given and all my questions are answered. Doctors are always in a hurry, but she takes time and does not seem bothered when I have extra questions. With a lot of issues to deal with, I try to be a good patient and I'll have a good doctor. I do have an excellent physician in Dr. Ralph. For urgent appointments, it's hard to get in anywhere so I usually use the walk in clinic for those. They can order any needed tests.

Going to the doctor is not always a pleasant experience but with Dr. Ralph, I feel very comfortable. She is thorough in explaining results from testing and labs, which I appreciate greatly. I no longer live in Tennessee, but I still continue to go to Dr. Ralph for my annual physicals because of how much I trust and like her. She really listens and puts your mind at ease about things that you may have concerns about.

I was needing a new primary care physician and chose to see Dr. Ralph. I have seen her twice, once for a blood pressure issue I was experiencing and later for an annual physical. I have found Dr. Ralph to be extremely courteous, thorough, and professional. When discussing with me the results of my physical, she explained each category to help me understand my results and overall health. I have been very pleased.

When I selected Dr. Ralph as my PCP (in Nov), I was told her first available appointment for new patients was 9 months away (Aug)! I have been making all my appointments with her NP. My last appointment I had with her NP just happened to fall in Aug so I cancelled my appointment with Dr. Ralph. I booked my next yearly exam with Dr. Ralph which was then 18 months out!

Dr. Ralph did not pay much attention to my concerns. I had a physical by her and all she did was read to me my blood test results. I never sat on the table, I never put on a gown, none of the normal things a doctor would do in a annaul physical. She did not give me the kit to test for blood in my stools nor did I have a urirn sample taken. I got a stool testing kit from someone else. I had blood in my stools and ended up having an colonscopy the next day, band had a large polop removed.

I established with Dr. Ralph several months ago, I've been to see her twice for a regular checkup and for a recent sickness. I had a great experience with the front office staff and her nurse. Dr. Ralph spent a lot of time with me and went over test results with me in great detail, she is by far the most thorough doctor I've ever seen, extremely nice and accommodating as well.
