Pain Associates of North Tennessee

I was referred to Pain Associates of North Tennessee by a dear friend and I thank the Lord that she did. I was approved for disability a year ago this month. Ranita, Dr. Lennon and the rest of the staff are absolutely AWESOME! My pain level was through the roof! I have a protruding disc in my neck and severe arthritis in my back and all over! They seem sincere in their caring and concern for my well being and are willing to work with me to find the right medications that work for me. I recommend them now and will in the future to anyone that is in chronic pain to go see these wonderful people that care. I don't feel like a head of cattle being herded through just to hurry up to get me out of there. Dr. Lennon listens to you and tries very hard to help in every way he can. I can't say enough good things about my experiences there and how much better I'm doing. I still have pain but it's not excruciating as before. My quality of life has improved greatly and I have to give them the credit. Just to let everyone know, one of the best things about them is that you don't have to sit there for an hour or more before you get in to see them and you don't sit in the patient room another hour waiting like I've had to do in the past! Thanks to ALL of them for helping me and truly caring about my welfare! Sincerely, Sheri Ireland. more

I am a work comp case and as probably alot of you are aware in comp cases there is very little hope for help and I firmly believe we are treated differently, very little help at all no matter what. When I finally got to come here I had about given up hope but with this clinic the staff especially Mrs.Allen the nurses and everyone there they got me on a treatment plan where I can at least try to live and function and think there is hope again. They have always been very kind and compassionate to me and I wasnt a comp case but a person with a major injury which they have helped me to at least get thru life with. I will always have chronic pain for the rest of my life due to my injury but they have proven to me that there are great medical people out there to help and who do care even if you are a work comp case or not. I love all of the ladies there and thank god for them and they are the reason I can cope no matter what each day of pain brings. more

When I came to this office, I was in unbelievable pain and no one could help me. I have chronic back pain and I'm in a job that requires me to be on my feet ALL day long, so it's constantly aggravated. Some of the best health care professionals I've seen in my life have been nurse practitioners, and none of the so called ""doctors"" or ""orthopedic surgeons"" couldn't ease my pain. Angie is awesome--a miracle worker. She was able to diagnosis my problems before all of the xrays, scans, etc. Her explanations made sense and were always correct. The reason they are strict about the pills is so you don't accidentally kill yourself---which anyone with a right mind would understand and appreciate---not to mention that it is illegal for you to take more pills than you are supposed to---so she's savin' your neck from going to jail as well. You should be thankin' her instead of berating her. \r more

I really love this group of great ladies, they know their stuff!! I'm pleased that they are listening to how your feeling, and not rushing you through. They are very careful on your med's and making sure you stay on track. Thanks, Shirley more

I really believe that this clinic and everyone in it is very nice. Every time I'm seen, they take the time to listen to what I have to say as a patient and never rushes me out the door. I also like the fact that she monitors her patients pill management to ensure that medication is being used how its suppose to be used. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for an outstanding Pain Management Clinic. more

This clinic is listed under a doctors name but you will not ever be seen by a doctor only a nurse practitioner, who has a foul attitude. This is suppose to be a pain management clinic, but it is more like a pill management clinic. They will have you to the point where you will be fearful of taking your medication, in fear that your pill count will be off. Note: They do count your pills, do call you in for random pill count and will make you take urine test. I took pictures with my phone when the girl that was suppose to be counting my pills left them up on the front desk with no one around. Then when she counted my pills today, she wiped her nose with the back of her hand and proceeded to touch each pill with no glove on. You are better off going to Dover Road Medical Center than here. more
