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.

Horrible Experience
Absolutely horrible experience. They disregard concern for continuity of care, lack clear communication, and leave you in a position with out the ability to refill expired prescriptions for serious heart medications. I am filing a grievance with Tricare. ALL VETERANS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a patient of Dr Brunson for several years. He was instrumental in my recovery after a severe car accident. His staff, front and back office has been so welcoming and attentive. I recommended him and his staff including the Physical therapists to everyone.

The staff here used to be great. I can't remember the last time I was seen at my appt time. I had one of the NP replace my IUD and could not get it properly and refused to ask for help for over 20 min until I was crying in pain and she finally got the doctor to assist. (which I had to get it removed under anesthesia because it was put in too far). At the start of COVID I tried to make an appointment and they informed me that they were not taking United any longer (no notice given) and it would be a higher rate. So I moved to another doctor. Now their office manager is refusing to transfer my records to my new doctor unless I pay them $150. Records manager was rude with me saying it is their right and if I wanted my records I knew the price. I have never had a doctors office charge me any fees to transfer my records to another dr. My new doctor said it is poor practice to request a patient to pay to transfer their own records to another for continuation of care. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Dr. Brunson and his staff are excellent. I have been his patient since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, about 10 years and I have been treated well with respect. Also my health issues and questions are taken seriously and my questions are answered. I give Dr. Brunson and his staff 10 stars.

I have been going to Carillon Sports & Family Medicine for over 10 years. The staff has always been professional and knowledgeable. They are thorough during my annual physicals, and are open to discuss any concerns I may have, as well as pointing out important medical issues, e.g. flu shots, age related procedures, etc... I generally see a nurse for my annual physical and they have all been professional and well educated. I have been to Dr. Brunson a few times for injuries, and have received great care. I am absolutely confident in Dr Brunson and the staff's medical skills, knowledge and care for me and my family!

After my experience today, this office deserves ZERO stars. I have been a patient at Adam Brunson's office for over 10 years. Adam is fantastic, most of the back office staff is great, but, WTF... the front office is a nightmare! I have ignored all the 1 stars over the years, even consulted Brunson on the front office "disasters" that I have witnessed over the years happening to other patients, I'm in marketing, but today, it happened to me. I got tag teamed by the front office staff and Nicole

The Dr. is great, unfortunately his office management practices are questionable. When I attempted to set up yearly checkup, I was informed that I could not discuss blood pressure meds and a separate visit would be required to get a prescription refill. When I informed them I would have to find another primary care provided because it was ridiculous to set up 2 separate visits for insurance billing, they blocked my online portal access so I can no longer access my medical records.

You don't actually get to meet Dr. Brunson--you work with the nurse practitioner mostly. I am new to the area and found this location online through other reviews. I've found the experience to be below average. The NP doesn't contact you regularly unless you write to her in the patient portal. When you get a reply, it is not even that friendly (kind of curt in her responses). She wasn't proactive about finding solutions or providing suggestions--I had to keep writing for help in the portal.

I have been a patient for 3 years. I saw Dr. Brunson on my first visit and once when having a hip problem. I see his PA every 3 months to monitor my hypothyroid. I have confidence in all of those I have seen and do not have any complaints. I agree with others that it is a busy office, but it is very efficient and caring. Since I have to go so often, I can vouch for their consistency. I think that I get good care from his practice.

I've been going to Carillon Sports and Family Medicine for about 16 months. I've seen the actual Doctor, Dr. Brunson once. I have Alzheimer's (very beginning) Disease and have missed a few appointments. Last year I was out of their network and the missed appointments cost me $50 a pop. Now that I'm in network they can only charge $15. So they gave me my walking papers. Told me never to come back

Dr. Brunson's office is the whole package...from greeting to departure, each and every staff member works to meet your needs in an effective, humane manner. We have been patients in this practice for six years and are very appreciative of the level of care we receive. We highly recommend this practice!

I went to this office for about a year and only ever saw the nurse practitioners. They are either too busy or too apathetic to be bothered with patient problems. Their responses ranged from unkind to down right rude. I would not recommend this practice to anyone.

My experience with this doctors office has been terrible to say the least. I was referred to a dr from this office who ended up messing up on my surgery leading to my ankle needing to be fused. I am constantly having my migrane meds messed up so I can't get them for weeks. They hold my prescription so I can't get them if I don't go into them multiple TIME a year. I never have good service and constantly stated how much I hate them. I am always upset when having to deal with this office.
