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.

Saved My Mom!!
My mother had esophageal cancer a few years ago. She was told by another dr and facility that the only way to save her would be old school high dose chemo then surgery. My dad contacted Provision proton therapy, spoke with Dr Meek and she was definitely a candidate for proton therapy. It saved her life!! Dr Meek & Dr Dobbs saved her life! She never felt an ounce of pain with her treatments and never had to have surgery. After a few months of treatments, she walked out of there cancer free and has remained that way since. Dr Meek is the best ever!! He listens to the patient, discusses with them steps ahead and makes plans with them, not for them. He’s a wonderful, kind soul and only has the best in mind for his patients. Don’t hesitate to see him! The facility and staff are also top notch! The staff are hands down amazing and caring. I met people from all of the world flying in to receive treatments at this facility. Please don’t hesitate- make the call to see them.

Dr Meeks has a been a life saver to me. He always has a smile on his face when he walks in the door. He is mild mannered patient and kind. He has helped me along my journey and helping me beat cancer. I am very lucky to have found him and the proton center. He is great at what he does and cares about his patients.

Dr. Meek does a thorough physical exam of the chest during my visits, and I have confidence in what he tells me as we discuss his findings. He is knowledgeable about my health issues and answers any questions to my satisfaction. I'm happy to have him as a health advisor.

Dr. Meek is an outstanding physician and individual. After meeting with Dr. Meek, on my first appointment, to begin Proton. Therapy, I immediately knew I I had an outstanding Dr in Dr. Meek. He thoroughly explained everything about my treatments and answered all my questions, where I could understand. Dr. Meek is a very kind and caring person and obviously cares about his patients. I am very fortunate, to have been under the care of such an outstanding Dr. as Dr. Meek.

ERNEST ROBST in CROSSVILLE, TN. – Mar 24, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Meek?
Dr. Meeks doesn't hurry through an office visit and gives a complete exam at each visit. He answers questions. Spends a lot of time at first visit explaining radiation process. However, did not explain all potential post radiation side effects. Experienced multiple fractured ribs after breast cancer proton therapy, starting shortly after completing therapy until now. I wasn't expecting this to happen.

Amanda Pritchett in Decatur Tennessee – Mar 24, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Meek?
Dr Meek and staff were personal as well as professional. They had either experienced the issues of dealing with radiation and its events by personal or patient orientation. I had no issues that the techs and nurses under Dr Meek did not understand and even anticipated. Dr Meek often prescribed meds prior to that need, also investigated residual post chemo problems. I feel that the best decision I made was to travel to Knoxville for Proton Therapy instead of tradional radiation.

I absolutely love Dr. Meek and would (did!) trust him with my life. He answered all my questions and never seemed impatient or eager to move on to the next patient. He was one of the few doctors that actually looked at my mammogram images and explained what they meant. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to my family and friends

I had 39 treatments ( November 2015-January 2016 ) for prostate cancer. I am 84 years old and have never encountered a more professional, skilled medical staff. The non-medical staff was equally skilled. My family and I was treated with dignity and respect by everyone. I highly recommend Provision Proton!!!
