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.

Love Dr Jerkins but sadly have not been pleased at all with his new practice. Had to wait 5 extra months for an appt after they cancelled on my mom. Then she needed to be seen for a recheck and having to wait an additional 5 weeks for an opening. Staff are not helpful or friendly. We miss his old practice in Brentwood.

Friendly, thorough, explains things clearly. Helped me feel at ease about some freaky ocular migraine symptoms. The office is responsive to calls and concernes. I trust this doc and would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Jerkins explains eye issues in a way that's completely scientific, but comes across as completely understandable to a layperson. I can't say enough how the entire staff at this office is very professional from sign in to check out. If you want top notch eye care in the Nashville area, do yourself a favor and make an appointment.
