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.

Top notch professional
I'll start by saying that I hate going to any Emergency Room! Fortunately, on this occasion we were met by Dr. Dunavant who was a true professional who took the time to ask all the right questions and found the cause for the excruciating stomach pain. Scott has an incredible bedside manner and is patient and caring.

Dr. Dunovant saw me at NCH Urgent care on 4/16/19. He and his staff were AMAZING...I have very bad anxiety when visiting the doctor and had to go under emergency circumstances. He made it a great experience. Wonderful bedside manner and very caring. He’s 10 stars! :-)

My wife suffered a hemorrhagic stroke on April 12, 2017 at about 8 pm. She was taken to the NCH emergency room. Dr. Dunavant and a nurse named Kathy took care of her and me that night. My wife, Karen, passed five days later. Obviously, this was a horrible situation for us. Dr. Dunavant and nurse Kathy were compassionate, patient, helpful and professional in dealing with Karen and me. I can't express how much I appreciated their support that night. Thank you Dr. Dunavant and nurse Kathy.
