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.

Dr Cheatham treated me when I went to ER with Covid. We had just moved here a few months before and he was such a caring and encouraging doctor!! On top of that he has a wonderful sense of humor!! He has since become our new primary care doctor and we have been so satisfied with the him, Kim and his entire staff! I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

I enjoy myself when I go to Dr. Cheatham’s appointments. He is very hilarious and he enjoys making you laugh and feel good. He’s doesn’t rush through his time with. When you leave you feel like you’re been to the doctor. I highly recommend him to anyone!

If you dont want to die i HIGHLY suggest avoiding this doctor. He thinks anyone is on drugs or at least that is how you will be treated and if a serious situation he is liable to just send you home and lie in his discharge report that you was treated when you were not.

I've see this doctor cheatham 4 or 5 times. Each time I've seen him for my old back. I felt like he thought I was drug shopping. Went in once and he told me to pray about my problem. This last time he was totally impersonal and just left the room and did not return with any " doctors advise"
He told me I would receive my test results in one week. I had to call a number of time to get answers 4 weeks later.
I'm surching for a new doc now.
Don't waste your time with this guy!

Dr Cheathum is a very thorough doctor who cares about his patience. He will take the time to listen to problems with every patient. Sometimes there is a wait but sometimes I am the one that needed the extra attention. I highly recommend Dr Cheathum and his staff for your family needs.

Doc took xrays cause of back/leg pain, said I had Arthritis, which I know I have had for 20 years. I asked him to review xray with me, he left room and a employee brought me my "checkout" paper along with a disc of my back. When I got home, I tried to look at the disc, and it required me to download medical report software, which I did not do. Also, he spent 5 minutes explaining type of bending, standing etc. In the past I have had several pt sessions and am aware of all this.
