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.

Obviously knows his field.
I have had a chronic cough for years and have been to many many doctors without any results. I went to an allergist that sent me to Dr. Fordice and he obviously had read my file and and gave me a new med that is helping my chronic cough without suggesting a slew of tests that I had had many times. Med is not 100% cure but helps greatly. Afterword, (wondering about it since it is not a standard treatment for cough) I did some research of my own and discovered that it was a relatively new treatment that is working in some patients so apparently he does keep up with his medical field! I was impressed the first visit and was convinced it was a Godsend (as I had prayed before he entered the room!) I told him he was a genius in my book! (Who had a little help maybe from Above as well) As all doctors are, he was a bit brisk and rushed second visit but to be expected of any doctor with the stresses they have. Third visit I felt like I was listened to…no complaints.

I can hear again!
You don't know what you been missing til you are finally able to hear clearly again. After yrs of suffering from the effects of wax build-up in my ears, going to numerous appts with pcp and/or urgent care only to leave disappointed, I finally have relief! Dr Fordice was wonderful! Caring, knowledgeable, and quickly took care of something that had been an issue for what seemed like forever. The office staff great as well. Everyone we met were friendly and welcoming and very professional. I highly recommend!

Dr. Fordice's office staff were very friendly and pleasant. They explained everything as they diagnosed my vertigo problem. I felt comfortable and satisfied with their diagnosis and recommended treatment.

I first saw Dr. Fordice in 1999 for a swollen lymph node on my neck. I'd had it for about 8 months and was advised to wait. Then I had to wait 3 more months to see an ENT when I found him in Nashville. They got me right in, he ordered a needle biopsy and diagnosed cancer that day. I credit him and my oncologists in Mufreesboro for saving my life. I'm cancer free! Saw him last year when nothing was working for Vestibular Migraines. One script and my Vestibular issues were controlled. My Godsend!

I was having severe hearing loss in one ear and Middle TN ENT was able to get me in quickly to solve my problem. Dr. Fordice was able to quickly diagnose my problem and within minutes, my issue was solved. In addition, Dr. Fordice has a tremendous bedside manner that would make any patient comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Fordice and Middle TN ENT. -Melissa J

I saw Dr. Fordice for hearing loss and for my sinus problems. I have been to many doctors over the past several years and I was impressed with how thorough he was. He is kind, caring and very informative. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

I feel that dr. For dice literally saved my sister's life when she had cancer in her lymp nodes. He performed surgery twice to get all the cancer..I feel that without his skill as a dr. She would not be here today. I am so grateful for this skilled dr. Not only does he know his calling he also is a very nice and friendly dr. He has never rushed us and always answers all our questions. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.
