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.

Dr. Fallis has always explained his recommendations as well as alternate treatment and we then discuss which option might serve me better. When any change is made, he makes sure I know how to contact him and that he has no issues with helping even between appointments. Also, when he found out I travel from Clarksville, at least 70 minutes and very hard to predict traffic, he told me unless there are issues, every other appointment could be telehealth. No other provider seems to care.

I’m not sure yet . He listened to me but didn’t appear to hear me. He stated to me several times so you have diabetes I said no I have lupus. He said have you ever been a car wreck ? I said no so he never really told me what he was looking for or what he thought but he did order test and gave prescriptions. And told me I needed to get rest. I don’t have a problem sleeping. So I guess I will see what he says from all the test.

Knowledgeable of conditions; listens to patient
Dr. Fallis asked questions, reviewed medical records, and made appropriate referrals for further testing. follow-up visit was made the same day as MRI,. He read the results and explained thoroughly, setting a treatment plan to follow.

I first saw Dr. Fallis on December 1st. When I met him, it was like meeting an old friend. I was there for an MS EVALUATION. He treated my immediate concerns with medication and we are following up next month after my field vision test to make sure that the meds did their job. I'm also scheduled for a neck/c spine MRI right before my visit with him. At that time, we can make a definitive diagnosis and a treatment plan with him. He was very likable and concerned about MY issues. TOP NOTCH DOC!!!

I had never met him and he came thru the door and said sorry, there is nothing that can be done for you. I asked about physical therapy, and he said no, and walked out. Did not discussed why or how he reached that decision. I'm thankful he is no longer with St Thomas and moved out of State.

He is the most professional, considerate , and smartest Doctor I have had since being diagnosis with MS. I had a very unusual test results from a lumbar puncture of something other than MS. Dr. Fallis was so expedient on getting me the help I needed.

Thank goodness I moved away from Nashville and was able to find a good neurologist. I have MS and can't speak to patients with other conditions, but he was completely incompetent when it came to treating me. Rude, unprofessional, uninterested, dismissive, egotistical...made me feel like an inconvenience. It scares me to think what would have happened if I had to rely on him for treatment of my MS.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fallis for over six years. I have active resistant MS that did not respond to several medications. Dr. Fallis found one that worked. He is through, professional and very knowledgeable in his field as well as friendly. I do and have recommended him to my friends in need of his experience.

Dr. Callis was friendly, kind, and listened to me. He thoroughly looked through the notes and MRI in my file (another Dr. who is no longer in the practice previously saw me). He told me what he believed had caused my conditions and asked several questions. He changed one med that is not working well to a new med. I was very satisfied with Dr. Callis because he truly cared about getting me better.
