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.

Ablation
The hospital staff care was outstanding; the medical including dr. Pickett, came by prior to the procedure to information about roles and what would be happening as well as answer any questions; the visits provide reassurance to the patients

The professionalism of the staff. My interaction with the doctor who met for the first time was comfortable, a bit short.

Everything on my report was wrong
Took me 3 months to get report of my visit. The only thing correct on the report was my name and DOB. Wrong on everything! I do not have a mechanical valve, nor a pacemaker, nor an implanted defibrillator, and never had! I wrote to this doctor explaining my issues with this report and never heard back in a month, as I requested. I will file a complaint with the TN Medical Board and my insurance company. My GP was shocked, as was I. I thought he had been attentive. I guessed wrong.

Very effective heart doctor
I had afib after having had atrial flutter. Dr Pickett performed a catheter ablation 2 years ago that has been life saving. My checkup yesterday showed a normal heart beat on the ekg and I am able to exercise and enjoy life. Thanks Dr Pickett, Chad and all of the staff that works there.

Friendly and concise
Listened to my review of my issues. Gave logical advice. Only issue was got 3 text messages to remind me of my visit at main hospital, 45 min away ,however visit was actually in different town at my local MD office. I called scheduling after 1 st message to confirm where I was actually to go. The message service needs updating

Dr. Pickett has always been upfront and very willing to explain issues and procedures. I was very nervous about my ablation and Dr. Pickett was patient and kind. He is very knowledgeable and professional. His office staff were pleasant as well. Highly recommend.

Capable, competent, thorough.
I am speaking on behalf of my Dad who enjoyed his visit and thought Dr. Pickett was just top notch. I also, want to celebrate him bit on behalf of the 4 friends so far, who have recommended him highly. I don't see their reviews here but phrases like 'perfect fit' and 'he changed my life, I owe him everything', were uttered from my friends. We feel very blessed to have found Dr. Pickett and look forward to our visits. We are in very capable hands.

Afib
It was thought I had an Afib. The first thing Dr Pickett said first we need to make sure you have an Afib. Test were done and I didn't have Afib. Which impressed me due to him not doing any procedures until making sure I did or didn't have Afib. Thanks, would recommend
