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.

Outstanding Care!
Dr. May always takes the time to not only address your needs But he also as how things have been going always. Got to know me from the start. What my daily life is like. The things that I had been struggling with. And how could he help! Anytime I need anything he is always there. I can leave a message and he will get back with me properly. He just really knows what to do and how to treat not only your illnesses but you as a patient. Always with respect and concern. I have never had a PCP as good as him in my life! Would recommend him to anybody!

Caring Christian Doctor
I have been a patient of his for 3 yrs now. He is so kind, patient,and brilliant in his craft. He prays with you. He does not believe in prescribing lots of meds. He will educate you,but will not force you to take them. He prescribed a cream for my hand a few years ago. I have never had the issue again. He is wonderful. I always feel uplifted and motivated after a visit with him. He is a great asset to St. Thomas medical group. So worth driving from Dickson County to see him.

Impeccable care
Coming from a medical family (and having grown up with incredible medical care) I can attest Dr. May's care is exemplary.He is thorough, efficient and detailed. While also warm, kind, understanding and compassionate. We all know medical providers--especially MDs--are limited in the amount of time they can spend with us. My last visit with Dr. May was to address some complex phenomena and logistics surrounding my medical and wellbeing needs. He assessed both the big picture and all related 'smaller' logistics so wonderfully and efficiently. I walked out of the appointment feeling very seen, heard and attended to. Thank you SO much, Dr. May!Having an incredible doc provides a stronger sense of safety and security in our chaotic world. Priceless.I am incredibly grateful.

Dr. May is an exceptional doctor!!
Dr. May doesn't rush you through the visit. He takes his time and listens to everything you have to say and addresses all your needs. If you have something going on and need a referral he gets it done. He's positive and is always encouraging me!! He has prayed with me before. He is just so kind and caring and just the best doctor I've ever had!!

Great doctor who treats you like a friend
I've been a patient of Dr. May for about 12 years now. He is amazing, always has time to listen and will work you in quickly if needed. He also goes outside of what regular doctors do. At one point I was pretty sick and we were trying to figure it out, he gave me his cell phone number and told me to call or text if I ever need anything.

Dr. May listen, is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and takes time to listen to you as the patient. I’m in my 50s and have been to my fair share of doctors. This gentleman is by far the best I’ve ever encountered. His staff is top notch as well. Not only is Dr. May an amazing doctor he is a kind person as well. He has addressed and solved different issues for me, and has my lifelong gratitude.

Dr. May is the only doctor I’ve ever found that will spend the time to get to know you, your family and work life. And he will still remember those details on a yearly check-up. You will NEVER feel rushed once Dr. May is in the room with you. He listens to my questions and concerns, works together with me to find solutions and is always concerned with finding the perfect solution for whatever I am going through. There is also the great option of being able to have a virtual visit when you need to do a quick check-in or have questions. As well as the patient portal when you can message for refills, appointments or any general questions. My only complaint would have been, in previous years the front desk staff wasn’t very friendly and never responded to the patient portal messages. Now there is amazing new staff who makes you feel extremely welcome!
