I've used Endocrinology Consultants for diabetes a long time and am very pleased with them. My doctor is Emit Vora and he is very thorough. I mainly see Cortney Jardet, PA who is awesome and so is her nurse, Tracy Beaty! They have a great staff who are always helpful, courteous, and professional.

Fantastic experience! Dr. John Williams was extremely thorough, explained all the possibilities & procedures. Lab technician was friendly & efficient. Front desk was cheerful & check in went smoothly. When checking on payments due, Amy was super friendly & explained every detail of benefits! I couldn't have asked for a better experience at Endocrinology Consultants!

Dr. Love day and the other dr I saw were amazing! Very polite, made sure I understand everything, and ran a lot of test to find the problem and come up with treatment. I am very pleased with this office. My old endocrinologist I would have to wait 4-6 hours at times after driving an hour and a half to his office.

In dire need of new business managers! The process is broken as is today's healthcare. If you are not interested in patient care and are suffering burnout as a health care provider, find another career. Don't make patients in need of care suffer due to your shortcomings & unhappiness as providers. This includes all staff members.

If you're disabled or chronically struggle to manage your sugar levels for whatever reason, don't bother here. As of recently, they only treat "good diabetics", those with their A1C levels below 9, including patients that have been established with them for years. But wait! Before they force you out, you have the (mandatory) option to pay them for an extra appointment where they give you education.
If you've done that and it doesn't fix the problem, only then will they drop you as a patient! So seeing as how my challenges with my blood sugar aren't because I'm not educated enough on my condition, and I'm not paying for them to tell me that, I can't come back. Also, they promote body shaming to achieve weight loss at this office. Overall, these people aren't worth your time and money.

This practice including the lab, physicians and nursing staff have been the most responsive and professional group of people I have met in a long time. I have been a patient for over 5 years and cannot think of an unpleasant experience. No one really like to have to go to the doctor, but they make it as easy as they can.

I had an appointment with Dr Campbell at the Knoxville office. I was told that I would have to have my labs done at their office. I explained to them that my insurance would only pay for one certain lab. If my bloodwork goes anywhere else I have to pay for it. They refused to let my labs go to the lab where it doesn't cost me anything so I had to cancel my appointment. Evidently patient care is not as important as money.
