University of Tennessee Medical Center – Knoxville
The University of Tennessee Medical Center was founded on the principle that every patient deserves unhurried, personalized medical attention. Today the practice continues to serve Knoxville with comprehensive Cardiology, Oncology, Orthopedics, Neurology, Gynecology, Urgent Care, and Surgery services.
The University of Tennessee Medical Center has built its reputation on reliable, consistent care. Patients know what to expect at each visit: a thorough evaluation, clear communication, and follow-up that keeps them informed and on track.
Our Services
Cardiology
Heart health requires consistent attention, and our cardiology department is equipped to provide it. We treat conditions including coronary artery disease, heart failure, valve disorders, and pericarditis.
Oncology
Oncology at our center is built around personalized medicine. We use molecular profiling and pathology review to identify the most effective treatment strategies for each patient.
Orthopedics
Persistent joint or muscle pain should not be ignored, and our orthopedic team is here to identify the root cause. We evaluate the spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle with equal expertise.
Neurology
Brain and nerve health significantly affects daily functioning, and our neurology team takes that seriously. We offer specialized clinics for headache, sleep disorders, and movement conditions.
Gynecology
Women's health care at our clinic is comprehensive and confidential. We perform in-office procedures including colposcopy, endometrial biopsy, IUD insertion and removal, and vulvar assessments.
Urgent Care
Accessible urgent care means no appointment, no long wait, and no unnecessary trip to the emergency room. Our team manages cuts, burns, fractures, infections, and acute illness with the same professionalism as your regular provider.
Surgery
Minimally invasive surgical techniques are preferred when clinically appropriate. Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches reduce recovery time, minimize post-operative pain, and lower complication rates for suitable patients.
Patient Experience
The University of Tennessee Medical Center takes patient satisfaction seriously, and the results show. Reflects a clinic where the clinical team treats each patient as an individual rather than a case number, investing time in understanding context and history during every appointment.
Insurance & Payment
The University of Tennessee Medical Center accepts multiple insurance plans and strives to keep out-of-pocket costs manageable for all patients. For those without insurance coverage, the billing team can provide a clear estimate of expected costs before services are rendered. Financial assistance resources and community health programs may be available for qualifying patients.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I reduce my risk of heart disease?
Key modifiable risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, elevated LDL cholesterol, physical inactivity, excess body weight, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular check-ups, medication when appropriate, and lifestyle modifications all contribute to meaningful risk reduction.
Is a stress test painful or risky?
Exercise stress tests are generally well-tolerated. Patients walk on a treadmill while heart activity is monitored. For those who cannot exercise adequately, pharmacological stress testing achieves the same diagnostic goals without physical exertion.
What symptoms should prompt a cardiology referral?
Chest pain or pressure, palpitations, unexplained shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, and swelling in the legs are all symptoms that warrant evaluation by a cardiologist. A primary care provider can help determine whether a referral is appropriate.
