CLARA WOMACK, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Womack is absolutely wonderful in every way. In our initial introduction, she was kind & welcoming, while being honest & straightforward. She’s exactly what I was praying for in a doctor! She comforted me at a very scary time & quelled my fear, while also leading me with a plan of hope. Days after my first appointment, a mishap occurred with a referral appointment. Dr. Womack called me from her personal number to inquire why the referral appointment was cancelled. I told her I had not cancelled it. She walked over to the referred doctor’s office, buildings over from her office, and personally got my appointment back for me. I was absolutely floored! She is amazing!!! Thank you, Dr. Womack for actually caring about your patients. Thank you for being such a rare gem in this day and age!.

I have never had a better experience for a doctors visit. Dr Womack saw me at my appointment time. She made me feel like I was the only patient she had. Her time spent with me was continuous. She made me feel good. I would highly recommend her to my friends. I look forward to my next appointment.

Dr Womack is very thorough and easy to talk with. She is also very knowledgeable in her field. She also calls you promptly with your test results and explains everything to you. Her whole staff makes you feel comfortable and they are very nice.

Dr Dan is great. He knows his stuff and treats you with compassion. He is easy to talk to and really listens. He and Southern Kidney Specialists helped save my life when my kidneys failed after having sepsis. I highly recommend him!!!.

Doctor D's entire staff including he, showed a genuine concern for my issues, felt comfortable disgusting them, He's very knowledgeable and thinks far ahead to prevent possible illnesses. Great Doctor.

Dr. Dandamudi is always professional, friendly, and thorough with my office visits. I would recommend him to my family/friends.

HEIDI M. SCHAEFER, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Schaefer has been my Nephrologist for over 10 years. I don't really have any other doctors near me that care quite like she does. I drive almost 3 hours one way to see her and her team at Vanderbilt because we can trust that she will find ways to improve my daily life. I cannot overstate how wonderful Dr. Schaefer is at her job. She's the best!.

Dr. Schaefer offered insight from her personal history throughout our dialogue concerning my issues on this visit which gave more credibility to what she said. Out another way, she wasn't addressing me so much as a doctor at that point but rather another person that was invested in me. Very cool experience.

Dr. Shafer is very personable and good bedside manner!!! She is the best Nephrologist very smart!!.
