I stormed out of my colonoscopy on Tuesday, November 28, 2023 before it even began! Worst medical experience of my life! Run don’t walk away from the arrogant and condescending Dr. Michael Frist! A cattle call prison intake environment! Rude nurse! Horrendous lobby with chairs jamming patients in like sardines! This joint is a low class billing machine! I had to stand up in the hallways while being interrogated by the intake nurse! They were just about to take me back to perform a colonoscopy when I picked up my phone and st... read more
Four days of extreme chest pain from jackhammer esophageal spasms. I called when the office opened on Monday. Never heard from him until late Tuesday afternoon. He refused to prescribe the meds that stop the spasms telling me I'd have to get it from my primary. Additionally told me that there was nothing more that he could do and that I have to see my primary. I'm sorry aren't you the expert? My primary sent me to you! Dr Frist only likes to do procedures. He will NOT help you otherwise. I made a huge mistake dealing with hi... read more
I would not recommend Dr. Frist. He is completely apathetic to your health and well-being as a patient.
Dr Frist is a very cold and hateful person. I am unable to speak and use an application to speak what I type. After being informed of one thing then waking up and I did not get what he promised. As he spoke to me with an uncaring look of disgust all over him, I began to type my response. This man litterly grabbed my hand so I could not type my response. He made sure I listened to him, not caring what I had to say using my voice application as I tried to get an understanding of my procedure.

Probably one of the worst doctors I have ever experienced. He didn’t listen to anything I said, no exam, less than a 5 minute visit and I left with a prescription. This was my second visit as I wanted to give the practice a second shot as it can highly recommended. My first visit I was told to take Miralax after over a year of issues. He is rude, arrogant, unprofessional and has no business working with patients. Happy he collected the money for a 3 minute appointment with no exam.

Dr. Frist came in right away and was really friendly, which was great. Then he asked me about my symptoms. I told him the symptoms and that I could guess what his diagnosis was and I didn't think that was it. In fact, the reason I was seeing him was because I saw one of his colleagues the week before and he gave me that diagnosis and I didn't think it lined up with my symptoms. He still didn't take me seriously and just said it was pretty much the same thing without looking or asking any further

If you want a doctor that seems concerned for you, is patient, and gives you a feeling of security knowing that you're in good hands, I recommend NOT going to see Dr. Frist. I gave him a year and half to help deal with my Crohn's. I truly think he's one of those doctors that got into it for the money and status. It's certainly not because he has a true passion to care for people. He always seemed rushed when I was with him and forget trying to talk to him on the phone. He really hates that.

Dr. Michael Frist is the worst doctor I have ever met. He is rude, arrogant, disrespectful, and not compassionate at all, he is just plain nasty. I have never come in contact with with a temperament like his. I took my invalid 80 year old mother for an appointment with him recently and he asked her why she was back to see him and that she needed to follow up with her primary care doctor because he could not help her. He berated her in front his staff. Big mistake in choosing him, huge!
Worst Dr ever....distracted. ..disconnected. Always felt rushed almost to the extent he was rude. ..still being billed and haven't seen him since January 2015... my primary care referred me to another gastro who ordered an abdominal scan and found a mass..lost my job and insurance before I could get the MRI ordered by the second gastro. ..Frist didn't look hard enough....my health is compromised and it's Frist fault! Doesn't deserve the title of Dr. Horrible. ..just horrible!
