Thank you for your patience.
To help us provide better service for our patients, we have upgraded to a new and improved electronic medical records system.
We appreciate your patience as we continue to learn how to use our new system and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We are also experiencing problems with our telephone system, and we understand your frustration with not being able to contact us. We are working diligently to resolve these issues. If you receive a message that you have reached a non working number, please call back. The problem is intermittent, and you should be able to eventually reach us. We sincerely apologize for this and hope to have it resolved very soon.
Thank you for choosing Internal Medicine Associates!
We wanted to provide an update to our patients regarding our office response to the coronavirus pandemic. Our office is open, and we are going to great lengths to follow CDC guidelines regarding social distancing and cleaning while continuing to provide all of our patients with quality care. Everyone who enters our building, including employees, must have their temperature checked prior to entry. We also ask that everyone wear a cloth mask while in the building. When we call to remind your of your appointment, you may be instructed to wait in your car and call when you arrive. We are doing this to minimize the number of patients in our reception area at the same time. All patients with a fever or respiratory symptoms are screened and treated in a separate area outside the building. We want to assure you that we are taking every possible precaution to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. In addition to these precautions, our physicians are offering patients the option of telemedicine appointments when it is appropriate. This allows patients to have a virtual visit with their physician if they don’t feel comfortable getting out during this time. A recent article in the Knoxville News-Sentinel provides more information about Telemedicine. Please call the office if you would like to schedule a telemedicine appointment.
Farewell to Elizabeth Gager, NP
Nurse Practitioner, Elizabeth Gager and her family have moved to Nashville. We will certainly miss Elizabeth at IMA, and we know our patients will miss her as well. We wish her the best and know she will be an asset in the new community she serves. Here are some pictures with IMA family on Elizabeth’s last day.
