Dr. Hong-McAtee was excellent and put my nervous son at ease. Her treatment plan also involved minimizing distress to my child by requesting we ask next Dr in Gastroenterology to pull her labs when they do theirs, rather than subjecting my 4yo to two separate blood draws. I felt this showed a special level of thoughtfulness for patient comfort when the Endocrinology labs were non-urgent.

Dr. Irene McAtee is the absolute best! We love the way she explains everything in a way that we can understand. She really cares about you and it shows with her bedside manner. We hate the traffic in Nashville, and was told that we could move our visit to Murfreesboro, where we live, but it would be with another doctor. My husband, son, and I decided would would rather tough it out with Nashville traffic than to give up Dr. Irene McAtee! She really is great!!!
