I just got out of the hospital 45 day stay for multiple problems including blood clot in my lung and heart attack with Stent placement Severe degenerative arthritis in my spine and shoulder. Initially unable to walk. Went to rehab to walk again. Upon discharge I SCREAM with pain Upon getting in and out of bed or turning over in bed. Upon my discharge Dr bates stopped my pain medication. He stated he doesn't believe in pain medication. As bad as it sounds I can only hope he hears a loved one SCREAM in pain over and over. DON'... read more
Dr. Bates has been my family’s primary physician for 10 years. His office is at CHI Memorial- Ooltewah. I have found the staff and nurses at Memorial Ooltewah to be kind and very efficient. I have yet to wait longer than 15 minutes to get to the exam room. Dr. Bates really cares for me and my health. He is thorough, conscientious, and very knowledgeable. He always asks me, before the visit is over, if I have any questions or concerns. This means a lot. His demeanor is always friendly, even when I know he is very busy. I woul... read more
I had an extremely rude and demeaning experience with him. From the very beginning, he made me feel like he didn’t want to care for me. I patiently tried explaining my medical situation and he kept cutting me off as I was stupid. Who would ever trust a doctor to be genuinely interested in your wellbeing when you’re treated like that? A professional doctor would have the courtesy to be patient and hear his clients’ needs. I am very disappointed and do not recommend seeing him again.
Dr. Bates seems genuinely interested in the reason for my visits, is thorough, and compassionate. He was also my mother-in-law's physician and took extra time with her to explain, and when the time came to call in Hospice, he did an extraordinary job of being professional and at the same time, caring.
Dr. Bates is the best primary care physician I have ever had. He is medically knowledgeable yet is very caring and compassionate. At a visit he is always prepared for our meeting, takes time and listens well, and offers sound medical advice. I would highly recommend Dr. Bates and have already done so with family and friends
I have used Dr Bates for the last 5 years. He listens to my health concerns, diagnosed my issues and recommended treatment / medications to help me. He takes the time to answer all my questions. If I have an issue or reaction with a medication he immediately changes the medication no problem.
Dr Bates is fantastic caring physician. He cares for family members..Calls after hours to check on patients.
Dr. Bates is by far the best doctor I've ever had and I would recommend him to anyone.
I called Dr Bates' office (CHI Memorial Ooltewah) and was told that he was accepting new patients. I gave my insurance info etc.. I never received a call back so I called his office and asked for an update. His receptionist told me that he declined taking me as a new patient. All I needed was a primary care doctor for physicals and general care. I have to assume he doesn't care for the insurance that I carry, even though I did verify that they do in fact accept my insurance.
