Very soon we will have an AWESOME announcement....

07/04/2025

Our Wednesday staff would like to wish you a most happy Independence Day.

06/30/2025

Happy Monday! This is another friendly reminder we will be closed Thursday & Friday July 3-4 so that our staff can enjoy some time off for Independence Day!

Also, we are still providing hormone balancing! We have many who are enjoying the ease and benefits of bio-identical hormone pellet therapy. If you are a woman in perimenopause or menopause, or a man who has low testosterone, you can benefit from this safe and effective treatment! The cost is $300 per insertion which takes place every 3-4 months, labs are a little extra if you don't have insurance, and we will be announcing a pellet membership price soon, to help you spread out that cost.

Call us if you would like an initial consultation, 865-340-6346.

Happy Wednesday everyone! Just a little reminder that our clinic will be closed on Thursday and Friday July 3 & 4 to give our staff some much needed relaxation. Everyone reading this please check your medications now and if you're going to run soon, call TODAY to get an appointment scheduled! We will not be checking voicemail/email during this time.

If you have a child due for a wellness exam before the start of the school year, we highly encourage you to schedule those visits now. July is incredibly booked already.

We hope to have some good news on the additional practitioner slot very soon!

With East TN summer in full force, we want to remind our members to hydrate-hydrate-hydrate! Not just with water. As we sweat, we need sodium, potassium, and some natural sugars to help offset our sweat metabolism! 100oz of water per day per adults and even more if you're sweating a lot!!!

Oh, and please shower frequently and wear clean clothes before coming to the clinic!

Friends! I met a lovely lady Friday night or wanted to gift our clinic with some fun. Somewhere in our waiting room this rock is hiding. If you are the lucky person who finds it, she requests you post about it on the Facebook group Knoxville Rocks

Great news alert! Beginning July 7, iron infusions will be available at our clinic for established patients! We are finalizing details on cost, no it's not a bill-to-insurance as it's done in-office. For our patients who have anemia and no insurance, we hope this will be an answered prayer! If you have insurance, you can submit for out-of-network coverage, subject to your individual insurance agreement. Tenncare/Medicaid/Medicare does not permit out-of-network reimbursement.

Please call 865-340-6346 if you are an established patient and would like to schedule a visit to discuss iron infusions.

Hey everyone. We are in search of the next family nurse practitioner to join out practice. He/she must be functionally minded, compassionate and patient with patients, a willingness to learn, and a desire to minister to those seeking a holistic lifestyle. The ideal candidate may be a new nurse practitioner or seasoned. Full or part-time will be considered, as long as you show up for what you commit to. If you are interested, please send your curriculum vitae to Glen@StaffordFamilyCare.com and we will reach out to you to schedule a time to talk.

Happy June! Men & dads, and men who are dads -- we need you! We need your leadership, your masculinity, your protection, and your love. We are far better with you men in our world!

We need you all to take care of yourselves. We are not a mental health specialty, but we can treat uncomplicated depression as part of primary care services.

Please never, ever be afraid to make an appointment with us! We can do natural strategies such as neurotransmitter testing, supplement support, and yes we can prescribe medications when appropriate.

Parents of boys: Normalize them coming in for routine primary care visits so they do not become men who fear seeing their healthcare providers. Because we are collaborative and not big me-little you we can help develop positive relationships. And this practice will be around when they become men!

Have a great holiday and thank you to all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

It’s best to start a QUALITY prenatal vitamin 3 months prior to conception. Even better, get a checkup and labs prior to trying to conceive. Women who are overweight tend to have low vitamin D. It is better for the baby and mother to get to a healthy weight prior to conception. Dads can support moms in this mission by participating.

Babies born with low vitamin D levels are more likely to develop mental disorders like ADHD, schizophrenia, and autism later in life.
