Dr. Nelson Smith
Very deceptive practice

I visited this doctor after he contacted me via a third party website. I was seeking treatment for pain medication addiction. During speaking with his nurse on the phone I was told the consultation would be $290 CASH (that should have been my signal to shy away). When I asked the nurse over the phone what the total cost would be she said "Well, its different with every patient, but it should be about $800 total". I arrived on my appointment day and the nurse took the $290 cash and asked me to fill out paper work to be seens. Again she told me the cost should be a total of $800 and said there would be no refunds on the $290. Once I finished filling out the paper work the nurse called me back and I met with Mr. Smith, I wont give him the respect of DR. During our conversation he asked me several questions and I was very turthful with everything I told him. He said several times that I may not be eligable for this program. Well, after about 30 minutes of talking he agreed to start a program with me and said I needed to bring $800 on the next visit to get started. Then when I said wait I was told its about $800 total, he says no, no, no, Its about $4000 total over the course of the treatment year. So they lead you in by the nurse telling you its only $800, then you pay the $290 and then the crook comes in with the wammy!!! Now im out the $290 and still hooked on pain meds. What a crook!!! Stay away from him and his practice. His practice is called "Doctor at your Door Powell Minor ER". There are alot better doctors here in Knoxville to seek treatment from. I am now seeing one that charged me $600 first visit and $300 last visit for a total of $900 plus meds. Stay away from mr. NELSON SMITH!!! I should have also known to stay away when I walked in and the nurse that was there looked like she was strung out on drugs already.
