SGMC Health has named SGMC Family Medicine Nashville as its Practice of the Quarter, recognizing the team for consistently delivering compassionate, patient-centered care and earning strong praise from patients across the community.
Patients frequently highlighted family nurse practitioner Leigh Hendley and the care team for their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine commitment to listening. Reviews noted Hendley's thoroughness, clear communication, and broad medical knowledge, with many patients expressing appreciation for the time she takes to explain test results, treatment options, and care plans. Patients also cited her attentiveness to medication affordability and insurance coverage.
The practice team was repeatedly recognized for creating a welcoming and efficient experience, from check-in through follow-up. Patients praised short wait times, ease of scheduling, responsive communication through patient messaging, and the convenience of services such as on-site phlebotomy. Several reviewers shared that after unsatisfactory experiences elsewhere, they found a trusted medical home at SGMC Family Medicine Nashville-often bringing multiple family members across generations to the practice.
"Patient feedback consistently reflects the trust this team has built within the Nashville community," said Brenda Alexander, Vice President of Physician Network and Chief Human Resources Officer. "This recognition highlights what happens when clinical excellence, compassion, and operational efficiency come together in service of patients."
