The Way Primary Care Should Be

Access ♦ Time ♦ Connection

Our healthcare system is broken

You should be frustrated. Urgent care treats you when you are sick, not your doctor. When you do get to see your doctor, your visit takes an average of 8 minutes. You are paying more and have less access to your doctor than ever before. You are spending more time waiting and have lost agency over your health in the process.

Save time and take back control of your health with a provider you have access to when you need them, and that can give you the time your health deserves.  By removing the middleman (insurance) we are restoring the doctor-patient connection, and our patients have improved overall health and save time and money in the process.

Great Healthcare  ≠  Insurance

We are all suffering in the thriving insurance kingdom

See What Our Patients are Saying
Responsive and attentive healthcare professionals with an affordable monthly plan, in an office space that truly feels welcoming and warm! “Sounds too good to be tru-“ – Nope! Sometimes the grass is truly greener and what a fabulous breath of fresh air it is to have access to Mbody Healthcare! Melissa and Meikel are both very approachable and go above-and-beyond in making sure they provide you with the most compassionate and economical care. As Tom Haverford from Parks and Recreation would say “Treat yo self”, set up a consultation!

– Rachel R.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DOCTORS OFFICE!!!! I have never been treated better by any Dr. I have seen before!!! This office is new and would be great for someone who may not have insurance or would feel better knowing that you Dr. is actually invested in you and spends as much time with you that is needed and you can even have the comfort of knowing you can reach out and get ahold of them 24/7!!! I really believe in them because they aren’t just rushing to get to the next patient and they give you indepth answers for the questions you may have and I feel that they are taking this walk of my life and me being the best I can be with me in so many ways!!!! I’m always brutally honest and always make sure someone wants my opinion before I give it because I don’t sugar coat well, so if I didn’t feel like finding this office has not changed my life in a good way then I would have left auch different review! Of your looking for a new Dr. or just want to see what is so different about their practice, then give them a call because they may be able to help you turn your life around too!!! THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!

– Andrea B.

New to West Knoxville/Farrugut area and I was recommended by a friend to Mbody Healthcare, and I can see why it was recommended. Great place, friendly staff, and wonderful service. Really great options for people like me without insurance. Melissa has the ability to come off very approachable and down to earth, while also making you find comfort in her skills due to her vast knowledge and experience. Highly recommend her.

I met Mike and Melissa by happenstance and learned about their new practice and this insurance free model to primary care. I approached it very skeptically as it sounded too good to be true, but with the option cancel after a month I figured it was a low risk potential high reward scenario. I am happy that I gave them a chance , because I was dead wrong to question their intentions. They are good people who are trying to do good for the community in any way they can. And are very transparent from the beginning about pricing and available services. To a point they even helped me find the best pharmacies in the area with different prices so I could get the best price on my prescriptions, I can say I was naive here and didn’t realize how different the prices change store to store. So far I’ve utilized their rapid appoint scheduling, telehealth, and going in for labs this week. Continually in a state of disbelief because of prior experience with primary care practices were nothing like this. Pros: quality care, non-judgemental, transparent monthly billing, Telehealth, and years of experience. Cons: …

Just had my first visit and wow, I was impressed. I’m a fairly healthy person but have a few things that need to be addressed. Melissa and I just sat in her office and discussed all of my concerns. She listened and was very easy going, I felt completely at ease. We came up with a plan all in just one visit. Others Doctors should take note, this is the way healthcare should be. Also, I don’t have insurance, $99 well spent. Thanks MBody, I’m glad I found you.

– Christiana

What a beneficial clinic! I have experienced great healthcare from Melissa. She is knowledgeable and caring. MBODY lives up to its ideal and mission statement. I felt heard. I wasn’t rushed in and out like an on an assembly line. There is a cordial atmosphere that is very welcoming. Erin is so polite and organized. Dr Major had an excellent manner when discussing chronic conditions. Melissa is so approachable and easy talk to regarding health goals. I have highly recommended MBODY to friends for modern healthcare with a family touch. It’s economical, too.

– Pamela

It is so wonderful to have direct access to healthcare providers at any time, day or night. Mike and Melissa respond almost immediately, are very thorough and genuinely care. I highly recommend MBody Healthcare for primary care and concierge medicine!

Great people, great service

Absolutely Love MBody! Recommend them to anyone. I was treated like a person and not a patient number. Very commutative, fast responses, and very effective medical care. Not enough room to express everything great!

– Serena

I have been a patient of Mbody for months now, and I can confidently say they have the patient’s interest at heart and in mind. At first I was skeptical of their new no insurance system, but it has made me realize what healthcare should be. The care for patients is unmatched to the normal healthcare field. Instead of packed, rushed 15 minute appointment times, these physicians schedule 30 minute – 1 hour long appointments to ensure they are thorough. I have received nothing but honesty and flexibility each time I have been in office. Meikel and Melissa are not just changing the game, they are rewriting the rules and norms.

– Rachel M.

I can’t overstate the value of having open access to healthcare providers anytime day or night. The fact that Melissa and Mike deeply care about the well-being of their patients is an added bonus. They go above and beyond to provide excellent care!

– Nicole W.

Both Dr Major and Melissa are accessible to their patients and are accommodating to patient schedules. They’re more interested in finding root causes of illness than offering bandaids for symptoms. Their office is warm and inviting. I could not be more pleased with my experience with them.

– Frannie R.

For the first time in 11 years I feel like I have a caregiver who really cares. Mbody has let me take control of my health again. They take the time to get to know me and my medical issues and remember me whenever I call or go into the office. Appointments are never rushed and we work together to get me to a good outcome. Mbody is one of the very best health decisions I have ever made.

– Dean E.

Aside from them being the nicest people ever, it’s so nice to have doctors that care and listen. Best decision ever!

– Brandi W.

We have had the most amazing experience with MBody. Mike and Melissa take their time and actually listen to your concerns. We have never felt rushed and they really have an environment where you feel comfortable asking even the smallest or dumbest questions. We are truly thankful for their knowledge and patience!

– Lindsey S.

Mbody has such a wonderful team of physicians/staff. The patient’s needs and well being is top priority. They go above and beyond taking care of the mental health of their patients. They care about the physical, mental and financial impact of health care on their patients. Don’t hesitate, just go to Mbody!

– Erin D.

I can’t recommend MBody Healthcare enough. It’s like a whole new world of healthcare. The care goes above and beyond. The communication is amazing. They truly listen and take the time to address all your health issues, without ever making you feel rushed. And I’m able to contact them directly for any questions or issues that arise between appointments. My whole family came down with a bad virus in December and after seeing us right away in office, Melissa contacted me every morning to check in on us until we were well. I was floored! That level of care is unheard of in today’s healthcare environment!
