Dr. Richard Wayne Brackett, MD

I have been seeing Dr. Brackett for several years for a serious disease. His rapid, accurate diagnosis and treatment played a huge role in saving my life. I have recommended him many times and will continue to do so.

Dr. Brackett is a great doctor and the nurses are great. However, the receptionists are rude and they tend to care more about talking than taking care of the patients

I really enjoy seeing Dr BRACKETT. It bothers me that I can't see him now because he isn't on our insurance. But I would definitely recommend him.

I can't say enough about Dr. Brackett & his PA Robert. They have helped my RA so much. I had to change Drs. A few yrs ago due to insurance change & was hesitant but so thrilled that I found them.

I love going to Dr. Brackett. He has been very helpful to me and my health issues.

This dr is very thorough, listens and is observant. Very trustworthy. Recommend him to anyone.

I found Dr. Brackett's staff to be rude and unprofessional. While Dr. Brackett's bedside manner seems sympathetic, he tried to prescribe a medication to which I am allergic - even with my records in front of him. Most recently, he removed me from a strong medication with no step down procedure. I had such severe side effects that I was forced to visit another doctor for help. I have since found that the FDA strongly advises a careful step down procedure for this medication. I will not ever return to Dr. Brackett and cannot recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Brackett is very caring and interested in his patients. I feel confident and happy not to "doctor shop".Thank you, Dr. Brackett, for your dedication, you are among the best.

I moved to the Chattanooga area several years ago from the Northeast. Dr. Brackett is on par with the best rhuematologist that I saw during the 9 years I lived there following my initial diagnosis. He has helped me to understand my condition more fully and allows me to participate in my own health care by listening to my concerns and fears. I would recommend Dr. Brackett to anyone in my family or friends.

very sympathetic, great bedside manners, listens to me, tries to get me on the best medication possible for my condition, short wait time to see the doctor.

I recently moved to TN and had to find a new Rheumatologist. Before seeing him, my meds and condition were stable. After the very first visit he made adjustments to my medicines (Without waiting for my old records to arrive!). Within 2 weeks I went into a flare. I asked to go back to my meds I came in with and he refused. He wanted me to try a new drug. It has been 3 weeks and NO improvement.I have absolutely NO faith in his ability to treat me or anyone else with a complicated history. I will continue seeing him until I find another doctor. Then I will fire him. I do NOT recommend him!
