    I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I have been without a provider for many years and wanted to make sure I found the right one. Needless to say, Dr. Sam is the one! Dr. Sam is professional, passionate, and knowledgeable which are must have qualities for a provider. He made it a priority to ease my nerves while making me feel like I had always been one of his patients. Best regards.

    Dr Sam takes the time to know his patients. He is through and supports prevention in his practice by scheduling annual visits and follow up when needed.

    Dr. Sam is truly amazing. He is caring, takes his time with patients during visits, and will do anything he can to get people well. He is always available through the online portal and usually answers questions/requests on the same day. My health has improved dramatically since I started seeing him about 3 years ago. If you are looking for a PCP it would be hard to do better than Dr. Sam.

    Dr. Sam is an a wonderful physician. He is always so friendly and outgoing toward his patients, while still showing genuine concern for their health and wellbeing. I appreciate how he incorporates wellness teaching into the office visits. I enjoy using Healow and how easy the app is to use, providing a means of direct communication between patient and physician. Dr. Sam and the staff are quick in responding to questions and concerns, and the convenience of viewing your own labs makes it so nice. The staff and nurses are also so welcoming and friendly, and you can tell they care for their patients! I highly recommend seeing Dr. Sam or any of the AFD staff for all of your healthcare needs!

    Dr. Sam is a caring and wonderful doctor! I was struggling with pretty bad allergies with congestion around my nose and hives that spread all over my arms. Anything that I took from over the counter just made me sleepy and didn’t help in improving my symptoms. My family members, who were also patients of Dr. Sam, recommended that I go see him. So I made an appointment and went to go see him. The staff were extremely helpful and assisted me with all the details. They answered all my questions with a lot of patience. One of the main reasons that I appreciate AFD clinics and Dr.Sam is their ability to make patients feel warm, welcoming and comfortable. When I explained all the health issues I was struggling with, Dr.Sam immediately suggested that I get a shot to help me feel better and then ordered for labs. He also got a environmental and food allergy panel done so I would know any allergies I am struggling with. I started feeling better few minutes after the shot. Dr. Sam is also very keen on patient education and wellness; he talked about the foods and plant based products that could help me. He also mentioned about certain dietary and lifestyle changes to help me cope up with the symptoms. I went to other doctors as well but no one would provide such information on wellness and good dietary habits that could help me with everyday life. His insight to patient education and their well being is key to establishing continuity of care. I feel much better than I was previously and really looking forward to my follow appointment. I appreciate all the care that was provided to me by Dr.Sam and his staff! It was a great experience.

    Dr. Sam is one of the rare PCPs that I respect and trust. I have seen him as my primary care physician for several years. He truly practices what he preaches including living an active lifestyle and incorporating regular fasting into his everyday life. His staff is always professional and courteous including the NPs and other doctors in the AFD clinic. Dr. Sam stays current in his practice and is receptive to new information. I recently stumbled across a couple of books, The Obesity Code and The Complete Guide to Fasting. Upon a recent visit, I brought the book in and introduced it to Dr. Sam. To my surprise, he went and purchased the book and read it and when we next spoke he fully endorsed the practice of fasting for better health. I was pleased by this because I have always been ashamed of my fasting due to the brow beating you receive when discussing fasting, even from health professionals that should know better. Now I can proudly practice fasting with my Dr’s endorsement. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Sam and the AFD clinics. If you are looking for a new PCP, Dr. Sam and the AFD clinics should definitely be on your short list.

    I have had the privilege of getting to know Dr. Sam through our business dealings. I have found him to be a man of high integrity, with an eagerness to help others. I own a local small business in Nashville and Dr. Sam has generously offered me his time and advice in a selfless attempt to help me grow professionally and personally. In my experience, the best doctors have the heart of a teacher and a genuine desire to help others. Dr. Sam fits the bill and I highly recommend him as a family practice doctor, business mentor & friend.
