Lloyd G. King

Excellent doctor!

I love Dr. King and I believe I am due again for my colonoscopy. He has given me all of the ones I have had. Claire is totally wonderful and she was my GP and my daughters before she started working for Dr. King. My whole family hated when she moved on. Both are great to work with.

I've seen Dr. King since 2008, and have had nothing but great experiences with him. He's very smart, an excellent diagnostician, and very caring. Be aware there are two Dr. Lloyd Kings at Vanderbilt. The other Dr. King is Dr. Lloyd King, Jr. and is also a GI specialist and a dermatologist. Dr. King, Jr. is also a professor of medicine at Vanderbilt. It's a bit confusing, and I cannot speak to Dr. King, Jr., but be careful not to confuse the two.

So I recently moved from Chicago to Franklin. Researched Dr. King a LOT and read about every review. Was a little concerned before going in for a colonoscopy as some of the reviews were "meh." Last thing you want is a "meh" Dr. with a camera in your rear. This is just my opinion, but I found him to be a very intelligent and experienced Dr. Told him my issues and concerns before the scope and he listened and discussed afterwards. Even cracked a butt joke, as you do. What I am realizing is he is a NY'er at heart, and sometimes NY and southern mannerisms clash by nature and that may be at the root cause of some of the complaints. I wouldn't hesitate to have him do it again, but not for a few years :) You need to know what you want answered, and don't beat around the bush, just ask. Dr.'s don't have a ton of time to be "patient", hand hold and make you feel good. Nature of the beast. Long story short, I had a pleasant experience. As pleasant as a colonoscopy could be. :) Thx Doc.

For at least 5 years I have been struggling with bowel control issues that no one could seem to solve. However, after I went to Dr King, I felt immediately that he "was on the case" and would not let up until we discovered the issue. As a nurse, I was so disappointed in many other other internists, and GI"s I had visited who would try one or two things, and then give up the search for a solution. Dr King has been an excellent diagnostician and I believe we are on a healing path now!

Had a piece of chicken lodged in my throat. Dr King came in an explained for 10 minutes what he was going to do and what some of the causes may have been. While I was knocked out, he reassured my wife everything went well and explained in detail what he did. I can highly recommend him and thank him for his professionalism regarding my situation. Couldn't ask for more from a Doctor
