Dewey Mcwhirter's Online Review Report Card

Terrible Service This office is either mismanaged or there is total incompetence. Schedule appointments months in advance and then the office cancels. So bad, it conflicted my insurance and I could not get needed and prescribed supplies. Finally just purchased supplies out of pocket. The waits in the office are the worse of any medical office I have visited. 1 hour waits or longer are common. I refuse to wait longer than an hour, my time is valuable too. I would not recommend this doctor or office to anyone.

Got tired of filling out the same exact forms the first three times I visited his office. Quit while I was ahead. Never did see Dewey.

Tranquility Sleep is an absolute parody of what is wrong with medicine these days. I visited their office to discuss the possibility of a sleep study and spent 20 minutes talking to a therapist, not an actual doctor. No treatment was performed. No tests conducted. No tangible services rendered. I did not even see a doctor. I received a bill for $745. 1/3 of it was for the doctor's office, which I understood, but over $400 of it was from the hospital for "outpatient services." In my 46 years, I have NEVER seen a $745 charge for a 20 minute conversation even with a specialist doctor! I have had complete rounds of testing for less than this 20 minute conversation cost. I will never do business with Tennova again. This is just one more reason the health system is broken when they think a sleep therapist is worth $2,200 per hour, not even counting costs for tests or therapies or any type of helpful guidance. I had an entire sleep study done for less than this office visit.

I have seen him multiple times and it seems to me he tries to see too many patients I have been kept waiting two hours, another time an hour, another time 45 minutes He tells me to try something and I tell him I've tried it before and it didn't help So to prove to him I try it again and it still doesn't help. I have found that neither he nor the girls know anything about my sleep history.

He is very concerned about my sleep issues and always looking to find the best way to help me.

I saw a different sleep doctor before and he was not able to help me with the issues I had using CPAP. Dr. McWhirter figured out I had something called complex sleep apnea and that was why the CPAP did not work. I got a special machine that did work and I had a lot more energy. He and his nurser practitioner, Melissa, got me to work on weight loss and eventually I lost 50 pounds. We did another sleep study and my sleep apnea was gone. I am really greatful for their help. I actually saw him in Knoxville. I had some confusion with a bill once, but it turned out that it was a bill from the hospital and not the doctor. His office got someone from the hospital to contact me and help me. Overall, it has been a great experience. I would recommend him to anybody.

This guy really helped me with my sleep apnea and insomnia. He is very knowledgeable. He helped me get off sleeping pills. My only complaint is that he can't be my primary doctor.

I had been on sleeping pills for years but I was still waking up a lot at night. He found I had sleep apnea and now I'm off the pills and sleeping much better with my CPAP. Very nice doctor who knows his stuff.

Dr. Whirter is my 2nd sleep Dr. He helped me fix problems that plagued,me for years. He listened to my complaints and help me get the relief I needed. I highly recommend him.
