Dr Summit is the best of the best and the most knowledgeable of his specialty. Thats why I don't mind driving to Nashville from Memphis for my appointments with Dr Summit. Dr Summit is cordial and very professional and spends as much time needed to answer all my questions. I sincerely trust Dr Summit and his care. As always, each appointment goes smoothly as a warm knife moving through butter.
