At Cool Springs and North Franklin Internal Medicine & Pediatrics we take pride in providing excellent acute care for our existing patients and patients who are new to our office. Our Nurse practitioners are highly educated and experienced in providing excellent acute care. Our nurse practitioners do not work on protocols, they use their knowledge and experience to diagnose and treat patients individually. Our nurse practitioners are all supervised by physicians who are board certified in both internal medicine and pediatrics.
The state of Tennessee requires that licensed physicians sign off on 20 percent of all nurse practitioner encounters. Cool Springs and North Franklin Internal Medicine & Pediatrics goes the extra step and has the physician sign off on 100 percent of the nurse practitioner encounters.
