In addition to the many board certifications and other qualifications our physicians and staff members hold, the practice has been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance for its Diabetes Care, Heart/Stroke Care and as part of the Patient Centered Medical Home Level 3 program.

IMA physicians have been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance for Diabetes Care, Heart/Stroke Care and the highest level of Patient Centered Medical Home, Level 3.
Primary Care
The physicians and staff of IMA want your visits to our office to be convenient, efficient, friendly and professional. We want to build lifelong relationships with our patients to meet all their primary care needs.
Sleep Disorders
Because of its size, Summit is able to operate a fully-accredited, 10-bed sleep center where diagnostic sleep studies and consultations are performed. The testing environment is “home like” with individual bedrooms to make patients more comfortable. If you suspect you or a family member may have a sleep disorder, talk to your physician, who may refer you to the sleep center for testing.
Emergency Care
Summit operates three urgent care/after hours clinics to treat patients when our offices are closed at night, on weekends and holidays. IMA strives to ensure quick access for patients to their physician or one of our nurse practitioners and always has a physician on call for our patients. However, there are times when acute minor injuries or illnesses need immediate attention. For these times, the Summit Express Clinics offer care in the evenings, on Saturdays and Sundays and holidays.
Colonoscopy
There are different ways to screen for colon cancer. The most common is a colonoscopy. Follow up is typically every 10 years, though those who have more risk factors or history of polyps may be recommended to repeat a colonoscopy sooner. You can also do stool cards annually to test for blood in your stools. Cologuard is another option that is utilized every 3 years. Occasionally, a CT colonography test can be performed, and this is performed every 5 years. It is best to discuss which option is best for you with your primary care provider.
Infectious Diseases
August is national immunization awareness month. The CDC recognizes national immunization awareness month specifically in August to highlight the importance of routine vaccinations for all people. Healthy people 2030 focuses on preventing infectious diseases by increasing vaccination rates. There are various vaccines depending on the age group for instance infants and children’s usually get the hepatitis A, measles, pertussis and polio vaccination and in adolescence usually get the HPV vaccination. as we get older these vaccines schedule change.
Flu Shots
Flu Shots are now available as well as Covid boosters for eligible patients. Please call 865-546-9751, Option 3, to schedule, or ask us at your next appointment.
Electrocardiogram
Many testing procedures are done in our offices, such as X-rays, EKGs, holter monitors, spirometry. In addition, all specimens needed for lab tests are collected in house. As a part of Summit Medical Group, IMA patients have access to several ancillary service centers that provide more complex diagnostic services such as MRI and CT scans, nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, bone density studies and ambulatory cardiology. The three centers (Fountain City, Bearden and Cedar Bluff) are accredited by local and national agencies and staffed by highly trained specialists. Because they are affiliated with Summit, the results of diagnostic testing are made quickly available to your IMA physician by adding them to your secure Electronic Medical Record.
Pneumonia
Immunizations
At age 50, shingles vaccination is recommended specifically with Shingrix. There are a handful people who have already gotten his shingles vaccination such as the zoster live vaccine. Unfortunately, this vaccine had only shown a 10 to 20% effective rate at preventing shingles hence this promoted the advent of the Shingrix vaccination. This is a 2-dose vaccine 2 to 6 months apart which has approximately 80 to 90% effective rate at preventing shingles according to 10-year data.

Radiation Therapy
Risk factors for colon cancer include: genetics (having a close family member that has been diagnosed with colon cancer), personal history of colon polyps, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, history of abdominal radiation therapy, diabetes, alcohol use, tobacco use, excess consumption of processed meats, and obesity. The best way to prevent and manage colon cancer is to stay up to date on your colon cancer screening. Previously, it was recommended to begin colon cancer screening at age 50. However, given an increased risk in patients between 40 and 50 years old, current guidelines recommend screening at age 45. If you have additional risk factors, such as history of polyps, family history of colon cancer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, etc., you may need to be screened for colon cancer sooner. Staying up to date on colon cancer screening reduces mortality rates and allows for better treatment options and improved prognosis, as it is caught earlier in the disease process.
