Booked app’t to have wound unpacked, cleaned & repacked. Wait time was only minutes. Staff was most considerate and professional. I was in and out in a short time & my need was cared for. We are very fortunate to have such competent , caring professionals for times an office visit with PCP is not possible. I would recommend this particular site to anyone in need of care

I was actually touched by the doctor to find out what was up with my ankle and shoulder. Very professional and a professional and caring bedside manner. He also knew Dr. Willingham, my pediatrician. I'm positive I'm going to start going there for my primary care needs in the future. Spoke to a sweet lady who answered my questions very nicely!! Thanks, Maryville ParkMed!! You're #1.

Short Wait Time

I can't imagine a better doctor or office in the Knoxville TN area than Dr's Clay and Stacy Stalcup. They have been taking care of me for years, well over 10 years and I am very grateful for their kindness and compassion. My family goes to their office for all their care as well. Dr Clay is very patient and asks the right questions and helps us when we have problems. I see that there is only one review on this site and it's a 1 star, so I can't imagine why someone would do that to this group of doctors. They are the best! I highly recommend them. There has never been a time in which I would have had any reason to complain about their care. Thank you.

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
