For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to care for those in need. My childhood experience in helping care for a terminally ill grandparent inspired me to make an impact in healthcare. This early motivation propelled me through the many steps of training, including graduating from Mercer University School of Medicine as a top national scholar and completing residency at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC, with top surgical honors. I received my OB/GYN certification in 2009. Over this time, I have continually devoted myself to providing knowledgeable, compassionate and cutting-edge care. As a husband, father and member of the local Christian community, I understand how the different facets of life affect our health. My ambition is to recognize not only the physical but also the emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of women from all walks of life. In obstetrics, my interests include fertility evaluation, prenatal counseling and low- and high-risk pregnancies. As for gynecology, my expertise includes minimally invasive surgeries such as robotics, single incision laparoscopy, as well as vaginal prolapse repair.

A native of Elizabethton, I graduated from Elizabethton High School in 1984 and completed my undergraduate studies at Southern Missionary College in 1988. After receiving my medical education from East Tennessee State University James H. Quillen College of Medicine and graduating in 1992, I completed my OB/GYN specialty training at the University of Tennessee while serving at Baroness Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, TN. I was encouraged by strong family ties to the Tri-Cities area where my father, mother, brother and sister practiced in various fields of medicine. Because I value my close relationships with God and family, I returned home to start my own practice in 1996. Since that time, I have been blessed with three wonderful children. There have been many challenges, rewards and miracles as a parent that have made me stronger and – in some ways – made me the physician I am today. As each child I deliver is born, I pause to reflect on what lives the little one will impact. I provide care from adolescence to geriatrics, as well as those needing specialized care. I enjoy providing reproductive healthcare services and never take for granted my role in bringing new lives into the world. I specialize in performing minimally invasive surgical procedures. I have pursued this specialty by promoting the role of advanced laparoscopic techniques and expanded my traditional laparoscopic skills to include the provision of da Vinci® robotic surgery and single-port techniques, as well as pelvic support procedures. I also offer in office procedures to include essure sterilization and hydrothermal ablation. Dr. May is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Neuralgia.

I grew up in Kentucky and am still a huge fan of the University of Louisville sports. I came to this area to be closer to family, and I like the outdoor activities of this region. I also enjoy tennis, music, reading and photography. I am involved in several organizations, such as Little League Baseball and LASO Swim Team. I wanted to specialize in neurology because I enjoy learning about the brain. In fact, I never get tired of learning about the nervous system. As a physician, I most enjoy my interaction with patients and actually getting to know them and being a part of making their lives better. My personal philosophy for treating patients is to always listen and to treat others the way I would want to be treated. Patients know themselves better than anybody, and the best way I can help them is to be present by listening. Dr. Niebauer is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Neuralgia. Her top areas of expertise are Memory Loss, Seizures, Stroke, and Epilepsy.

I was born in northern Virginia and spent my childhood growing up in close proximity to Washington, D.C. I then attended Virginia Tech, where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology but – more importantly – I met my beautiful wife, Karen, to whom I have been married since 2002. Prior to attending medical school, I worked in a number of different health-related fields, including rehabilitation and business administration for a transplant center. Shortly after marriage, my wife and I left Virginia for the sunny state of Florida, where I attended medical school at Nova Southeastern University. While there, I received my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and developed a distinct interest in women’s healthcare. My first delivery as a medical student was my oldest daughter. I completed my residency training at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC – a residency training program that heavily emphasized outstanding patient care and advanced surgical training. My family continued to grow during my residency as my second daughter was born. I feel it is a privilege to care for women and their families throughout their life. I believe that OB/GYN provides special opportunities to closely care for young people as they build a family, advance through adulthood and make the transition into menopause. It is what defines the field as truly unique and a great specialty. I am providing care in both obstetrics and gynecology with a special interest in complex minimally invasive gynecological surgery and general obstetric care. My interests away from work include spending time with my family, attending church and enjoying all of the outdoor activities that East Tennessee offers. My family and I are thrilled to be here servicing the needs of Johnson City and the surrounding communities. Dr. Hallman is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Neuralgia.

I was born and raised in Louisiana in a city just outside of New Orleans. Displaced by Hurricane Katrina, I moved to Monroe, Louisiana where I graduated with a degree in biology from the University of Louisiana. I then attended medical school at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic medicine where I met my husband, Christian Sullivan. We then moved north to Michigan where I completed my OBGYN residency in Detroit. After completing residency we decided to return to his roots and relocated to the Tri-Cities area to raise our family and begin our careers. While practicing at Ballad OBGYN in Kingsport I met my nurse, Lisa Gibson, who will be joining me at State of Franklin OB/GYN. At work, she truly is my “better half” and a blessing to me and my practice. Lisa and I love our patients and are excited to be continuing to care for women in the Tri-Cities area. I am truly passionate about women’s healthcare. I am driven by the bonds I build with my patients over the course of their lives and the enjoyment I hold in keeping them healthy and well. My husband is a gastroenterologist in Bristol. We have two spunky boys, Christian and Jenson, who keep us busy. We love traveling, spending time outdoors and challenging each other at CrossFit. When not on dry land we can likely be found on a Disney cruise ship spending time in the middle of the ocean.
