Bristol, TN 

Overview

Dr. Nathan Gargus, MD, is originally from a small town in Pennsylvania but moved frequently due to his time serving in the Army and his medical training. Dr. Gargus chose to settle in the Appalachian Highlands because he was drawn to the mountains and charming community. Dr. Gargus is passionate about identifying, diagnosing and treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD). If left untreated, patients with PAD can suffer a heart attack, stroke, severe leg pain, wounds and, in some cases, amputations. By identifying and treating PAD early on, amputation can often be avoided. In his practice, Dr. Gargus believes “listening to a patient’s story in its entirety is paramount to providing the best recommendations for their care. Each patient is an individual, cared for deeply by their friends and family, and I want them to know that I will do everything in my power to keep them in good health.”.
