I’m Dr. John F. Abercrombie, an emergency medicine physician based in Knoxville, Tennessee, with over two decades of experience in providing critical care for patients facing life-threatening conditions. My expertise lies in the rapid assessment and treatment of medical emergencies, including heart attacks, traumatic injuries, shock, and severe burns. I am affiliated with several hospitals, including Onslow Memorial Hospital and Erlanger Murphy Medical Center, where I work to deliver immediate and effective care in high-pressure situations. I earned my medical degree from East Tennessee State University/Quillen College of Medicine and pursued further training through an internal medicine residency and an emergency medicine internship at Vidant Medical Center/East Carolina University. My background in biomedical engineering from the University of Tennessee has further enhanced my ability to integrate advanced medical technologies into patient care. As a board-certified emergency physician, I hold active medical licenses in multiple states, including Tennessee, North Carolina, and Texas. To ensure accessible care for my patients, I accept various insurance plans, including Medicare and Blue Cross. My approach to emergency medicine is centered on swift, precise decision-making to provide the best possible outcomes for those in urgent need.
