Teri Watson, FNP

"Born and raised in Nashville, my husband and I moved to Franklin, Tennessee almost 30 years ago. For years, I excelled (most days) at being a stay at home mom to five children while using my degree in business to help my husband in several successful entrepreneur adventures. I began my nursing career in pediatric acute care, which eventually led me to the challenging and most rewarding neonatal intensive care unit. I come to AFD as a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, with a focus in primary care, integrated health and wellness, weight control, pediatric care, and Attention Deficit Disorder.

I enjoy traveling, reading, sports (especially college football), volunteering with The Nashville Food Project, and spending time with my family. A few of my favorite things are pizza, wine, and Thor, the hammer wielding Norse god!

I am excited to be a part of the AFD family as we grow and help others achieve a happier, healthier self."

"Our history begins in the summer of 2002, when Dr. S. Steve Samudrala MD, affectionately referred to as “Dr. Sam”, founded America’s Family Doctors. At the time, we operated out of our single Brentwood location. Fast forward almost a decade and our family practice continues to grow, blossoming into 3 locations in Middle Tennessee.

How have we grown so quickly? We attribute our success to staying true to our guiding principles:

• Only the best providers- Our reputation depends on hiring talented individuals who love their work.
• High quality of care- Recruiting only excellent providers means offering better care, and we make sure that our patients are as comfortable as possible when they are with us.
• Wide range of services- Getting everything taken care of in one place simply makes life easier.
• Doctor driven- We were founded by a doctor, so we focus on what’s best for patients over the economics of the situation.
• Welcome all patients- Your form of payment should not dictate the level of care you receive.

With these concepts in mind, we push ourselves every day to realize our vision: To be America’s most efficient medical practice. We aim to be the premier example of a truly patient centered medical home.
