Meet the Team
Internal Medicine
Fred Nordquist, MD
Hello, my name is Fred Nordquist, and I've lived in Cheatham County, Tennessee since I was 10 years old. I joined the U.S. Army immediately after graduating from high school, where I served as a linguist and intelligence specialist for 5 years.
I decided I wanted to be a physician at the age of 23 and began my undergraduate education at Tennessee State University and graduated with a bachelor of science degree with a focus in pre-medicine/biology in 2001. In 2002, I graduated from Meharry Medical College with highest honors and began my residency at St Thomas Midtown. I served as Chief resident and completed my residency in 2005. I began private practice in Pleasant View in July, 2005.
It has been the joy of my life to serve my neighbors as family, as I believe this service is the mission work God prepared me for. I have a passion for preventing disease, complex diagnostic challenges, and helping patients get off of medications through healthy lifestyle modifications.
When I'm not seeing patients, I enjoy all things outdoor: fishing, hunting, gardening, hiking and camping. I have an amazing wife, Angela, and 4 children.​
If you are interested in a personalized approach to healthcare, a partnership in your health goals, and you are motivated to improve your life, I'd love to be called your doctor!

I started at the Village Primary Care in November of 2024, and have thoroughly enjoyed joining this self-less team. If you desire a friendly, supportive, and thorough approach to being healthy, I would love to be a part of your healthcare journey.

Family Practice Provider
Thomas Atkins, MD
Hi, my name is Thomas Atkins. I am a Cheatham County and Pleasant View native. I am a graduate of Pleasant View Christian School, received my undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University, and my medical degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee where I fell in love with Family Medicine, a specialty that not only allows me to see patients of all ages, but also gives me the opportunity to provide a wide variety of services and procedures.
My Residency training was very unique. Given my passion for rural medicine, I was chosen to help create and mold a new rural track Residency at UTHSC Family Medicine in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. While developing this track, I spent much of my training in small, medically underserved towns and cities getting exposure to the challenges of rural medicine.
Throughout my training, I was able to see how rural physicians can make a huge impact in their community and it has always been my dream to return to my hometown and care for my neighbors.
This dream became reality when I began practice at the Village Primary Care in July, 2025..
When not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife, two beautiful daughters, and family. I love all things outdoors whether it is fishing, caring for our growing livestock, or gardening.
I can think of no greater joy than having the opportunity to practice medicine in my hometown. If you are looking for a true down-to-earth family doctor who is passionate about preventing disease, patient-centered medicine, and helping you work toward a healthier version of yourself, it would be an honor to be your doctor.
