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. I 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, completing my residency in 2005. I then 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 diseases, complex diagnostic challenges, and helping patients get off 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!

           Hi, my name is Thomas Atkins. I am a Cheatham County, and Pleasant View native. I attended high school at Pleasant View Christian School, and subsequently received my undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University. I then earned my Medical Doctorate at  the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee where I fell in love with Family Medicine. Family Medicine is 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 home town, and care for my neighbors. 

           This dream became a reality when I began practicing 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 home town. If you are looking for a true down-to-earth family doctor who is passionate about preventing diseases, patient-centered medicine, and helping you work towards a healthier version of yourself, it would be an honor to be your doctor. 

            Hello! My name is Joy Bumpus, and I was born and raised in Clarksville, Tennessee. I have lived in Cheatham County for the past 26 years, where I have also worked as a registered nurse.  I graduated with my BSN from APSU in 1998, and then obtained my Master’s degree in Family Practice from Vanderbilt University in 2004. Following 10 years of practice as a Nurse Practitioner, I attended Murray State University online and received my Doctorate of Nursing Practice in 2024.

            My experience in medicine encompasses many areas.  I have had the pleasure of working with cardiology, heart transplant, dermatology, Family Practice, and Internal Medicine patients. I have also served as a Clinical Instructor for APSU.  

            When I’m not at work, I enjoy exercising, boating and surfing on our wake boat, and spending quality time with my husband and our son.  

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