In addition to his vast clinical experience, he also had a rare opportunity to complete a fellowship in functional medicine with one of the world’s leading Functional Medicine Physicians. This is where he started to realize how broken our healthcare system was. In this realm of medicine, he realized that you can actually heal someone without throwing a pill at every little symptom. He learned how to fix the underlying cause of different disease processes that actually benefit the patients and not the pharmaceutical companies. He used his experience in functional medicine as a guide to setting up the structure of Platinum Wellness Center where they are “opening the door to the future of healthcare.”
Jamey is Board Certified in Family Practice by AANP and is licensed by the state of Tennessee to provide primary healthcare to people of all ages. He began his career in health care by working in the emergency department of a small community hospital in his hometown of Lawrenceburg, TN when he was only 17 years old.
During this time he was completing his Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree at University of North Alabama, in which he graduated in 2002. Since that time, he has logged nearly 20 years of experience in various areas of patient care (Emergency Department, Surgical Services, Vanderbilt Neurosurgical Team, Critical Care Services, PICC Line Services, and Management). He then went on to receive a Masters in Science from Tennessee State University where he then became board certified in family practice.

In this realm of medicine, he realized that you can actually heal someone without throwing a pill at every little symptom. He learned how to fix the underlying cause of different disease processes that actually benefit the patients and not the pharmaceutical companies. Jamey worked for a corporate entity providing primary care in a traditional healthcare setting (normal doctors office that accepts insurance) for a couple years before realizing that there was a better way to provide primary care. Jamey took a leap of faith and built Platinum Wellness Center from the ground up himself and it became Giles County's first Direct Primary Care Office.
