Led by Dr. James Chiu, this local independent clinic operates on a simple but powerful idea: every patient is a person, not a file number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Chiu brings over 20 years of medical experience to Franklin County. After training at Vanderbilt, he chose to build a solo practice where he could truly get to know the people walking through his door. Since 2010, his goal has been to listen first, treat thoroughly, and offer the kind of personal care that has become rare in big corporate medical networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"823\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/07\/1783604636062-f01d7964-b47e-4f91-8153-189881c95e5e_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25546\" style=\"width:402px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/07\/1783604636062-f01d7964-b47e-4f91-8153-189881c95e5e_1.jpg 823w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/07\/1783604636062-f01d7964-b47e-4f91-8153-189881c95e5e_1-480x597.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 823px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a full-spectrum family practice, the clinic cares for everyone from newborns to seniors. Dr. Chiu handles everything from regular wellness physicals and chronic conditions like diabetes to same-day urgent care needs. The clinic also provides specialized care like addiction medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make visits easier for patients, the office features its own in-house laboratory with next-day results, ultrasound imaging, and minor procedures like skin biopsies and joint injections. This keeps extra trips to outside facilities to a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a small, dedicated staff, the clinic skips the usual red tape. Patients get clear answers and direct communication from a team that actually remembers their names. It is a traditional approach to medicine, powered by modern skills, right in the heart of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contact Winchester Primary Care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(931) 361-0100<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/winchesterprimarycare.com\/\"><strong>www.winchesterprimarycare.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This story is sponsored content.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a world where medicine often feels like an assembly line, Winchester Primary Care is doing things differently.
