Aaron Puryear, PA

Aaron Puryear is a board-certified physician assistant at Tailored Health and Wellness in Mt. Juliet. He studied kinesiology at Lipscomb University before earning his PA credential at Trevecca University, and his career since has spanned primary care, men's health, orthopedics, and the emergency department, where he still works each week.

That range of settings shaped what he wanted his own practice to look like. Frustrated by the limits insurance placed on care, he set out to build something simpler, a place where caring for people comes first and the hassle of insurance stays out of the way.

At home, Puryear and his wife, Peyton, are raising two children together. He's active in his church, enjoys a good round of cards or board games, and counts himself a devoted sports fan who likes nothing more than catching up with the neighbors.
