General Practitioners

Medical Weight Loss
Nutritional Counseling
In hospice care, we believe that emotional and spiritual pain are just as real as physical pain. Hospice nurses and doctors use the most effective medications and devices to relieve pain and other symptoms. They are joined by specialists who are trained in physical therapy, music therapy, art therapy, massage therapy and nutritional counseling to help maintain patient comfort. Finally, various counselors, including clergy, help with emotional and spiritual support for patients and and bereavement support for family members and caregivers.
Primary Care
Our palliative care specialists come to your home – wherever you call home – to help manage symptoms, provide education, coordinate transitions of care in collaboration with your primary care provider, and establish your individualized goals of care. We’ll help you get the right care at the right time based on your treatment goals.
Emergency Care
Living with a serious or life-threatening illness can feel like a blur of hospitalizations and emergency room visits. Palliative care at home reduces this strain by bringing many treatments to you.

Multiple Sclerosis
I have multiple sclerosis, which was diagnosed in 1997. I have consistently been in physical therapy since 2003, when I first began to lose my ability to walk. One therapist told me, “You know you will never walk again.” This was not the attitude exhibited by Eric Estes of Amedisys Home Health Care of Tuscaloosa. After his first visit he said to me, “I don’t know how much I can help you, but I will do my best to get you where you can go.” Eric has been true to that promise.
