Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Dr. David H. McCord has been in practice as an Orthopaedic Spine Specialist since 1991 in Nashville, Tennessee. He is a native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky where he recently opened a satellite office. His father, Dr. Gerald McCord, was a family practitioner in Hopkinsville for many years, and it was his dream to have his son practice there. Since a spine specialty requires a broad base of patients, Dr. David McCord chose to establish his primary practice down the road in Nashville. Even though Dr. Gerald McCord passed away several years ago, Dr. David McCord honored his father's dream and opened a second office in the community that he and his family cherished during his childhood.

What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
The best compliment a physician and surgeon can receive is a happy patient who refers others to the practice, whether they are family members, friends, or just casual acquaintances. That means a good job was done treating and serving the individuals who trusted Dr. McCord with their medical needs. Dr. McCord's practice was established early on by happy patients telling others about him, and this is the reason many patients travel past other major cities and clinics to come to Nashville for their care.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
"Treat others as you would like to be treated" comes to mind, because Dr. McCord tries to imagine himself in each patient's situation as he listens to their needs and concerns. He sees each patient as a unique individual instead of just another case.
