Chattanooga, TN - Parkridge Health System welcomes primary care physician Matthew J. Todd, M.D., to Parkridge Medical Group's Diagnostic Center and back to Chattanooga. Dr. Todd joins an ever-expanding team of physicians and providers and adds additional capacity and access for patients seeking a primary health care provider.
