Meet Dr. F. Kent Nunnally: A Lifetime of Compassionate Care
Dr. F. Kent Nunnally’s journey into medicine began with a personal health scare—one that shaped his deep commitment to patient-centered care.
In the sixth grade, Dr. Nunnally developed a large lymph node in his neck, sparking fear that it could be Hodgkin’s lymphoma—a devastating diagnosis at the time. His parents, barely in their mid-20s, faced an unimaginable decision: rush their son from their small Arkansas hometown to Little Rock, unsure if he would survive the trip.
But what stood out to Dr. Nunnally wasn’t just the fear—it was the unwavering care he received.
“Dr. Stewart, the general surgeon who took care of me, made a huge impression on my family,” he recalls. “I’ll never forget his kindness, his support, and his faith-driven service in our time of crisis. At that moment, I knew I wanted to become a doctor—to serve others the way he served us.”

Decades of Expertise, Rooted in Compassion
Dr. Nunnally pursued his dream with unwavering dedication:
- Undergraduate Degree: Hendrix College, Biology Major (1983)
- Medical Degree: University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (1987)
- Specialty Training: Otolaryngology at the University of Florida and the University of Tennessee (1992)
- Board Certification: Otolaryngology (1992)
For nearly 25 years, Dr. Nunnally has been a trusted name in the Wiregrass area, providing expert care with a heart for service. He holds staff privileges at Southeast Alabama Medical Center, Flowers Hospital, and Dothan Surgery Center.
