TOA Testimonials
I have struggled with digestive issues over the span of my 66 years. I have inquired during GI doctor visits in the past, if I could meet with a dietician or nutritionist to help me with information to make better choices to help resolve my reflux/gall bladder issues, to no avail. These services were never available to me or offered to me as an aid or resolution to my condition. I was thrilled to see that TOA offered this during a recent visit for an orthopedic issue. I immediately responded to the survey as an interested person. Thank you TOA, Nutrition by Emma and Rachel Mullen for providing this valuable service. I believe, from years of gut issues, that this service is extremely needed in our culture and will help persons find a better quality of health and life! I am inspired and excited to have the information and support presented to me by Rachel Mullen, who is an excellent, knowledgeable, passionate advocate for health and nutrition. I feel blessed to now, after all these years, have this support for better health and quality of life! Thank you!

I can not tell you how wonderful Rachel was with my daughter. This is our first time having a nutritionist and I would definitely do it again. Our daughter tore her first ACL 3 years ago and now her 2nd, 2 months ago, so we have 2 surgery recoveries to compare. We spoke with her by video call, which was super easy to set up. She was super kind and very informative before surgery and after surgery. My daughter did all the things Rachel told her to do and she is doing AMAZING! I think recovery is much better this time around. I highly recommend you try her as your nutritionist!

As a professional ballet dancer, I grew up surrounded by countless myths and stories about what we should and shouldn’t eat. After undergoing a full Achilles tendon repair in the summer of 2024, I realized just how crucial bone, tendon, muscle, and joint health truly are for dancers. Our profession is incredibly physically demanding, yet many of us have been taught from a young age to deprive our bodies in pursuit of a certain “ballerina aesthetic.”
Rachel has been nothing short of a guiding light throughout my recovery and beyond. She has helped clear up so many of my questions about sports nutrition and how dancers need to properly fuel our bodies as the athletes we truly are. Since working with her, I’ve felt stronger and healthier than ever. Experiencing less soreness, less inflammation, and a noticeable improvement in both stamina and endurance.
It’s amazing what a clear mind and the right guidance can do. With Rachel’s support, I’ve felt truly unstoppable. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert guidance in both their sport and overall well-being.

I am a Track/XC runner and when I first started running, I lost a lot of weight very quickly. I was in great condition at first. But as the seasons went on (I was playing soccer and running XC, simultaneously for context), my performance continually dropped, and I experienced many worrying conditions following and during races, such as dizziness, brain fog, difficulty breathing, loss of color, etc. After nearly passing out during a race and being unable to get off the ground for 20-30 minutes, we were struggling to find a solution to this mystery problem. We decided to reach out to Rachel Mullen for help. She assisted us tremendously by providing example fueling plans based on my personal needs and gave us guidance on the types of bloodwork to get done in order to determine the underlying problem, an iron deficiency. Since then, using the supplementation and meal plan constructed from my iron issues, I've been able to gradually build speed and endurance again without feeling on the verge of collapse and have noticed the improvement of many symptoms that previously ailed me. I am so thankful to Rachel and the TOA program for their services. This experience and their aid has helped me realize how important proper nutrition is in sport.
So Thankful to Rachel and TOA

Emma reached out to me shorty after I filled out a patient survey after my final appointment with my excellent TOA surgeon. At the end of that survey it asked if I would be interested in a Nutritionist/ Dietitian TOA was providing. I jumped at the chance! I was diagnosed last year as diabetic. I had so many questions. The internet just overwhelmed me with so much information! Then I got the survey. Emma helped me set up my appointment. She was so helpful!! Then I met Rachel, my wonderful dietitian. Rachel is so easy to talk to. She really cares about your health. Rachel is awesome in the fact that she listens, answers all your questions and takes the time to explain things in detail. I love how even after our session ends, she emails me with her professional suggestions. I can email her anytime with my dietary concerns and she responds quickly. I know I am on the right track to a healthier me. I feel so blessed to find someone like Rachel. I highly recommend Nutrition by Emma, a service offered by TOA.

I am 6 weeks out from surgery (SD Feb 10,2026) and I feel great! Before surgery I couldn't walk or drive without pain. In the last 6 weeks I have been shocked at the things I can do pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Carpenter as well as his NP Christina and his nurse Stephanie.

Recent visit for right wrist pain. Dr. Brown came in and from initial introduction to final diagnosis and plan was professional, empathetic and friendly. I immediately sent my wife a text saying one of the best Dr. visits I have ever had. Extremely knowledgeable, ensures patient understands diagnosis and doesn't talk down to patient like a lot of doctors tend to do. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Dr. Routh. After my 12 year TKR failed, I was in a challenging situation. Dr Routh performed a complex revision surgery, removing/replacing catastrophic failed parts with an excellent outcome. At 8 days post-op I had already achieved 114 Degree flexion. ***But what truly distinguishes Dr Routh is his willingness to listen to my individual needs. Dealing with pain management was a huge concern since my body processes certain medications differently, due to my genetic profile (CYP2D6) After years of feeling unheard and without pain relief after surgeries, Dr Routh worked with me to find a suitable pain management plan. This made a tremendous difference in my recovery experience! If you are looking for a surgeon who is not only technically skilled but also genuinely compassionate and attentive to individual patient needs, Dr. Routh is an excellent choice.

Dr. Carpenter performed a total hip replacement for me and I recovered ahead of schedule and fully mobile. I followed his advice to the letter and his excellent team supported me pre op, post op, and recovery. Dr. Carpenter gave me back my life and I am now pain free and fully active again. I am extremely grateful for his care and the care of his team. I wish I hadn't waited so long!.

I'm new to the city of Smyrna and had to find a new orthopedic doctor for a broken ankle. I'm a new patient and Dr. Greenberg gave a good first impression. He also was able to find an issue that a previous orthopedic doctor missed and told me I need surgery ASAP. I never had surgery before and Dr. Greenberg and his team made me comfortable and everything!
