Here to Serve You

As an established resource for highly skilled orthopedic physicians, Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance is proud to offer a vast selection of treatment options for sports medicine in Nashville and its surrounding communities. Our very own Dr. A. Brant “Pinky” Lipscomb served as a team physician for the athletic department at Vanderbilt for more than 43 years. Not only did Dr. Lipscomb earn a reputation as the pioneer in making this type of medicine a widely accepted specialty, but he has also had a significant impact on TOA's sports therapy programs.

If you or a family member suffers from ongoing pain or discomfort from a sports injury, you can rest assured that our highly skilled orthopedic physicians are well-trained in the same techniques utilized by Dr. Lipscomb. We put his philosophy of providing specialized sports-specific care to innovate and develop better methods of treatment to use day in and day out. We dedicate ourselves to ongoing education and training, as well, we utilize state-of-the-art tools and innovative techniques to have the most successful outcomes while caring for our patients.
