TOA Testimonials

I was referred to Dr. Burval by my family medical doctor due to having pain in my upper back/shoulder area. When visiting Dr. Burval, he showed professionalism & knowledge of my issue, and I was very pleased with how he explained to me what would correct my issues. He was straight forward, provided the truth about the possible outcome after surgery, and even took my request for a second opinion without hesitation. I would definitely recommend seeing him, and his staff as well. His nurse, Tanya would always return my calls when I had questions, as her professionalism was super! She always maintained her professionalism no matter how often I called and appreciate her for this.

I want to thank Dr. Carpenter and his staff for the consistently wonderful care I have received for the past seven months post hip replacement. I gave all highly satisfied ratings because Dr. Carpenter and his staff deserve it! I have been cared for, and cared about, by the doctor and his staff for seven months so far. I have several months to go and look forward to their guidance. They are consistently compassionate in their caregiving and will do anything to accommodate your needs. This is rare in the world today.

I had a 30 year history with my right knee being bone on bone and went for injections for years with no luck. My PCP recommended Dr. Kurtz and I felt totally confident in him as my joint replacement doctor. I have many allergies and medical hurdles and he found a replacement perfect for me. I'm so very happy with my new knee and I absolutely loved working with everyone of his staff members in my surgery and recovery. As a retired FF/EMT I've worn my body down and now I'm able to get back to hiking and other outdoor activities pain free again. Thank you, Dr. Kurtz and staff.

About 12 years ago, Dr. Karpos did a knee replacement on my right knee. Today it is still doing great. Great doctor.

I had been having trouble with trigger finger for last few years. After the injection failed (done by another doctor) I started researching hand specialist in Nashville. Dr. Siegel was top tier quality. I scheduled an appointment. My first visit was quick. She came in, examined me, discussed surgery and was out. Now some people expect a full 30 minutes with the doctor, but I knew she was the one. An excellent doctor does not need 30 minutes to diagnose something that is their passion for life. You can tell right away that Dr. Siegel is that doctor. I had hand surgery on the 17th of September. Today is the 26th. My hand is doing GREAT! Never really had any pain after day two, that Tylenol didn't take care of. Small incisions were made in the creases of my palm so you can't really see them. The long wait of being pain free is wonderful. I can write, garden, wash dishes without breaking them and so many other things. I had relied on others for help. I had basically stopped doing everything I enjoyed. Anything more and my hand was so painful that I couldn't function and was losing sleep. Not anymore!! I'm extremely happy and will refer all I can so they can be pain free and happy like me! I'm not one that likes the word AMAZING, but Dr. Siegel is all that and more!! Her therapy team are extremely sweet. I had my first therapy with Erin and she pushed me to keep trying to move my fingers and hand. She said I would have a splint if I couldn't straighten my finger. I did it. Came home with no splint and have been doing the exercises multiple times daily. I can't wait to show her at next session how much improvement I've made. It's like I never had the surgery. Dr. Siegel and TOA have a flawless program that runs like a well-oiled machine from start to finish. Thank you. I'm forever grateful to you all.

Specifically relieved to find such a professional, intelligent and direct orthopedist. Very mannerly, kind and compassionate. Very knowledgeable, even to myself, who has spent 38 years in the medical field from a Masters in Nursing Science prospective, NSICU, CCU, ER and Case Manager.

My entire experience with Dr. Langan and his staff has been phenomenal. I am now fully recovered from my broken hip, can walk with no limp or pain, and now have only a minimally visible scar. Great team. Great job!

I recently had foot surgery under the care of Dr. Herring. Several pockets of arthritis were removed, as well as a bone spur on top of my foot. Three bone staples were required. I expected post-op pain... but instead I've only had some minor discomfort. Would I recommend TOA? Yes, in a second. Would I recommend Dr. Herring? Yes, in a heartbeat!

Dr. Cain did my shoulder that had shattered due to a fall. Dr. Cain was great as a surgeon and really took time to listen and explain everything to me.

I would highly recommend Dr. White. She helped me greatly.....a very good doctor.

During the ice storm in Middle Tennessee in February, I fell in my driveway and hurt my right shoulder. It got worse and I made an appointment with TOA to see Dr. Justin West. After getting an MRI, I visited Dr. West to get the news. It was not good. I had torn 2 of my rotator cuff muscles, my bicep and my tricep. Throw in a bone spur and I feared losing motion in my right shoulder forever. Dr. West calmly explained to me the details of the surgery and in three weeks I headed for my operation. Afterwards he explained to my wife what he had done and post-op instructions. Sleeping in a recliner for weeks is not fun, but I could tell each day got a little better. I am now 5 months out and have complete use of my right arm again. I can push mow my yard and swing my golf clubs. I can never repay Dr. West for the fantastic job he did and would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.

This week I was evaluated by Dr. Anderson because I twisted my knee and strained my leg. I had an MRI of my left knee which showed torn menisci and arthritis. At my appointment, Dr. Anderson warmly greeted my husband and me. He asked me questions about my injury and intently listened to what I had to say. I was prepared to hear that I needed surgery, but Dr. Anderson is studied in current practices for such ailments and told me surgery would not be necessary. He gave me a cortisone shot and lots of encouragement. Add my 5-star review to the many others for Dr. Anderson and his staff!
