TOA Testimonials

Dr. Rungee handled my inquiries with patience, a bit of dry humor, & smiles!

I loved Dr. Rungee! He was so professional! I loved getting a smile from him when asking him silly questions about CBD and bringing my enormous pillow bought off of Amazon for his opinion. He was delightful! I got passed on to a different specialist, but I'll miss Dr. Rungee and our visits! I regret I didn't ask him about his experiences in the military. He is very disciplined and professional, but handled me and all my silly inquiries with patience, a bit of dry humor, and with smiles! Loved Dr. Rungee!

Dr. Joyner did a wonderful job!

Dr. Joyner and the nurses and anesthesiologist did a wonderful job on my surgery for my finger. They were great and were very friendly and took superb care of me. Dr. Joyner cares about his patients and I'm so blessed to have him as my doctor.

Dr. Carpenter is FANTASTIC

Dr. Carpenter is FANTASTIC. He has done my three total joint replacement surgeries over a period of years: left knee (robotic procedure) and left and right hips (minimally invasive direct anterior procedures), the most recent in an outpatient setting. I'm 76 years old and who would have guessed that the last surgical hip replacement procedure would be over in about 45 minutes, with less than 2 hours in outpatient post-op. Dr. Carpenter is very open and friendly, and responds thoroughly to questions. I cannot imagine a more professional and expert representative in the orthopedic surgical profession. TOA is fortunate to have him.

Excellent job by Dr. Burrus!

I went to the Hendersonville location for an MRI and later to see Dr. Burrus for pain caused by a pinched nerve. Both experiences were pleasant and all of the staff were very helpful and friendly. I also had a disk removed by Dr. Burrus and he did an excellent job. So far, I am finally pain free!

Hip Surgery Success with Dr. Carpenter

I was in very bad pain in my left leg and could not walk. I had a friend drive me to Saint Thomas Midtown and I had a broken hip and thigh bone. Dr. Carpenter did surgery on me after less than two hours after being in the ER. I can't thank him enough. I had no idea my hip was broken at all. He did a full Hip Replacement and also had to put cables in my leg. I'm so thankful to him and his team for taking such great care of me. After three weeks, I had done so well, Dr. Carpenter said I was able to drive!! Thank you so much!!!

TOA is a great group of highly skilled professionals!

Almost seven years ago I received a traumatic injury to my right shoulder. It left me with significant pain and limited range of motion. I met Dr. Teske on May 9, 2023. He explained findings, treatment options, post-procedure recovery limitations, anticipated outcomes, and the timeline for each option. He answered each of my questions in detail. After being an RN for 3+ decades I have been trained to ask very specific questions and I asked a lot of questions. I have surgery in two days. I have full faith and confidence that he has the skills to improve my function. An added bonus is that I value is that he is an incredibly good person.

As for ancillary services of TOA and his support staff... Dr. Teske's RN has a customer service focus second to none. TOA MRI people were both kind and efficient. TOA Physical Therapy staff scheduling my future appointments were superior.

TOA is a great group of highly skilled professionals.

"I owe it all to Dr. Kurtz!"

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing I think Dr. Kurtz is. From the day I met him until yesterday when he released me, only three weeks after surgery, it's been an amazing experience. I do believe, 1000%, that the surgeon you choose really matters. While I was doing research on surgeons, I came across Dr. Kurtz and the first thing that stood out to me is that his first degree is in mechanical engineering. That was so very cool to me. I've had very little pain since my surgery. I've recovered way better than a LOT of people that I know and I owe it ALL to Dr. Kurtz. I cannot recommend him enough. He's amazing and you can trust him with all of your joint replacement needs.

"Dr. West is a wonderful physician"

Dr. West is a wonderful physician who I trust implicitly to take care of my orthopedic problems. He has replaced both of my knees, and 10 days ago replaced my left shoulder with a reverse total shoulder. He takes his time to explain in clear language your options including non-surgical ones. He gives you time to make your decision on how to proceed with no pressure at all. He is warm and personable and always has a smile. He is also an extremely well-trained and knowledgeable orthopedic physician. His personal office staff (PA Katrina and MA Jennifer) are also top notch. I would refer him in a heartbeat to anyone needing orthopedic care, and I don't plan on ever seeing anyone else.

"Dr. Ashley is great!"

Dr. Ashley is great. He walked me though the procedure and put me at ease. He made a nerve racking event into a much easier event to handle. The not knowing is scary. He put me at peace. Thank you!
