Arthritis runs in my mother's side of the family. When my right hip got to be bone on bone, I was also facing Achilles tendon surgery. Four months after the tendon surgery, Dr. Kurtz performed right hip replacement. Pain was minimal and recovery was pretty quick. Three years later, my left hip was bone on bone, so Dr. Kurtz did that surgery as well. I had been getting injections in my right knee for three years and if finally got to the point that it was going to have to be replaced. Dr. Kurtz did my knee replacement surgery on July 24, 2025. I am amazed at how little pain I've had, how the incision is healing and how rapidly the rehab and recovery has been. I ditched the walker after a week and started using a cane. If you need hip or knee surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Kurtz. He's the best!

After over two years of chronic pain in my left hip, and seeing a handful of different doctors, I finally found Dr. Snowden. At my first appointment with Dr. Snowden, I knew he was the right doctor for me. I had spinal fusion surgery and my pain was GONE! I have now referred quite a few people to Dr. Snowden. He's the BEST!

I have seen Dr. Jordan for years with my knee problems. In 2016, I had meniscus surgery and all went great. Dr. Jordan has helped me get the most out of my knees until I needed replacements in 2022. Both knees have done great and I am so thankful I was under the care of Dr. Jordan and staff. They are definitely top of the line in my books and I would highly recommend!

Dr. Carpenter has done my left knee total replacement, and is now going to do the right knee. I wouldn't want any one else do it. Everything went smooth, the scarring was minimal and I have great range of motion now, with no pain at all. The physical therapists that helped me afterward told me how great of a job he did also.

It's been seven weeks now since I had total knee replacement surgery. To say I am VERY PLEASED with the results is a gross understatement. Ecstatic is more like it. Dr. Timothy Steinagle performed the surgery. He did an outstanding job (as did the people supporting him). If I had to do it all over again, he positively would be my first choice for the job. Truly my only choice. If he wasn't available, I would wait. Dr. Steinagle performed the surgery robotically. Absolutely the way to go. My new knee looks (post-op x-rays) and feels like a perfect fit. Last week was my final week of physical therapy. I've still got a ways to go with the exercises, etc., etc., but I've been ahead of the curve on everything and fully expect it stay that way. THANK YOU, DR. STEINAGLE!!!

I had a Spinal injection last week with Dr. Bowman and I just want to say what a caring, amazing, wonderful physician he is.

Thank you so much. Highly recommend this amazing group of doctors and nurses.

I cannot say enough great things about my care from Dr. Burton and the ambulatory surgery center. They went above and beyond to provide exceptional care during my knee replacement surgery. I will definitely refer friends and family to him.

Dr. Koch is a wizard. I had a 15 year old RC tear that I finally blew out completely. My arm would just hang most days. He not only fixed my RC, but I was throwing baseballs at five months and back on the softball field in under seven months. I could not be happier.

Dr. Shibayama is the best MD I've ever had pertaining to my back issues. I've suffered with a fractured disc and bulging disc for a year. God finally brought Dr. Shibayama into the my life. Just one day after, a very much dreadful and scary surgery, I was at least 85% percent pain free. I've taken two Tylenol about 14 hours after surgery and it's been fine ever since. I'm still having to stick to my BLTs (no bending, lifting, twisting) which I have found to be a hard adjustment, but I know it's not forever. Even with the BLT's I'm still in much less pain that before the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Shibayama for any surgery you need, within his specialty of course. He even called me at home the next day to check on me and see how things were going. He encouraged me to reach out to him if I had any further questions or concerns. Thank you God for working through Dr. Shibayama's skills and knowledge to help me improve my overall health, physically and mentally. See you in 3 weeks for my follow-up Dr. Shibayama!

I was referred to Dr. Carpenter by another Orthopedic doctor because the damage to my right knee was beyond his expertise. I was a little apprehensive at first, but doctor Carpenter won my trust over almost immediately by his warm and caring personality. I underwent a full knee replacement surgery on February 18th and by the 2nd week I was already walking without the assistance of a walker. It's now week 4 and I'm doing yard work and my regular household duties pain free!!! I was barley able to walk for two years without feeling excruciating pain and now I am again, pain free! Dr. Carpenter is an excellent doctor who is truly gifted in Orthopedic surgery! He gave me my life back! I can now join my daughter on some of her hikes and see the beautiful Tennessee water falls! I no longer have to make excuses when I'm invited somewhere because I was to embarrassed to make people wait for me because of the pain I used to be in that made it hard for me to walk. Doctor Carpenter gave me back my life and I'm so thankful that he is my doctor!
