Orthopaedics is the medical specialty that focuses on injuries and diseases of your body's musculoskeletal system. This complex system includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves and allows you to move, work, and be active.

We invite you to visit our website frequently to read about exciting new ways our physicians help their patients get back to a more active lifestyle that allows them to "Get Out There" and enjoy beautiful Tennessee! 

Our orthopaedic surgeons are familiar with all aspects of the musculoskeletal system, and many specialize in certain areas, such as the foot and ankle, spine, knee, or sports medicine. Orthopaedic surgeons are medical doctors with extensive training in the proper diagnosis and treatment of injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, who have completed up to 14 years of formal education.

Orthopaedic surgeons spend many hours studying and attending continuing medical education courses to stay up-to-date in current orthopaedic knowledge and skills. We invite you to visit this site again as new articles are added to our new website that showcase how our physicians stay abreast of the latest advances in orthopaedic treatment.
