- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can now walk without pain-thanks to Dr. Holt. He, along with his assistant Erin took great pains to explain everything to me before the surgery. Then the procedure went very smooth and in 5 weeks I was able to graduate physical therapy. Life was about back to normal!! Thanks much”– GaylanTreating Provider: E. Michael Holt, M.D.
- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can walk with out it feeling like a stick is going up the middle of my leg I had my Achilles' tendon calcified and I had gone to 4 doctors and no one had ever seen anything like it and would not do anything for me, and then I found Dr. Christine Seaworth and she said she would help me. She had me in surgery a few weeks later and did a fantastic job on my leg. I could not have found a better physician than Dr. Seaworth. She is a very caring and an amazing doctor and I would recommend her to anyone. I have the most high confidence in her. And I want to thank you Dr. Seaworth for your determination to help me. I am very thankful.”– GarrellTreating Provider: Christine M. Seaworth, M.D.
- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can...now walk with less pain in my foot and ankle. Dr. Seaworth went above and beyond and was very knowledgeable and explained the procedure where I could understand. I would recommend her to anyone.”– BerthaTreating Provider: Christine M. Seaworth, M.D.
- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can...now go back to having a normal life. For over a year prior to the surgery, I could barely walk and wore a steel knee brace all the time to walk as well as I did. It has been 3 months since my surgery and I am already back to my normal activities. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Holt. He has been not only a great surgeon, but he is kind and caring---not arrogant like so many ortho surgeons are. I went to therapy for six weeks and have done all the exercises that I was told to do. It does exactly what the doctor and the therapist said it would. It gave me my life back.”– DeniseTreating Provider: E. Michael Holt, M.D.
- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can…In Feb. 2015 my 17 year old sustained a severely broken leg when his ATV hit a car head on. Due to the road conditions we took him to the nearest hospital where his initial surgery was done. After 3 months he was showing no signs of healing and still not able to walk. A friend advised we see Dr. Tonne. He immediately did a series of blood test to determine the delay in healing and found he had a staf infection from the previous care. Approximately 1 1/2 weeks later, Dr. Tonne completed the necessary bone graph and several weeks of antibiotic for the infection. Dr. Tonne and his team are amazing! They have a heart for their patients and you feel you are important them. We wish we had taken him here initially. A lot of healing delay could have been avoided. We will continue to use this team for any future needs as well as highly recommending this team to everyone.”– LisaTreating Provider: Brian M. Tonne, M.D.
- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can...now walk better and no longer suffer from bursitis which I've had for eight years. Thanks to Dr. Eilerman for evening my legs with my hip replacement my life is much improved.”– CarolTreating Provider: Michael S. Eilerman, M.D.
- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can...walk without pain in my left ankle. I went on the internet in August and found Dr. Christine Seaworth at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. I called and the receptionist advised me that her doctor would need to check my records to see if I would be a good candidate, so I called my doctor and had them send my records to Knoxville. I figured it would be months before I heard anything. I was very surprised when they called less than a week later and set up an appointment. I saw Dr. Seaworth on August 8th. She put everything in motion and after having a CT scan of my ankle, my surgery took place on September 28th. My new ankle is titanium and polyethylene, and is made to my exact needs. I had suffered for years with not being able to walk or walk with a limp and that caused my back to hurt. I saw Dr. Seaworth today at her Turkey Creek office and I am now a whole person and able to walk without limping. Anyone who has ankle problems should contact DR. CHRISTINE SEAWORTH at UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE MEDICAL CENTER IN KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE or call her office at 1865-546-2663. That's the smartest move I've ever made. And one more thing, THANKS DR. SEAWORTH, YOU ARE THE BEST.”– TeresaTreating Provider: Christine M. Seaworth, M.D.
- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can...now go back to exercising almost as I had done before. At least I can start building back up to my previous levels. All of the staff here was very friendly and helpful during my various visits getting boots, cast and assessment of my Achilles tendon issue.”– MikeTreating Provider: Christine M. Seaworth, M.D.
- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can...Walk without pain Dr Holt and his staff were outstanding . The treatment I received was so professional and caring.. I truly they are miracle workers. I can function without pain for the first time in years. I would highly them to anyone who wants the best there is.”– MarilynTreating Provider: E. Michael Holt, M.D.
- “Thanks to my care at UOS, I can... walk, carry on daily activities all while being pain free. Dr. Eilerman was professional, discussed my options during my first visit. He was confident and caring leaving me comfortable enough to cancel another appointment for another opinion. Surgery was performed. My recovery was far easier and faster than anticipated. I attribute this not just due to my following instructions but to the care and information that I was provided with. The pre-surgery class was excellent. The entire staff involved went out of their way to be helpful and supportive. Prior to the surgery I was in quite a bit of pain, the hip was grinding bone on bone. Now, 6 weeks later I am hiking 2-4 miles 4 days a week! Looking forward to riding my horse very soon.”– MonicaTreating Provider: Michael S. Eilerman, M.D.
