TOA Testimonials

I am a Track/XC runner and when I first started running, I lost a lot of weight very quickly. I was in great condition at first. But as the seasons went on (I was playing soccer and running XC, simultaneously for context), my performance continually dropped, and I experienced many worrying conditions following and during races, such as dizziness, brain fog, difficulty breathing, loss of color, etc. After nearly passing out during a race and being unable to get off the ground for 20-30 minutes, we were struggling to find a solution to this mystery problem. We decided to reach out to Rachel Mullen for help. She assisted us tremendously by providing example fueling plans based on my personal needs and gave us guidance on the types of bloodwork to get done in order to determine the underlying problem, an iron deficiency. Since then, using the supplementation and meal plan constructed from my iron issues, I've been able to gradually build speed and endurance again without feeling on the verge of collapse and have noticed the improvement of many symptoms that previously ailed me. I am so thankful to Rachel and the TOA program for their services. This experience and their aid has helped me realize how important proper nutrition is in sport. 

Emma reached out to me shorty after I filled out a patient survey after my final appointment with my excellent TOA surgeon. At the end of that survey it asked if I would be interested in a Nutritionist/ Dietitian TOA was providing. I jumped at the chance! I was diagnosed last year as diabetic. I had so many questions. The internet just overwhelmed me with so much information! Then I got the survey. Emma helped me set up my appointment. She was so helpful!! Then I met Rachel, my wonderful dietitian. Rachel is so easy to talk to. She really cares about your health. Rachel is awesome in the fact that she listens, answers all your questions and takes the time to explain things in detail. I love how even after our session ends, she emails me with her professional suggestions. I can email her anytime with my dietary concerns and she responds quickly. I know I am on the right track to a healthier me. I feel so blessed to find someone like Rachel. I highly recommend Nutrition by Emma, a service offered by TOA.

I am 6 weeks out from surgery (SD Feb 10,2026) and I feel great! Before surgery I couldn't walk or drive without pain. In the last 6 weeks I have been shocked at the things I can do pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Carpenter as well as his NP Christina and his nurse Stephanie.

Recent visit for right wrist pain. Dr. Brown came in and from initial introduction to final diagnosis and plan was professional, empathetic and friendly. I immediately sent my wife a text saying one of the best Dr. visits I have ever had. Extremely knowledgeable, ensures patient understands diagnosis and doesn't talk down to patient like a lot of doctors tend to do. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Dr. Routh. After my 12 year TKR failed, I was in a challenging situation. Dr Routh performed a complex revision surgery, removing/replacing catastrophic failed parts with an excellent outcome. At 8 days post-op I had already achieved 114 Degree flexion. ***But what truly distinguishes Dr Routh is his willingness to listen to my individual needs. Dealing with pain management was a huge concern since my body processes certain medications differently, due to my genetic profile (CYP2D6) After years of feeling unheard and without pain relief after surgeries, Dr Routh worked with me to find a suitable pain management plan. This made a tremendous difference in my recovery experience! If you are looking for a surgeon who is not only technically skilled but also genuinely compassionate and attentive to individual patient needs, Dr. Routh is an excellent choice.

Dr. Carpenter performed a total hip replacement for me and I recovered ahead of schedule and fully mobile. I followed his advice to the letter and his excellent team supported me pre op, post op, and recovery. Dr. Carpenter gave me back my life and I am now pain free and fully active again. I am extremely grateful for his care and the care of his team. I wish I hadn't waited so long!.

Dr. Brown is an outstanding physician. Her medical/surgical skills are matched by amazing interpersonal skills. She communicates clearly, listens well, and honors her patients by her gracious manner. I have the highest respect for her and recommend her without hesitation.

I'm new to the city of Smyrna and had to find a new orthopedic doctor for a broken ankle. I'm a new patient and Dr. Greenberg gave a good first impression. He also was able to find an issue that a previous orthopedic doctor missed and told me I need surgery ASAP. I never had surgery before and Dr. Greenberg and his team made me comfortable and everything!

I had a total knee replacement performed by Dr. Greenberg in December. The recovery was rough, but I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with the care of Dr. Greenberg. His skill, his explanation about the surgery, his caring attitude, and the follow-up after surgery were exceptional. I am a nurse practitioner, and I appreciate his skill as a surgeon, his compassion, and his willingness to explain and individualize my care.

I would like to thank Dr. Eby for the time, concern and compassion he has shown. I was recently denied a procedure by my insurance company so I made an appointment to see him to find a treatment plan for the issue. When Dr. Eby entered the room, he told me he had done his homework and worked with his staff to have it approved before coming in the room to see me. I have seen several doctors in my lifetime and I have not known any of them to take the time, right there, and resolve an issue with an insurance company. You're the best Dr. Eby, thank you again.

I have been totally satisfied with Dr Burval, his staff and the staff at TOA. I have all the confidence in the world in them. I appreciate them taking care of me. I highly recommend them.

Doctor Corn is amazing! I had a bad break and Doctor Corn took very good care of it! I definitely recommend him!
