Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Consult for hip replacement
Dr. Burton was straight to the point. He explained my issue and the surgery i would need. I didn't have to wait long for the visit. The only downside is that I'm in way more pain than I allow to be seen. All my scans show the severity of my medical issues and how much pain I'm in. However I feel as if it wasn't acknowledged. Other than that, the visit was good. My surgery is scheduled in q weeks

I met Dr Lucas this week, and I liked his manner.
He introduced himself and his student, said he'd reviewed my case and did not think that more knee surgery is needed and that he wanted to confirm his diagnosis before beginning treatment. That was very comforting to hear. He ordered other text to rule out or to confirm surgery. He listened to me and answered my questions. My first encounter with Dr Lucas encouraged me to allow him to guide my treatment to restore my health. His creditionals were very impressive and he is highly recommended in his field.

Old school level care
It was highly impressive that Dr. Burton provides an old school approach of taking his time with patients with providing a thorough explanation of the mechanics of my knee issue, complete with visuals from x-ray. This is a rare level of care provided, especially with a large volume of patients. The staff in the office were genuinely friendly and showed great patient concern. I am not easily impressed but was highly impressed with Dr. Burton and his staff!

Welcoming staff and Dr Burton’s manner that put his patients at ease! I had R knee replacement in April 2024 at Centennial by Dr Burton. The entire experience from my very first appointment with Dr Burton whom I was referred to by Dr Christian Anderson whom I saw for 2yrs and strictly does sports medicine now was wonderful, thorough, professional and seamless right down to followup and P T. I will soon be scheduling my left knee with his scheduler! I highly recommend Dr. Burton and have to friends and family!

I am very impressed with the level of care and concern demonstrated by Dr. Burton during my visits with him. He is knowledgeable and he willingly answers questions and never makes you feel he is rushed or hurried. He explains your condition in an easily understood way. I highly recommend Dr. Burton and TOA for orthopedic care.

Exceptional
My husband needed hip replacement and was hesitant to get it done. He had been searching for over a year to find the right doctor. He found that in Dr. Burton. Dr. Burton is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. The office and staff was also very friendly, professional and informative. After surgery he also kept getting text messages checking on his progress and reminders of his after care and medicines. Highly recommend.

I broke my femur in a accident at work. He is a great dr who took the time to explain everything to me and my wife. Th surgery went great and all of my follow up visits have been great. He takes the time to talk and explain things to you plus he will answer all of your questions. Plus the office staff and the nurses and assistants were great and very nice.

Breath of fresh air
Came from cookeville to a doctor who can hopefully help. Dr. Burton was very friendly and didn’t rush through my appointment. He listened to everything I had to say and started right away on his concerns. He was concerned and took the time testing things and doing things that were most important. I was not rushed or talked over but treated with respect . It’s great to be with a doctor who really cares.
