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.

Dr. Brian M. Tonne saved my life when I had a traumatic femur fracture in 2014. Due to my injury, I developed avascular necrosis which required a total hip in 2020. Dr. Tonne is a superb physician in all ways. Besides being brilliant & skilled, he is caring and has one of the best bedside manners I have ever encountered. I am a retired physician and he explained every surgical detail thoroughly. I highly recommend Dr. M. Tonne to anyone who requires an orthopedic surgeon. His staff at Univ. of Tennessee was EXCELLENT from intake to discharge! I wish there were more Physicians like him. Sincerely Mary Lee.

Dr. Tonne and University Orthopedics are extremely disrespectful of patients' time. A typical 5 minute consult will require a half-hour wait before being called, and at least another 30-45 minutes to see the physician or PA. By far the worst practice management we've encountered in Knoxville. Comment based on 4 visits so far. Level of care seems appropriate, competent but average. Average time with physician/PA 5-10 minutes (and adequate for problem).

Dr. Tonne is the best, I was in a mva resulting in multiple fractures in my foot including a lisfrance fracture. After being told by other surgeons my injuries were to "complex" for them. I was referred to Dr. Tonne, In my consult Dr. Tonne explained my injuries and plan of treatment very thoroughly, And scheduled my surgery the next day. As expected my surgery went great, And I am extremely confident all future surgeries planned will go the same. I highly recommend Dr. Tonne, He is definitely the best in his profession.

Dr. Tonne was very nice after my first check up he called me that he will refer me to another doctor. And they will call me in a day or two. i waited for three weeks but I never got a call from that other doctor. We called the other doctor but they said they haven't recieved anything. My hip condition was getting worst. We kept calling Dr. Tonne's office but no clear answer. Three weeks ! We ended up picking up my medical records and handed it personally to another doctor.

Absolutely wonderful care & top confidence in Dr. Tonne. After a spiral compound fracture due to a motorcycle accident Dr. Tonne has taken great care of me. His ability to put you at ease in the most traumatic situations. His follow up care is compassionate and empathetic. I highly recommend Dr. Tonne for any surgical need.
