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.
Great doctor who has taken care of me for 14 years...2 knee replacements, shoulder surgery, carpal tunnel, and trigger fingers on both hands. He's fantastic.

I was seen very quickly from my first contact. I was not kept waiting in the office and all necessary services were provided at the first visit.
He recommended appropriate conservative care and made a follow up appointment.
Very happy with care.

Thanks to Dr Reat I finally got relief from bursitis/tendinitis in my hip joint. I had been treated by another doctor with no results. Dr Reat gave me a cortisone injection and ordered physical therapy. Finally pain free!

I've been a patient of Dr. Reat for over a decade. He is straight with me about treatment options and recovery times. He also pays attention to what's going on with my whole body and explains how things are interconnected. When I leave, I usually feel like I understand what's causing a specific pain or discomfort, and what I can to to help myself overcome it.

This was the first time I saw Dr. Reat in the Crossville office. The office staff is very accommodating. I did not have to wait long for Dr. Reat. He was very nice and professional, gave me injections that I could have then, and made some suggestions. I was very pleased with him
