Dr. Paul Grutter, MD

Dr. Grutter sat down and talked about my concerns.

Dr. Grutter is an exceptional surgeon. I have been blessed that he is my surgeon for bith a knee and hip replacements. He truly cares about you and your outcome. His entire team including physical therapy team in Gallatin TN are professional and caring.

Return visit after over 2 years regarding a knee problem. X-rays determined no additional damage. Received another injection as treatment. Instant relief. Staff and doctor were prompt, efficient and professional.

Thoroughly explained the diagnosis and offered nonsurgical treatment options. Stroud injection helped tremendously and will follow up with therapy.

Dr. Grutter reviewed my X-rays and was in speaking with me within moments of my appointment time. He asked me questions and actually listened to what I had to say. He explained the X-ray results, answered my numerous questions and explained my options. Only after he was sure that we both were clear on my choices, did the visit end. Dr. Grutter replaced both my knees 12 years ago (without complications) and if in the future I need that kind of care again, you can be sure that he is the one that I will call. I give him my Highest Recommendation.

Dr. Grutter was very good at explaining what my symptoms meant and suggesting treatments

Dr. Grutter listened and explained everything in a manner that I could understand and everyone in the office is very nice

Dr. Gutter explained my diagnosis & treatment in a clear, calm manner, listened to all my questions, & had a sense of humor.

Went to this Doctor because my GP recommended, I see for my Knee pain. After signing in and feel like they are very busy office... Was called into the back office and after about another 5 -7 minutes the doctor came in and sat by the door and asked what was going on, so I explained the problem that I was having. He then asked what I would like to do. I said I would like to work on getting rid of the pain and swelling in my knee. He never even came close to me, never even looked at my knee never even touched my knee. Told me to go through 6 weeks of exercises and come back, Um what for?????It ends up that it is just BURSITIS. Guess who figured it out. My daughter. Then I received a bill for 305$ for what.???????No I will never recommend him......

He’s what I consider as a hands on doctor, not one that sits behind a laptop and then says well that’s it bye. He reviews X-rays, discusses them, examines you then discusses your problems and options. I’m a return patient and confident that I’ll get the same treatment as the first time.

It's refreshing to find a Dr. That is caring knowledgeable, professional and realistic.

Excellent care and good outcome. I would recommend him to anybody who needs orthopedic care. The staff were friendly and efficient. All my questions were answered both administratively and medically. I would certainly recommend this office and any of their doctors if care of one orthopedic condition is necessary. having over 40 years of orthopedic experience as a caregiver myself I have seen many providers and watched how they do things. I believe that I know good service when I see it and especially when I get it. I would recommend any of the physicians at Tennessee sports medicine and orthopedics to anybody who needs orthopedic care. all my Thankquestions were answered frankly and clearly. All my treatment options were laid out for me and I was allowed to ask questions and make the decision along with the position. This type of service in healthcare It’s not always available, but in this instance of this clinic with these positions that I have seen I would recommend them to anybody.

First time seeing Dr Grutter , I was very impressed with his concern for my well being and trying to figure my options for medical treatment. I’d certainly recommend him

Dr. Gutter is a fantastic doc! He's polite, acts like he cares, truthful and tells you exact. I would recommend him to everyone. He has done surgery on my shoulder and did a fantastic job. Thank you Dr. Gutter!

Looking back it's hard to believe I went through the worst mistake I ever made having Paul Grutter replace my knee without ever getting to see an X-ray or explanation why my knee should be replaced other than 'it has some arthritis in it.' It's been over 3 years and my knee hurts much more now than it ever did. And I mean EVERY Day. I went for my 2 week follow up only to find he wasn't there that day. I had the scheduler's sheet but no one would look at my knee.So I had to travel again to see him & asked what the left knee looked like and he seemed upset that I asked & he went out of the exam room but came back in seconds to say 'its got some arthritis in it.' Like a robot going by a script. I've learned that knee replacement is the most oversold surgery in America.No.. get a second & third opinion, like I did for my hip at Bone & Joint Institute (which went very well) and I can assure you that Grutter will never get near me or anyone I know again in my life.

Short wait time, very knowledgeable and clear on treatment plan and follow up.

Dr. Grutter did a wonderful job on my hips. I can now walk normal & without pain after 15 yrs. He is very personal & spends as time as needed.
