I am officially 9mo. post op from my TKR that Dr. Thomas Gautsch did for me last October 0f 2025!…read more I would have to admit that my recovery was not fast like some are, however, my recovery took every bit of patience, endurance, and listening to my Physical Therapist, Amy at Dr. Gautsch's Clinic. I have stayed very consistent with my exercises that I was given thus far. I had to preserve when I thought I just could not. Today , I can say, I am so grateful for Dr. Gautsch and his expertise in this minimally invasive technique that he has literally mastered! Dr. Gautsch also has incredible staff with Nurse Ashley, and the girls in the front office and my incredible, patient, caring PT Amy! The care that the office team gives is loving, highly knowledgeable and encouraging! My story is that I have had bone on bone knee pain and discomfort for long over 15 plus years. I kept active and suffered at night. I lived on over the counter NSAID's and finally went to a daily prescription to manage the discomfort. If you're reading this you know what I am talking about! When I met with Dr. Gautsch he completely understood my situation! He was very easy to discuss my future with and how I would love to have an active life again! I have 5 grandchildren that are under the age of 8 and it was becoming debilitating to keep up. Going to the Zoo sounded like torture to have to walk and I surely didn't want that any more! He explained the surgical procedure with my husband and I and made it all very easy to understand! I did do all of my PT at the Southern Sports Clinic there at his office and I am so grateful I did! I have to say a huge THANK YOU to my precious husband and our family plus our friends , as this was everyone's involvement to get me going after surgery. My family would help me bend to achieve my range of motion and CHEER me on! My Grandchildren would help my with my exercise's! I had a huge amount of support! Thank team! Today, I can walk miles! I finally can golf and go all day on my feet with out the pain and discomfort I had literally experienced for years and years. Thank you Dr. Gautsch for helping me get LIFE BACK! I would encourage all that have TKR Dr. Gautcsh knows exactly what his is doing and has done thousands upon thousands of TKR's and I am one very Grateful gal!

As someone who has not received surgery, I felt like I was a patient because it was just as important for me to have the knowledge of the surgery and recovery for my husband's sake.

Then I read about AOS where they use a "Southern Method" and go in the side of the knee instead of the front thus lessening the pain. I had AOS do my surgery and I was pleasantly surprised. They had me walk up and down 3 stairs and walk down the hall right after I woke up from surgery. I walked out of the hospital to go home. I was able to go to PT 3 days after surgery. If i had been working in an office job, I could have returned to work 4 weeks after surgery. The doctor was excellent and well prepared for any problems that might come up post surgery.

What makes it even more ridiculous is that I already completed the online check-in the day before. Yet when I finally got to the desk, I still had to hand over my driver's license and insurance card and verbally verify all the same information that was supposedly completed online. So what exactly is the point of online check-in if patients still have to redo everything at the front desk? Standing in a crowded waiting room line for over half an hour when you're not feeling well isn't a great first impression. The process feels extremely inefficient and defeats the entire purpose of offering online registration in the first place. Hopefully the medical care is better than the check-in process, but based on the first experience, the front-end system definitely needs some serious improvement.

Don't get me wrong: I like eating and drinking and a lionshare of folks come to Yelp looking for restaurant information. But a surprising amount of people also come to Yelp looking for a physician. When I can, I like to be of service. If you need an ENT physician, look here. Specifically, look for Dr. O'Malley. I'd been having some hearing issues for a little while and had been putting off getting things checked out. Realizing that I had the privilege of insurance (a whole can of worms that phrase is), I thought better of my pigheadedness and made an appointment. Actually, my PCP made the appointment. He's awesome and made sure I was in good care. I arrived early (as every new patient should) and realized I parked in the wrong building/garage. Making my way across the buildings, I marveled at how fortunate I was to be at this facility. Health care is a giant of the Nashville economy for a reason. I arrived to the Otolaryngology suite and was the only person in the waiting room. I was checked in by a very pleasant woman, waited a bit and was called back to engage in my hearing test. Both of my techs were kind and clear in their directions. I asked dumb questions and they responded with patience and concern. This matters. Oh, and they were timely! My appointment started on time and ended on time. I was, then, led to the next portion of my appointment and met with Dr. O'Malley. He, too, was on time and up to speed. It sounds like a small thing but anyone who's waited for a significant amount of time to see a doctor knows the joy of on-time appointments. The doctor asked me questions about me, my job and why I was there. I liked all three. It shows that I'm being seen as a person and not just a body to get through. Again, sounds small. Makes a big difference. After engaging in small talk that turned to medical talk turned into an examination, I underwent a procedure. All the while, he explained what he was doing and why he was doing it. My comfort and calm were of paramount concern. Afterwards, Dr. O'Malley clearly laid out what my recovery and follow-up expectations should be. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks but I 100% would recommend Dr. O'Malley and the Vandy Bill Wilkerson Otolaryngology Department for any/all ENT needs. A great doctor is worth his weight in gold. I hope I've helped you find one.

It sits off of the main road near the large Seven Springs complex. It's at the base of an unassuming office building. I had a 2pm appointment, checked in, waited a few minutes then made my way back to the room. Procedure/shot took place, and I left. All within about 45 minutes. The major difference with this location and the East Nashville is service and bedside demeanor. The associate at the counter was disengaged, and the nurses were flat. Was an odd vibe. Overall, the procedure went fine and I am finally feeling better, so I'll give them that. For my physical therapy and follow ups, I'll keep to my East Nashville location.
