John Turnbull, MD

Knowledgeable and to the point. I love it

Dr Turnbull is a very good surgeon I would recommend him to anyone he has done all 3 of mine and I wouldn't go to anyone else

A excellent physician I would highly recommend Dr Turnbull to anyone needing orthopedic surgery.

First appointment with Dr. Turnbull. Everything went smoothly with check-in and getting into the waiting room in a timely manner. Nurse Amy was very polite and informative. Dr. Turnbull provided guidance on my issue and I was done quickly.

Highly recommend Dr. Turnbull.

good

Mr Turnbull was good, nice & friendly. That’s important to me. He seems like a very smart Doctor! I’m sure he will try different things to help me to get much better as we go along. My knees already feel better. It was just today! Thank you Dr Turnbull.

Cool guy

Just what eye expected

Great bedside manner. Very polite and professional.

Dr. John Turnbull did a total hip replacement on me on Feb 5th 2024. The quality of life just in just a few weeks after surgery is amazing. Just had my 3 month checkup and it’s as if the time had turned back 10 years!! John and entire staff is truly best in class and highly recommend him !!

Attentive and provided a logical path forward. Spent the time to answer all my questions.

Great job!! He fixed my hip and resolved my problem with knee

Excellent doctor! Very knowledgeable! Very pleasant to talk with as well as the staff

Excellent!

Excellent surgeon.

Kind and caring

I always enjoy my visits with Dr Turnbull! He is so sweet, kind , gentle, and very professional 🙂

Scott Lamb is friendly, easy to understand, and very knowledgeable.

Outstanding thanks Dr Trumbull

Went in for major knee pain in my right knee and minor pain in left knee. X-ray actually showed left knee had more damage. It was recommended that surgery was not needed at this time and treatment of cortisone would be the best option for now. No pressure at all from anyone. I took the shot in my right knee to see how it does but not the left one. Within 24 hours the knee was tremendously better. It’s been a week and I’m very glad I had the shot. As far as Dr. Trumbull and staff , I couldn’t be more pleased at this time. Dr. Was very direct in treatment and no nonsense in conversation, polite and professional. Thanks much.

Great as always. Does not beat around the bush. Gave me an injection in my knee. This really helped me in 2018, expect it to help me this time as well. Good Doctor and friend.

Extremely professional care. Great team.

I saw Scott. Personal n professional. Injected 3 sites for me. Would recommend

Professional, answered all questions, courteous

Very professional and a great listener!

Thank you

Good doctor

Dr. Turnbull is the best! Wouldn't trust any one else .

Best ortho Dr in town.

Wonderful experience meeting him.

great

I felt like he was a lot more hateful than friendly. The nurse practice Scott and the Nurse Courtney we’re wonderful to work with, though!

Very professional and. Knowledgeable. Easy to talk to.

Easy to talk to,

I appreciate him and honesty

Good visit.

He wants the best for his patients.

Dr. Turnbull is who I trusted when I had to have a knee replacement. Great experience and when it’s time for the other knee to be replaced he will be the one!!!!

NA

I'm thankful for Dr Turnbulls care. He carefully saw my healing. I wish there could have been a little more communication. I'll have to be sure to have my questions written down and ready for the next visit. One week post op and I'm doing well.

Had 2 total knee replacements within 6 months of each other. Life changing. Haven’t been this active or felt this good in years and I’m 74 years old. Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Turnbull and his staff.

Great doctor with a great personality

Outstanding doctor and surgeon! Total knee replacement, home 5 hours after surgery. 2 tylenol!

Actually seen nurse practitioner Scott. Scott and all of the staff were great! Scott did an awesome job on cortisone shot for my knee. I definitely recommend this crew!

Dr Turnbull and his staff are always attentive to the needs I bring to my office visit. I’m very satisfied with my hip replacement and the follow up care that I’ve received from them.

Did a great job on my surgery. All the staff has kind and courtesy.

He’s a great Doctor

It turned

Came right in. Wrote down my issue for me. Ordered an MRI

Very knowledgeable and thoroughly explains everything he will be doing.

Dr Turnbull is efficient and considerate with his patients. He has a “good bed side manner”

Wish there were more time for questions. Had a few at last visit.. but no time to ask.

He gave excellent recommendation for more appropriate care.

Excellent. Answers all questions in a manner that's understandable to non medical person.

Dr. Turnbull engaged my wife and me as though we were personal friends, not just patients to provide income.

He patiently answered all my questions, I had many. He explained the need for the hip surgery. Throughly examined my knee due to pain I was having in it.

Excellent doctor. I’m confident that I’m in good hands

He is kind and considerate. He wants to get you out of pain

Excellent!

He’s great

Like him

No problem with my visit, smooth in and out.

Dr Turnbull is the best. He is very professional in his approach to the patient. His surgery skills are excellent. He is outgoing and caring.

Dr. Turnbull is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. His replacement of my left knee made a huge difference in my life and his post-op plans worked perfectly for me. I'm now moving forward with the right knee replacement and hope to be back to myself in a few months. Courtney, who I work with a lot in his office, is also wonderful.

Took time to listen.

Easy to tslk to and explain evwrything i nwedwd to know

Indifferent to my needs. Unsupportive, unresponsive, unhelpful. Undeserving of even my copay. I was frustratingly unable to receive any assistance for an already aggravated condition

Excellent great job

Exceptional!!

Explained things so well. Showed X-rays which I appreciated. Took time and personable. Will recommend.

Always a good experience visiting Tier 1. Appreciate the fact that they now have office hours in Crossville. Dr. Turnbull is easy to deal with - his nurse, Cortnee, is first rate and very responsive.

Wasn’t in the room long enough to make any determination. This was her 2nd 6 weeks follow up, and of course! He wants her to come back AGAIN for a 3rd .

Answer all questions

I did t see the Dr but his assistant was very nice and explained everything very well!

wonderful!!

I did not get to communicate with the doctor. The PA was fine but I had wanted to consult with Dr Turnbull about shoulder repair. I made that notation when I scheduled

Scott Lamb was who I saw. Great interaction. Explained everything and I left happy. Thank you Sir

Very easy to talk to. Explains fully.

I saw Scott Lamb and loved how much time he took with me and explained everything and showed me my X-rays without me having to ask etc. He also addressed another problem I was having.

Compassionate, professional, fantastic

Dr Turnball took me right on time for my appointment. He spent time with me and really seemed to care.

Very nice and knowledgeable doctor

Saw PA Scott. He was excellent very Helpful in explaining my issues with knee

Always excellent care.

Excellent, compassionate, caring

Very impressed with everyone there Nice office, short wait time and visit with Dr Turnbull was great

Dr Turnbull was absolutely top notch! He listened and was straight forward with his knowledge and answers. He got me going in the direction I needed to be .

Dr. Turnbull cares about what is best for his patients. When you hate needles and have to have that shot, he has a great staff to help you calm down and even he will try to make you laugh.

He was very kind and knowledgeable and gave me options for my condition. His nurse was also very nice and kind. Put me at ease.

Had two total knee replacements, 1st one in August 2022 and the 2nd in February 2023. Experiencing great results from both. Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Turnbull. I wish I had had them done years earlier. Dr. Turnbull and his staff are fabulous.

always pleasant and detailed if you want him to be.

always very soothing and helpful

I hate these dumb surveys

Friendly and professional

Did not see Dr Turnbull, but Scott Lamb for shots in knees.

He takes time to talk to u like a real person not just a patient.

Professional, caring and great orthopedic doctor. Appointment is on time. A great staff!

Excellent experience as always. I would never trust any other doctor as much as I trust Dr. Turnbull. He and his staff have given me a better life as a result of my surgeries.

Great Dr, he cares about his patients and whats to see them benefit from his skill and knowledge.

Great experience at Tier 1!

He answered all my questions and explained all treatment options in detail. He was friendly and did not rush.

Very direct and to the point.

Very professional and nice - made me feel confident I was in good care.

Exceptional Doctor. Always takes time to answer any questions the patient has.

Great appointment not much pain at all. Very polite and friendly service thank you

Very attentive and listens to what is going on.

Dr. Turnbull gets right to the point and laid out a clear to understand plan for my needs.

f you want kind expertise...this is the place. I appreciate you all!

He the BEST!

He's a great surgeon, and I'm grateful for how he's helped me. However, I feel he's impatient when I ask questions.

Very Professional, but very friendly and helpful. Provides recommendations to correct, repair the issue. I recommend Dr. Turnbull to my friends.

Dr Turnbull and his staff have been excellent in every aspect of my knee replacement. Very pleased!

Nothing complicated required yet. Thorough initial visit and set plan. Personable, good listener.

With allll the patients he sees, Dr Turnbull seemed to remember me from replacing my hip over a year ago! That was nice.

Although skillful in his trade, Mr. Turnbull is Deficient in the ability to understand and communicate patient needs/concerns. Level 10 of 10 in arrogance.

I didn't actually get to see Dr Turnbull but his assistant was very nice and thorough with the examination and explanation of x-rays. Was a little disappointed i didn't actually see Dr Turnbull but i was well taken care of so i am happy

He is the best orthopedic doctor around he done my sons ACL surgery in 2012 and now he is working on my husband’s shoulder he did a few range of motion test in his office and already seems to know what his problem is doing a MRI to confirm but would recommend him to anyone

Very nice. Confident in his abilities!

Great doctor and staff

Very professional! Also Makes sure the patient is checked up on and making progress.

Friendly, efficient and effective treatment

Appreciate him being straight forward about things. All I need is the bottom line

Excellent doctor! Would highly recommend to anyone and if I ever need help with anything again Doctor Turnbull will be my choice!!!
