Brought my son who broke his arm to see Dr. Starnes, he was EXCELLENT in working with him. He took time to review X-rays (done at a different place), answer any questions, and find a game plan. He really took in to account how active my son is and what would be the best way to get him all healed up. He was amazing!rater8 Verified Patient

Dr. Starnes is great! He listened to my concerns and figured out what the problem was before my MRI was done. He gave me a solid plan to work with where I didn’t get that with another doctor. I would absolutely refer him and if the need arises again, I would go back to him.Patient Submitted Review

This was my first visit with Dr. Thomas Starnes. The visit could not have gone any better. He exceeded all of my expectations. He was warm, respectful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He brought my MRI up on the screen and explained in detail to my husband and I what I was experiencing. He offered many solutions and paths that we could take, but asked that we start very slow and basic so we could rule out which would be the right path for me moving forward. Looking so forward to working with this doctor again.rater8 Verified Patient

I saw Dr. Starnes at the walk in clinic after a not so pleasant experience at another practice. I was hoping for injections and therapy for a shoulder injury, but Dr. Starnes felt I needed surgical consultation first. I am thankful that Dr. Starnes did not do the injections as I wanted, because it would have delayed my surgery. Very kind and compassionate provider. He listened to my concerns and spent a lot of time explaining my injury and he recommendations. There was a student with Dr. Starnes the day I saw him, and he seemed very patient and to be a good mentor to the student.Patient Submitted Review

Just saw Dr Starnes who came highly recommended by Health professionals who basically walk on water as far as I'm concerned. Well, he certainly didn't disappoint me. He was kind and very confident, sure of himself. He diagnosed and treated me in a very quick time frame. In a couple short days I felt the relief I was promised. Very professional. 6 stars if I could!!!!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Starnes is by far the best of all the orthopedic doctors I have seen over the years from sports related injuries. He is more patient-centered than any doctor I have worked with. I encourage you to go see him if you have an injury that you are struggling with. He will work with you and explore every possible solution until you are up and running again.Patient Submitted Review

What a great experience! My son sustained a basketball injury, and Dr. Starnes was so helpful. He spoke to my son in a manner that set my son at ease. It was apparent he was knowledgeable with sports and their related injuries. He even did the ultrasound himself in the exam room and explained as he went along. I would absolutely return to him and would quickly refer him to anyone needing assistance with an injury.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Starnes was so helpful explaining Zaxks x-rays and what we needed to do for Zacks healing. He encouraged Zack to take care of his ankle, but also to continue his sports. We were very much satisfied. Drove an hour and 15 minutes to get there, but the staff and Dr. Starnes made it well worth it! Thanks Again!Patient Submitted Review
