About

One proven reputation.
The frontier of orthopaedic medicine has undergone a vast expansion over the years. With technological advancements that continue to increase the depth of knowledge, the pace of discovery within the field of orthopaedics has accelerated with each passing year. Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic has traditions of keeping pace with and contributing to orthopaedic progress and of bringing the best of new information and technology to the Knoxville community.

The tradition of excellence began with the founding partners, Dr. Robert G. Brashear, Dr. Thomas F. Stevens, and Dr. Harrison O. Bourkard. Since the mid-1930s, our physicians have been entrusted with the care of injured University of Tennessee athletes, a relationship that dates back to General Robert Neyland and remains strong today.

At Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic, a group of surgical pioneers has blazed the trails of patient care, each in a particular area of expertise. We take pride in these achievements and will continue to provide quality of care for our patients and to the East Tennessee community.
