Sports Medicine Specialists
Whatever the playing field, whatever the injury, athletes of all ages trust the specialists at KOC to get them back in the game.
KOC has been, and continues to be, East Tennessee’s most trusted name in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine. KOC’s roots in area athletics span years before Sports Medicine was even considered a specialty. As the most established orthopaedic group in Knoxville, we have proudly served as orthopaedic surgeons for the University of Tennessee Athletic Department since 1949. And, as we continue that tradition, we are also pleased to provide sideline coverage to area high school athletes through our Athletic Trainer Outreach program.
The Fellowship-trained, Sports Medicine Specialists possess the advanced level of experience and expertise to best treat sports injuries, from the common to the complex. Athletes of all ages and skill levels have returned to their sports safely, with a renewed confidence in their ability to compete. So, whether an injury happens before, during, or after the game…our team of orthopaedic specialists is on hand to provide you with the most comprehensive care available with an unmatched level of experience and expertise.
