Dr Roberts is caring and thorough concerning your well being. He was highly recommended by my oncologist to perform my lung surgery to remove a malignant tumor. He made sure I was informed about the procedure and prepared me for my recovery. I hope to never have to go through this again, but I would call Dr Roberts without hesitation to care for me. And, I do recommend him!!

I can't begin to say enough about Dr. Roberts. I had a rare fungal virus attack my lymph nodes and they had cause Superior Vena Cava Syndrome. Dr. Roberts did extensive testing before surgery and always taking Thinking of my feelings and letting me digest what was going on in my body. I feel like after 2 years of all types of specialist not being able to find out what was wrong with me, that Dr. Roberts saved my life! I thank God everyday for leading me to him.

Dr. Roberts is direct and sincere in a very down to earth way as related to problem(s) that an individual may be experiencing. He does not rush during appointments, but takes time with explanations, answering questions, and projections related one's problem(s). I simply feel that I could not have been more fortunate anywhere than to be under his direct care.. J.F.T.

I had a very good experience with Dr. John Roberts and his staff. I did not even have to wait to get back to a room. I pretty much went right back after checking in. There was not much of a wait to have Dr. Roberts walk in the room either. So, that was great, especially since it was my first time there. Dr. Roberts was extremely friendly and he had great bed side manner as well. If you are looking for a Cardiothoracic Surgeon... Dr. Roberts is your guy!!

This was a first time visit to Dr. Roberts, recommended by our primary Doctor David Edwards. We were very pleased with the reception upon entering the office and the professional way in which we were treated. Dr. Roberts was very thorough in explaining the diagnosis and procedure to correct it.

Dr. John Roberts saved my wife's life back in 2015 after she was in a hospital here in Tullahoma and went through several heart attacks the night after she was put into the hospital. The doctors here, did not know what her problem was or tried to find out. It took a little over nine hours after telling us she would be sent to Centennial and lucky Dr. Roberts found her problem as here they wanted her in a nursing home. I recommend Dr. Roberts and give him an A plus rating.

I have been a patient of Dr Roberts since the latter part of 2015. He has performed two very successful major surgeries on me; one on each lung with excellent results and recovery. He is very thorough with his procedures, and very dedicated with following up to stay ahead of any issues that could arise in the future. I owe my life to this man. After all, he has saved it twice. I would definately recommend him to anyone. He is truly one of God's greatest gifts to the medical field.
