Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Just Awesome!
Dr. Kennon has put together an amazing team of clinicians that support him in his work. Very busy practice. He was patient, answered all my questions, and he or his team called me back with any questions I left on their voice mail. He personally called me the day after surgery to check on me. Highly recommend

Awesome orthopedic surgeon
Dr Kennon is an outstanding physician. He just repaired my clavicle fracture from a severe automobile accident. He answered all of my concerns and questions. My surgery required immediate attention and he scheduled me for surgery within one week. He communicated constantly and even called me the next day to check on me. I look to a complete recovery.

Massive Rotator Cuff Surgery
Telehealth
I cannot recommend Dr. Justin Kennon highly enough. After moving from Chicago to Knoxville, I suffered a severe rotator cuff injury, severing all four tendons. After thorough research and consulting top surgeons at Rush Hospitals in Chicago where my daughter works in surgery, I chose Dr. Kennon—and I’m so grateful I did.Dr. Kennon checked every box: Mayo Clinic-educated, highly experienced, specialized in shoulder repair, with a lot of experience and a published researcher with innovative and successful surgical techniques.The surgery was a complete success. Dr. Kennon stayed involved throughout my recovery, and thanks to him and the team at D1 Sports, I regained full range of motion in six months and am now building strength.If you need a skilled, compassionate, and dedicated surgeon, Dr. Kennon is the one to see. He has my deepest gratitude and highest recommendation.

Shoulder issue
I am an older, 72 year old male with a pulled bicep muscle after cutting trees all day. I was very worried about the pain and noise I was hearing from my shoulder. Dr Kennon explained the muscle groups, did an evaluation, and told me rehab and rest would probably put me right. I was referred to the TOC rehab people on Bearden Hill. Great folks and I am now finishing on my own with good results. Great staff from reception, Doctor, and rehab personnel. Highly recommended.

Shout out to Dr. Kennon!Excellent shoulder surgeon
Dr. Kennon has so many stellar qualities......hard to name them all. He explains everything in terms you can understand, takes his time to make sure your questions are answered, is wicked smart yet humble at the same time. And was able to give me excellent results on what was a seriously fractured shoulder. In my book, he is a rock star!! I give him the highest recommendation! Sue S.

Best shoulder Dr in East TN
I have not had to succumb to surgery for a torn rotator cuff and torn bicep for a few years now. I see Dr. Kennon about every 13 months or so for a cortisone injection. He advised me to stick with the cortisone as long as it was receiving the pain for year or longer. I respect that he will do what he can to help me to avoid surgery as long as possible! I typically find it difficult to trust Dr's that are quick to start cutting. I highly recommend Dr. Kennon to anyone who is struggling with shoulder pain.

New Patient
I have been under Dr. Kennan’s care for several months, utilizing surgery alternatives. I am very impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and personable touch. It’s like you are the only patient at an appointment that matters with no rush to decisions. My shoulder issue has worsened, so I have elected for surgery. His explanation plus the success rate are comforting factors. I trust his skill and think his caring makes it a no brainer. I appreciate his staff also for their friendliness and help. It is a blessing to have been referred by my oncologist.
