Patient Reviews
The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Tonne.
“I felt calm and relaxed before and after the procedure. Dr. Tonne and staff were extremely helpful in helping me stay calm and not uneasy just before surgery.”
– Sandra M.
“Great experience with Dr. Tonne and Sevierville staff before and after surgery. I felt they had my best interest at heart. The hospital (UT) was also excellent. The experience was more intense than I had expected but turned out well. I'm not as happy with the outside therapists St Luke’s in Sevierville. I always saw a different therapist every time I went (3 times a week) and feel like they did not push me enough. I made more progress with therapy on my own. As a side benefit, I have lost 50 pounds since surgery because of my exercise program to rehab my knee.”
– Michael L.
“Dr. Tonne and his associate did a great job on my broken leg and arm. He told me exactly what I could and could not do to help the healing process, and I did everything he said and got out of the air boot about a week earlier than expected and am doing great now. He put in plates and screws and pins in both the right leg and left arm. I would recommend Dr. Brian Tonne and his staff to anyone who needs surgery.”
– Josephine O.
“Dr. Tonne was professional in every way, but the staff from intake through hospitalization to follow-up care are lovely, unbelievably beautiful.”
– Edward O.

“Remarkable skill -- somehow managed to salvage a hopelessly fractured distal femur intruding into the total knee replacement done a year earlier.”
– Cary H.
“Very precise and professional. Discussed my situation and then explained the course of treatment.”
– Rita M.
“This was my first experience with Dr. Tonne. He was very personable. It is obvious he cares about his patients. Dr. Tonne clearly explained and mapped out the procedure with me, and he continually asked if I had any questions. It was clear my understanding was essential to him.
I look forward to the follow-up visits and any future proceedings that might arise. My thanks to Dr. Tonne and his Team.”
– Rick R.
“Great visit. Took the time to explain every issue/problem I had with my knee as well as surgical options available to correct it.”
– William U.
“Had left hip replaced previously. Right hip replaced January. The doctor was great, and the surgery went great. Very Happy with Both, Thanks!”
– Kenneth K.
“I could not have had a better experience! I was sent to another doctor who said I need a particular doctor, for my type of injury. We found Dr. Tonne. Dr Tonne said my break was the worst he had seen up to that time. He and his staff were great from beginning to end of my journey, from the surgery to full recovery. I am so blessed to have had such a wonderful Doctor. I highly recommend him and his staff. Thank you again!”
– Rebecca C.
“Very professional. Great advice regarding knee issues. After the first knee replacement, I wanted Dr. Tonne to be my surgeon for the second. Highly recommend Dr. Tonne and the entire team at University Orthopedic Surgeons that make these mini-miracles possible.”
– Edward O.
“One of the most professional surgeons and Doctors I have ever dealt with. I am blessed to have had him do both of my surgeries. His PA, David saw me when I was in the Hospital shortly after the operation from an unrelated issue and Checked my progress there.”
– Robert V.
“I am very impressed with Dr. Tonne. Also, I am impressed with University Orthopedic Surgeons and our way I was treated.”
– Mildred B.
“My first experience with Dr. Tonne was in the trauma unit in after an accident. In September this year, a complete hip replacement was required. My recovery from this has been very good. I still have a lot of pain in the back.”
– Charles R.
“Dr. Tonne was very pleasant. He explained the options clearly, including the surgery and what to expect after surgery. He answered all questions clearly and gave reasoning behind each option. I feel very comfortable moving ahead with the surgery. I would recommend him to others.”
– Patricia S.
“My experience with Dr. Tonne was good.”
– Larry B.
“Dr. Tonne is very knowledgeable. He determined what was best for me based on my expression of what I wanted to do exercise-wise. He listened to what I needed. He has a great bedside manner and is willing to answer any questions. He made me comfortable, which made deciding to move forward easy. I will be having a partial knee replacement with Dr. Tonne. He is a great doctor.”
– Timothy L.
