Patient Reviews
The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Eilerman.
“On July 1st, I was in a very traumatic car wreck. I was an emergency drove to Knoxville to have my surgeries performed. Dr. Kostas completed surgery on my left leg, right hip, right pelvis, and right femur. He did an excellent job. Dr. Elierman is just so kind and helpful. He even helped me decide on a hip replacement. Then Dr. Elierman did my hip replacement on September 12th. He was so explanatory on everything that needed to get done. He is always so lovely and ready to answer any questions you may have. He did a fantastic job on my surgery, so now I can have my life back! I recommend either one of these tremendous doctors for anything you need to have done in their field!”

“I was happy and surprised at how quickly I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Eilerman. He was recommended by a friend who had a hip replacement a few years ago. The initial meeting went smoothly from the initial sign in and paperwork, x-rays, seeing Dr. Eilerman, and scheduling an appointment. Dr. Eilerman was very direct and precise in his diagnosis and recommendation. On the day of surgery, everything went as planned, and there were no issues. He talked with my wife after the surgery to update her and answer any questions. Both post-op visits went the same way. He was very polite and answered any questions. I have done exceptionally well and have not had any problems whatsoever. The entire experience with Dr. Eilerman, University Orthopedic Surgeons, and UT hospital has been great. Everyone was so caring, cordial, attentive, professional, and the list could go on. It was an entirely positive experience, and I am telling everyone I can about it. Thank you for giving me back a positive view of healthcare.”

“I have hip replacement surgery coming up this week. Dr, Eilerman found the reason for my long-time pain in the first visit. I had been to numerous doctors for about ten years, and no one could ever help me. My experience with him and his staff have been excellent so far.”
– Donna D.
“Great Doctor and staff!!”

“I came in, expecting to schedule hip replacement surgery very soon, and Dr. Eilerman identified bursitis as my more immediate concern. Dr. Eilerman gave me an injection. The injection gave so much relief that I canceled the 6-week follow-up. He asked thorough questions and also showed interest in my previous experiences in orthopedic surgery. I felt comfortable with him. I am now ready to follow through with scheduling a left hip replacement if he concurs.”

“He was a professional. Very likable. He did a fantastic job on my hip. He understood my problem with Post Polio Syndrome and allowed me to re-cooperate on my terms without therapy, which would have made it so much worse. As it is, I was walking on my own without any help by the end of the 3rd week. Any pain that I had after that time, and any use of a cane, was due to my PPS, and not my hip.”
– Darlene B.
“Dr. EILERMAN has been my Orthopedic physician for over 20 years. He is knowledgeable, professional, thorough and provides understandable information.”
– Linda K.
“I am 48 years old and had my LH hip replaced via the anterior approach. My hip problems started six years earlier as I began to quickly lose several degrees of rotation due to a cam impingement that arose as my cartilage began to deteriorate. It showed up initially during mountain biking. Dr. Eilerman led me through what to expect and answered all my questions. The procedure completed in mid-August. The only complication I had was a fever that I picked up in the hospital. I was up and walking without a cane in a week. Recovery post-op has gone fast. Back to walking, bicycling; and riding my dirt bike. I am happy with the outcome as it has given me the ability to be physically active again and I no longer have to opt out of family activities that would require a lot of walking.”
– David P.
