Dr arms did surgery on my foot in Woodbury tennessee since the hospitals in mcminnville wouldn't let him. During the surgery process he negligently broke my big toe bone and inserted a screw but did not fuse it to a bone so it eventually caused me trouble . He put a pin in the arch of my foot and he wasn't suppose to be done . Was suppose repair Hammett toes but didn't do that . I put my trust in him and I feel he should be made to compensate me for my pain and suffering . His negligence has taken my quality of life away . Lost my job , had to get in disability for way less money and I'm struggling . Hue told me after 3-4 months there was nothing he could do for me cause I was a smoker. I was forced to go to another dr who tried to repair what he had done to my foot and was told that I was lucky my foot had not been amputated . The screw was removed but the condition of my foot had deteriorated so bad that nothing else could be done . I would not take a dog to him . Beware people .

Dr. Arms is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled doctor. I was in a motor vehicle accident, and after the accident my knee kept hurting very badly, but I did not know why. Dr. Arms told me my knee impacted the dashboard during the impact, but I had no memory of hitting my knee in the dash. I was skeptical, so I looked under the dash to look for any evidence of my knee hitting the dash, and lo and behold, there was the impression of my knee in the dash, where it had hit the dash during the impact. All I could think was "Wow, what a doctor!" Dr. Arms is an excellent doctor. I recommend him highly!
