Dr. Apyan is the best orthopedic surgeon in Chattanooga. He has taken care of me for the past 8 years. He listens to all of my concerns and explains things clearly. He is very conservative and does not jump right into surgery. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

A good experience. Staff was great, friendly and considerate. Dr. Listens well, answers all concerns and makes you feel like you matter, not just a other case.

Dr Apyan is a great Orthopedic Surgeon. He did my hip replacement and he did a wonderful job. He really listened to my concerns and explained exactly what to expect. I recommend him highly to anyone needing his specialized treatment. He keep me out of pain after the surgery and was very attentive to any needs I had. He also has a great sense of humor, something that very much put me at ease when I was experiencing a bit of fear before the surgery. I love the man, plain and simple and would not hesitate one bit if I have to have more surgeries!!

Dr. Apyan operated on my Mom after she fell and broke her ankle. She had an excellent outcome. He was professional and courteous and had a really nice bedside manner. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Apyan did a total hip replacement for me in 1997 and did a total knee replacement in 2008. He is very professional, highly skilled and excellent patient care. Would not consider any other surgeon for similar surgeries.
