My son was seen by Dr. Lovejoy for surgery after a sprain and seeing a Knoxville specialist multiple times telling him it was just a sprain! Dr. Lovejoy was able to repair my son’s ankle by improving his mobility and taking away his pain! Thank you, Dr. Lovejoy! Highly recommended!

Dr. Lovejoy is amazing. My son was born with club foot, it was bad. We knew during the pregnancy that this was certain. We worked with Dr. Lovejoy before he was born to discuss options. He explained everything so well. My son is 9 now. He had to have a lot of surgeries and castings and braces but thanks to all the knowledge and hard work from this staff my son can do everything!! Thank you so much for making my sons life so much better.

I can’t imagine any other Dr working on my daughter! We did read reviews about the man because we live 3 hours from the hospital. He took time to answer any and all questions we had. Very complete explanation on every level. Very good with kids! In fact our daughter was looking forward to surgery with him to get her hardware and cast removed. I highly recommend this dr and would be proud to let him work on anyone in my family.

My daughter has been seeing Dr Lovejoy for four years now due to clubfoot. He misdiagnosed how severe it actually was because he never took x-rays until right before her surgery when she was THREE. If I knew then what I know now my daughter might not be almost 5 and about to undergo bone transfer surgery. We now go to a doctor in a different state and the difference is unreal. He actually knows what he is talking about. Dr Lovejoy might be great with other things but NOT CLUBFOOT! TAKE YOUR NEWBORN ELSEWHERE!
