Dr. Jenkins is an orthopedist in whom I have complete confidence. Since March of 2022, he has performed three surgeries for me…two reverse total shoulder replacements and one total knee replacement. Therefore, when I say Dr. Jenkins is an outstanding surgeon, please trust me, because I know he is. I have had no problems with any of the three surgeries. The third one was done March 13, 2025, so I am just a few days out; however, I am doing really well. Dr. Jenkins is a compassionate, caring, and highly skilled surgeon. I recommend him for any orthopedic problems and feel very blessed that he is my orthopedist.

Will never go back. He was in the room less that 2 minutes and didn't listen to anything I said. Squeezed my elbow and said "does this hurt"? After I yelled he said "I see this all the time it's tendonitis, we will give you a shot." I walked out because I knew that would not help, if he would have listened, I told him that I had one before. I went to Knoxville Orthopedic and a MRI later, found a large tear in the tendon. Having surgery next week by someone who knows what they are doing!!
