Nashville Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center has recently partnered with AMP Recover to provide our patients an online tool for rehab management. Many of our patients are not local, and we rely on other physical therapists throughout the world to guide their progressions.
AMP provides a platform for the patient, local treating therapist, and Nashville Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center therapist to communicate and monitor the patient's progress throughout the rehab process.We can remotely progress exercises throughout each rehab phase and patients can let us know how they are doing with specific exercises as well as send us direct, HIPPA secure messages with questions or progress updates.

Had an appointment for 6:30am and got a few email reminders to be here 30 minutes early to fill out paperwork. Got here at 6am and they weren’t even open. Staff arrived around 6:30 (time of our appointment) and we just sat for about 10 minutes. Finally I asked about paperwork to fill out and they said they would get it once they pulled her chart out? I know doctors offices sometimes run late with patients but we were the only ones here and I hate having my time wasted.
Update* I posted this review some time ago and really wish I could leave a better experience but unlike a lot of people here

I have recently been under the car of Dr. Brown and I just want to say this entire office is professional, clean, and really cares about their patients. My overall experience has been really good. I’m kind of “princess/scared” of a patient and I don’t mean to be that way, but they dealt with me so well, we’re kind, and always explained everything so thoroughly. Very knowledgeable in their field, you can just tell by the way they work.

I would say if 4 & 1/2 stars. Expectation can dampen a first impression. I made an appointed to see Dr. Bryd for basically a 2nd opinion with possible surgical options, if needed. This place definitely has their own way of doing things, which I can see after the fact is pretty efficient and thorough. When I drove 3 hrs, booked a hotel stay and was told I had a whole day ahead of me, I was a little upset to know I wasn’t seeing the MD (again it was never clear to me I wouldn’t see him). I was told I would see NP first, get an MRI and have a full day there. Besides the first initial shock that

I can't say enough about how excellent Nashville Hip Institute is, my daughter and I both had hip surgery this summer. Each person in the office is awesome. Tesa at the front has always taken time to answer questions and find appointments that work for us both since we travel several hours to get there. Ashley and Kay are the best nurses and have handled so many of our needs and questions quickly and thoroughly. Beth is an awesome Nurse Practitioner who is very skilled at her job! Beth preformed multiple diagnostic injections by ultrasound on myself and my daughter. One of her injections alleviated

I had hip surgery with Dr. Byrd 2 years ago for a traumatic detachment of my gluteus medius/abductor. I am 100% healed, at 100% strength in my hip-and feel that in fact my operated hip is the only part of my body that DOESN'T hurt. Beth Bardowski treated me conservatively for a year and she is, hands down, the most amazing practitioner with sonographic evaluation and treatment of the hip in the US-probably world wide. Her knowledge and skill is unparalleled, as is Dr. Byrd's surgical capabilities. And importantly, as a hip surgeon myself, I can say that the therapy group at NSMOC is owed a great

I just recently had Hip Arthroscopy and Dr. Byrd and his team are wonderful! He has amazing bedside manners and gives his undivided attention to all of your concerns. He was very informative and made the process of making a decision on surgery much easier. The staff at Nashville Hip Institute are very nice as well! I would definitely recommend!

Wonderful experience at the Nashville Hip Institute. Just had my final post-op visit. I have the highest praise for all working here. Dr Byrd is excellent. He has a super office staff(Ashley and Kay were most helpful). Big thanks to Ashley and Ben with PT. Had so many questions after surgery and they answered in a professional and timely manner, those in person or via email as I live six hours away. Thanks to the surgical outpatient staff at St Thomas for making surgery day a breeze. My husband and greatly appreciate all you did that day. My entire experience with the Nashville Hip Institute has

The Nashville Hip Institute is a professional medical office you can trust with your health. Dr. Byrd and his head nurse are very personable and caring. There seems to be some issues with communication between nurses, scheduling and PT when it comes to communicating with patients. After our first visit, we were told one future plan by one nurse, but then never heard back until I called and e-mailed repeatedly. Communication and follow-ups with patients could be improved.

I have been going to Nashville Hip for over a year now. My first day there I was so scared, but now, I walk in knowing that I will be surrounded by love and guidance. EVERYONE is amazing. From the moment I walk in the door, I feel so loved. Shannon always greets me by name and gets me checked in. Then either Ashley or Casey will call me back to the physical therapy clinic. I could not have gotten through the past year without Ashley and Casey. They are THE best. They both work so hard to give me the best treatment possible. I can dance on a competition team because of them. They are my physical

I was and continue to be extremely impressed and pleased with Nashville Hip Institute. Four years ago I was diagnosed with a labral tear in my right hip and had surgery performed by a doctor in the city in which I live in. This surgery was not successful and I was referred to Dr. Byrd. Dr. Byrd and his team are simply amazing. They all truly care about their patients.
The day of the consult is long but extremely thorough. I had x-rays done, was sent for an MRI, saw a physical therapist, and then met with Dr. Byrd. Everyone worked as a team and had their reports and recommendations ready for Dr
