Tennova Ortho, Foot-Ankle Turkey Creek celebrate
It cut the ribbon on Tennova Orthopedics Turkey Creek and Tennova Foot and Ankle Turkey Creek in Physicians Plaza, 10800 Parkside Drive Suite 207 beside Turkey Creek Medical Center, Wednesday, March 12. They actually opened last December.
“This is a culmination of a lot of work that we’ve been doing in the orthopedic space,” said Tony Benton, CEO of Tennova Healthcare East Market. “Our trauma program has been a very important part of our growth recently.
“We’ve seen dramatic growth in those different
areas,” he added. “We really started our orthopedics program with Dr. (Charles Daniel) Benson.
“I always like doctors who push us and we’re not pulling along,” Benton said. “… Dr. Benson really helped to jumpstart our orthopedics program, and this is an evolution of the growth that we’ve seen.”
“We’re very excited about this, not just being a clinic space but also what we’re
doing here from a trauma standpoint, a trauma program,” Benson said. “We think that’s going to be a huge asset to the community.
“Elective orthopedics is also a big space in the Knoxville market,” the doctor added. “There are a lot of people here, and we’re very excited about the team.”
Tennova Orthopedic is led by Tonya DeGuira, senior administrator; Robin Cumbie, director; and Kerry Kirby, office manager.
