“Doctor charming to talk with. He listened and took notes, as I explained my symptoms. He gave me feedback when I finished telling him my symptoms. He recommended a dosage change, in a medication that I had been taking, per his request. Excellent bedside manners.”
“Surgery went very well. I could walk straight three hours after surgery. The nurse gave me an A+ on mobility. I could also reach down and touch my toes which I hadn’t been able to do in 50 years. ”

“Dr. Brashear has replaced both my right and left hips. Both experiences were just excellent. I followed the instructions for exercise before and after the surgery and walked as much as I could after both operations. I went home with a walker, which I used for four days. Then I used a cane for eight days, and then I was walking without any assistance. The pain from the hip was gone immediately! Recovery from the illness of the incision was achieved in just a couple of days. I used the pain meds for three days. The technique Dr. Brashear uses is fabulous! You're up and walking immediately following surgery. There's no rehab to go to, other than walking! Anytime, I hear anyone talking about a hip replacement I tell them about Dr. Brashear. My surgery was in March; I was driving the next week; I spread 30 bags of mulch in my flower beds in April. I'm just happy and thrilled to have my mobility back! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
“Dr. Brashear is wonderful. Best orthopedic surgeon in Johnson City, TN.”
“My experience with Appalachian Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Phillips has been very positive. Dr. Phillips has been prompt, friendly and patient to listen to my questions and concerns. He has been very clear and honest in explaining my treatment options, making me feel confident that my treatment choices are the best for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Phillips and Appalachian Orthopaedic Associates to anyone seeking orthopedic care.”
“He was wonderful and the very best!!! ”
“Dr. Whitman is a caring doctor who gives you time to ask questions and takes the time to answer them.”
“I have had three joint replacements with Appalachian Orthopaedics Associates. I had two total knees with Dr. Lisle Whitman. I have been delighted with the results and how it has improved my mobility and quality of life. My third procedure was the replacement of my left shoulder. Dr. Hommel was my surgeon. That was also a success. I would recommend Appalachian Orthopaedics Associates, and the professional and caring staff, to anyone that is considering joint replacement surgery.”
“Dr. Brashear was very compassionate when he examined me in the office and saw how much pain I was in. His concern continued throughout my hospital stay, surgery, and follow-up care. I had confidence in his expertise regarding my care and surgery as I had this same injury to my left hip and surgery he performed previously.”
