Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This man crippled me
10 years ago Robert Tennant performed a procedure on me, which I came to learn afterwards was, per the literature of the time, only 25-35% effective within the first year and had been largely discontinued in the practice.The revisionist who attempted to correct the damage apologized and informed me that I had been the victim of a hack. The damage caused was too extensive to repair.I regret ever meeting with Robert Tennant. I also regret not pursuing the matter in a different venue.

If there was a 0 I would have chose that. Dr Tennant treated me like I was a last resort and he couldn’t wait to get out to the next patient. Then on my next visit and after I requested an mri, he told me I only had arthritis in my knee for the second time. And prescribed some pills. I had an appt for some alternative medicine. The doctor was shocked that he told me I only had arthritis. I actually have a flap that is pinching in my knee and bone on bone and was referred to a surgeon. The surgeon also said I need to have surgery to either fix the flap or knee replacement. My wife even read the report and it CLEARLY explained all these conditions. Why he chose not to explain these things is beyond me. DO NOT go to this dr. Someone not knowing would have just accepted these results. Luckily my wife has dealt with knee issues and knew something was amiss.

I had a Stem cell & PRP treatment after consultation w Dr Tennant. He was very professional as well as thoughtful. The procedure went smoothly w minimal pain. I walked out on my own steam and am feeling already improved on day 3. I will know more as i progress over the next few weeks. I recommend Dr Tennant highly. Chelsea & Jasmin were also great in the prep and assist.

I've been a patient for many years. I've had meniscus tears, and double knee replacements. Dr. Tennant is an excellent doctor. He is a great listener, has superior orthopedic knowledge and is an excellent surgeon. When doing my right and left knee replacements, he was extremely articulate and precise in his measurements (you don't want one leg longer than the other). I had the procedure done three years ago. I am very happy and delighted with the outcome. Dr. Tennant is a nice person. I hig

The appointment process is a well oiled machine, the front desk is immediately in front of the elevators, the receptionist was kind and helpful. There was hardly a wait before being called for X rays, the tech was also kind and sweet. Had hardly any wait before seeing Dr. Tennant. He was straight and to the point, which I appreciate. This isn't my first go-round with a knee issue, so I really didn't have many questions. The MA was friendly and stressed that she was open to calls.

Worst experience I’ve had at a doctor’s office. Tennant was more than an hour late for the appointment, did five minutes of exam and explanation, then left without asking if I had questions. I had to complain to two people before I got my questions answered. O+F can easily feel like a factory so it’s especially important to find a doc you can trust. I would never see Tennant again.

Dr. Tennant has deep expertise, diagnoses accurately, explains the options clearly, and is an excellent surgeon. He diagnosed and treated my arthritis and then performed a full knee replacement. Yesterday I had my one year post op appointment and am so very glad I found this doctor and replaced my knee. His team is superb - every one of them. He works with an assistant and three Physician Assistants. All of them are caring and compassionate.

I was seen by Dr. Tennant weeks ago. Based on what I know now, I believe I was misdiagnosed. I contacted a colleague of Dr Tennant to request a referral to someone else. I was given 2 names of drs within their same clinic. I called to schedule an appointment and was thwarted at every turn by support staff. I understand clinics have internal procedures, but when those policies become an impediment to a patient receiving the diagnosis and treatment they are seeking, they need to be reviewed.
