Our Story

Keeping You Active - A History of West Tennessee Bone & Joint Clinic

Orthopedic surgery was much different more than 40 years ago when Dr. Lowell Stonecipher opened West Tennessee Bone & Joint Clinic, P.C.

Major bone fractures were treated for weeks in traction or for months in heavy plaster casts. Surgery often resulted in long hospital stays. Arthroscopy, MRI and same-day surgery were inconceivable.

“Ninety-nine percent of what I do today has changed from when I started,” said Dr. David Johnson, who began his career at West Tennessee Bone & Joint Clinic in 1987.
