Prompt and addressed my issues.

I had a very good follow-up appointment with Dr. Bolt after a back injury. He was a good listener and a good explainer. Just a personable guy... unusual for a specialist surgeon.

Dr Bolt is an absolute blessing. He has been my back surgeon for years. I would never trust anyone else with my back other than him. Thank you Dr. Bolt for all you do

Dr Bolt did an excellent job with my recent injections. He explains each part of the procedure as he goes. He is efficient with his time and I know I will be on my way home in a short time. I wanted to add how much I appreciate Ashley Self, she has been such a big help in this process always listening to my concerns and addressing them. They make a wonderful team.

He is so professional, yet acceptable. I would say the same for his assistant. Both take time to listen—really listen. That’s rare.

Dr. Bolt spent considerable time explaining my condition and my options regarding stenosis. He answered all my questions.

I have had only excellent visits with Dr. Bolt. I had an appt for cervical injections; but due to another possible injury, he thoroughly explored my condition and recommended we wait until I had another image. Always thorough and considerate. Actually, I have only had exceptional experiences with him, Ashley Self, NP, Taylor Tapscott, NP, their nurses and the entire staff. Thank you!

Dr. Bolt has been my back surgeon for years and even though I moved almost an hour away, I still do not trust anybody else with my back surgery. Other than him he is an absolute blessing. Thank you for being you Dr. Bolt.

First, my initial info received by email said my visit was at the Ft Sanders office. The morning of my visit my text message said the Parkwest office, so I called to verify and it was at Parkwest, which added more miles and drive time to my already 35 mile commute. They emailed my paperwork (8 pages) of which I filled out before my arrival, only to be given 3 more pages to fill out and the first one said I "refused to answer" what my "Race" was...which I HAD in fact answered.???????? The only parking available was a quarter of a mile away from the building and the walk uphill, no parking lot transportation. The registration was very confusing. There were 3 registration desks when you walk in the door, one in the center and one in each corner. No visible way of knowing which one was for which doctor until you approached the counter. I scheduled the appointment so I could see the actual doctor, it was the first appointment available for him (the earlier one available was to see his PA). Needless to say, the PA was the one they sent in to see me (which she was very nice) and after she finished she said the doctor would come in. Instead the nurse came in and told me I was "good to go". I told her the PA said the doctor was coming in, that is why she left my x-rays up on the computer. She looked at her paperwork again and said "oh, your right". I waited another 20 minutes for the doctor to come in...he was in and out in 5 or less. My total time from my appt time until the time I exited the office was 1 hour & 45 minutes. Also, when they took me to x-ray, it took 3 techs 5-8 minutes, while I stood in the position they wanted me to, to figure out how to take the x-rays. They said "sorry, we don't do these scans often.???? Not as smooth as the office I am used to, but my doctor retired.

Great Dr

Dr Bolt is a great doctor he cares about my healing and getting back to living thank you Dr bolt you're a blessing, Tamala Combs

Dr. Bolt and his team was extremely professional. He was very patient in explaining the necessary prep work prior to my MRI. At no point did I feel, as if, another patient getting ushered through the system. I highly recommend Dr. Bolt and his staff.

I have been seeing Dr. Bolt for a neck injury. He listens and includes your input in your healthcare. He is friendly and caring. To me that is a win win!

Dr. Bolt is a great doctor. It says alot when you have worked in Neuro and Otho for 28yrs in surgery and he is the one you go to when you have hurt your back. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Excellent care. Highly recommended by family and business associates. Guided me through my care and gave compassionate care when I was in worst pain that I have ever experienced.

The Nurse Practitioner was thorough and competent. The xray tech had to reshoot several times and the follow up was less than stellar. I requested diagnostic testing at one facility and the admin called to schedule at another, oblivious of the request. Poor communications.

He has taken care of me for several years. He is a caring and wonderful person. He tells it like it is. I like that.

Dr. Bolt helped me and was very thorough about my recovery and what my options were for my future rehabilitation. I'll continue seeing him for my back problems. He and Ashley were very professional and listened to what I was saying about my back problems. Highly recommend.

Always had a good experience at Dr. Bolt's office, from check in to departure. Dr. Bolt and his nurse have always taken the time to explain procedures and possible outcomes. Overall good experience.

I’ve been seeing Dr Bolt for several years, and prior to that he saw my mother. Both of us have had similar problems with our backs. Dr Bolt takes time to explain issues and treatment options, is never pushy about surgery, and presents a compassionate yet professional manner each visit.

Took time to explain in detail my back problem.

Very very professional and some of nicest friendly people that I have ever dealt with Thank you Dr Bolt I am feeling better right now than I have in three years

Dr. Bolt done surgery on my back a few years ago and I could tell it was better five minutes after I woke up from the surgery now he's working with my neck and doing a very good job I really like doctor bolt and his assistant Ashley

When dealing with other doctors in the practice I have had great success for my various injuries and ailments. Dealing with Dr Bolt regarding my very complex spinal history is traumatizing to say the least. He looked at my chart, saw I’m a short, overweight stay at home parent and assumed I was sitting on the couch eating bonbons all day. He told me to change my diet to lose weight and my back would feel better. We didn’t discuss the nerve pain that came back after last year’s imaging (same nerve pain as I had when I had a tumor on my spine). We didn’t discuss the curve on my last imaging that appeared to be scoliosis, we didn’t discuss the disk degeneration or bone spurs all down my spine. He just assumed I was fat and lazy. I got incredibly upset that he made assumptions instead of asking about all my dietary restrictions and physical activities and in my anger I blew up on him for assuming my diet was poor because I was a larger woman. He discussed crash dieting that I can’t do because it affects my other health issues if he bothered to even ask about them instead of assuming they were all related to my weight. He told me my pain would go away if I just believe it would go away. He said sorry for “triggering” me instead of saying sorry for his horrible assumptions of my lifestyle. So he didn’t even take responsibility for his actions. I am already seeking out another spine doctor that will take my health conditions more seriously as I live a very active lifestyle and would like a doctor who can help me stay healthy while I stay active. Sadly, in my search for another doctor I have already found other woman he has said similar things to. I would never recommend this misogynistic judgmental excuse for a doctor to anyone. The rest of the doctors in this practice that I have worked with have been fantastic. Unfortunately, the practice has to be dragged down with reviews like this because I won’t stand for mistreatment of a patient because he cannot accept what he does not understand.

Dr. Bolt has always helped me.

Always professional and always caring, a rare combination.

Dr. Bolt did surgery on my back on December 10 2020, and released me on May 16, 2022. I have had tremendous success with my surgery.

Great Dr. and Staff

This was my first appointment with Dr. Bolt and I'm glad I went. Dr. Bolt was very friendly and courteous as was his staff. Dr. Bolt explained everything so well, listens and answered every question that I had. Highly recommend!

Upfront, honest and has my best interest in mind. Wish all caregivers were like Dr. Bolt.

Awesome Dr. Really cares about the patient and takes time to talk about the issue

Did not have any procedures, just a consultation. However, i definitely would go back to this provider if I needed treatment Very informative, patient and kind.

Awesome care. Great facilities. Honest in every aspect of his prognosis. Over all not just his job which he does great. But also he actually cares about his patients. Doctor Bolt always be my first choice.

Professional, but I’m not use to having wait so long after my appointment time to having procedure done! Especially when I got there 20 minutes before my appointment time!

I have only seen Dr Bolt 3 times, but I was impressed and pleased from the very first visit. He listens and works with you instead of presenting his treatment plan without leeway. Even as a surgeon he doesn’t push surgery as your only option. So glad I found Dr Bolt.

Excellent care

Dr Bolt has always taken his time to explain my condition and options for treatment. I’m extremely happy with him and the TOC staff and facility !

We drove over from Asheville to meet with Dr.Bolt. During our consultation he was incredibly humble, caring, patient and empathetic towards my situation. He took the time to explain my condition and educated me on my health journey going forward. I met with other surgeons regarding my condition but have always felt persuaded instead of empowered, about my treatment plan. I highly recommend Dr. Bolt.

Dr.Bolt definitely cares and listens to his patients and takes the best path towards healing.

Dr bolt is awesome he has help me with my back issues to help me with the pain I deal with I would highly recommend him if your having back problems great staff an an great doctor

Dr Bolt has treated my spine condition for 12-15 years, while having to have multiple surgeries. He explains thing well. Easy to talk to. I trust his opinion and course of action. That is very important to me, with having disk disease from top to bottom of spine. He sent to Emory in Atlanta, for second opinion, but as I told him I prefer seeing him over Emory.

Dr Bolt explains procedures and answers questions completely. I highly recommend him.

Always excellent care.

Excellent doctor. Always cares to speak to me as long as necessary. Very thorough with options.

I believe Doctor Bolt listens to the patient and regards their input. Dr Bolt believes in a Doctor Patient relationship as a partnership. I couldn’t be any happier with him and Ashley Self as my providers of a competent treatment resource!

Patrick is the man! Knowledgeable and very helpful. Highly recommend.

Dr Bolt took time to listen to my history and then provided a path to getting an answer to the problem and eventual relief.

Dr. Bolt is very professional and always provides me with detailed information and options for treatment. His office staff is very helpful and quick to reply to my needs and requests. I feel fortunate to have them providing care for my needs.

I, Hans Brinke, was very impressed with Dr. Bolt and his associates in their professionalism and knowledge of my back problems. Would highly recommend Dr. Bolt.

Excellent

Dr. Bolt thank you for your expert advice and for helping me with my pain. You are an excellent Doctor and a great friend. God bless.

I worked in healthcare here in Knoxville for 40 years. When I needed help myself, I chose Dr. Patrick Bolt because the physicians I worked with, recommended to me that he was the best orthopedic surgeon/ physician in Knoxville. After Dr.Bolt performed a complicated and concerning surgery on me, I am glad that I can now highly recommend the Tennessee Orthopedic Clinic (TOC) team and my surgeon, Dr. Bolt, especially if you have a spine or back problem. He's the kind of Doctor we hope we get when we have to go for help. He's attentive, friendly, warm. He is sympathetic and he payed attention to my details. He has my highest recommendation. The Nurses and Staff are friendly and competent. They all have my deepest thanks. ???? I worked in healthcare here in Knoxville for 40 years.

I am very happy with my 2 visits with Dr. Bolt--first was a consultation and yesterday was a spinal steroid injection to ease my 5 month back pain. He was attentive to my concerns at the first visit and was skillful administering the spinal injection yesterday--relatively little pain, more of a feeling of pressure. Just one day and I feel so much better!

Thank you Dr.Bolt I truly appreciate you everybody is so nice and friendly at the office I would recommend you to anybody that needs your service and also thank you to the staff for being so nice and friendly.

Dr. Bolt and his staff did a great job explaining what the issue is and what we could do to correct it. Seemed very knowledgeable and concerned on how and what I need to do going forward.

Dr. Bolt has given me great care in treating my back issues. He listened to my description of my painful problems and made wise recommendations for treatment.

Dr. Bolt and his staff are top notch. I highly recommend them if you are having orthopedic back problems.

He identified the issue when others could not.

Dr Bolt is a very caring individual. He has tried helping me with my back for almost a year now on workman's comp. I would recommend him to anyone!

This was my first visit to Dr. Bolt, and he met and exceeded my expectations! He was both knowledgeable and professional, and he also took time to answer my questions and address my concerns in depth! I would definitely recommend him without reservation!

I felt Dr Bolt has my best interest in mind. He was attentive and listens. I am confident in his ability to help me. He is not knife happy but as a last resort. He explained to me that if I opted to have back surgery he could keep me mobile however it would not stop the pain. I admired him for that statement alone.

Dr Bolt and his staff have been treating me for two years and I feel lucky to have him. The guy knows his stuff and will do what he feels necessary to most benefit you and unlike some doctors he cares about his patients and not how many dollars he can get out of a patient. Dr. Bolt also has a knowledgeable staff at Tennessee Orthopedic and I highly recommend.

For 30+ years I have suffered with back pain. Although my journey with Dr. Bolt has just started so far so good. I'm eager to see the results when I'm finished with physical therapy. I will keep this updated as I progress.

Dr Bolt was excellent in explaining my problems. I really think he will get to the root of my problem I enjoyed meeting him for the first time. Would definitely recommend him.

We were seen a little ahead of our scheduled time. Our procedure and follow up with Dr Bolt was very good. We appreciate all the safety measures taken. The office staff and medical personnel are very friendly and professional. Dr Bolt and NP Ashley Self always take time to patiently answer our questions. Our experiences here are very good. We have complete faith in the medical care given by Dr Bolt and his team.

Dr Bolt checked a previous x-ray I was concerned about, he fully explained the x-ray and we set plans for future.

Dr Bolt is empathetic, caring and straightforward. He makes suggestions and provides options to enable his patients to make the best choices concerning their ortho issues. His team knows how to work with the insurance companies so you only pay what you absolutely have to. I have been under his care for several years and as for me and my spine, we will continue to do so because he is the best in his field.
