Ive never written a review before but after looking up Dr Sumida's phone number for a friend of mine for her son, I saw the negative comments made and had to write my own experience. MY son dislocated his knee in 2003 at football practice and was taken to the local emergency room (we dont live in Chattanooga) we were referred to an orthopedic dr. I chose to call his dr. to ask her who she thought was the best, without hesitation she said Dr Mark Sumida. I called and explained the situation that my son was 13 at the time and needed a consult. We had an appointment less than a week, I was surprised! The staff was very professional and kind to both my son and I. I have 4 children and none had up to this point had ever broken a bone or had stitches before, so I was very anxious and scared for my son possibly having surgery. He explained everything at a level I, as a mother and also to my son could understand and put us both at ease. He told us what would or could happen. Everything went just as he said and my son went on to play middle school and high school football and will graduate next year, his leg is actually stronger than the other one. I have reccomended him to many people and will continue to do so. My children are my life and I trust Dr Sumida with the most precious thing I have and that is one of my children!!! Thank you!!!!\r
