Dr. Mark Sean Sumida, MD

Fell and had a bad break in my left arm. Dr. Sumida was able to operate and repair it. Had some discomfort, but no pain. His excellent surgical talent and his smooth, customer service visits make him #1 in my book. Will always be grateful he was recommended to me. Top-notch surgeon with an excellent team behind him.

Have had several ortho issues and have seen Dr. Sumida for solution. Never wait long for appointment, he explains his findings in a caring and complete manner, suggesting a solution to the problem thoroughly. Trust him with all ortho needs.

I have had much experience in the last 21 years with Dr. Sumida - foot/heel; both elbows, right shoulder. In 1998, I was not sure I would ever walk normal again, but thanks to Dr. Sumida I was able to make a complete recovery!!!

I hurt my foot in a car accident. It took several weeks before I was sent to Dr Sumida, but he recognized my problem quickly. He was a very through, conscientious sergon. I’m able to go about my life without pain. Thanks

I have been a patient of Dr Sumida for over 20 years. He has performed 2 knee surgeries; one on each knee. 2 Rotator Cuff surgeries; one on each shoulder. He also repaired a bad fracture in my left wrist that happened as I was jogging. Dr. Sumida is a very compassionate and thorough physician and is also considered by me as a friend. I recommend him to any of my friends who need Orthopedic intervention.

I’m not quite sure how to satisfactorily thank Dr. Sumida for relieving the pain in my ankle. I “really” forgot how it felt to walk without burning pain. The surgery results have boosted my daily outlook on life. Prior to the surgery, I envisioned my remaining days limited to light walks with extreme pain. One and a half years after the surgery, I take extensive walks / hikes with little to no ankle pain—gaining strength and confidence daily, while increasing my physical activity. I may even be able to run again some day if I choose. How do I say thank you to Dr. Sumida for giving me back my love of physical activity? Thank you Dr. Sumida! Chad Chung

I call Dr. Sumida my miracle doctor. He always get to the bottom of pain without guessing and follow up with prompt treatment. He doesn't want anyone to be in pain. He treated my husband who had a bone in his leg almost destroyed by cancer and today is even better that original. That is just one of many miracles he has performed for us. I thank God every day for this wonderful doctor who treat you like family and not a number on a chart.

Dr. Sumida is very professional and really does a great job of being thorough and kind. Unfortunately their is a skinny lady behind the desk who has a God complex. How dare you ask a question and getting information from her is like pulling teeth. She is very short with you and doesn't want you to know any more than the few words she is willing to share. I would not let this stop you from receiving care from the best orthopedic surgeon in the area.

Dr. Sumida and his staff are very professionial and competant. We feel extremely blessed that we were referred to him. Dr. Sumida reconstructed my daughter's foot and while she was in surgery, his nurse called us frequently in the waiting room and gave us updates, reassuring us that the surgery was going well. His staff has followed up with my daughter after surgery. I have been extremely impressed with his office and would highly recommend Dr. Sumida!

I recently fell and broke several bones in my left foot and needed reconstructive surgery. I am so thankful that the ER doctor referred me to Dr. Sumida! I have been to all kinds of doctors (due to unrelated illnesses) so I was a bit disenchanted by my past experiences. This was such a traumatic and life altering injury (I can't be on my feet for up to 8 weeks) I was terrified and shocked. Not to mention I recently divorce and learned that I was no longer covered on my insurance. After being in the ER and learning of the extent of my injuries, I was devastated. Luckily, the kind staff at Dr. Sumida's office saw my X-ray and learned of my situation via the ER doctor, and they made arrangements to see me immediately. First, upon entering the door at the office...I was greeted by name. I mean, they said "Hello, Dani. We are so glad to have you here." I am sure they could all see the shock on my face...everyone was so sweet up front and check in was fast. I only had to wait a few minutes to be seen. If i gave you a play by play of my experience with them, this would be too long. All I can say is that the doctor and staff emit such kindness and equal parts professionalism, and they have restored my faith in the medical world and in people in general! The day of my surgery the professionalism and care continued. I happy to report that my surgery was a success! I am only a few days post op but I feel so much better already! They put me back together! I was so happy with my experience I had to send them a card...and it went a little something like this.... Dr. Sumida and Staff, Thank you so much for all you and your staff have done for me! Everyone at the office took what was a scary situation for me and totally turned it around. I feel so blessed that God guided me into your office. It almost sees surreal that there are still such caring people in this world. I could thank you a though time and it wouldn't be enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking such great care of me

From the moment that my husband and I walked into your office, despite the shock and extent of the ankle injury and what needed to be done, we left feeling and knowing that I was in the hands of the very best surgeon. You were understanding of our fears and concerns. Your words, medicial and surgical information, and manner conveyed to us such a feeling of peace and confidence. We knew everything was going to be fine. Not to mention that at every turn during these last many months office staff and health care professionals have re-confirmed that I was under the care of the very best there is. I am delighted to be able to participate once again in the interests and activities I love so much and be active once again. The kayak comes out this weekend! I shall never be anything but incredibly grateful that I was forunate enough to have you as my surgeon! Thank you so much!

Just scanning some reviews of Dr Sumida, and noticed the very disappointed one form 2007...I truly wish I could contact this person and inquire as to why the heck they would consider seeking an orthopedic surgeon for a soft tissue lesion...and I quote: My wife had an unknown, fast growing, bleeding ulcer beside her nose and became worried. Called Sumida office and even visited the office to get an appointment. It would appear you have reviewed the wrong doctor, or you are an idiot...or both..sorry, but it is irritating that it can be so easy to blast a doctor so easily on these websites, without any basis....Dr. Sumida has treated my wife with tremensous care and compassion every time...

When I moved to TN 8 yrs. ago, I needed shoulder surgery and did not have an orthopaedic doctor. Dr. Sumida was recommended to me.Since that time, Dr. Sumida has operated on my toe, knee and right shoulder. The surgeries have ALL been successful.I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sumida to anyone in need of orthopaedic care. He is very professional while taking time to fully explain the patient's condition and future care processes in terms that can be fully understood.At all times, Dr. Sumida takes a very conservative approach in the best interest of his patien's health and condition.I am so thankful that Dr. Sumida has continued to enhance my quality of life.

I have never had such a pleasant experience as I did in Dr. Sumida's office. My college age son injured his wrist. When we arrived at the office, the staff was so friendly. They assured me that we would make sure everything was taken care of before we left that day. Dr. Sumida was not rushed in his decision making. He was consertive in his treatment and made sure I understood the treatment plan. The staff appeared not only competent but enjoying working in the office and together. Just a completely different experience than a stuffy dr visit. Thanks Dr. Sumida and staff..for taking care of my son and of me!

His heart is definitely for his patients!

Excellent surgeon with excellent bedside manner. Spends ample time explaining injury, procedure and healing time. Would definitely use again!
