General
Orthopaedics

Bluegrass Orthopaedics is comprised of Board Certified and Fellowship Trained physicians. The additional Fellowship training our physicians complete allows them to focus on a specific category of orthopaedics or a "sub-specialty," such as total joint replacement, sports medicine, foot and ankle treatment, hand and wrist treatment, and more.

Our highest priority is customer satisfaction and education. Our fellowship-trained physicians have the years of experience and training to help athletes of all ages return to the activities they love. We also offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and advanced imaging at many of our locations in central Kentucky.

Dr. Hunt performed surgery on my ankle back in October. This was my last follow up visit. As with all my visits he took all the time I needed and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. I would recommend Dr. Hunt to anyone. Dr. Hunt performed surgery on my ankle back in October. This was my last follow up visit.

Very good, I was well informed about what was going to happen and what to prepare for. I have not had any issues with the surgery and feel great. Had other issues that the staff (Laura) helped me with and went out of her way to make sure I was taken care of. Would recommend Dr. Christensen to anyone having a hip replacement.

Dr. Harrod was very professional and took time to listen to my concerns. He asked several questions and then explained the nature of the problem with my feet and the course of action that he felt was the best for me.

Dr. Donegan and his staff are the best. Friendly and they truly care about their patients. Best decision I ever made.

I have had one knee replacement done last October and the other one done February 25 and I have done well. But I knew how good he was because he had done my Mom's in 2005 and she never had a bit of trouble either. I am thankful.

I've been seeing Dr. Balthrop for a year now. He is a really good doctor. He listens to what a person says and asks. His answers are direct and to you, not at you.

His answers are direct and to you, not at you. He gives all the information on any procedure that you are concerned with, all the options and if you desire, say no. Be extremely hard to find a better doctor than Dr. John Balthrop.

Excellence all the way around. Dr. Hunt is professional, compassionate, & on time! Nothing worse than waiting -- even in the nicest of waiting rooms. Dr. Hunt & his staff are amazing.

Dr. Huff is calm, cool and collected. He has guided me through two knee surgeries. I highly recommend him.

Really took the time and explained things to me. Have gone to three other doctors about my arthritis in my neck and thumb and carpal tunnel in both my wrists and no one offered a plan to help me. He understood my pain, why it was happening and how to fix it.
