At the same time, we are actively engaged in improving the system in which this care is delivered. Through remodeling the system, we are able to provide better quality, a better experience, a better price point and, most importantly, better outcomes than our less focused competition.

What sets
us apart?

TJS is unique. Most orthopedic surgery practices are a mixed bag of surgeons with different areas of focus. Despite the fact that these surgeons are trained in other specialties like general orthopaedics, sport medicine, foot and ankle surgery, and orthopaedic trauma surgery, many of these surgeons “dabble” in hip and knee replacement surgery. Research data clearly shows that patients who have hip or knee replacement surgery with surgeons who don’t focus exclusively on these surgeries do worse.
Total Joint Specialists is built on a simple idea:
“do one thing and do it really well”.

Our Story

Total Joint Specialists (aka “TJS” ) was formed by a highly experienced and innovative group of Atlanta area orthopedic surgeons with a shared exclusive focus on hip and knee replacement surgery. Driven by a desire to improve the patient experience, they set out to create a unique sanctuary for patients seeking relief from the pain and loss of mobility associated with hip and knee arthritis. Originally founded in 2018 as Arthritis and Total Joint Specialists, our group is relatively new but our surgeons are not. Having performed over 100,000 hip and knee replacements, the surgeons at TJS are among the most experienced joint replacement surgeons in the US. In 2022, we condensed our name to Total Joint Specialists to highlight our exclusive focus on total joint replacement surgery for the hip and knee. Each TJS surgeon has specialized training and limits their practice to hip and knee replacement. Total Joint Specialists is known for excellence, earning trust from patients, families and friends of patients, and referring physicians. Our unparalleled focus and experience with these surgeries results in superior outcomes and safety. We serve patients in Acworth, Alpharetta, Braselton, Canton, Crabapple, Cumming, Ellijay, Gainesville, Lawrenceville, Midtown (Atlanta), Sandy Springs, Snellville, and Woodstock, Georgia.
