Frequently asked questions
The SportOrtho Difference
What is SportOrtho?
SportOrtho is a comprehensive orthopedic practice for muscle, bone, and joint problems. Same-day orthopedic urgent care, sports medicine, physical therapy, and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons all sit in one practice, so a diagnosis and its treatment do not require starting over somewhere else.
Do I need to make an appointment?
Appointments are not necessary. You can walk into any clinic location, but scheduling in advance can help reduce your overall visit time.
Why urgent care?
Urgent care reflects immediate access. SportOrtho clinics provide a convenient option for prompt orthopedic treatment without long waits.
Will I need surgery?
Many orthopedic problems improve with physical therapy, medication, or injections, and that is often where treatment starts. When surgery is the right option, our orthopedic surgeons provide a clear, coordinated plan rather than a referral elsewhere. The goal is the right treatment for your condition — not avoiding any one of them.

Dr. Charles Kaelin and his team are the best! They have taken care of me and numerous family and friends over the years. Very professional and efficient.
5 out of 5 stars
I have been seeing Dr. Kaelin and his staff for many years and they always do an exceptional job of listening, assessing and providing a treatment plan for a speedy recovery! They have the right equipment, x-ray and MRI right there for easy access to facilitate diagnosis and treatment. You will be hard pressed to find a higher level of experience coupled with compassion and concern than you will find with Dr. Kaelin and his staff! Sport Ortho Urgent Care is the right place, the best place, for your orthopedic needs.

Dr. Kaelin is the best. I trust him with all my orthopedic care. He is kind and attentive. Always shows concern and gives great options to get you on the healing track or in my case I ask him to keep me functional with my injury and pain levels. He is always honest with me and about my condition and what to expect. He cares both about me and my family. He is an absolute amazing doctor, person and amazing human being. I would not want to see any one else for my care. Just wish he still had days in the Clarksville office. Thank you Dr Kaelin for caring so much about me and my care. God bless.

I cannot recommend Dr. Kaelin and the team at Sport Ortho in Mount Juliet, TN enough! I have had three successful surgeries with them—two rotator cuff repairs (both left and right shoulders) and a torn meniscus repair in my left knee—and my results have been absolutely flawless. I constantly hear horror stories from people who never fully recovered from their shoulder surgeries, and I always tell them they should have gone to Dr. Kaelin. Beyond their surgical expertise, their post-operative care is top-notch; they checked in on me multiple times during my recovery to ensure I was healing well. That level of compassion means the world to a patient. I will never go anywhere else for orthopedic care! Thank you, Dr. K! Much love! Stacey Woodson, aka Rising Angel®

Sport Ortho and Dr Kaelin have provided excellent care to me and my family. Both me and my wife have received care due to torn rotator cuff tears that require surgery and the treatment and aftercare was exceptional. Would highly recommend Sport Ortho, the entire staff is very thoughtful, well trained and professional. Dr Kaelin and his team are the best.

If you or a member of family needs orthopedic services the Sports Otho Urgent Care in Mount Juliet is the place to go. Dr. Kaelin and his staff go above and beyond in patient care. They are very attentive to your needs and always go that extra mile to ensure your care is top notch. Dr. Kaelin takes time to explain everything that needs to be done. When he gives shots in the knee you don't even feel it!! I would recommend to everyone.

Such a great experience! They got us in next day, took new X-rays which showed a fracture and talked us through the bones and growth plates, answered all of my questions throughly and were so kind and professional through the whole experience. I highly recommend!
