Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics, a leading provider of orthopedic care in Middle Tennessee, is thrilled to announce the opening of a state-of-the-art medical office building in Lebanon. This expansion aims to enhance our orthopedic services for the Lebanon and surrounding communities.

The Lebanon community has long benefited from the expertise of board-certified orthopedic physicians specializing in various orthopedic procedures, including joint replacements and spine surgery.

This spring, Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics will expand its orthopedic services in Lebanon with a new state-of-the-art medical office building at 115 Willard Hagan Drive, Suite 100. The facility will include 32 patient rooms, nearly double the number at the former location. The increase will allow for shorter wait times which will help patients return to their daily schedules more quickly. In addition to on-site imaging and bracing services, the physical therapy and hand therapy teams will continue to deliver the highest level of care, providing comprehensive musculoskeletal treatment conveniently under one roof. Additionally, the newly built surgery center next door will allow patients to undergo outpatient procedures without traveling far.

Lee Pearce, Chief Operating Officer of Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics, echoed the excitement of all the orthopedic surgeons about the expansion, stating they are committed to providing world-class orthopedic services to patients in Lebanon and surrounding communities. Pearce emphasized Hughston Clinic’s dedication to patient care, highlighting the collaboration between specialty-trained orthopedic surgeons and specialized healthcare professionals. This commitment has been the cornerstone of Hughston Clinic’s success for over 77 years.

“We are excited to open our new practice location in Lebanon. This project has been years in the making due to diligently planning each aspect of the patient’s experience to ensure we provide the best possible care for each person. This new office will allow easier access for our patients and will integrate state-of-the-art technology to complement the world-class care our patients can expect from us,” says Dr. Jonathan Cornelius, orthopedic surgeon and President of Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics.

“After more than a decade of caring for the patients and families of this community, I couldn’t be more proud of what we are building together. Our new facility represents a complete transformation in how orthopedic care is delivered locally — bringing together on-site imaging, bracing, physical therapy, and nearly every orthopedic subspecialty under one roof, all connected directly to our state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center. Our patients deserve world-class care close to home, and that is exactly what we intend to deliver — right here in Wilson County,” said Dr. Lucas Richie.

Dr. Jennifer O’Donnell said, “I’m especially looking forward to having a larger space for collaboration across specialties and ultimately to take care of more patients here in the Lebanon area with spine problems!”
