Dr. Gautsch Performed the Region’s First Outpatient Knee Replacement

Many patients with shoulder problems also seek Dr. Gautsch’s surgical talents, in particular, he is known for the strength of a unique arthroscopic rotator cuff repair technique that allows a much earlier rehab than standard methods. Dr. Gautsch is an elected member of the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a Joint Replacement Fellow of the National Institutes of Health, and a graduate of both the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the UCLA Departments of Surgery and Orthopedic Surgery with honors. He is a former member of the Orthopaedic Research Society and a lifetime member of the Johns Hopkins Medical and Surgical Society. Dr. Gautsch and his wife, Michele, deliberately moved their growing family from Los Angeles to Gallatin, with a desire to raise their now eight children more slowly and gracefully. He still routinely cares for athletes of all levels, professional, collegiate, and high school, as well as non- and former athletes. For over 20 years he has been a Team Doctor for a number of Middle Tennessee teams.
