Dr. Allen French Anderson CL ASS OF 1968
Fittingly enough, as captain of his varsity football team, Dr. Anderson received the designation “most athletic” as his senior superlative. Following BGA, he attended the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a double major of economics and pre-med. After his undergraduate studies, he went on to earn his MD at UT’s Medical School in Memphis. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Vanderbilt University from 1976-81. Dr. Anderson’s tradition of success did not end with his formal education. After his residency, he began a 37-year career at the Lipscomb clinic which later became TN Orthopedic Alliance. While maintaining a busy private practice, he set aside time for research and education. He published over 100 scientific manuscripts in peer review journals and 26 book chapters. He had 21 scientific exhibits at national and international meetings, numerous national and international presentations and 75 instructional course lectures. Dr. Anderson served in the leadership of many societies including the associate editor of the Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine and The American Journal of Sports Medicine and president of the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM). In 2018, he was inducted into the Society’s Sports Medicine Hall of Fame. He has been recognized with many prestigious awards and designations throughout his career including Nashville Business Journal’s Top Doctor 2014-15. He was also voted to the list of Best Doctors in America by his peers on six separate occasions.

Dr. Anderson passed away in 2017. He is survived by his wife Candy, as well as their three sons and two daughters-in-law: Brian Anderson, David and Laura Anderson and Chris and Jeanna Anderson.
