The reviews listed below were collected independently of Florida Orthopaedic Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
He didn't take the time to review the xray with me or hear my concerns about my health. He referred me to therapy and didn't check if I need more testing done.

The reason I gave him a three is because he had no time to see me because he was running behind. Therefore, I don’t with his PA who was kind and funny. Though the office just feels like a mill. People moving fast in and out, and no one really has too much time to chitchat.
