This place is too busy to help people. I went there over a month ago for back Injury. This was second time of this injury. They told me I needed MRI and would schedule. It’s been a month of me... calling and reaching out to schedule. Not one called me back. MRI VOICEMAIL FULL. If office too busy please let people know. please know to find a new doctor. Just unacceptable for no follow up. Pain for a month. Overall experience bad. Office manger doesn’t even return call. New patients, Please look else where. Don’t waste time for an appointment and wait in waiting room for ever. As well never parking. I don’t like to write reviews. this place needs to understand people see doctors because they need help. Not just a business to get money. Go to another office.read more

Absolutely love the entire administrative staff, nurses, and doctors at south Florida Orthopedic! Everyone is very knowledgeable and friend and even through out the COVID initial stages, I feel their... office handled patients in a very responsible, respectful and caring way. Nurses have the best bed side manner and wouldn’t feel comfortable receiving care from any other group in this medical fieldread more

This review is for the Stuart, FL office.I really can't say how well they do for actually treating something, because their office staff is so bad I can't actually get treated. Their self-pay... (cash paying) system is just broken. There seems to be only one person who handles this, and they don't seem to ever have time to respond.I managed to get in for the initial visit, then I had an MRI done, and I had a follow-up appointment to fix my issue. I needed to know how much money to bring, and the appointment people have no idea, so they transferred me to a voicemail for billing that was full, so I couldn't leave a message. I called back 5 times in one day, sitting in the hold queue for over an hour at one point and no one ever answered, so I left a voicemail in the appointment voicemail.I was called back the next day by someone who said yes the voicemail of the billing person was full, so the billing person would call me back in an hour when they get in, this was 10:30 AM. They said that person was running late because of a flat tire. Well, I never got that call and that was 7 days ago.I missed my appointment because no one ever called me back to tell me how much money I need to bring for the procedure, and of course no one answers the phone, so can't ask. What do they expect? Should I just guess how much it will cost and bring that? What if I bring too little, will they still do it without me having insurance? Will they turn me away, and I wasted my time and lost work time for this? No one knows!Since then I have called repeatedly and left voicemails and no one ever answers the phone or calls me back. I can't even get my MRI results to go somewhere else because it was done at the same facility, and they don't answer the phone. Still, at the time of this writing, I still cannot get in touch with anyone there.I've already cash paid for my first office visit and an MRI, so currently that money is basically just gone since I can't get a follow-up.I don't even expect anyone from there will even bother reading this review. They don't seem to care.read more

I had hip surgery one year ago and I would highly recommend them to anyone. My great doctor was Scott Desman and he is a excellent surgeon.I had absolutely no pain since having my hip replaced.... When I woke after having my surgery my husband asked me what was wrong, and I said I have no pain, I can't believe it. Within five days I was walking with a caneand within 2 weeks I was walking on my own.read more

I really like Dr Jordan of South Florida Orthopedics. I have seen him for arthritis in my knee with great results. Just a few days ago I saw him for pain in my hand, which I thought was more... arthritis, but it turned out to be carpal tunnel. The pain is going away as i follow his treatment plan. I called for an appointment, and got to see him the same day. He communicated clearly and honestly. I am glad he is my doctor.read more

I am so thankful for the South Florida Orthopedics walk-in clinic and staff. They were able to assess, x-ray, diagnose and splint my 3 year old son in under an hour. We are visiting from out of town... and I dreaded having to bring my little one to an urgent care with potential covid + patients. Wish we had this option near us in our home town! Thanks to Ted, Fabrice, and our MA (I can’t remember your name but you were wonderful)! Kind, professional, and courteous front desk staff as well. If I ever have an injured babe or need a bone tended to while visiting Florida again, I will definitely be coming back to South Florida Orthopedics.read more

I found South Florida Orthopaedics online and boy am I glad I did. I broke my Fibula/ankle back in January of 2020 and met with Dr. Romano to go over the next steps. He was very clear and caring and... knew right away what needed to be done. He also suggested therapy at this facility after surgery and what an amazing recovery!! I recommended Dr. Romano for anyone with similar needs, because he's amazing at what he does and can put your trust in him. Milagro Sans Mendozaread more

It has taken me over a decade to find a specialist to help me with my neck issues. Being a professional vocalist and guitarist, my neck issues have sometimes interfered with my performances. Dr... Prasher is a doctor who gave me his time, understanding attention, ear, and kindness. Dr Prasher is helping me manage my pain without treating me like was just a number. I felt like a patient and he has given me hope. The "hope" alone has given me peace of mind which has helped me relax. I feel blessed to have been sent to him. I HIGHLY recommend. Since seeing him I am able to play guitar longer and have to tools to deal with my neck after a long exhausting show.read more

my daughter broke both of her wrists from a bicycle accident and she was lucky enough to get Dr. Moran who performed surgery. Post-op we have been coming to SoFl Ortho and everyone has been so... great, from start to finish. We especially love Dana who is so awesome at her job, and a big thanks to Kelly, RN with always returning my calls quickly and answering my questions. We couldn't be happier even with the challenging events of Covid.read more

The surgery appears to have been sufficient. The administrative staff is comically disorganized and rude. I received several urgent, “you have to do this today” commands, when they could have just... mentioned when we spoke the previous day. Then, I got yelled at for them supposedly having the wrong phone number in their system. I’m not sure how that’s my fault, and it’s especially confusing, given that it was only like that for one person...all others from that office were able to call me with no problems. There was no communication between this office and the surgical center, causing me to have to answer a litany of questions twice instead of once. Next time, it will be worth the drive to go to Jupiter for orthopaedic work.read more

I came to S Fl Orthopedics originally seeing Dr.Breslauer for what was diagnosed as a bruised foot but turned out to be a very serious broken foot. With his treatment, my foot it it is as good as... ever. I currently see Dr. Prather and Dr. Ramos who work together as a team, to treat spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease, that is complicated with arthritis. Without their help I would be in terrible pain every day and unable to function at full capacity. Not only are the doctors exceptional, but the staff is efficient and very friendly. I never wait more than 10 minutes to see the doctor. I commend them especially during the pandemic for the way they managed the patients and kept social distancing but still saw patients in a timely manner. I highly recommend S. Florida Orthopedics and especially the doctors listed above.read more

Excellent care with the doctor and his personal assistant.Check-in and check-out ladies were friendly, courteous, and efficient.The tech that was taking the images was a bit abrupt and not... friendly.I had a previous appointment the week before and waited over an hour in the reception waiting area. I cancelled the appointment because I was not able to sit the area any longer. I understand that doctor offices get backed up, but this was a bit too extreme. I rescheduled an appointment for early morning which was perfect. I was seen promptly with little waiting time. My next appointment I have also scheduled for early morning.read more

Dr. Jordan and his staff are outstanding. It was my second surgery and I didn't realize there were still Doctors that sat down and chatted with you or friendly/efficient nurse staff out there... anymore! These guys stand out - hardcore. They bus you through quick but still take the time to make sure all your questions are answered. On my last visit they gave me an appreciation coin to give to any staff member I felt deserved it. Wild. All of them deserved it. These guys really go above and beyond and I've been recommending them all day every day - especially compared to their in-town competition.read more
