Exclamation University of Florida

It is about an hour's drive to the University of Florida Sports Medicine Institute, affiliated with the University of Florida Medical School in Gainesville, Florida. It is also associated with the famous Shands Hospital, but your injury may not require hospitalization. Generally, the physicians here are teachers at the UF Medical School. (Mine was the Assistant Department head, and he and the Department head did my surgery.)

I cannot recommend the doctor that I had because he is a spine specialist, which is not your need, but you can review the page showing their specialists and select the one you think appropriate.

I confess to being just a bit self-conscious when going into the Sports Medicine facility when the great majority of the other patients appear to be in the age group of University of Florida students, with knee, ankle or foot injuries from playing college sports. But, a lot of them are pretty girls, so I just accept it.
