We moved here from Gainesville, Fl, and I used The Orthopedic Institute. The surgeon that I was referred to, did not agree with surgery, in fact, suggested an injection (this was for my elbow). I did not want cortizon..this was another type of shot that, at the time, wasn't covered by insurance, but only $60 a pop (pardon the pun), and it was expected that I would need a maximum of 3 shots. It only took one, and, in the end, insurance paid for it. My dr is still there, but no longer a surgeon, but I highly recommend that group. It's about 1:15 -1:30 drive, but well worth it, IMO. I am having a different issue now, and am still going to that facility. I was properly diagnosed down here, but incorrect treatment at two places here.
