Ankle
 
Dr Cedric Tankson is very good. Broke mine in June, had surgery and I am now in the rehab process.

Dr. Scott Goldstein at The Orthopedic Institute. I had a great experience with him, his staff and the rehab department. Highly recommend.

Does anyone have advice
Thank you

Dr Cedric Tankson - Orthopedic Surgeon, took care of my simple broken ankle. However, a neighbor had a severe case, which required extensive surgery and he did a marvelous job. He is a foot & ankle specialist.

Or the doctor that treated the original break? Seems as if he or she would know best just what kind of orthopedic services you would need.

Go to Dr Cook at Advanced Orthopedic in the Sharon Morse building. Excellent surgeon and great team plus a good PT staff

I have been going to the Orthopedic Institute for years. I highly recommend them. They have repaired my shoulder, Achilles, elbow, knee (arthroscopic surgery with Marc Rogers), and broken finger. The fact that they are big and close is just evidence of a good business model. Why would I want to go to somebody small that is far away?

Try Doctor Shannon Floyd
 
Dr. Floyd did a foot surgery for me locally. She is a no-nonsense person. If she can't fix it, she will send you to someone. It's an all-women office. My surgery was complicated and she did it with ease. Go soon. It makes sense that the body will start trying t fix it, so the longer you wait the more complicated it will get if its a bad break.

Dr. Duke in Ocala. I have a knee scooter. If you need one send me a message.

Dr. Cook and Dr. Williams at Advanced Orthopedic are by far the best!
 
Dr. Cook and Dr. Williams at Advanced Orthopedic are by far the best and are so nice!

They are in the Sharon Morse building.

Dr. Cook did my knee six years ago, and I haven't had one issue since.

Good Luck!

I do not have any experience with Orthopedic Institute. But, in terms of a surgery factory, that is modern, current medicine. Long gone are TV surgeons where one doctor does it all. Typically one doctor cuts it opened, another does the surgery and another closes it up. Teasing a bit-you wake up after anesthesia and the doctor says you did a great job. Tell em you slept through the whole thing-oh no you know Dave.

Oh sorry to hear that, you didn’t have your foot dangling out of a cart did you?
