Can your family physician recommend someone?

"Just broke my ankle," has it been x-rayed? The report will state the extent of the damage. I'm sure they can give you a list of qualified people. For most of us you will want to check who takes your insurance. I've used Dr. Stirling Lakeside foot and ankle in Leesburg. I am a tough patient to deal with. I hate going to doctors. He is a podiatric surgeon. They are great people. They did well for me.

DO NOT go to Orthopedic Institute! Biggest waste of time!! They are taking advantage of seniors, being so big and close. It's like going to a surgery factory. Go somewhere they truly care about their patients

Generally speaking, one should always begin by logging into their medical insurance website account and then using it to search for in-network providers. Otherwise, skip that step and go with whatever reference you get from here and pay as fully as possible out of pocket.

Default Orthopedic surgeon

I was in a golf cart accident and broke my wrist and had a compound fracture of my ankle. Dr. Goldstein of Orthopedic Institute in Ocala was the doctor assigned at the hospital. He is excellent. After two surgeries and a year later my ankle is as good as new.

Sorry you apparently had a poor experience there. I had my knee replaced through them, including PT afterward. A very good experience. I would use them again for the other knee when the time comes

First step, talk to your primary care physician not internet posters.

I used Dr. Cook at Advanced Orthopedics. I thought the practice was great and really liked him.
