Thank you
Sorry no advice - you may want to consult a doctor versus asking someone on this site - just a suggestion.

I was his patient for three months due to a traumatic knee injury. Excellent care.
Also treated at Shands Hospital in Gainesville. Highly recommend.

Years ago I fell and broke my ankle in 3 places. The ER doctor told me to call my clinic, which I did. This was up north and not here!!! The clinic made an app't with an ortho. dr. and from there I had a surgery to correct the breaks. I don't know that here you can' just call and make an app't without going through a primary first. They should be able to help you. If you broke it here---went to the ER---then the chain of command (so to speak) is to follow-up with your primary who should steer you to the right people.

I have had two surgeries done by them and would give them a 100% recommendation. Doctor went way out of his way to get my insurance to cover the first one

what practice is she with?

He did my wife's ankle as well. Very good...

Why? What's wrong with getting recommendations from this site?? I think people are really trying to help.

If you have a fracture that needs surgery an orthopedic surgeon should be your only choice.
