Thank you
I broke my ankle in 3 places in June! Dr. Tankson and Martha Olson (PA) out of UF Health Orthopedics have been fantastic! I highly recommend them. Dr. Tankson did surgery on me and they have been very helpful during the recovery process. Contact me if you have any questions.

Default Dr Christopher Reb DO

Dr Reb is an Orthopedist who works out of Gainesville and has an office on 441 on Thursday mornings. He reconfigured my crushed heel after a fall from a ladder, a devastating injury, and I am walking and playing golf again.

I broke my ankle during my first round of golf since my "triple by-pass surgery" It has not been a great start to living the good life!! LoL I had to have surgery to repair two breaks: The Orthopedic Institute on 441, Dr. Krueger did the surgery. The therapy was also done there. Both were professional and friendly. I recommend them

Best wishes in finding someone a competent dr that you trust and for the whole process. I have had a lot of foot surgeries ( not in FL) & they require patience. Its hard bcs you cant bear any weight while the bones are mending. This means you have to rely on others even for small tasks. If I was already moved to TV I would help you.

Wherever you may look, be sure to find out how many related surgeries they have done. A minimum of 250 would be my cutoff. You want experience, not a stepping stone on some resident's learning curve. Given existing pressures to lower healthcare costs, many such procedures are pushed down to the lowest/cheapest level of care provider, which often excludes those who are best at it. Don't compromise on experience.
Good luck.
