The Village’s Health and The Villages Hospital and two separate entities. The Hospital does accept traditional Medicare.

Agree with Dr Jon Radnothy, Tavares. Did my knee, hip, and rotator cuff, over a 7 year period. Went well, and back to playing softball. Big plus - ZERO post-surgery pain. Not to say rehab may not bring discomfort.

Best in the area is the Rothman Group in Orlando....Dr. George Huffman. Used him and have had great success.

Unfortunately, I had fallen & broke upper arm. The ER ortho referral was for Dr Mitchel w UF Orthopedics. He did surgery at UF Leesburg & 1 of his offices is across from that hospital. I have heard nothing but excellent reputation comments. His office nurse assistant is excellent so I hope my recovery for reverse total shoulder procedure progresses without complications! Good luck to you!

I had rotator surgery with Dr. COOK
and I really was pleased. He is now treating me for a broken shoulder.
He is located in The Sharon Morse building up by the hospital. There is also a physical therapy office there.
You can go there or any place that is convenient.

Dr.Cook did my rotator surgery and I was very pleased. He is now treating me for a broken shoulder.

Isaac Mitchell. Offices in The Villages, Leesburg, & Tavares. The best, no doubt about it.

Just dislocated my shoulder and saw Dr Lloyd Kim at the Orthopedic Institute at Brownwood. He was excellent.

Dr Mitchell is the best in this area. I worked with him at Leesburg. He did my shoulder and many hospital employees and their family members. Not much personality, but the end results are excellent. That is what matters most.

Husband just had shoulder surgery 3 weeks ago. He was recommended by a friend to Dr. Manseau at ortho specialty care in Ocala. He is very happy with the result.

My wife uses Rothman Inst. in Orlando for her shoulder issues, Dr. Russ Huffman is excellent.

Dr. Jay Cook replaced my shoulder last year, very pleased with the outcome.

Dr Amit Varma in Clermont did a good job on my rotator cuff.
