Not the 1st time she screwed up either....Misbilled my insurance company by a lousy $5....Instead of fixing it with the insurance company (probably embarrassing for her) She sends a BILL IN THE MAIL TO ME for $5.....I make ALL my copayments and will not pay for her clerical errors..... Funny how one person can RUIN an otherwise great experience with Dr. Fred....regards, Steve A

Nobody likes to have pain, but it is nice when you come into an office that is clean with pleasant people and faces that seem happy to see you. After having an x-ray of my foot performed related to my complaint I very quickly saw Dr. Albert Gillespy and he reassured me of what was going on. The visit was quick efficient and always a pleasure to see everybody. What a great office and staff.

She explained so well the difference surgery and therapy would have. She then showed us how effective therapy will be for him. It was amazing how well she could guide him through exercises without pain. As my husband wishes you to know: she's the bee's knees. Everyone we encountered worked harmoniously together. The experience was one of feeling welcomed.

I've been to see Dr. McBroom for ingrown toenails and a pain in my ankle. I find him to be very…read morepleasant and easy to talk to. Dr. McBroom explained the different options available for the ingrown toenails and didn't try to pressure me into a procedure that wasn't necessary at this time. I had an issue with scheduling (was sent to Ormond Beach instead of Port Orange) which I fortunately discovered prior to the actual appointment.

Terribly unreliable appointment times. Twice now I've had an appointment here and arrived early…read morewhich they ask you to do. Both times it's more than 20 minutes past my appointment time and am still waiting. It's so frustrating when you work full time and rely on appointment times to be on time so you can get back to work. In fairness, this is a followup to my initial appointment which was fantastic. The doc suggested Physical Therapy to avoid surgery.

I have been seeing Dr. Hawthorne for several years now and can attest that Dr. Hawthorne is not…read moreonly an awesome doctor, he is also an incredible surgeon. I have been receiving knee injections from Dr. Hawthorne in my attempt to postpone the inevitable - knee replacement surgery. More about that another time. On Father's Day weekend 2023, I felt a momentary sharp pain in my right shoulder. Having felt a similar pain in my past, I assumed what I had done. I put off seeing Dr. Hawthorne until July. After the CT, the official diagnosis was, "retracted full-thickness, full width re-tear of the supraspinatus tendon and, retracted full-thickness near full-width tear of the infraspinatus tendon". In laymen's terms, I tore my rotator cuff - again. The surgery (not arthroscopic) was addressed in mid-August. I started in-home PT 3-days after the surgery (arranged by Dr. Hawthorne's office). In-home PT continued for 3-weeks. I am currently in outpatient PT doing the work to re-gain both my strength, and my range of motion (also arranged by Dr. Hawthorne's office). By the way, I have a tattoo on the shoulder where the surgery was done. Without exaggeration, you would not be able to tell that I had surgery if I did not tell you. The point of incision is barely visible. Dr. Hawthorne is a man of few words. He'll give you the facts to help you to decide the next steps, without the glitter. When you are ready, you can move forward with him and trust that he will do a great job. I trust him. As soon as I have completed PT and have fully recovered from rotator cuff surgery, I will be scheduling with Dr. Hawthorne to get my knees done, one after the other. I highly recommend Dr. Hawthorne and his team.
