I then had an almost complete ACL tear while skiing and again with regenerative injection after 6 months I was back playing tennis. It's not cheap but SO WORTH it!

I have been treated by chiropractors in many states and a few countries. Out of all of the chiropractors I have been treated by, many have actually made me worse, some have been of minimal help, and only two have been able to really help me. Dr. Johnson is one of those two chiropractors who I swear by. His knowledge and skill are absolutely amazing. As long as he is practicing, I will be a patient of his. Can't say enough, good things about him. The professional and clerical staff are also very helpful, skilled and friendly.

I went for my first appointment, to get started, and the doctor was not empathetic, and refused to prescribe anything for me. They could not review my chart because their internet was down. I was treated like an addict. The staff were all lovely, but I am very disappointed with the doctor. He ordered an MRI, which I'm waiting to have scheduled. I've never had withdrawals, but I'm terrified. He walked out whole I was talking to him. I am hoping this gets addressed quickly. I've had ablations, multiple ESI'S and surgeries, therapy over the years. They help, but only in conjunction with my meds. Very disappointed. I hope this works out before I become sick! Cindy Elko

This is going to be a long story, but I hope this could help someone…read more My ankle was broken with a ligament issue, and I was referred to see a specialist. The main office couldn't figure out the referral form from my primary doctor for 3 days, while telling me to call them to send the right paperwork, when I didn't even know what that was. After I told them I'd find another surgeon, they magically sorted it out. (Btw, this doc doesn't know how to use any modern tech. I was at 1st appt for over 4hrs). I got my surgery scheduled with Dr. Bright very soon. I had a plate and screws inserted into my ankle, which took about 2 hours. My main issue with care was that I was not given any pain medication but told to take Tylenol, although I have no history/issue with it. I had to call the next day and plead for medication while crying in pain. Also, I kept falling during my rehab, which my PT reported to the surgeon. His note should've raised a red flag, but my surgeon or office never called. When I went to see him, he briefly looked at my X-ray and my ankle and recommended removal surgery. I ended up getting surgery from a different doctor, and he said that my ligament was torn, and this should've been easily seen from an X-ray when I was injured at the beginning, and this should've been fixed during my first surgery. Why should you have a surgeon who barely listens to you, reads your charts or notes before coming into your room, or checks your updates from PT? I'm still suffering 2 years later after 2 surgeries; this may be permanent. Do not get close there.

I had a severe fall that left me with a torn rotator cuff and nerve damage to my shoulder which…read morewent down to my hands & fingers. I went to two Orthopedic surgeons who both said I needed rotator cuff surgery. A few people (two in the medical field) told me to have Dr. Schofield do my surgery, so I went to him expecting to make a surgical date. He looked at my MRI, did some manual tests on my shoulder movements which were very limited and said that I don't need rotator cuff surgery and that I have a frozen shoulder and to increase my PT. I was shocked and thrilled that I sought a third opinion. My shoulder is getting better with increased intense PT. Sadly, the nerve damage in my shoulder which is affecting the use of my dominant hand might need surgery and Dr. Schofield is helping me find the right surgeon for this unusual surgery as there's no one in Sarasota that does it. Dr. Schofield is kind, soft spoken, explains things well and listens to my questions and concerns. His staff are all very nice, and the only negative is that you can't leave a voice message. If they're answering another call the recording says to call back and then disconnects.

"Greeter" states office left msg to arrive 20 mins early yesterday and she'll reschedule me for my appointment. Five mins early for agreed upon appointment time and I'm late. Hey Docs! Let's try a novel approach: Agree upon a specific arrival time ESPECIALLY if you're gonna turn away patients for not showing early enough!! UPDATE: Received calls from Lifton's staff wanting to reschedule (). However, stuck to we texted and emailed you re showing 20 mins early. Newsflash - texting and emailing does NOT ensure receipt especially wrt FL's elderly population. Shame on you for turning patients away for showing up NOT EARLY ENOUGH!

The nurse was very thorough and the Dr. Hanna took time to ask about my needs and concerns and was familiar with my conditions. She was informative and relaxed, and addressed my concerns.

Any referral I've asked for, she has told me I need to figure that out with my insurance, myself. She breaks everything possible into multiple visits so that billing happens as much as possible. For my last appointment, I had a urinalysis that she admitted she never reviewed, even though it was a severe issue that needed immediate care. I had to make a new appointment a week later to review those results because I still wasn't feeling well. When I told her it was unacceptable that she never reviewed my results, she said "it's Monday" and "you're not my only patient", I said it's been a week and that's a terrible way to treat a patient. She back tracked immediately and said she did review my results and never followed up because she didn't need to. She then began being very condescending to me and even told me she doesn't need to mother me or check back in (and denied telling me to call her if I needed a medication change, as my infection was a tricky one to treat). I again, told her this is very condescending as I was just following exactly what she told me to do. She actually hung up on me during this telehealth video call. She is truly the only PCP that was available when I moved here and it is clear why. The office itself is so gross and creepy. She's cared a lot more about my outfits I wore to my appointments, than my family's colorful cancer history! This was my final straw after her lack of care for 2 years, so this is probably a blessing in disguise for me!
