The initial appointment with "Barbie" surgeon dressed in a form fitted jump suit with fushia shoes…read moreand eyeglasses was almost humerus except that she couldn't show me where my break was in my wrist. I worked in healthcare for 30 years and would have sent her home to dress appropriately. Thankfully her NP at later visits was intelligent and educated. The business never considered how many appointments were authorized for me and just saw me continuously until they ran out and then told me to go get more so I could continue my care. The NP told me that the office would request PT for me then 3 weeks later when I called they said they I needed to do that which delayed my physical therapy by 6 weeks; that's a lot for a broken dominant hand wrist. I will never go back there.

Initially I saw Dr. Avi Kumar for an evaluation for a shoulder problem. After a few rudimentary…read moremovements he summarized I needed a shoulder implant. 10 minutes Day of surgery I saw him pre-op for about two minutes. Since then I have been bounced around with PA's and physical therapists. Seems no one stays working with Coastal very long. There is virtually no after care and appointments are continually being changed..as far as a month in advance for a PA! I need the opposite shoulder repaired next but I am thinking I won't go through this again especially with Coastal. Find another orthopedic Dr. if you can that is not connected to Coastal!!

Speak to someone in the Phillipines who then has you give all the same info you gave to the AI agent and who is clearly then having to call someone in the US to change an appointment. An extremely painful hour of my life. They have outsourced a key part of their business to an appalling provider. I will find a different PT provider just so I dont have to deal with their outsourced scheduling.

No direct experience with Dr. Bennett other than brief consult and a sell-job for knee injections…read morethat my insurance wouldn't cover. (The injections were in wide use by knee docs.) OUTSTANDING:: the therapist he had on staff at time ['20]. Knew her stuff. Helped considerably. What makes me uneasy about Bennett is his total mercenary approach to medicine. He's in the most expensive medical building in Sarasota, but he's got it cut up into a few spaces so small as to be VERY uncomfortable and to raise questions about how he can keep it sanitary. Four people in waiting room is very jammed. One therapy room so tiny that you have to move sideways to get in -- there's only 2, and the 2nd is full of promo materials. I've had lots of orthopedic procedures (Ann Arbor, Stanford, Mayo Clinic), and there's a comfort vibe you get with doc & facility that is totally lacking here. He appears to have a corps of appreciative patients, but his whole image operation just makes me uncomfortable, just too mercenary.

All follow up appointments are with his assistant Joe, who is very personable, knowledgeable and thorough. While I was there for follow up, I told him my wrist had been hurting and he ordered testing that concluded west was also broken during my fall. Joe referred me to hand surgeon and I saw her assistant Jamie who was just as I described Joe and she is following up on the wrist. I told Joe that separate from my fall, my knees were hurting and after x-ray, we agreed to doing gel shots in my knees and they are now doing much better. Physical therapy team is also great and easy to work with. I am extremely pleased with Coastal Orthopedics entire team!
