(2) Cassie Gruber, PA-C for Dr. Moustoukas, for setting my mind at ease by explaining the benefits of Dr. Moustoukas' most-current approach; and (3) Dr. Moustoukas, an expert physician who remains current on best practices so that we - his patients - can benefit from faster recovery times and efficient PT. I highly recommend Dr. Moustoukas, Cassie and Scott and their supporting KWOC team.

I am extremely dissatisfied with the care I received at Kennedy White Orthopedics for a boxer's…read morefracture. My visit with Cassie Gruber was completely transactional and impersonal. She sat behind her computer, briefly stated that the x-ray looked fine, and ended the appointment without ever physically examining my hand. Asking follow-up questions felt like pulling teeth. Because of this lack of hands-on care, my pinky healed rotated. After switching to Coastal Orthopedics, another provider explained that rotation cannot be seen on an x-ray--it requires a physical examination. Now, surgery is my only option to correct my finger. When I became visibly emotional and cried during my final visit upon learning this, Cassie Gruber simply brought in another doctor to calm me down rather than acknowledging her oversight. I strongly advise against seeking care at this practice. Seems that patient care isn't a priority here.

They go above and beyond. Very thorough too. Even suggested blood labs when we weren't seeing issues with mri, exam and X-rays. They get to the bottom of the issue. Was also appreciative that they respect options and costs. Both kids needed boots and wraps and they fitted them in office and gave price but also suggested Amazon if we wanted to try on our own. We didn't but it was nice to know they supported options. Highly recommend

Dr David Sugar, lacks empathy…read more Myself and wife are both patients of Dr David Sugar. Previously we had a problem with Dr Sugar's staff he said to us "if you ever have a problem again, come see me and I'll take care of it". Starting two weeks ago my wife started to suffer with severe pain in her arm and shoulder. Not knowing what it was, she first visited our GP who diagnosed the condition tendonitis and suggested she visit out orthopedist, Dr David Sugar. After trying unsuccessfully for over a week, we decided that we would go to Dr Sugar's office without an appointment and wait to see him. We got there at 12:30 and was advised that if we didn't have an appointment she would not been seen by the Doctor. She explained the severity of the pain and said she would wait to see the Doctor. Fast forward 5 hours when the office manager again told us that Dr Sugar would not see her. My wife then said she only wanted to talk to him. She was told no. Though she was offered an appointment 2 days later, it became obvious it was just a ploy to get us to leave because early the next morning, we received call saying that we could no longer receive medical care from Dr Sugar and that our records were to be transferred to another doctor's office. Obviously Dr Sugar forgot his telling us "if you ever have a problem again, come see me and I'll take care of it". He did not even show the empathy one expects from a Doctor, but even from a decent man. He did not, and could not, find 5 minutes for long time patient in pain

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.

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!!

Discharged Without Notice -- Serious Communication Failure…read more I was very disappointed with Intercoastal Medical Group, Beneva Road. My doctor discharged me without any notice, even though I am 80 years old, and had been on prescribed medication from their office for a long time. Without renewal, there is a risk of serious health consequences. Communication was also difficult, and when I tried to discuss my concerns, I was told they don't share email contacts for managers or doctors. I hope Intercoastal Medical will take greater responsibility for continuity of care and clearer communication with patients.

Got established with Randy Powell, to get on anti anxiety medication. Should be pretty easy,…read moreright..Well when I went to pick up the medication he prescribed, pharmacist says, 'this is your first time being on anything like this, isn't it. Well this dose is high and Dr should have started you off at half this and worked your way up to see if you could tolerate it' So I call and speak with his nurse Sara and ask her if he could lower it and explain what pharmacy said. She asks Dr.Powell and he said that what he called in is what I need and he was not changing it. So all night I am throwing up and having heart palpitations feeling like I'm having a heart attack, because of the strong side effects! Now I have worse anxiety because I'm gun shy to take anything else. I am not impressed with his doctoring skills if he can't even do something this simple.

Especially when I was unable to walk and was feeling vulnerable and at the mercy of another, not a good feeling from a person that is generally healthy and very active. However, from the moment Dr Stewart entered the room this perception I had for the office overall drastically changed. The whole goal was to get some answers as to why my foot is losing circulation, feeling numb going to sleep, can't move toes, pain when walking, standing, twisting from below knee to foot. I was not only misdiagnosed by Dr. Stewart, but vastly misdiagnosed. He went against his better judgement and decided to self diagnose my injuries based upon a physical examination, xray (bones) and ultrasound of my leg. Rather than order an MRI possibly to get further insight into nerve damage (which xray and ultrasound isnt the best option for). After all, I did mention I have spinal stenosis and he said maybe its from that. Then treated me by putting me in a boot for 30 days stating that my problem was most likely muscle related, but if the boot didn't fix the problem in 30 days then he would order an MRI of my back. Fast forward, 5 days later my foot has consistently turned purple (even without the boot) the steroids I was put on caused my heart to race out of my chest as if it was going to burst. I am still in great pain, I still can not walk (or put pressure on my foot) and now have started to see swelling in my left leg and numbness in my right hand and fingers. If you cant treat someone, don't guess. Send them to get the help they need because putting someone in a constricting boot when they are having blood circulation issues is not going to treat the real issue. It's possible it could exasperate the condition. Also aside from the misdiagnosis and the reason it made it even easier to write this is because he had terrible bedside manners. I felt like I was more of a bother in his busy day than anything.

My review is of the onsite physical therapy at 360 Orthopedics on Bee Ridge. I was very…read moredisappointed with the lack of professionalism at this Physical Therapy office. During all of my visits. which were 10+, the therapists were more interested in talking with their coworkers about the dinner they were gonna have or the movie that was on the TV in the room and just ridiculous interaction in front of patients. From what I could see, including myself, patients were pretty much ignored. You were given repetitions to do you did them and maybe the PT person came back in a timely matter and maybe not but their focus was not on their patients. Their focus was on themselves. I really question the level of supervision that these people have, I have been to places like this, and I never return to them.

My visits with him are usually 12 to 14 month apart. Recently I showed up at his office 2 1/2 hours early for my appointment as I entered the wrong time in my phone calendar. After finding out I live 25 miles from the clinic his nurse, Lori, very kindly worked me in after their last morning appointment, thus delaying their own lunch by 20 minutes but it saved me almost 2 hours of waiting. He and Lori are exceptional as that kind of consideration is not common in today's world. On a side note, 15 years ago I was thrown from my horse and broke both bones in my lower leg. Although lower extremities are not his speciality area, he was the KWOC surgeon on call, and did an perfect job putting plates and screws in both bones. My leg healed perfectly. Thank you Dr. Klein!

I was in excruciating pain when I was evaluated by Dr. Berman.. Both of my knees have bothered me…read morefor at least 20 years. I have been to several orthopaedic surgeons who either gave me shots of cortisone or suggested joint replacements. Then I found Sarasota Spine and Joint on Facebook. It appeared several times and I thought why not go for a free consultation, I had nothing to loose. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Dr. Berman recommended me to his partner Dr. Harris who took x-rays and did a thorough exam. He reviewed the x-rays with me and said they did not indicate joint replacements. What a relief. He is kind and personally interested in my well being. He suggested physical therapy and that braces might be helpful when exercising. Two days later I began physical therapy at the same location with Ali Salari, D.C., D.P.T. He was very thorough and laid out a plan for me. I go three times a week and do exercises at home. I just completed my sixth visit. I am a new person. When I woke this morning my pain had gone from a 10 out of 10 to a 0 out of 10 in both knees. After a long day of therapy and grocery shopping, my right knee pain is a 3 out of 10 and the left is a 4 out of 10. This is amazing. They have given me a new lease on life. Up until now nighttime was filled with incredible pain and icing my knees every hour. I was taking high doses of OTC pain medicine. I only slept a few hours a night and the pain would wake me every couple of hours. I haven't felt rested in years. I gained a tremendous amount of weight not being able to exercise. I quit a career in real estate due to not being able to go up or downstairs. We moved into a ranch because I couldn't handle steps, not even once a day. I can't believe only 3 weeks ago I had my first appointment here. Both Tameka and Alex the P.T.A.'s who assist Ali are kind, attentive, and sincerely concerned with my progress. I highly recommend anyone suffering with knee or any joint pain to make an appointment today. The worst thing that can happen is they can't help you. The best thing is you might enjoy a life with little to no pain.
