Dr. Desman’s Online Reviews
“I had Right Knee Makoplasty surgery in August 2015. The procedure and recovery went just as the Dr. Desman informed me that it would, and today I am virtually pain free in that knee. I am more than pleased with the results.”

It has taken me over a decade to find a specialist to help me with my neck issues. Being a professional vocalist and guitarist, my neck issues have sometimes interfered with my performances. Dr... Prasher is a doctor who gave me his time, understanding attention, ear, and kindness. Dr Prasher is helping me manage my pain without treating me like was just a number. I felt like a patient and he has given me hope. The "hope" alone has given me peace of mind which has helped me relax. I feel blessed to have been sent to him. I HIGHLY recommend. Since seeing him I am able to play guitar longer and have to tools to deal with my neck after a long exhausting show.read more

Very efficient practice--very no-nonsense. I appreciated that my appointment time was honored and that xrays were quickly done. The front office/reception staff was very friendly. The attending... physician and his assistant were not as friendly. A little "warm and fuzzy" would have been nice from them, esp. since I was in pain.read more

Dr Hill replaced my knee earlier this year and the experience was seamless. He was encouraging and appreciated my efforts to get comfortably back on my feet. Now I have this neck nerve, pain... problem. He knew exactly what I needed in minutes, gave me miracle meds and advice and I am back again on track. He's great! As is the office and support staff!read more

No matter what the injury, all of their doctors and staff are experienced and attentive. My son played football and we both have been going to South Florida Orthopaedics for years. I highly recommend... them. They have specialists for every part of your musculoskeletal needs, and have all of the equipment for X-rays and MRIs in the same building. Very convenient!read more

my daughter broke both of her wrists from a bicycle accident and she was lucky enough to get Dr. Moran who performed surgery. Post-op we have been coming to SoFl Ortho and everyone has been so... great, from start to finish. We especially love Dana who is so awesome at her job, and a big thanks to Kelly, RN with always returning my calls quickly and answering my questions. We couldn't be happier even with the challenging events of Covid.read more

The surgery appears to have been sufficient. The administrative staff is comically disorganized and rude. I received several urgent, “you have to do this today” commands, when they could have... just mentioned when we spoke the previous day. Then, I got yelled at for them supposedly having the wrong phone number in their system. I’m not sure how that’s my fault, and it’s especially confusing, given that it was only like that for one person...all others from that office were able to call me with no problems. There was no communication between this office and the surgical center, causing me to have to answer a litany of questions twice instead of once. Next time, it will be worth the drive to go to Jupiter for orthopaedic work.read more

What I love most about Dr. Romano is the fact that while he was professional during the visit he was also able to have a nice personality. Very personable and answered all of my questions without... hesitation. He was confident in his diagnosis and his ability to fix my issue. Can’t wait for the results!!read more

I've been a patient at South Florida Orthopeadics and Sports Medicine for many years and have never been disappointed by their professionalism and my outcomes. It's a huge yet very streamlined... practice. The staff is not only efficient, but also very pleasant. Dr. Carlson has been my go-to guy for most of my procedures, but recently I've had the pleasure of getting to know Dr. Prasher and Dr. Ramos. I highly recommend South Florida Orthopedics and Sports Medicineread more

I came to S Fl Orthopedics originally seeing Dr.Breslauer for what was diagnosed as a bruised foot but turned out to be a very serious broken foot. With his treatment, my foot it it is as good as... ever. I currently see Dr. Prather and Dr. Ramos who work together as a team, to treat spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease, that is complicated with arthritis. Without their help I would be in terrible pain every day and unable to function at full capacity. Not only are the doctors exceptional, but the staff is efficient and very friendly. I never wait more than 10 minutes to see the doctor. I commend them especially during the pandemic for the way they managed the patients and kept social distancing but still saw patients in a timely manner. I highly recommend S. Florida Orthopedics and especially the doctors listed above.read more

I have been going to Dr. Jones for a broken collar bone for about 3 months. He has a great personality, making you feel comfortable right away. Dr. Jones showed me each x-ray and explained my... condition and the course we would take to rectify the break. Everyone I have come in contact with at both locations, has been very helpful and caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Jones and all on the staff.read more

Dr. Blackburn is very knowledgeable in his discipline as a hand surgeon. Dr. Blackburn determined the origin of my ailment in just a few minutes and relieved the pain I had been dealing with for 3-4... years. It was amazing.

Excellent care with the doctor and his personal assistant.Check-in and check-out ladies were friendly, courteous, and efficient.The tech that was taking the images was a bit abrupt and not... friendly.I had a previous appointment the week before and waited over an hour in the reception waiting area. I cancelled the appointment because I was not able to sit the area any longer. I understand that doctor offices get backed up, but this was a bit too extreme. I rescheduled an appointment for early morning which was perfect. I was seen promptly with little waiting time. My next appointment I have also scheduled for early morning.read more

I am on the mend thanks to Dr. Blackburn. His patience, understanding, and gentle bedside manner reflects his compassion for his patients. The fact that he is your surgeon from beginning to sutures,... which heal beautifully, makes him very special. I have been visiting Dr. Blackburn for the last 14 months. During this very difficult time for me Maura always made me feel like I was in a safe place. Maura is a remarkable asset to the practice. Thank youThank you - Dr. Blackburn and Mauraread more

Dr. Jordan and his staff are outstanding. It was my second surgery and I didn't realize there were still Doctors that sat down and chatted with you or friendly/efficient nurse staff out there... anymore! These guys stand out - hardcore. They bus you through quick but still take the time to make sure all your questions are answered. On my last visit they gave me an appreciation coin to give to any staff member I felt deserved it. Wild. All of them deserved it. These guys really go above and beyond and I've been recommending them all day every day - especially compared to their in-town competition.read more
