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.”

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. I was given three injections and even though they were painful, Dr. Blackburn made me feel relaxed and at ease while he did it. Great doctorread more

I injured my foot and made an appointment with Dr. Anthony Romano. He took the time to discuss my treatment options so I could make an educated decision. The staff was professional and courteous, ... especially Julie, Dr. Romano's assistant. She's so sweet and made sure I was comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Romano!read more

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
