We use Dr Killian in Birmingham as our Orthopedic surgeon. My daughter had a condition that was misdiagnosed for over a year by 10 different doctors. We finally found Dr Killian and he diagnosed her in less than 5 minutes. He operated almost 3 years ago and she has had no problems since. His office is Orthopedics for Kids and it is at St Vincents hospital.
I have to go to an orthopedic doctor because I need to have some steroid shots in my heel. Any recommendations??
Yvonne B. replied:
I love Dr. Black. He has been my doctor since I was born with my feet turned in!
Shannon L. replied:
Marsha Mayhall Smith, no but my sister has. She said it was painful but if that's what your doc suggests, power through!!
Katie P. replied:
Dr Sterling and Martens are foot/ankle orthos at Sportsmed. Martens did both of my foot surgeries and he's wonderful! I would go see either of them and see if you really need the injections, they may have alternatives
Shannon L. replied:
Marsha Mayhall Smith, yes!
Oma O. replied:
Marsha, Dr. Martens at Sports Med is wonderful. He did surgery on my husband just a few months ago. Has a wonderful personality. He is a podiatrist.
Need recommendations for a podiatrist or an orthopedist who is really good with feet. I believe I have metatarsalgia and need to see if there is an underlying structural...

A friend of mine had extensive reconstruction work on both of her feet by Dr. Ocampo and sings his praises.
Sydney B. replied:
Went to Dr. Ocampo. Set me up well.
Morgan M. replied:
Ditto Dr Ocampo. Just had surgery today and his whole team did a great job taking care of me. He did my right foot 2 years ago and it felt great during my last marathon.
Melissa W. replied:
I guess I'll be making an appointment with Dr. Ocampo. Thanks for all the recommendations!
Does anyone have any suggestions on a good orthopedic in town? My knee has been acting up the past two weeks from running and I've come to the conclusion I should...

Either call Results Physiotherapy for a non-surgical consult or see Dr. Eric Janssen at SportsMed. You'd be in good hands either way!
Laura S. replied:
Dr Culpepper, or Dr Janssen are both great.
Laura H. replied:
Dr. Davis (also at SportsMed) has gotten me through a hip avulsion. He's been great.
Hey all: can anyone recommend a good sports-orthopedic doc around Huntsville specializing in the ankle area? My teen daughter broke her fibula at gymnastics. Thanks.
Susan D. replied:
Try The Orthopedic Center (TOC). I've had great success with knee and hand doctors there. Also, they have a Madison campus if that helps.

My daughter broke her growth plate in her tibia about 18 months ago and we went to Dr. Griffin at TOC. We loved him and his staff. He did her surgery 2 days after her break and talked directly to her about everything, explained exactly what was happening, what he would do and made sure she was comfortable with everything. She asked a million questions (she was 13 at the time) and he answered every single one. She hasn't had any problems with her ankle at all since the break. Good luck, I hope she recovers quickly. BTW the best thing we did was rent a knee scooter for Makayla instead of crutches, made getting around every where so much easier for her since it was no weight on the foot for 8 weeks.

Dr. Allen Goodson at TOC ...
Melissa D. replied:
I'm currently dealing with a broken fib, and saw Dr. Thomasson. While he was great, his nurse does not return calls - at all. So, keep that in mind, maybe go with someone else:)

Dr. Diorio of the Orthopedic Center would be my go to guy.
Steve M. replied:
Ask Ricky Morrow at the end of our street - I think he said Sports Med but cannot remember what Dr he suggested, but if he and Adam have used this guy, he must be good

Stanton Davis at TOC installed two big screws in my right midfoot in January 2011 after a pretty nasty Lisfranc fracture.. I've run ten ultramarathons on it, raced my bike two seasons and have thousands of miles cycling on it with no problems.
