Dr. Carla Thomas at UNOVA is very good but I have no idea if she is in your network. Have you checked your insurance's website for participating providers in this area?

Dr. Christopher Keen in Lecanto (Crystal River) I had two previous surgeries done on on my shoulder after a serious fall. I had these surgeries done in Ocala. Lived in pain for 2 years. Went to Dr. Keen and he did a reverse shoulder replacement and the minute I woke up I was pain free. I would highly recommend Dr. Keen. He is friendly, personable and takes pride in his work. He really cares about his patients.

Jean B. replied:
Karleen Pritts, Dr. Cook just repaired my rotator cuff & my bicep tendon & smoothed out a bone spur on March 13 th. I first called Dr. Messieh, but he only does replacements. His receptionist gave me both Dr. Cook & a doc in Clermont's name. I saw both & both gave me same diagnosis & treatment plan. I went with Dr. Cook as he did a fellowship in just shoulders at Duke. He is very gentle & caring about your comfort & pain control, which was very minimal the way he did my procedure. I highly recommend him!
Any recommendations for a doctor outside of The Villages Health System who specializes in sports medicine or orthopedics and who can diagnose and treat an elbow injury?

Lorraine Z. replied:
Dr. Guskey at Florida Orthopedic in Tampa. Operates at Tampa General. Yes it's a drive, but the man invented the parts in the knee replacement. Teaches all over the world. Little bedside manners but he did both of my guy's knees.

Dr. Duke in Ocala
Elaine C. replied:
Dr. Kerina with Tri County Orthopedics...offices in Leesburg and Lady Lake...fantastic orthopedist...great staff.

Dr. Radnathy in Taveres is excellent. Surgery is at Waterman Hospital and excellent care was received.
Eleanor M. replied:
I used Dr Duke three times this year. He did my hip and two knee replacements. Had no problems. I would recommend him.
Dolly C. replied:
Dr. Marc Rogers, TOI (The Orthropetic Institue) in Ocala. Awesome.
Carolyn H. replied:
Be careful with Dr. Duke. He never saw me but the nurses send me for an MRI then told me I had a cracked kneecap and he recommended a total knee replacement. Went to Tri County and I didn't have a cracked kneecap and didn't need a knee replacement. I only had a torn meniscus. Dr. Cook took care of me but I hear high praises for Dr. Katrina.
Richard C. replied:
Steven Nguyen in Orlando. He does the knee replacement from the side without cutting the quad muscle. Recovery time is about half as long. I had one knee done conventionally in 2013 in Nashville and the other done by Dr Nguyen in 2015. No comparison.
Mary L. replied:
I recommend Dr. Locker in Ocala. They will be opening an office next year on Rolling Acres Rd.
Luba R. replied:
Dr. Stephen Nguyen. has you walking same day as surgery. Know several people who went to him and were very happy. They were also golfing six weeks after surgery.
Cynthia M. replied:
Dr Nguyen in Orlando. Had both knees done. He is very thorough. Tests you for allergic reaction before deciding which materials to use. Uses a technique so no muscles are cut and healing recovery is phenomenal. Highly urge you to use him

Dr. Joseph Locker of Orthopedic Institute.
Janet K. replied:
The Orthopaedic Institute. Locations in Lady Lake, Ocala and Gainesville. Building a new facility and enlarging. You must go thru the "gatekeeper" at any location. Lady Lake is Dr. Kim. He diagnoses, orders tests, therapy if needed etc. If necessary, he will assign you the appropriate surgeon. The surgeon then can see you and immediately put you on surgical schedule. Best I'v found since Philly. And I've had a lot of surgeries.
