Look good, feel good. There's truth to those words. While looks certainly aren't the be all and end all of life, the reality is the better we feel about ourselves the more likely we are to be confident and emotionally healthy beings. According to Nationaleatingdisorders.org body image is, .how you see yourself when you look.
As a result of aging or injury, the cartilage in our joints can break down. This results in a condition called arthritis. Arthritic joints become very stiff and painful. After all conservative treatment has been exhausted, some patients may be a candidate for joint replacement. During this procedure, the orthopedic surgeon removes the damaged cartilage and bone and replaces it with a prosthesis.
Shoulder pain and weakness is very common. The rotator cuff tendon which moves your shoulder, can fail due to repetitive use or injury. The spectrum of injuries to your shoulder can range from inflammation, arthritis, instability, partial and complete rotator cuff tears. Your surgeon will examine you and perform tests to diagnose your condition and recommend a treatment plan accordingly.
Hip joints are engaged in every step we make. When they hurt, it can really slow us down. After a thorough examination by our surgeons, non-operative or operative treatments may be recommended, depending on the condition. As our hip joint ages, or sometimes due to injury, hip replacement may be recommended.
The meniscus is a small cartilage cushion inside the knee which acts as a shock absorber between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone). Injury or degeneration can cause damage to the meniscus. Once damaged, the meniscus does not repair itself and your surgeon may need to perform arthroscopic surgery to repair or remove the damaged tissue.

After spending almost $200 to see the doctor, he didn’t ask me anything. He wasn’t able to view my MRI taken at Health First and because I’m Diabetic assumed I had a frozen shoulder. I’ve never been immobile since the injury but had Dr. el Kommos asked me anything he would have known that. I left there with none of my questions answered and in more pain than when I got there. His nurse was rude from the get go and when I told her I had more questions I was told I could ask when I came back after my 8 weeks of physical therapy for a follow up for which I have to shell out another $200 since

My husband broke his ankle and they were the sweetest people to him. After his surgery everything went down hill. The wait time gets longer and the staff get ruder. The receptionist Charles and Nadine who works in psychical therapy were the only ones to show compassion. Today is the last time I come with him to this practice. I hope your experience is better than ours.

As a former employee I have recommended this practice to several good friends. All have had nothing less than miraculous treatment. I was and continue to be in awe if the superior surgical procedures these surgeons have preformed. Having been on the "front lines" I saw first hand nothing short of miracles on a daily basis. Can't end my post without a shout out to the PT dept. The best I've ever seen. I will continue to laud this practice. To go anywhere else would be a shame. P.S I miss working there!!

I had a horrible experience at my visit. I was yelled at from across the room full of waiting patients that I was too early and would have to wait my turn. I simply had signed in and went and sat down. No one greeted me. I went to the desk to explain that I was legally blind and could not drive and had to depend on a car service and this was the only time he could work me into his schedule. She did not respond to this. She thenclaimed I could not be seen because they had not received my paperwork and test results. This was not true. When I was called to go into a room, the nurse did not greet me

Doctor Helmy whom preformed my hip resurface back in 2007 has since retired. He was a very fine doctor. Nevertheless, I will never return to Space Coast Orthopedic center!! It has been about 6 years since I have been in for any follow ups on my procedure. so I made an appointment to have a check up on my hip to make sure everything is good. The new doctor Sedaros is the worst, HE MADE FEEL VERY UN-WELCOME! Like why am I even there, he doesn't have time to be bothered with me GET OUT! What a complete waist of time....Then he bills my insurance company for a 30min exam...He spoke with me for less
