Sue Dupont in the PT department LITERALLY changed my life. She gave me back some mobility when I was down to basically 0 movement. She is so kind, thoughtful, understanding, and just great to work with. She's also very funny and just really makes you look forward to coming into PT. You can tell she's extremely competent, and I observed her colleagues asking for her opinion on more than one occasion. My back injury journey has been miserable, but Sue was a HUGE bright spot.

Efficient office. Highly qualified doctors and staff. Dr. Sagini is very personable, confident, and willing to explain all the details of upcoming procedures with expectations. I like him. If I ever have need of his expertise, I will seek him first. Great Doc.

It was a great visit. The front office staff were friendly and efficient. My wait time for X-rays was under five minutes. The X-ray tech was polite, friendly and explained what was happening clearly. The medical assistants and nursing staff were also thorough and amiable. The Eichten was kind, listened to my concerns and laid out the treatment options clearly. I feel very confident in the wonderful care I receive from JIS of FL. SA

Joint Implant Surgeons of Florida runs in a very efficient manner. The wait time to see a doctor is minimal. I've seen Dr Colle twice now and am very pleased with his warm & friendly personality. He explains everything in detail and leaves no questions unanswered. I have yet to have surgery, but if I decide to, I know I am in excellent hands. He seems like a very knowledgeable, intelligent man. I am very pleased with my visits.

Dr Humbert and his staff run a very efficient office. You are not left sitting forever in the waiting room. The checkin staff are warm and friendly followed by the staff members who do X-rays and medical history. They are all smiling and pleasant. Dr Humbert is very professional and does great work. I can't believe how well my hip replacement surgery went. One month and I am walking pain free with a cane!

Dr. Melendez-Dedos and his staff are so caring and skilled. I highly recommend them for your pain management needs. I have had many back and hip injections and cannot believe how gentle the doctor is when performing this delicate procedure! His staff takes great care of you before and after procedures. They treat you like family!

They are so fast and efficient and compassionate. All the staff that I have encountered are professional and friendly and would give you all the time you need to get information across. I especially felt Austin and Alexis so kind and unhurried with me. Like I was the only patient in the house which I knew wasn't true. so thanks for excellent staff and warm hearted employees

Wonderful experience, so well organized from arrival to discharge. This visit for my Aunt. I was so impressed that I made an appointment to see this doctor. I'm a retired trauma nurse, I know the good doctors when I see them in action

I went to joint implant surgeons of fort myers for a long standing issue with my shoulder that the VA hospital didn't want to touch and from the moment I first saw doctor Humbert I knew I was in good hands. The surgery went well and the follow-up care from the staff has been absolutely amazing, they are the most caring and supportive people I have ever had the privilege of knowing.

This was my 17th operation and although it's going to be a awhile before I'm 100 percent, I know that having Dr Humbert and his staff do the surgery was the best decision I have ever made. I can't thank them enough.

These people would have made Jim and Tammy Baker envious. I was charged entering the facility, I was charged before I was allowed to leave, they then charged my insurance company, then after that payment I started receiving bills in the mail from them. I paid that bill, and they are still sending me payment due letters. The doctor was in a hurry but very capable, the physicians assistant was a professionally cool somewhat detached Asian woman. Also capable. I think the overall experience was decent physically but billing and bedside manner need attention. Desperate attention to billing.

It took two days just to get someone to return my calls. None of the staff wear masks--during a pandemic. But after the surgery my healing is going well.

Great staff! Dr Humbart was informative and pleasant. Thorough process. Pleased with injection for rotator cuff bursitis and wheels in motion for left total hip after options given.

I Would highly recommend this Dr, he is patient and answered all our questions. He didn't rush to do any procedures, and took his time when he was with us! Very nice man!

I bless the day I was referred to Joint Implant Surgeons of Florida. My experiences with them have always been positive! Just had a procedure with Dr Melendez-Dados this morning. Kind, compassionate, gentle. Explained every step of the procedure as he went. He's just wonderful!

I have had many interactions with this practice from Dr. visits for knee replacement, X-rays, MRIs, Spine Center visits for evaluation, treatment and Physical Therapy. At every visit I was treated with greatest care and compassion. Every person I came in contact with was concerned for my well being and treated me as a person and not just my condition. Amazing.

I do not recommend going to this doctor. I went to her to treat my lower back pain. Specifically for spinal injections. I had them previously and they were effective. I had to switch to Rush because of insurance. I had my previous doctor explain to her where she had placed the injections that had provided me relief. Dr Fetzer refused to inject in the same location.

She tried twice in different spots and when it didn't provide me with relief she immediately dropped me like a sack of rocks. She didn't even have the courtesy to tell me this herself and instead had her assistant do it. I asked what I should do moving forward and she suggested I manage my pain with medication, which she refused to write a script for.

I think she doesn't care about her patients at all. Completely unprofessional and insensitive. I am still having a lot of pain and trying to figure out what to do. Don't bother with this doctor.

I saw Dr. Fetzer last year for severe back pain. She insisted that I begin with a series of injections. I told her that I had them before with no relief. She explained that the injections were the place to start and if there was no improvement we could explore other options. She runs the injections like an assembly line and you're in and out with very little contact with her.

She did not listen to me regarding increased pain. After I completed the injections and was left with no relief and increased pain I was told by her assistant that there was nothing else she could do for me. She wasn't even professional enough to speak to me about her failed course of action. When I asked her assistant about speaking directly to her, I was told she just said there's nothing else she could do. Here I am 9 months later in terrible pain. I wish I had paid more attention to the reviews.

I saw Dr. Fetzer for a spine issue 2 weeks ago. Turns out from the x-ray that I have degenerative disc disease. She spent very little time in the exam room with me and as soon as I started asking questions, she referred me to her assistant, who answered all my questions at the time. She prescribed an MRI, which I had done a few days ago. Her assistant called to tell me Dr. Fetzer said there were "no red flags" on the MRI but that she would not give any more specifics over the phone.

So I'm forced to go in for a follow-up appointment just to get the results of the MRI! I've never encountered a doctor who would not give test results over the phone once an office visit has already been had! I understand if I started asking a million questions and the phone call extended beyond 5 or 10 minutes that it might be appropriate to request I make a follow-up appointment, but otherwise I find this ridiculous and I will be looking for a new spine doctor, especially given the other negative reviews on Yelp. It seems to me a way for her to make more money and force patients to use more of their precious time and money rather than her spending 5 minutes on the phone with them.

Do not waste your time. She does not listen to their patients problems. Basically she told me in my face that if I was not happy with Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush treatment (or lack of it) to go and seek another clinic. Me and my wife were treated by other doctors at the same facility for other reasons and there was no issues, so it's not the clinic it's her plain bad professionalism.

Dr. Fetzer is very knowledgeable but uncaring physician. She is very regimented in running her appointments and surgery schedule but has little understanding or compassion for individuals with complex medical conditions. I was reprimanded for canceling surgical procedures days in advance due to illness and the death of a loved one. It is obvious she makes her money scheduling procedures off-site at the Same Day Surgery Center and hates cancels because she loses money.

She truly didn't care about the medical conditions or the death in my family which precluded me from having a procedure that would eliminate chronic pain. Seek help from a caring physician not one who is only in it to make money.

Worst physician ever. Don't waste your time. She does not listen to a patient's needs. She insisted I should have epidurals and injections for my herniated disc. I wanted physical therapy and she would not agree to that request. Luckily, I changed doctors received proper physical therapy and my back is in the best shape ever. No surgery, no injections.

I wasted hours waiting for her and of course, she always wants a repeat appointment and an appointment must be made to even ask a question. She will not answer anything over the phone. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

I love Dr. Fetzer! I have been experiencing a tremendous amount of pain in my lower back/hips. I went to another orthopedic doctor prior to my visit with Dr. Fetzer, and was less than thrilled with how I was treated. Within minutes of visiting Dr. Fetzer, I knew that I was at the right place. She listened to me, and really cared about what I had to say.

She quickly diagnosed my issue, and knew a plan of action that would be most effective in my treatment without surgery. She was awesome! My whole visit to Dr. Fetzer was a breeze. Her front office staff was nice, and the ease of online preregistration was an added bonus! Highly recommend her (and her staff) for all your ortho needs!
