Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best surgery I've had.
My experience with Dr. Handal was very interesting. I thought at first that he was just going for the money. I found I was incorrect. Once I stopped and saw what he saw with the x-ray's, I saw he knew what he was doing and I was very happy to see that. I was walking the day of surgery. I have recovered well without any complications. No infections or anything negative. I am very satisfied with my results! I recommend him for hip surgery based on my experience.

Honest, Caring and thorough
I’ve dealt with several Florida doctors who cannot wait to get you on the table to cut you. Dr. Handal is not one of them. He goes to extreme measures to treat you to avoid surgery. I recommend him highly.

I had confidence he was good but 2 years after arthroscopic surgery and stem cell therapy He recommended highly and $5000.00 later my knee hurts. Saw another orthopedic doctor and was told that the stem cell is a sham. So I would not recommend him for my dog .

Dr Handal has been my dr for one year. He did tkr and I am very happy with the results. Staff is wonderful and highly recommend him. He takes all his measurements before doing surgery/ not like other drs lets do surgery. Very understandable and thorough. His office staff is amazing. Highly recommend him. Thank you for giving me a new knee.

Dr Handal cares little for his patients. He rests on his reputation and will not acknowledge his failures. Unfortunately, his failures demonstrate his lack of knowledge and skills and this is when his patients need him the mostime. Run.
