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.

Dr. Baitner is the BEST
Dr. Baitner and his team provided exceptional care for my son’s clubfoot diagnosis, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I first sought a consultation while pregnant, and while some doctors wouldn’t meet before birth, Dr. Baitner did. He took the time to answer my questions, ease my concerns, and reassure me that everything would be okay. This support was invaluable, especially when my son spent three weeks in the NICU; one less worry during an already stressful time.Dr. Baitner strikes the perfect balance between subject matter expertise, emotional support, and direct communication. His team, especially Raul and Laz, is incredibly compassionate and dedicated to guiding families through every step of the process. While there have been a few longer-than-expected wait times at appointments, it’s a small price to pay for such outstanding care.I only recommend Dr. Baitner when parents ask us for a Pediatric Orthopedic doctor in Florida!

Great Doctor and Excellent Communicator
My son was put under Dr. Baitner's care after a nasty wrestling accident left him with a fractured and dislocated elbow. It was pretty bad. Dr. Baitner and his team operated, patched-up my son's elbow and managed and his recovery during the months that followed masterfully. Dr. Baitner took the time to thoughtfully answer our questions and did so in a manner that we all could understand. We are truly BLESSED that God placed Dr. Baitner to help my son.

Doctor Avi is wonderful. An excellent professional and a great human being. He puts the patient above all else and follows up on the case as if he were the only one. He gave me all the possible options to cure my son, emphasizing the one he considered best, putting the child first, so that he would have the opportunity to continue his growth and development in the most natural way possible for his situation. . I always felt that he is a doctor by vocation and is not thinking about the money that a patient can bring, but about the way in which the child recovers as well as possible. I am more than satisfied with the result of my son's recovery and I thank Dr. Avi and his team for that. They were all wonderful. Thank you very much. They are a! 10!

Amazing, Thoughtful, Compassionate & Talented!
We have been blessed to have been placed in Dr. Baitner‘s care after Dr Tidwell retired. Our son had some challenging surgeries that as a parent really had us guessing the best way forward. Dr. Baitner and his team of highly skilled members took the time to listen to our concerns and showed us the best path forward which made sense. We were fortunate to have an amazing outcome from our sons surgeries. We cannot praise them enough and would recommend Dr. Baitner to anyone who has pediatric orthopedic needs. Highly skilled, technologically advanced, and compassionate above all. They made us feel completely at ease with these very high level surgeries our son had to have. Our son has fully recovered, is walking so much better due to his surgeries, and we have again Dr. Baitner and his team to thank. Truly blessed, highly recommend!!!

After having a very poor experience at another children’s hospital we were blessed to come across Dr. Baitner. He not just fixed the wrong doing from the other Dr . But he did in a very caring and honest way. My daughter and I were very happy with the amazing results. We now can focus on her recovery.

Dr. Baitner started treating our daughter at 11 days old. We are now at 17 months. From the moment we met Doctor Baitner, there was no doubt that he would be the doctor to help and guide us through with our diagnosis of clubfoot. Treatment started immediately. He was clear, compassionate and meant business when it came to our daughter's correction (which has been achieved). He is well versed in the most promising method used to treat the condition. We are thankful and forever indebted to his mission and dedication. We see it and experience it at each appointment with our daughter. Each procedure recommended has brought us closer to our daughter's correction. Office staff and environment is second to none. We feel blessed coming to our appointments and in having a doctor that we trust and respect. Thank you Doctor Baitner and your wonderful staff.

Dr. Baitner is a very knowledgeable orthopedic surgeon. He has performed 3 surgeries on our son, all with unbelievable results! He believes in our son and any future possibilities. He takes time to understand the situation and recommends the best option(s). He is passionate about his work and takes time to interact with his patients. I have recommended Dr. Baitner and they are also very pleased with his practice. We travel across the state due to his expertise!

Before Dr. Baitner, we went to two orthopedic doctors only for them to tell us my son's tipping toeing was a neurological condition due to his autism and that there was nothing they could do. We weren't going to accept this so we began our research and came across Dr. Baitner who just from seeing him was able to diagnose him and gave us the option of surgery. My 15 year old son is walking on his heels for the 1st time in his life and that is thanks to Dr. Baitner. We are forever grateful.
