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. Hermansdorfer is completely knowledgeable of the field. Provides complete services from problem analysis to surgery. He has been my Dr. for many years and through several surgeries. I always return when I have a new issue.

The most unprofessional doctors office I have ever dealt with. If they don't want to treat you, they just quit answering the phone or returning your calls.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hermansdorfer’s since he first opened his office. He has treated family members as well. He’s the absolute best and I will never go to another surgeon. Bless him.

I knew I was in the presence of Genius. my wrist surgery included a titanium plate and 11 screws as he reconstructed the joint I play guitar and My strumming hand is very fast. I can tell no difference today and it is 10 years later I could not be more impressed.

Very disappointed in his staff. I did all the running around to get the paperwork they needed and the.n told at the door he cannot help and no assistance in finding someone who could. Tiffany was very cold not her problem not her concern.

Sure this is a good doctor but his secretary Tiffany was extremely rude she told me he was a ankle specialist then said that he wasn't a specialist for ankles I am very confused and she said that this is how we do it in Florida well you understand that you can't be unprofessional to people that want to become new patients I think she needs to work on her people skills even though she is from Florida.

I became a patient of Dr. John Hermansdorfer in January of this year when my local doctor referred me due to a shoulder injury. I couldn’t be more impressed with him, his entire staff, the surgical center, and the Coastline therapy center where Dr. H and team referred me for healing after surgery. In short, every part of my journey from diagnosis to healing has been amazing. This entire team cares for you, and about you. Thank you for healing me!

I expected to be seeing this doctor for an injury when I made my appointment but was sent to the PA, Margaret Avilla. I found Margaret to be extremely degrading to my situation & myself in general. She seemed to be disinterested in my well being and my injury and at one point even told me to suck it up. I was extremely upset & disheartened with this experienced and felt my injury and symptoms were not being taken seriously. Never in my life have I had such a negative experience with a PA.
