    Dr. Peterson was personable and knowledgeable. He explained everything to me in easy to understand terms. I felt much better leaving than when I arrived. X-rays were easy. The office staff were friendly and helpful. Overall it was a very good experience.

    I am so excited about finding Dr Abeywardene for my hand surgeon! Jenna his assistant is the first person you see and she is delightful, kind and knowledgeable ! And Dr A did a tendon repair on my right hand and from the very start I was explained the exact procedure in detail and I went home in a few hours with no pain and now 2 weeks post op my hand feels great with minimal scar! Awesome experience and I highly recommend Dr. A! Also the palm beach surgical suites where he did the surgery was wonderful ! Thank you so much!

    This was my first cv consultation with Dr. BAYNHAM after he had received the results of my recent MRI. He not only studied the radiologist report and downloaded theCD of the MRI, he c ame to the exam room prepared fully as he even had studied fifteen years of other MRI's and treatments by other orthos. He was very patient, asked many questions, examined my lower back._although he had many patients i was amazed he was taking his time. He detailed the Mri and pointed out some issues which caught his eye not mentioned in the report. He recommended next steps and after discussing and explaing them as options, we agreed on a plan. I have seen 6 othoorpedists in the past16 years and consider his demeanor, insights and gentle, informed approach vastly superior

    It has been nearly a year since my surgery on April 30, 2025. On that day, Dr. Seltzer operated on my right middle finger for a trigger finger release, and I cannot say enough good things about him and his surgical team; they performed their jobs flawlessly. Dr. Seltzer is the kind of doctor who makes you feel completely comfortable from the moment you meet him. I also want to recognize his wonderful office staff. Haley, a sweet medical assistant, always greets you with a smile and truly cares about you as a person. She takes the time to document your concerns thoroughly and prepares everything for the next stage of the visit. That leads to Jeanine P., the Physician Assistant, who also supports the surgical center. Her professionalism and knowledge gave me such peace of mind, knowing I was in the hands of people who truly know what they’re doing. One year later, my hand is back to 100% functionality, and you can’t even see a scar. We are so lucky in Palm Beach County to have such an experienced team of doctors and staff to meet our orthopedic needs—which, as we know, seem to increase as we get older!

    I’m very impressed with Dr. Shaw. He doesn’t pull any punches and doesn’t paint a picture of a bed of roses. He gives you the pros in the cons and then let you make up your own mind.
