Dr. Caldwell and his team are fantastic. From the way the office is run to my evaluation, shoulder surgery and postop visits... it was VIP service all the way. Dr. Caldwell explained what he was planning to do to repair my torn bicep and shredded rotator cuff. It was all exactly as he described. My postoperative period was with minimal discomfort. And the best part... my outcome is 100% improvement. I can't thank Dr. Caldwell and his staff enough. Highly recommended.

Dr. Caldwell repaired my ACL with cadaver tissue two months after I injured it, and I am currently 10 weeks post-op and doing great! The surgical scar is very small, and his repair was so flawless that I never need the narcotics post-op. The staff at Florida Institute of Orthopedic Surgical Specialists were very helpful and compassionate (a special thank you to Marybeth and Maryellen for taking extra time to answer all of my many questions)! I absolutely recommend Dr. Caldwell and his team for ACL repair!

Dr. Caldwell just repaired my rotator cuff and I've had minimal pain. Very thorough and so knowledgeable. His follow up and genuine concern for his patients is second to none. His staff are great, always available and accommodating. Nice office with ample parking, easy access. Would definitely recommend for any orthopedic issues.

Dr. Caldwell performed extensive shoulder surgery on me, with great results and a smooth recovery. I never had to waited more that 5 minutes in the waiting room before I was escorted to a patient room. I was then seen by Dr. Caldwell within 5 - 10 minutes every single visit. Dr. Caldwell always spent plenty of time diagnosing, explaining options and post surgery, insuring a good recovery. Dr. Caldwell’s team was awesome, from the front desk staff, to the nurses, and the physician assistant.

Dr. Caldwell gave me straight and honest advice after a relatively long consult. Most through exam after seeing 3 other surgeons. His surgical practices where top notch, very strict attention to sanitary conditions and patient comfort. It is 90 days later and he and his staff is still providing excellent direction and advice during rehabilitation.

Dr. Caldwell and his team successfully performed arthroscopic surgery on my left knee in 2012 and on my right knee in 2017. I was pain free with full strength in my knees within a few weeks after each surgery. Dr. Caldwell and his team are 5-star experts, and are very professional, responsive, punctual and organized.
