Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have no personal knowledge about this doctor, but my husbandf went to him and he is on Fletcher Avenue. His name is Ed Homan. I believe he has done some work with the athletics department.Thought!!!! Why not contact the med staff at USF athletic facility and see if they can make a recommendation?Homan is on staff at USF now, but he's also a state legislator -- so he might not be available.

He was awesome. He is a perfectionist in his work. He tells it like it is, doesn't hide anything and makes you work hard during rehab. Great guy and great Dr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a new partner, Dr. Nefsinger, who is also very good. SMART institute is part of USF health so you may not face some of the insurance problems that have been encountered at FOI.Dr. Guttentag is also a very skilled surgeon located on BBdowns, North of Bearss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smazza Posted January 11, 2007 Group: Member Topic Count: 9,898 Content Count: 66,091 Reputation: 2,434 Days Won: 172 Joined: 01/01/2001 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I am looking for an orthopedic surgeon. I was seeing a Dr. in St. Pete, but I didn’t like his “bed side†manner and he was 3 hours late to both my appointments. I can not use any doctor in the Florida Orthopedic Institute, as my insurance won’t pay for them since its “their mistake†and I prefer not to use Dr. Guttentag’s office. The doctor must be in Tampa (no Pinellas or Pasco). Any good or bad expierences with doctors would be useful- I have already had a major surgery 4 years ago with a college soccer injury and my metal is pushing itself out of my leg and I need a doctor that can remove and replace, and leave minimal scaring. The 1st dr. did an amazing job with leaving minimal scaring even with the amount of work they did for a total reconstruction.Help an injured Bull out JGET OUT OF TAMPA AND GO TO A BIG CITY WHERE THE BEST DOCTORS ARE LOCATEDNY OR LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
