I feel incredibly blessed to be under the care of Dr. Roach. The care I have received is more than worth the 6 hour drive from my home. Krissa (physical therapy) is phenomenal. There are no words to cypress my appreciation & gratitude for these two professionals.

UF Health Orthopedic is definitely convenient. It's close by and they already have all of my medical and insurance records on file. I felt as though they really encourage x-rays regardless of whether the patient needs one or not which I thought was odd. But regardless it was a quick and painless experience. Dr. Roach was very kind and explained my situation thoroughly and with empathy.
