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.
