Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Expert diagnosis and treatment with a smile.
Check in and a warm welcome by staff in a comfortable waiting area was appreciated. I only waited a few minutes to see Dr. Michelov. He was honest and direct about what my options are for my teatment and how to proceed with surgical prep. should I decide to get the surgery. This helped me feel more in control of my treatment, care and rehab activities.

Great results
The staff at Dr. Michelov’s office got me in quickly after I was hit by a drunk driver. Dr. Michelov accurately diagnosed my injuries and treated me for several weeks. Everything is now resolved and doing great. He is friendly and caring and explains himself well. I definitely recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

The Best Orthopedic Doctor ever!
Was a little Leary at first to go. I don’t know many Doctors here in S.Florida. I had an appt., went to see Dr.Michelov and I had never felt so comfortable. Took the time to explain to me why, and how I needed to replace my Rt. Hip. He takes time to explain everything, no rush like you are just another number. You call with questions , no push 1 push 2 etc. phones are answered and Ayana is wonderful everything done to perfection. I recommend Dr.Michelov very highly. The best ever! God willing he stays here because if I need any other orthopedic surgery he will be the first one to call. I highly recommend him!

Follow up...Surgery was NOT performed.
Good so far. I confirmed surgery today at 2 PM...not sure if I want/need it, follow up...we spoke on the phone around noon...and decided that the risks of a 77 year old (me) going under general anesthesia is greater than the risk of surgery...so we decided against it! I was really impressed by the doctor's willingness to talk with me and family members...and to change direction so soon before the planned surgery. Thank you -

Surgeon who does not put surgery first.
I have two bad knees. I have had arthroscopic surgery on both and an ACL replacement after on my right knee about 20 years ago. I had gone to an orthopedic surgeon a year before and was told I need to have a knee replacement within the year and sooner than later. He gave me a cortisone injection and for over a year I felt good without any pain. The pain came back and I went to Dr. Michelov. He told me that he would like me to try cortisone injection followed with physical therapy to build up the strength in my legs and knees. Truly impressed that he cared about me getting well and not doing a surgery now. He also has the greatest personality as does his office staff. He does everything from taking the X-ray to looking at the X-ray and then explaining and showing you everything and going over it with you. I was so impressed that prior to leaving I called my husband and set up an appointment for him. I was referred to him by a very good friend and I am very impressed with his integrity!

We see Dr. Michelov every three months and always look forward to these appointments. He is the most caring and proficient orthopedic surgeon we have ever dealt with and in the past four years we have seen four others, and none can compare to Dr. Michelov.

The most amazing Doctor our family has ever had. Kind, compassionate, patient, easy to talk to, explains everything on a level one can understand, and knowledgeable, are just a few of the words I can use to describe him. From the moment he came to my moms hospital bed till even now in her follow up visits, he has taken the time to listen and explain everything to us. His skill as a surgeon to repair her fractured hip and elbow is beyond what we could have expected. He has a gift of not only being a great surgeon, but a loving and caring man. His staff is also incredible. They make every effort to accommodate my moms needs. The office is immaculate and easy to access. If I could be so bold to say this, he truly has been an angel to my mom and our entire family.

Dr. Michelov has been treating me for over 4 years for orthopedic issues , he performed a right hip replacement for which has been successful, No problems. I can walk great. He was with Community Orthopedics when he performed my hip surgery , I could have stayed with the group for my knee issues and follow-up on my hip but I chose to continue my care with Dr. Michelov at his new practice. He has kept my knees going, as I had torn miniscus in both of them, but if I need knee replacements I would have them done by Dr M.. I am from Connecticut and my knee surgeries were performed by excellent orthos, Dr. Krispis Keggi and Dr. Michael Kaplan of which Dr. Michelov is of the same caliber. Do your research choose the best for your orthopedic issues, Dr. Michelov is one of them.

Dr. Yehuda Michelov ooerated on my smashed wrist in July. I just had my 2nd follow up visit with x ray. Dr Michelov did an amazing job on my wrist. I had never broken anything before, but if I do again, will definitely have Dr Michelov for my Doctor. The office staff is wonderful, too. They are pleasant, make you feel comfortable during the pandemic, and are efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Michelov and his staff.

18 months ago, I was blessed the night Dr. Micholov was on duty. He performed emergency surgery lasting into the wee morning hours to repair a broken tibia/Fibula. Inserted a rod, plate & screws. In spite of my injuries, Dr Michelov's optimism & energy, even at that late hour, was not lost on me. I have seen him regularly for follow-ups and recently had some screws removed from the area. His office is new & clean, and runs very efficiently. Calls are answered, & returned by a very courteous staff. He recently added an in-house X-ray making the diagnostic test and his review one-stop. God Bless you Dr. Michelov and I wish you much success at your practice.

I experienced a fall with multiple femur fractures. Being an excellent surgeon he did a most appropriate surgical repair. Follow up X-ray reveals complete healing. He has a wonderful bedside manner. Extremely knowledgeable. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend him to everyone. I worked as. PA for 40 years. Served in the USAF and upon retirement worked in an ED for 20+ years. I have many years of experience working with and knowing many physicians. Dr Michelov is one of the very best.

Dr. Yehuda Michelov is everything you want (but so but rarely find) in a surgeon. He is compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, an excellent active listener, totally responsive, and also friendly. The truth is he really cares about each patient as a person. And he treats his patients with respect as I have never had to be in the waiting room for more time than it took to sign in. Just a brief example. I went to him after a fall in which I suffered multiple injuries. Although he is not treating my hand, I had a question about my pinky and had been so impressed with him at my first visit, I wanted his advice. I called late on a Friday afternoon. Yana, his assistant (who is also great) said he had left for the day but he would call me back Monday. I was very grateful. I was stunned when 10 minutes later he called because he did not want me to worry all weekend! Call him. 754-229-6886.
