I had Knee replacement surgery in May 2023. I am a 76 year old female and was concerned about what would happen after the surgery. Dr B asked me what my expectations were and I hadd the answer ready. "I want to play pickleball again, I wanted to be able to bowl again and I wanted play tennis again". Happily after 3 months I was on the courts and the lanes. Dr Buchalter did a fantastic job and honestly so did 1st PT was tough and relentless but a big neccesity. Highly recommend Dr Buchalter, And for those who find themselves waiting past their appointment time to be seen remember it could be you he is spending time with while others wait.

Dr David Buchalter is the most wonderful surgeon. On the 17th of February he performed total hip replacement and change my life. I was unable to sit, to walk and to sleep. After surgery, which was done perfectly I am a new person now. I feel at least 30 years younger and I can do things which I was unable to do for at least last three years.

I was referred to Dr Buchalter by my Internist. I had my right knee replaced and after 5 weeks, with twice a week physical therapy at their facilities, I am almost pain free and doing all normal movements, like walking, swimming, etc.

All went according to Dr Bucholder's predictions. I highly recommend him and the Physical Therapy Staff.

G B

Dr David Buchalter I recommend highly. He performed outpatient arthroscopic knee surgery on my torn meniscus on 2/10/22. He explained in depth, at a preop visit, the surgery process and patiently answered my questions. The surgery was a success. I am pain free and doing my physical therapy, post op, as needed. I salute Him. Your search is over.

It has been over a year since Dr. Buchalter replaced my right hip. It has been a blessing and I was fortunate to have a great surgeon.

J H

Dr. Buckhalter performed a total hip replacement on my right hip on July 15. I had my left hip done in 2013 by another surgeon which resulted in my legs being totally uneven. Dr. Buckhalter totally fixed the problem and when I stand up straight, both legs are exactly even. I totally recommend him. He is THE BEST!

I am so very happy to have met Dr. Buchalter, where in less than one year he operated on both my knees. Full knee replacement with fantastic miraculous recovery and now I’m freely walking with no pain. This Doctor is the best in the USA and the world in his field. God Bless Dr. Buchalter and his staff. Highly recommend him, eyes closed.

3 months ago I had surgery done on the bad arthritis in my knee. I was very well taken care of and 3 months later I can walk without pain. I'd recommend Dr Buchalter to anyone, he's very capable.

S N

I went in to see Dr Buchalter with the worst pain in my life . It was very hard to explain where the pain was my buttocks and my side like my hip. It happened out of nowhere I had no injury no nothing never had this before. He located it knew what it was in less than 10 minutes. Gave me a shot and let me tell you 24 hours later I am pain-free. God bless him.

L K

Dr. Buckhalter took the time to help me with my knee issues. I had Lyme arthritis and it destroyed my knee joint. He conferred with my Lyme specialist while I was present and he took the time to come up with a plan. Along with me and the specialist and himself. Dr. Buckhalter did my total knee replacement. He took his time in telling me what to expect. He educated n informed but didn’t rush me. I knew I needed the surgery, I was limping n falling down! Side note ( I care for my son Jimmy who is disabled from a brain tumor when he was a baby) he’s 27 now and needs care 24/7. I needed my legs to work if I was to care for Jimmy! Dr. Buckhalter did my surgery and I am ....... HAPPY TO SAY I am 6 weeks post op surgery and lovingly and happily taking care of my son again!! Dr. B is passionate about his work! That’s what I want in a Dr. he’s happy to see me at my appts. And shakes my hand when he tells me each X-ray looks great!! And I’ve seen them!! My hand in his, gives me the chills because to me he is performing miracles! And just knowing what those hands have done for me?? Wow!! Thank you Dr. Buckhalter keep up the great work!! I thank you n so does my son Jimmy!!

Dr. Buchalter doesn't rush to surgery. It took 2 years before he said I really was ready and needed to have the hip replaced. Now I had him check my knee and again no surgery; it's my arthritis and spine causing the pain and he just suggested physical therapy and a special strip under the knee for support. That's a fair, honest and caring physician not rushing to cut. Thank you for all you have helped me with.

Dr Buchalter replaced my left hip April 10th. I am now walking without any pain for the first time in many months. I would recommend him to anyone requiring a hip replacement. Thank you Dr Buchalter

referred by a friend. Didnt rush me into surgery but when medication and Therapy failed, he replaced my knee. He told me EXACTLY what to expect and his staff was great. I have no pain and am playing golf 2 months later.

I was lucky enough to be referred to Dr. Buchalter by my internist.However, being that I am someone who likes to check out my doctors reputation,I started asking friends and family members,if they had any recommendations on an excellent orthopedic surgeon. Dr.Buchalter's name repeatedly kept coming up,as the best hip and knee orthopedist.I went to see him, and was greeted by a wonderful staff.Once I was in the exam room, Dr.Buchalter answered all my questions,told me exactly what was going on,and offered me alternative choices for treatment.He recommended medication, cortisone shots, and physical therapy.It helped for awhile.Then I decided it was time for surgery.It was a breeze.My hip feels like new again, and I am now living pain free. Thank you for all your help.Dr. Buchalter.You are the best!!!!

I had my knee replaced by a so called superspecialist. It never was right. I saw Dr. BUCHALTER as a second opinion. He figured out what the problem was and performed the second surgery. I had less pain right after the surgery and knew that he had done a great job. Within a month I was back on the golf course. Thanks Dr. B

Dr. Buchalter did an excellent job in giving me a complete knee replacement. He answered all my questions and concerns. Five weeks after surgery I am walking with no pain . Thank You I would highly recommend Dr. Buchalter for anyone needing hip or knee surgery.

Source :

I came to Dr Buchalter because of my orthopedist is NY. He treated me with medication and Physical therapy and told me that I could have surgery when I could not walk more than 2 blocks without pain. He replaced my hip from the front. I was walking the next day and went home. I am back to golf and have zero pain. His staff is great and I recommend him to my friend. He also replaced my neighbors knee and she did just as well!

Source :

I was limping and saw several other doctors who told me it was my hip, my back or my knee. I saw Dr Buchalter. He did a complete physical and told me the problem was from my hip. He gave me a shot under xray and my pain disappeared. 6 months later he recommended hip replacement. He did it the new way from the front. I walked the next morning and went home in two days with only a cane. I was driving in a week and playing golf in a month. Do not consider going anywhere else.

Source :

I am an 81 year old man who got his life back thanks to Dr. Buchalter..Had hip replacement surgery 8 weeks ago.Walking with no cane after 5 weeks, back to the gym after 6 weeks. Hoping for tennis at 10 weeks. The Dr.is thorough and answers questions truthfully. I like him a lot.

Source :

Recommended by my neighbor. Dr Buchalter explained the problem and gave me choices. When shots and PT didn't work, he suggested a knee replacement! He answered all my questions. The surgery was better than expected. 3 weeks afterwards I threw away my cane and after 6 weeks I was playing golf. The scar was nearly invisible! Better than my friends who had surgery elsewhere! Don't go elsewhere

Source :

I came to Dr. Buchalter after being referred by someone in my development. The office was very professional and Dr. Buchalter explained everything quite clearly. He gave me numerous options and treated my knee conservatively for three months. When it continue to get worse he explained that I could have surgery and there was a very good chance I could have significant improvement. He said I may not be perfect but I would certainly have an excellent chance of being better. He performed a new replacement and in a matter of two weeks I was walking with a cane and in four weeks I was walking without a cane and was in no pain. It's hard to believe that I was suffering for such a long time before Dr. Buchalter save my life. I would recommend everyone to him. He's a great doctor with great bedside manner and his staff is excellent.

I needed a hip replacement. I saw several doctors in the area and had Dr B do my surgery. He spent a lot of time explaining the surgery and did the Anterior Replacement. I went home the day after surgery and threw away the cane in a week. My limp is gone. I cant believe how easy this was. his office was great. They called me in the hospital to check on me and made sure I had everything I needed when I got home. No need to go anywhere else!!

Source :

Do yourself a favor, visit Dr. Buchalter before you let anyone else do it. Most everyone I talk to is astonished over my results; mobility, lack of pain, early resumption of activities.

Source :

I would like everyone thinking about hip replacement to just book one visit with Dr B. My experience was so wonderfully pleasant and totally stress free that I cannot stop talking about it. The Dr and his staff could not have been more cordial and informative. I have the same high respect for the nursing home Vi at Lakeside,Lantana. Their staff pulled me through with ease during recovery and rehab. I have had NO pain since and recommend the combination of excellent care by both. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.

Dr. B is a very caring, competent Dr. the office is efficient and well run.

the professional and technical quality of this surgeon was outstanding

The surgeon you select for knee replacement is your most important decision. I am a 75 year old diabetic patient and could not walk. As I write this it is one month and 10 days since surgery. I walk without a walker or cane, with a perfectly healed scar and very little pain. David Buchalter is brilliant. This is the surgeon you are looking for. He only does minimally invasive computer aided surgery that gives fast recovery and minimizes the pain involved. He is Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at Delray Medical. What an amazing result and a great doctor.

Source :

I recently had anterior hip replacement surgery done by David N. Buchalter, MD at Delray Medical Center. The results were excellant. Dr. Buchalter and his staff were very professional and answered all my questions. I am very happy with the results of this surgery. Also, the staff at Delray Medical Center helped and aided by speedy recovery. They were very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Buchalter and Delray Medical Center.

Source :

All I can say is Dr. Buchalter gave me my life back! Having had knee problems forever, I never realized how it impacted the rest of my life. By the time I saw Dr. Buchalter to schedule a total knee replacement, I was fairly incapacitated. My back was so bad as well as my knee that I could not walk more than a half a block. I was reduced to using a motorized wheelchair anywhere I went. It is 2 weeks and 1 day since my surgery. I was in the hospital for two days only, left feeling better than I have in years. I am already walking pretty well without the assistance of a walker or cane. Therapists come and are amazed at my mobility and range. I am only getting therapy once a week but could have all I want with great insurance. I just don't need it. There is pain, do not get me wrong. The pain is no where as bad as when I started though and all of my horrific back pain is gone as well as my bowed in leg. I am so indebted to Dr. Buchalter for all he has done for me. I plan on doing my other leg in a short time and would not consider any other doctor than him. His staff is wonderful and patient. They answer all of your questions and are extremely organized. Love his bedside manner and the fact that he spends time with you when visiting in the hospital. You can't go wrong using this doctor- Excellent in every aspect!!!!

Source :

I needed my hip replaced. A lot of my friends were going to a doctor who was going to give them this brand new great hip. Dr Buchalter said he did not want to use that hip because it was too new and sometimes the hip can fail. He was 100% correct. 3 of my friends had to have a second surgery because the hip poisoned them. I was out of pain within 10 days and dancing in a month! I would NEVER consider going elsewhere for a hip or knee problem!!

Source :

I had the worst fear walking in to Dr. Buchalter's office and after five minutes into the consultation all my fears were gone. He is amazing. The office staff are all great. I trust in him and I am confident in his ability. Thank you Dr. Buchalter and Thanks to your wonderful staff. OUTSTANDING experience!

I needed a knee replacement,as i had serious damage. The surgery went like clockwork,and the knee is now in A+ shape.

Source :

Dr Buchalter has done both of my knees and i feel like a new woman. very good doctor!.

Source :

Correct diagnosis, very friendly and his staff is wonderful. Barbara explained the process to me clerly and helped me schedule my surgery. I was walking without knee pain after a month and a half. None of my other friends who had the same surgery had such wonderful results. I highly recommend!.

Source :

I found Dr. Buchalter's name after reading about him in The Top Docs in Boca Raton. He told me about this minimally invasive knee replacement. Well I don't know how he did it but he did the surgery through a four inch incision. I was up walking the next day and driving after 2 weeks. I got rid of my cane and had basically no pain in less than a month. When my friends see me walk they can't believe how great I am doing. Sometimes I have had to wait 30 minutes to see him in the office. But that is no big deal. I wish he had done my other knee replacement. I had some big name doctor do it 3 years ago and I still have pain!!

Source :

Dr. Buchalter is the best orthopedic surgeon in the country, hands down. I have suffered from terrible knee problems for the last 10 years. I had heard horror stories about knee replacement and kept trying to put it off. Finally, Dr. Buchalter told me that I was out of options and then he carefully explained exactly what he would do and how what he does is different from a regular knee replacement. He told me he would do a smaller incision replacement and use computer navigation to insure the implant was placed perfectly. He told me my recovery time would be a lot less and I would have less pain than with traditional surgery. I was skeptical, but then I talked to some of his other patients who had it done and they said it was not too bad and had been home in 4 days and could walk long distances with no pain at all. Everyone I spoke to said how amazing he was. Well, here I am now telling all of you how wonderful he is. I had the surgery and it all happened like he said and not only can I walk with no pain, I can ride a bike, play golf and I feel great! If you have knee problems, Dr. Buchalter is who you need to see, trust me on this.

Source :

Dr. Buchalter performed a difficult knee revision on my right knee in early December, 2018. My partial knee device had to be removed and my bones had to be rebuilt before the full knee device could be inserted. He did an outstanding job despite the difficult circumstances. He is at the top of the class when it comes to knee replacement. I highly recommend him.

Source :

Dr. B is a caring no nonsense orthopedic surgeon. I was impressed that he didn’t rush me into doing any surgery. But when I wasn’t getting better I had him replace my hip. He explained everything clearly. he made sure I was well prepared. After I had the surgery,I was out of the hospital the next day using only a cane which I got rid of by the end of the week. I will definitely recommend him.

Source :

A great hip doctor! So pleased with my results and I really appreciated his no non-sense approach. Would highly recommend!

Source :

Well in short Dr. Buchalter did my very first by lateral hip surgery at the age of 14. Not only is he passionate, but he is very in detail. he is a straight shooter wont lead you on. Not only did he do a great job on me, but he has done surgeries on my father and numerous family members. It's not often can you find a doctor you can trust. He's not only an excellent surgeon, he is a part of the family.

Source :

Dr. Buchalter is a excellent physician. He is very caring, answers all your questions and has a great staff. His surgical skills are above excellent. My husband and Mother have had both their knees replaced and I have a my left hip replaced. No complications at all. Recovery time was as discussed and the follow up care was very good. If you need knee or hip replacement this is the physician you should use!!!!!!!

Source :

Have no pain. Surgery went well, patient care was wonderful. He is a very considerate person.

Source :

Dr. Buchalter was really compassionate and caring when my husband had dementia and needed care one late Friday afternoon. He stayed late, took an x-ray and treated my husband with care, compassion and skill. I will never forget his skill and ability to understand our situation. Thank you so much!!!

Source :

Great doctor! I was told I was too young for a knee replacement by other doctors and spent years in pain. Dr. Buchalter listened to me, and took great care of me. My quality of life is very much improved.

Source :

I am delighted with the results of my full knee replacement. Dr. Buchalter explained the procedure prior to the surgery and gave me all the time to ask as many questions as I needed answered.

Source :

Before my mom broke her hip I knew nothing about hip surgery, I thought it was a very serious surgery. after meeting Dr.Buchalter he made me feel at ease and let me know that the surgery would be done before I knew it and she'd be up walking the same day, and she was thank god. seeing how bad in pain my mom was before the surgery vs after was a shocking. before she couldn't move her leg an inch without screaming and after the surgery she sat up to use the bathroom. Thank you Buchalter !

Source :

I never met him nor did I ever hear of him. The ambulance brought me into the Delray Hospital and was unaware of everything. At some point I found myself in an area with curtains around me when a most charming and caring man appeared and I was instantly calm. The man was Dr. Buchalter, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude. He is kind, caring, and a surgeon of great talent.

Source :

I've had a hip replacement and a knee replacement by Dr. Buchalter. I couldn't be happier with the results. His professionalism and his manner are second to none. His office and his office staff are the best a patient could hope for.

I had my Meniscus and other repairs made due to a work related injury by Dr Buchalter. He and his staff made the process a very pleasant experience considering my unfortunate accident. His impeccable skills and bedside manner are second to none in south Florida. I highly recommend him if you are considering a knee evaluation.

My husband was able to find the proper diagnosis for his leg pain through the persistent efforts of Dr. Buckhalter testing for several possible causes and finally being able to recommend treatment that will provide significant relief.

Dr Buchalter performed a perfect replacement of my left hip. The surgery was April 10. I went to his office today and had the staples removed from my incision. I am walking without pain and cleared by the doctor to drive today. I thanked him kindly for the great work and I would recommend him to anyone that required hip replacement. I have been without pain since last Saturday which is the first time in many months. Thank you again Dr Buchalter Joel Heitner Delray Beach, FL.

I had total hip replacement on March 15, 2018. Dr. B. used the anterior approach. My recovery and healing has been much faster than expected. I am already able to walk without a cane! The therapy 6 times per week at rehab (Sinai) was a big factor. And the recommended home PT followed with great results. You have to do what the Dr. and therapist say and you'll have similar results!

Source :

Would recommend to friends and family. Very friendly and takes his time explaining your condition in terms that you can understand.

Source :

Dr Buchalter diagnosed by problem in minimal time. Once I decided to have the surgery (hip replacement) it was set up and done within weeks. The procedure went smoothely, and I was back on my feet within 2 weeks of the surgery.

Source :

great doctor! I was referred by my neighbor! I was scared to have surgery, but Dr Buchalter took his time, answered my questions and didn't rush me into having a replacement. He tried some shots and Physical Therapy first and when it didn't help he said I could have surgery but it was not an emergency. When I got my knee replacement, he made sure that everything was taken care of. I went into rehab for a week since i live alone. I got rid of my cane after 4 weeks. I am glad I used Dr Buchalter

This was my second hip surgery, I had my right hip done 2011. This surgery was my left hip done Nov 11 2017. I was overly impressed with Dr. Buchalter, he gave me all the confidence I needed and took the time I needed to feel comfortable with him. I would highly recommend him and truly trust his judgement with any type of surgery he can and would perform. Thank you again DOC much hugs for your thoughtfulness and performance on these old bones.

I had both total knee replacements within a four year time period by Dr. Buchalter. If I were not satisfied with the doctor I would not have returned for the 2nd knee. Dr. Buchalter is up front with what to expect during and after surgery and is spot on. I had my surgery 01/16/2018, and I am happy to report I am walker free, cane free and pain free. Dr. Buchalter was recommended to me by a former patient and now I highly recommend Dr. Buchalter. Great doctor.

I had a total knee replacement on right knee. I was surprised and pleased how little pain I had post surgery. Dr. Buchalter showed me the xray a month later and pointed out how well the replacement fit which helped explain the lack of pain.

My husband Lloyd Rice came to dr. Buchalter that have his left knee replaced. We looked him up on the web and he appeared to have the best ratings we came so we drove from Wellington to Delray Beach.

Dr. Buchalter did revision surgery on my right hip replacement. He did an excellent job: I had very little pain, my recovery was very fast, and I now have more mobility than I ever had with the original replacement. I highly recommend this doctor.

I came into the office after falling in the shower. My knee. was swollen on down to my ankle. An X-ray was completed easily in the office to determine if anything was broken. Then Dr. Buchalter said that I needed to get another X-ray at a nearby facility to determine if I had a bloodclot. Luckily I went and it was a bloodclot.. I was admitted right into the hospital. Dr.Buchhalter saved my life.

Dr. Buchalter impressed me as a caring and skilled surgeon. His demeanor made me feel very confident about the procedure (hip replacement) that I was going to receive. His staff was excellent and my visits were very comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Buchalter.

Dr. Buchalter uses state of the art technology and a minimially invasive procedure for total knee replacement. I had my right knee replaced on April 25, 2016 at Delray Medical Center. Dr. Buchalter addressed all my concerns prior to my surgery and visited me in the hospital while I was there. He is extremely dedicated and passionate about his work. I had an excellent experience with my surgery and my recovery has been progressing well.

I originally visited Dr. Buchalter in 2014. He performed a total knee replacement of my left knee. After surgery I had minimal pain, no swelling or bruising and a quick recovery! Recently encountered a lot of pain with the right knee and I knew I was headed for another replacement. I would not even consider going to a different surgeon. I had surgery on April 17, 2017 and at 15 days post-op walking unassisted!!! In my book, DR. Buchalter is the Best in his field!!! Highly recommend!!!

Source :

Doctor Buchalter is a compassionate and experienced surgeon. Having replaced both of my knees over the last ten years ,I can only say I was extremely lucky to find him. Surgery is not his first option as his background is to thoroughly review all options and patient ability before a final diagnosis. I am so mobile to date that you would never know I had knee replacement surgery and the most painless recoveries.

Good Experence.. Two tough days then healed up quickly may do the right knee next as pt was not that hard or pain full. doctor knows his stuff and is very good in the follow up after the operation. good choice for knee replacement.

I had a total knee replacement done on Thursday January 19, 2017. On Wednesday of the following week I was mobile enough to walk on a walker to attend a meeting. My pain has been minimal and my recovery is coming along beautifully. If I had known it would have been this great I would have done it sooner. Great job and thanks so much for giving me my mobility back. John Gilmore (Delray Beach)

He performed Hip Replacement Surgery on me and gave me my Life back!! My Hip was uniquely contorted so I wanted someone who was experienced and would know what my Hip required and thankfully he was that surgeon. From the onset Dr. Buchalter was confident that he could help me but I remained very skeptical since no other Physician or Procedure had worked until then. Not only did he do as promised but did everything in his power to assist me in getting the Surgery completed before years end.

Message body Came in with a fairly bad complex tear to the medial meniscus and some misc things common with people my age and a sports background. He was thorough and before we knew it getting prepped for surgery. Funny and pleasant during pre-op. 1 wk follow up I finally found out what had been done and am amazed that could all be done through 3 small incisions. Stitches out and on my way back! Thanks Dr B.

Dr. Buchalter has been our (my wife and mine) Orthopedic Surgeon for over 10 years. He is one of the finest, most qualified doctors that we have ever met. He is responsible for 3 Total Joint replacements for both of us. He is always available, does not rush his patients, and he listens when we speak to him. We can recommend him to anyone who needs Orthopedic surgery. Jole

being 83 years old, I was a little aprehensive about surgery. The surgery went very well and here I am 2 months later walking without a walker or cane.

He waited until it was absolutely necessary to perform the surgery. He was careful and considerate about the incision and the scar it would leave. He explained all the steps of the surgery and the aftercare, and addressed all my concerns. A staff member immediately scheduled the surgery and followed up with more information and answers as to what to expect and what my options would be following the surgery.

I was very impressed with Dr. Buchalter and his associates from my initial visit to hospital and post-hospital follow-up. I had minimal discomfort with my knee replacement and was at 95% at 6 weeks post surgery.

Dr Meadows operated on my hand from a gunshot accident. Upon his arrival at the hospital he introduced himself and inquired if I had questions. My first question was have you checked with my insurance to make sure I’m covered. He responded with saying that this was an emergency and was not concerned about insurance or financial responsibility and that not to worry. He performed the surgery and after seeing the severe damage would have to operate again to incorporate a cadaver nerve graph for the hand to possibly function. He is an awesome surgeon as well an incredible human being. He successfully put me back together and I’m close to 100% recovery. I’m a musician and without my hand would never be able to use Gods talents he had given me again. His staff was in credible. His assistant Alan fielded phone call concerning prescriptions pain what I should do and not do. Dr Meadows billing department handled everything as well. Dr meadows also referred me to a physical therapist that has helped tremendously in my recouperating. I Truly believe Dr Meadows and his staff are at the apex of their profession and am honored to be associated with them.

I have been a patient of Dr. Meadows for at least 18 years...He's repaired numerous trigger fingers, carpel tunnel...torn rotator cuff and given me numerous shots for tendinitis in shoulder, finger, hand.....I can't say enough good things about him. He is kind, caring, patient and truthful. And an fabulous surgeon. Thank you Dr. M for always taking such good care of me and alleviating my fears prior to surgery.

My son is nine years old, I’ve been a nervous wreck ever since he had a bad accident at camp. We spent 5 days in Trauma ICU at Delray Medical with broke arm, dislocated elbow, and vein reconstruction. A big mess!! BUT I tell you being under Dr. Meadows care in the hospital made me feel secure that my son would heal just fine. Last week, we had a follow up with his office and LET me tell you, from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, you are treated with amazing care! You are in good hands! The appointment scheduler, check in lady, the MA, PT, X-ray Tech, and check out THE BEST! We had our visit with Dr. Toole, Dr Meadows, was out, but it’s a great feeling that they all made my son so comfortable! I called as soon as we left And spoke with Stephanie requesting how to leave a review, even she was so humble to know what I was doing.. Hands down, this office is blessed with a lot of great Doctors and staff!! I would refer anyone here, hoping they have a great experience like we did! Thank you all again, see you soon !

Dr. Meadows has been my orthopedic surgeon for 15 years. He has done two rotator cuff repairs on me and both were very successful. I also have sever arthritis that he treats me for, He is very kind and a very skilled surgeon. He always spends time with me and explains the treatments and he also works to keep me as pain free as possible where my arthritis is concerned. He even prescribes this amazing cream that is especially compounded for me. I am so lucky to have him as my doctor.

I hurt my hand/wrist and saw Dr. Meadows at the recommendation of a friend. It was super easy and fast to get an appointment with him! I didn't wait long in the waiting room and when I was called I went over some things with the assistant and then only about 5 more minutes to see the doc. He was patient and courteous and listened to everything I had to say. He recommended a cortisone shot which he did right then and there. He said to call him back in 3 days if there was any more pain, but that shot took care of it!

Dr. Meadows accurately diagnosed me, and got me back to work, after multiple other doctors failed. I am a professional dancer and was injured during a job. Because my pain was in my lower leg, at least 4 doctors in the Lancaster, PA area insisted that I had shin splints or compartment syndrome. After listening to me and examining me, Dr. Meadows said it was my back and not my leg that was injured. He confirmed this with an MRI and ordered physical therapy. Because of Dr. Meadows, I was recovered and ready when my next tour started. I would give him the highest recommendation to anyone who needed an orthopedic specialist.

Dr. Meadows is an amazing surgeon. He saved my leg after a terrible accident left me unable to walk. He is also very compassionate and truly cares about his patients. I have made a full recovery thanks to him.

Dr. Meadows is an amazing Doctor. Did a shoulder replacement on me in reverse when others told me I was not a candidate. He is gifted and I am better than ever! I highly recommend him!

I have been going to Dr. Steve Meadows for the past 17 years he has always treated me well I’ve had four surgeries by him and treatment for my severe osteoarthritis and I have never been dissatisfied he’s kind caring attentive he’s very good at what he does and he understands and is very conscious of his patients pain and wants them to be comfortable he’s a very good doctor I recommend him highly

My daughter is a professional dancer who was injured dancing during a summer job. She saw multiple physicians, including emergency medicine and orthopedic specialists in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area--including doctors associated with Penn State. Because her symptoms were in the lower leg, all her other doctors insisted it was either shin splints, or compartment syndrome of the lower leg. She spent about a month going to physical therapy for her leg, with no relief. When she saw Dr. Meadows, he listened to her symptoms, and examined her leg. Then he had her run a couple laps in the parking lot, and re-examined her. He said her injury was not in her leg, but in her lower back. He sent her for an MRI which identified a torn disc. Once Dr. Meadows correctly identified the problem that no one else seemed to be able to find, he sent her for physical therapy for her back, where she completely recovered. Because of him, she never skipped a beat in her career, leaving within a few months for her next tour. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Meadows, and would highly recommend him to anyone who needed an orthopedic specialist.

Dr. Meadows operated on my Mother 2 months ago with a shoulder replacement. I am amazed at how much mobility she has gotten back and she has little to no pain. She is so thrilled and so am I. Thank you Dr. Meadows.

Dr. Meadows is a fantastic surgeon. He did an amazing job saving my leg after a bad accident. I am truly grateful to him. I can walk because of him.

I needed Dr.Meadows urgently for an injured hand. Staff were extremely helpful, called me back within minutes, gave me an emergency appointment all within a half hour of me calling them to advise of my plight! I have the highest regard for the efficient and pleasant staff, without them being so caring I would have had to go to the E.R and probably have a 4 - 5 hour wait?? Dr. Meadows and his staff are THE BEST!!!

Excellent surgeon. Had a badly broken leg and he fixed it. Always very engaged and caring and took time to address my concerns as I recovered.

Source :

Dr. Meadows is a fine orthopedist as well as a fine human being. He is quite talented at diagnosis and treatment and he takes the time to explain the problem and what it takes to fix it. My wife and I were very pleased with his friendly attitude and his handling of the case.

Love Dr. Meadows. He has treated me for a fractured tibia and a few years later a broken wrist. Amazing recovery both times and he keeps you informed and doesn't treat you like a moron. Great guy.

Dr. Meadows cured my Carpal Tunnel. I had surgery after two years of misery. it was quick and really quite painless. The bonus is he is about 6'4 and GORGEOUS! Too bad I am cured - no not really but he is very cute!

Dr. Meadows is a Godsend. I hadn't been able to lift my arm above my head for 6 years. Dr. Meadows fixed my shoulder and now I am actually playing tennis again! He is amazing.

Dr Meadows is an excellent doctor. He cured my carpal tunnel syndrome when two other doctors didn't. I would suggest him to anyone and he is really nice too.

Dr. Meadows is a great surgeon. I suffered from severe arthritis in my shoulder for a long time. I was very afraid to have a shoulder replacement. Dr. Meadows listened to all my concerns and was very understanding. He treated me medically for a long time until I decided it was time and was always very patient and kind. Finally, the pain became totally unbearable and I reluctantly decided to have the operation. He knew how scared I was and he took a lot of time to tell me everything that would happen and what the recovery would be like. On the day I went to the hospital, he came to see me before the operation while they were getting me ready and put me totally at ease. He even made some jokes. When it was all over, he was right there to tell me I had done great and then he explained to my family in great detail what to expect. I am happy to say I have made a full recovery and my shoulder is great! I can do all the things I used to do, with no pain and I can sleep through the night. Dr. Meadows is gifted. You will not go wrong if you need him for an orthopedic problem. I send all my friends to him when they have problems.

Dr. Meadows is a top notch orthopedic surgeon. I broke my wrist and was having trouble getting anyone to see me right away and I did not ant to go to the ER. A friend told me to call South Palm Orthopedics and that Dr. Meadows was a hand specialist. I did and told them of my situation and the tremendous pain I was in and Dr. Meadows stayed later to see me that same day. As it turned out, I needed surgery and thanks to him, my wrist is completely healed. He is excellent.

This doctor is extremely rare for an orthopedic surgeon. He is not only very skilled at what he does, he is kind and actually cares. He always makes me laugh and helped me to regain full ability in my shoulder and you can hardly see my scar.

Due to a slip and fall, I had massive damage to my rotator cuff. In all my visits with Dr. Meadows, he was so pleasant, and took his time to explain what was needed and how I was to proceed from that point. He patiently answered all questions I had, and never rushed me. He truly performed a miracle surgery, in my case, and I am eternally grateful.

Had s bad slip and fall was taken to ER by EMT after discussing my meds and condition he projected confidence in his decision to wait two days then do surgery appears to be a good job well done office convenient but have not been there yet I think I got lucky.

Over the past 3 years since I retired and moved to Florida, I fell twice (different years!) each time I must say Thank God for Dr.Weisz and this office! Immediate timely care, compassionate efficient office staff and EXCELLENT medical care. I love this doctor. He’s the best!

Having grown up with doctors in my family, (Dad and an Uncle) I know how to recognize a great doctor and Dr. Weisz meets all the categories of that .

My first fall over a curb in a parking lot broke my wrist. Dr Weisz was so wonderful that the following year when I fell in my house & broke my ankle, I called him right away. I knew from experience who to call.

My advice to anyone (after breaking my ankle lol ) is be careful wearing flip flops ! That was the cause for my broken ankle!

I hope I never fall again… but if you do, I recommend Dr. Weisz!

Dr. Weisz is always professional, helpful, kind and pleasant to deal with. I had surgery with him for a broken wrist 9 years ago and just recently had a slight fracture of a tiny metatarsal bone in my foot from falling and he is REALLY great professionally. In both instances, I healed perfectly. Also, his physical therapy department is top notch. Happy that he is so close by. Oh, and he is ALWAYS on time (which is HIGHLY unusual) and he has a great sense of humor!! Very pleasant to deal with when you're in pain!!

Staff is always a treat to deal with. Most knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. Weisz and staff are very special and kind.

Undoubtedly the best experience if one has to undergo surgery. I knew nothing about the area as we just moved here. Thankfully I was referred to Dr Weisz and he is a fantastic surgeon as well as a kind human being. I felt well taken care of by him and everyone on staff at South Palm Orthopedics. Thank you everyone there from the bottom of my heart.

Best doctor in Delray!

Wow I read the other reviews about this Dr and I'm very surprised. Back in Feb 2011 I was in a very bad Car accident and had to be trauma hawked to Delray and he was Dr on call. He reconstructed my ankle. I like him as a Dr . He listened to me and has a great bedside manner. His staff is very nice . I had no problems with him or his office . Would I go to him again ? YES

seems quite competent. WILLING TO TALK AND TAKE TIME.

Dr. Weisz always demonstrates that he cares very much for the individual patient. He makes one feel that he has as much time as his patient needs. Hos skills as an orthopedic surgeon are beyond all expectations. I am an RN with a 50 year career. I am deeply impressed with Dr. Weisz, hIs professional skills and his bedside manner. He is the BEST!!

Dr. Weisz is a great doctor, and I would highly recommend him! His knowledge is excellent and he and his staff are friendly and a pleasure to work with. If you have an orthopedic issue you can’t go wrong with Dr. Weisz

Dr. Weisz is the ONLY orthopedic trauma surgeon I'd want again. I had a "high velocity comminuted pelvic fracture with significant acetabulum displacement", but without femoral injury. Only 3 surgeons north of Miami and South of Jupiter are board certified specialists in this surgical repair. The other 2 were unavailable or did not accept my insurance. It is a severe injury which can leave a patient partially disabled. Today I'm back to 100% of normal. He's the best! Thank you, Dr. Weisz

For two years I suffered with pain and pins and needle feelings all day and was miserable with my left shoulder and have seen other doctors that just kept giving me pain shots. Finally, I made an appt with Dr. Jonathan Feldman with South Palm Orthopedics and had shoulder impringment, torn labrum, rotator issues and spurs. He was the only physician who understood how I felt. He did my surgery on my left shoulder and I have to say - Very Professional and knowledgeable and Caring Doctor. I am extremely and grateful to him!!!

Everyone was helpful and kind! and competant.
