Testimonials

An excellent medical evaluation with a very attentive and helpful staff. Very grateful to all. Also, in the area of physical therapies in both Citrus and Cypress, it has been a great experience. They are all really professional. I would recommend someone who needs their attention. Thank you.

Dr. Epting is extremely thorough. She does not waste any time, and she is straightforward to the point, which I love. I was experiencing back pain for over three months and was denied MRIs multiple times by the insurance company. Doctor Epting and her team quickly got me in for an MRI. After physical therapy, trigger point injections, and a couple of different rounds of steroids from ER doctors and primary care, she suggested doing an epidural injection. Her bedside manner is fantastic. She listens and follows through with an action plan. She comes into every visit prepared and has notes of things we discussed and things that worked for me or didn’t. The day following the epidural injection, I felt the best I had felt in months and back to my usual self. I was going from not being able to pick up a carton of milk to being able to proceed with my normal activities. I would recommend Doctor Epstein to anybody, and I am grateful for her excellent bedside manner and knowledge. It’s hard to find good providers with good office staff, and Florida Orthopedic seems to be figuring out how to keep the excellent staff.

Dr. Epting was very upbeat and positive, and sure of her diagnosis for a spinal injection. I felt very comfortable with her ability.
