Shoulder pain can come from the bones that make up the shoulder joint and can be a cause for concern among players of all ages. Hand injuries can be cuts, fractures, dislocations, infections, burns, or injury due to high impact to the hand and wrist area. Palm Beach Sports Medicine is dedicated to helping you select the most conservative approach to relieving joint pain, but sometimes a joint is so damaged that joint replacement surgery is your best option.Neck and back pain are the most common complaints that send people to their doctors' offices, and the most costly in terms of lost productivity in the workplace.
Two most common injuries among baseball players, especially pitchers, are baseball shoulder injuries and baseball elbow injuries. This results in an inability to throw with velocity and is usually caused due to injury to either the soft-tissue structures of the shoulder joint or the bones. South Florida's sub-tropical climate is perfect for year-around sports, which means we see year-around sports injuries. Some of the most common injuries accompany America's pastime, baseball. We see many shoulder and elbow injuries, especially in our young athletes.
Neck and back pain are the most common complaints that send people to their doctors' offices, and the most costly in terms of lost productivity in the workplace. Almost everyone will experience some level of neck or back pain at some point in their lives, ranging from mild to severe. When simple home remedies like hot and cold therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and over-the-counter pain relievers don't resolve your problems, it may be time to see a specialist.The sports medicine doctors at Palm Beach Sports Medicine treat more than sports injuries; we have the skills and expertise to treat the discomfort that can accompany normal wear and tear, or acute injuries at work or at home, too.

Dr. Randazzo and staff are very professional, friendly and informative. Their office is prompt and is very good at reminding patients about their appointments. The surgery and recovery went as expected with minimized pain.

Dr. Randazzo replaced one of my 70 year-old knees three months ago and I'm already doing everything I want to do, including tennis, pickleball, and bicycling, pain-free. He and his assistant Taylor took great care of me every step of the way. I highly and unreservedly recommend him for knee treatment and surgery.

We were very satisfied with the care Dr. Randazzo provided for our daughter's knee. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. He took the time to explain things and answer our questions and even repeat answers patiently. His calm demeanor definitely helped me as I was trying to understand everything regarding my daughter's knee injuries. I highly recommend Dr. Randazzo.

I also appreciated the fact that any time I needed to call the office over many months of treatment, a friendly and helpful person always answered the phone and no pre-recorded messages.

Dr. Randazzo and his amazing medical assistant, Taylor are "the" duo. Had Rotator Cuff Surgery on my left shoulder. Expected the worse as the right shoulder operation from another doctor took me over 18 months to recover from. Not the case with outstanding guidance and surgery from Dr. Randazzo. 4 months later- full motion & strength are back. Dr. Randazzo is a modern practitioner who guided me to use physical therapy less than a week after surgery along with ice and very few meds to kick my recovery into high speed.

He is readily available and if he isn't you hear from Taylor with meaningful information that helps you plan or communicate to Dr. Randazzo. I couldn't be happier with my results and so grateful to Taylor and Dr. Randazzo for giving my life back to me! I highly recommend them. There just is no better team!

I had suffered with chronic knee pain for over 20 years resulting from a high school sports injury. Dr Stieglitz took the time to listen and understand exactly what my issues were and ensured he did a step by step approach to resolving my pain. I'm several months out from my last surgery and couldn't be happier! No more pain. I also have to say that his assistant Kirsten is phenomenal and this team has done of the best communication.

I first saw Dr. Ackerman w hen my internist sent me to him because I had torn my bicep and she was sure that i needed surgery to repair it. He convinced me not to have surgery. I was impressed that a surgeon did not automatically suggest surgery. So, when my wife was told she needed a new hip, I suggested Dr. Ackerman. He operated and she is now, for the first time in 4 years, walking like a normal person.

But his follow-up is as good as his surgery. My wife is a worrier and he sees her whenever she asks. It's great - and comforting - to find a good doctor who is also a good person.

In late April 2021, just a few weeks shy of a much-anticipated TKR surgery, my physician suffered a medical emergency resulting in the cancellation. I was scared, in tremendous pain, and contacted Palm Beach Sports Medicine. I explained my situation and was given an almost immediate appointment with Dr. Gary Ackerman. Dr. Ackerman was personable, quickly evaluated my situation, and scheduled a new surgical date within three weeks.

His assistant, Jeneva, is like a "guardian angel" and is as mild mannered, caring and professional as Dr. Ackerman. They make a wonderful team, and I wouldn't go anywhere else for orthopedic services. Ironically, five months post op, a second surgery was needed to repair my rotator cuff. I had zero concerns and didn't hesitate for a moment to have Dr. Ackerman "fix me." I hadn't walked downstairs normally for years, but 10 months post op, I am trotting down the stairs. And, my shoulder is healing perfectly, thanks to an experienced, caring surgeon and his staff.

Dr. Ackerman is a gem. He listens, take his time and always provides choices. Patiently listens to questions and answers honestly and easy to understand. My meniscus surgery was flawless. Never felt any pain and along with PT, recovery was immediate. I am forever grateful to have found him.

Thank you to Dr. Siebel, his assistant Kirsten, and the rest of the team for a very positive surgical experience! Once my workman comp doctors reassessed my injury and correctly diagnosed my shoulder as having a full thickness muscle tear- I had the pleasure of being assigned to PBSM & Dr. Stiebel. He provided a caring, professional & no-nonsense approach to address my needs. Kirsten was easily accessible for any of my questions or concern- and was a wonderful advocate between myself and my workman comp case worker.

I also wanted to acknowledge the PBSM physical therapy team. Dr. Eric, David, Dak, and Spencer were excellent at guiding my recovery process. The front desk schedulers also set a positive tone for those receiving services. Great job on cultivating a happy staff, leading to a conducive environment for the healing process! I highly recommend PBSM!

My Dad had a broken ankle. Dr. Randazzo and staff are so friendly and welcoming. They made us comfortable with Dads surgery. He has healed and is doing well. Highly recommend!

Stiebel is a petty little man who lets his own bias affect the way he treats patients instead of acting like a professional and treating people equal. I was waiting over a month for an MRI order due to car accident related injuries. I called to see why I was still waiting just to be told he changed his mind like a five year old because he didn't appreciate my HONEST review.

Here is another honest review for you, do better. Stiebel obviously has no interest in actually helping anyone. Unfortunately he is just one small man in a big pool of problems in the medical field. Hopefully my honest reviews can help someone avoid this man and the emotional turmoil I've already had to endure.

Dr. Ackerman is not only a great professional; he is also caring and empathetic with patients. I was having intense stubbing pain on my left knee for 2 months, and after going to see another doctor; I lost hope about finding the right one. Fortunately, a friend of mine who is a physical therapist recommended DR Ackerman to me. He took the time to explain my diagnosis and be compassionate about my pain.

I am still under treatment but I have felt better since I got a shot of halurionic acid in my knee. It has been 4 weeks and the stabbing pain is gone. Meanwhile, I walk around my neighborhood and I am looking forward to start with my physical therapy next week. Thank you Dr Ackerman and his nurse Jeneva, both are a great team. You guys rock! Blessings for you

My experience with Dr. Stiebel and his staff was nothing other than professional, courteous and compassionate. I felt confident and comfortable with them and the procedures. I had a TKR and he was honest and accurate about the expectations. A most competent and skilled orthopedic physician.

Dr. Stiebel is a very caring & very knowledgeable Orthopedic surgeon. He gave me multiple options for treatment of my damaged knee, fully explaining what each would entail & allowing me to continue for the present without knee replacement surgery. His treatment techniques are both adept & painless. I am THRILLED to have found such a wonderful doctor. The Nurses & Office Staff are Amazing as well, very friendly & welcoming. If I could give Dr. Stiebel & his staff 10 Stars, I would!

Dr. Randazzo and his team are excellent. They took care of me after I broke my humerus. Dr. Randazzo took the time to explain the details of the surgery and the post-op expectations. I highly recommend him and the physical therapists at Palm Beach Sports Medicine.

Dr. Stiebel did an excellent job of relocating my biceps tendon and repairing my labrum. I couldn't be happier with the results. My arm is pain free after physical therapy. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to him for further needs. He is one of the best.

Over the last year and a half, I've been dealing with hip pain that ultimately led to a total hip replacement. Dr. Randazzo and Dr. Ackerman were professional, understanding, and knowledgeable and did everything necessary to restore me to great physical health. After my surgeries, I opted to utilize Palm Beach Sports Medicine for rehab. The communication between the therapists and the doctors made my treatment there effective, efficient, and successful.

Everyone there, from the office staff to the physical therapists made me feel important, welcomed, and like family. They coached me through some very difficult times, always helping me to strive to do more and be my best self. A very heartfelt thank you to Eric, David, and Dak for providing such a positive atmosphere, for compassion and constant encouragement, and most of all for making sure I had all of the tools I needed to get back to my life again!

All of the therapists I worked with were fantastic and I couldn't be happier with the results. In 6 short weeks, my hips feel as good as they have in a decade. And, I was able to avoid a cortisone shot. Very thankful for David's, Eric's, and Dak's help and expertise.

Eric Wanner, PT, DPT, OCS, did an exceptional job in providing physical therapy services. I went from chronic pain and the verge of back surgery to a full recovery. Nothing short of a miracle! He was consistently professional, on time and provided outstanding advice on what I needed to do to fully recover. He truly cares about his patients and is committed to helping them get better. Feeling blessed to have had such great care!

Came back for a chronic pain issue and no help or ideas were offered. To top it off they are so cheap they charge you an additional $10 if you want a copy of your xrays or MRI's! I've never had a physician charge me for a copy of my medical tests! To summarize, no help, bogus add on charges.

Dr. Eric Wanner leads a physical therapy group that, in my estimation, is second to none. They are knowledgeable, compassionate, disciplined, and totally committed to their patient's recovery. I had a total left knee replacement 8 weeks ago, and a total right knee replacement 2 weeks ago. Eric has managed every facet of my therapy. Be assured that he is the real deal. David had been working with my wife on some back issues she has, and I can report outstanding results, as well. Bottom line, if your are willing to make the effort, this is the group for you.

I had a dislocated fracture on my tibia and fibula near the ankle. I needed surgery and wanted only the best doctor. I visited 3 different orthopedics and chose Dr. Stiebel at Palm Beach Sports Medicine and here is why. His credentials alone are super impressive. The guy graduated from Yale magna cum-laude and did his residency at McGill University. Dr. Stiebel is not a cut corners kind of doctor. Initially, I tried to limit the examination of my ankle because I was scared.

I only wanted to show him pictures and hospital x-rays like I did with the first 2 doctors I saw that day. He explained that it would not be good medicine to not properly examine my foot and get an additional x-ray view to determine the amount of hardware needed for the surgery before I'm on the table. Basically, he said that if he wants me to be his doctor we are going to do it his way (but not in those words).

I agreed, unwrapped the splint and got the additional x-ray. At first I thought he was being a stickler but then I was so appreciative of his by the book attitude. The x-ray told much more information about the break. This man is professional and does not mess around; that is exactly why I chose him for the surgery. His assistant, Kirsten, is a sweetheart and makes your visit even more personable.

She is genuinely happy to see everyone when she calls for patients in the waiting room. I look forward to greeting her at my appointments and don't think I have ever waited longer than 5 mins to be called. Even the x-ray techs were a pleasure. My surgery was performed at Jupiter Medical Center which was excellent. I would need another review to elaborate.

This whole experience has been so emotional for me. I want to happy cry every time I see Dr. Stiebel because I am so thankful. He really cares about your wellbeing and takes the time to sit and answer all your questions. It's been 3 months since my injury and I am walking in regular tennis shoes. I'm going to physical therapy at Palm Beach Sports Medicine.

Those guys are terrific and deserve a review of their own too. Bottom line, if you want a practice with the whole package including the best orthopedic surgeon, office staff, surgery center, and PT. go to Palm Beach Sport Medicine and see Dr. Stiebel.

Two major knee surgeries completed by Dr. Ackerman and Dr. Stiebel along with great rehab work with Dr. Wanner, David, and Danielle in the physical therapy department. I have a long recovery process but they've helped me work my way back every step of the way through multiple weekly therapy sessions!
