I have been seeing Dr. Hawthorne for several years now and can attest that Dr. Hawthorne is not…read moreonly an awesome doctor, he is also an incredible surgeon. I have been receiving knee injections from Dr. Hawthorne in my attempt to postpone the inevitable - knee replacement surgery. More about that another time. On Father's Day weekend 2023, I felt a momentary sharp pain in my right shoulder. Having felt a similar pain in my past, I assumed what I had done. I put off seeing Dr. Hawthorne until July. After the CT, the official diagnosis was, "retracted full-thickness, full width re-tear of the supraspinatus tendon and, retracted full-thickness near full-width tear of the infraspinatus tendon". In laymen's terms, I tore my rotator cuff - again. The surgery (not arthroscopic) was addressed in mid-August. I started in-home PT 3-days after the surgery (arranged by Dr. Hawthorne's office). In-home PT continued for 3-weeks. I am currently in outpatient PT doing the work to re-gain both my strength, and my range of motion (also arranged by Dr. Hawthorne's office). By the way, I have a tattoo on the shoulder where the surgery was done. Without exaggeration, you would not be able to tell that I had surgery if I did not tell you. The point of incision is barely visible. Dr. Hawthorne is a man of few words. He'll give you the facts to help you to decide the next steps, without the glitter. When you are ready, you can move forward with him and trust that he will do a great job. I trust him. As soon as I have completed PT and have fully recovered from rotator cuff surgery, I will be scheduling with Dr. Hawthorne to get my knees done, one after the other. I highly recommend Dr. Hawthorne and his team.

This practice was recommended to me by 2 patients previously seen there. They had a great…read moreexperience. I tried to be seen in this office. Even though I didn't get to see the Dr., I still felt it was important to write this review as a physician's office staff is also greatly important to a patient's care. I called on Monday to try and make an appointment. I followed the prompts for a new patient wanting to make an appointment and left a message, giving them the information they wanted and a short history of my symptoms and medical history. By late morning Wednesday, I had not heard back yet and decided to call again repeating the same scenario. By Friday morning I still had not heard back from the office. I called again and chose a different prompt so I could speak with someone. I was very courteous; I understand that offices can get busy, maybe the scheduler had been sick or on vacation, etc. After sharing with the woman who answered the phone that I was wanting to make an appointment but hadn't been able to, she asked to put me on hold. 5 mins later, another woman answered and asked how she could help. I shared the name of the woman who was already helping me and she said, I know, she asked me to help you. So, I asked her if I could make an appointment. She said she couldn't do that, but took my last name and let me know that the scheduler would get back to me. She didn't know when that would be and we ended the call. 5.5 hours later I finally got a call from the scheduler only for her to say that they don't see patients who have previously been in a car accident. I thought maybe she confused me with someone else. I was not in a recent accident, there was no lawsuit or workman's comp case so I shared again that it was a closed thing and it happened over 4 years ago. She repeated, "it's our office policy that we don't see patients who have been in any car accident no matter when." When I said "OK. Do you mind me asking why? I've just never heard of this." She said "sure, it's just our policy." She had this information for a week. A week longer I now have to wait to seek treatment. I'm most frustrated with how discourteous they were and unapologetic for their lack of care and waste of my time and efforts. I'm also dumbfounded on this policy of not treating patients who have, at one point in their medical history, been in a car accident. It's not a recent injury with possibility of lawsuit or workman's comp, so what do they care? I could bet that a good majority of their clients have a physical trauma of some sort in their patient history. This boarders on discrimination and speaks volumes of this office to me and the care I am seeking. I'm happy to take my business elsewhere.

A Rare and Exceptional Doctor -- Highly Recommended!…read more Dr. Chewning is the kind of physician you rarely find anymore. In an era of rushed appointments and impersonal care, he stands out by giving each patient the time and attention they truly deserve. He listens carefully, explains your health issues thoroughly, and works with you -- without any rush -- to find the best solutions and answers for your individual needs. Dr. Chewning has been my primary care physician for over eight years, and I have never once considered changing doctors. His professionalism, compassion, and genuine humanity set him apart from the rest. He embodies the kind of old-fashioned, patient-centered medicine that is becoming increasingly rare today. If you are looking for a primary care doctor who will truly hear you, respect your time, and provide outstanding medical guidance, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Chewning. You will not be disappo

OUTSTANDING CARE FROM Dr. Sarah Henry…read more Dr. Sarah Henry is truly exceptional. She has performed three extensive hand surgeries for me, each lasting around six hours, and her skill, precision, and compassion have been unmatched every single time. Her bedside manner is outstanding -- she genuinely cares about her patients and takes the time to listen and address every concern quickly and thoroughly. Dr. Henry is not only incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented, but she also makes you feel like more than just a patient. I've always felt that she truly cares about my healing and recovery -- she goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. After my experience with multiple complex surgeries and her unwavering dedication, I can confidently say that Dr. Henry is the best hand surgeon in the area. Volusia Hand Surgeons is lucky to have her, and I'm beyond grateful for the care she has given me. Beth

Dr Keene is simply one of the best knee or hip surgeons in the area…read more I had total right hip replacement 2.5 years ago, and my wife recently underwent a total right knee replacement. What people may take as not caring is actually, his expertise and knowledge of what he does. The quality of life regained by his talents can not be over stated. State of the art Mako robotics leads to a shorter recovery and faster return to the pickle ball courts. He is matter of fact. My first visit went as follows. Hello, we shook hands and he held up my X-ray and said, you need a new hip. My response was, just like that? He said, yep. I said, kind of like ordering a pizza when I'm hungry, and he said yes. He was right. He did personally, call both me and my wife the evening of our surgery to check in and staff followed up the next day. My only negative is that I feel Medicare should have paid him more! Thanks Dr. Keene.

I asked him if he wanted to do the MRI suggested by the radiologist (on my leg). He said "I didn't read that" and had to go back and read it and then ordered the MRI. In my opinion, that showed a lack of interest in the detail of my injury and lack of detail in care planning. He was arrogant and disrespectful in interactions with me. He seems challenged and aggravated by educated people who ask questions. My husband is a physician, and I am a Ph.D. in psychology. If you like to blindly follow recommendations from what is in my opinion a middle of the pack physician, then he might be the right one for you. Also, I met 2 people in PT who expressed to me that they were not happy with the surgery he did on their knees. They had pain and swelling and limited ROM long after the date he had told them they would be "back on the pickleball court". I did not allow him to do surgery on me. He told me I would never walk again without surgery. Well, I walk well and did so without surgery. After I asked him if he read my history of RSD in a prior bone break in my medical history (which he had not), he agreed surgery could be a risk.
