He is a great foot doctor but he has not been at this facility since August of 2016. I finally found the right location for him. His phone number is 352-805-4317. This is his old practice and they do not seem to update this information as they should.

Osteoporosis
Warts
Arthritis
Hips are one of the most common joints requiring replacement to achieve pain reduction and restored movement. Most commonly, hips are damaged by arthritis from degeneration (osteoarthritis), autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis) or traumatic-injury-related arthritis. In all cases, the cartilage cushioning the hip wears away, leaving bone to grind against bone, causing pain, stiffness and instability. Less frequently, hip damage is caused by insufficient blood flow to the area due to dislocation, fracture or disease, or by childhood hip disease.
Plantar Fasciitis
Primary Care
Discontinue all blood thinning and Aspirin products 7 – 10 days prior to surgery. You will need to contact your primary care doctor for instructions for this, as well as instructions to continue taking routine medications or to miss a dose the morning of surgery (examples include: insulin, blood pressure pills, or heart medication).
Emergency Care
Because so many injuries occur on the job or due to vocational activities, FMI has established the Workers’ Health Center for Occupational Medicine to treat job-related diseases and injuries and help resolve workplace hazards. Our center provides medical exams, urgent care, injury evaluation and management, drug and alcohol screening and a host of other services. To learn more, please review our Occupational Medicine page.

MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging – MRI provides crisp images of both bones and soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves/nerve roots. MRI can help your doctor identify inflammation, infection, tumors, abscesses and impinged nerves.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Computed tomography – CT (referral) provides a three-dimensional view of the spine and related bones. It can offer more detailed imaging than X-ray, and can be especially helpful in diagnosing disc herniation, stenosis, tumors/cysts and other problems.

General Surgery
Sciatica
Acute low back pain is most often caused by tight or strained muscles and ligaments, injured facet joints, osteoarthritis, disc herniation or degeneration, and spinal stenosis. Symptoms can range from abnormal stiffness and backache to spasms and sharp, shooting pain that may travel through the buttocks and hips and down into the legs (sciatica). In less common cases, acute back pain is caused by benign or malignant tumors, infection, fracture, or a rare but serious disease known as cauda equina syndrome, a disorder of the nerve roots at the base of the spine. These less common causes need to be treated quickly in order to prevent serious, often permanent, damage to the lumbar spine.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a specialized procedure used to view, diagnose and treat joint disease and malfunction. An orthopaedic surgeon makes a small incision to allow the insertion of an arthroscope, a narrow tube-shaped instrument connected to a video camera that illuminates and magnifies the intricate structures within and surrounding the joints. It allows the surgeon to examine the damage in and around the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle or wrist on a video screen.
Ankle Surgery
Besides treating these conditions, FMI's physicians are uniquely qualified to detect the early stages of diseases that exhibit warning signs in the lower extremities, as well as manage those foot conditions which can pose an ongoing threat to a patient's overall health. Such illnesses include diabetes, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease.
Joint Replacement
Shoulder joint replacement utilizes titanium and ceramic prostheses and plastic joint liners to replace the damaged parts of the shoulder joint and restore normal, healthy function. Shoulder replacement comes with a variety of options, so you and your surgeon should review them to decide which is most appropriate for your particular case. Total shoulder replacement typically involves replacing the damaged glenoid socket with a plastic prosthesis, and installing a medical-grade metal ball that rotates smoothly in and around the new socket.
Metatarsal Surgery
Bunions
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopic surgery typically involves less pain, trauma, infection risk and recovery time than traditional (a.k.a. “open”) surgery, and is frequently done as an outpatient procedure, meaning that even though it is still performed under general, local or spinal anesthesia in a hospital or outpatient surgical center, the patient can usually return home the same day. Therefore, arthroscopy can be a superior option for patients whose conditions do not require open surgery.
Ingrown Toenails
Hip Replacement
Anterior Approach Hip Replacement – This revolutionary procedure involves a specialized table that allows your surgeon to enter the hip joint from the front, requiring less intrusion into tissues and dramatically faster healing. Most patients are able to be up and walking the same day of their surgery. FMI was the first local practice with the training and qualification to perform this procedure.
Knee Replacement
If you and your doctor determine that other methods are insufficient to relieve your knee pain, stiffness, deformity or dysfunction, it might be time to consider a total knee replacement.

Corns
Corns and calluses are caused by friction and pressure from skin rubbing against bony areas when wearing shoes. If the first signs of soreness are ignored, corns and calluses rise up as nature's way of protecting sensitive areas.
Cyst
Calluses
About 5 percent of the US population has corns or calluses each year. Of the three major types of foot problems (infections, toenails, and corns and calluses), people are less likely to receive treatment for corns and calluses and more likely to continue to have corns and calluses as a problem without treatment.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Cramping, bruising, tearing, breaking - all of the injuries involved with playing sports can be treated at Florida Musculoskeletal Institute. Dr. Carl Ollivierre is a board certified and fellowship trained physician specializing in Sports Medicine. Please review our resources section for exercises to help you rehab after an injury.
Physical Therapy
Because the shoulder has a wider range of motion than other joints, it is more vulnerable to different types of injury. Shoulder pain, weakness and stiffness that aren’t sufficiently relieved by anti-inflammatory medications, injections or physical therapy can be treated with surgery, including rotator cuff repair, bone spur removal, ligament repair, removal of detached cartilage, labrum removal or repair, shoulder dislocation treatment and damaged biceps tendon repair. The type of surgery you may need depends on your injury and what you and your surgeon decide would be most beneficial in your case.

General Podiatry
There are about 13,320 doctors of podiatric medicine actively in practice in the United States. There is an average of one podiatric physician for every 20,408 people and they receive more than 60 million visits a year from people with any number of foot ailments. Yet that's probably only a fraction of the number of foot problems. Mostly, say podiatrists, that's because many people have the erroneous notion that their feet are supposed to hurt.
Achilles Tendonitis
Ankle Sprain
About 60 percent of all foot and ankle injuries, reported by the US population older than 17, were sprains and strains of the ankle.
Bunions Problems
Calluses
Flat Feet
Podiatric physicians provide treatment for 82 percent of corn and callus problems, 65 percent of toenail problems, 63 percent of bunion problems, 46 percent of flat feet or fallen arches problems, and 43 percent of toe/joint deformities. Patients with foot problems visit podiatric physicians an average of 3.7 times a year, orthopedic physicians 3.4, osteopathic physicians 3.2, all other physicians 3.0, and physical therapists and others 7.1.
Hammertoes
As people age, they increasingly choose podiatric physicians. Medicare data verifies that podiatric physicians are the physicians of choice for 83 percent of hammertoe surgery, 67 percent of metatarsal surgery, 77 percent of bunionectomy surgery, and 47 percent of rearfoot surgery. Medical Economics magazine reported that 56 percent of all older patients have seen a podiatric physician.
Foot Infections
About 5 percent of the US population has foot infections, including athlete's foot, other fungal infections, and warts each year.
