  In saying this, I hope YOU “do it right the first time” by finding a great doctor who first and foremost uses a conservative approach to all orthopaedic issues and takes the time to treat you like a real person not like a paycheck. Gratefully, I found a wonderful Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Myles Samotin. In November 2011, I had my first appointment with Dr. Myles Samotin. I cannot tell you what a difference it was from the very beginning. A doctor who actually listened intently? Who cared about MY issue? Who wasn’t recommending surgery (and remember HE is a surgeon) at my first appointment before an X-ray, before an MRI? This seemed too good to be true. After deciding on the conservative approach to my ankle issue I am able to walk without any pain in my ankle. More than of my progress is due to Dr. Samotin and Amanda Attia who is my Physical Therapist, one of Dr. Samotin’s staff on-site. The other was up to me to continue my therapy at home and take all of the advice Dr. Samotin, Dr. Angela and Mrs. Attia gave me over the next few months.

• Arthroscopy
  Dr. Samotin has performed several thousand knee arthroscopies. This is a minimally invasive way to fix many problems that develop inside the knee. There is special cartilage inside the knee called meniscus. This serves as a shock absorber between the bones and is different from the articular cartilage that lines the bones. The meniscus is easily torn from an accident as well as normal usage and because the blood supply is very poor to most of the meniscus, it often cannot heal itself.
• Ankle Surgery
  I am a 33 year old who was a very active individual with a pain in my left foot/ankle that seemed to get worse over a 6 month period of time in 2010. I picked a doctor; who shall remain nameless, that I thought could help me get better. To make a long story short, the first option and only option given was ankle surgery. After four months of physical therapy and recovery it was now July 2011 and I was faced with an even worse situation than before. Of course, the only option again was to have yet another surgery to fix my ankle. After much thought I declined the surgery and a friend of mine encouraged me to see his doctor (Dr. Myles Rubin Samotin) who had done a fabulous job on his knee and as a result is now able to run and be as active as he wishes. The best thing I ever did was walk out of my previous doctor’s office, get a copy of all x-rays and MRI’s and take them somewhere else to get a second opinion.

  Dr. Samotin has been practicing orthopedic surgery in Naples, FL since 1997. Dr. Samotin’s practice quickly expanded to include Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Ocoee, Orlando, Clermont, and we are now contemplating a Tampa location. These opportunities have arisen due to requests from colleagues which include doctors, lawyers, chiropractors, as well as patients who were impressed with his professionalism, compassionate care and outcomes.

• Sports Medicine
• Physical Therapy
  Often I am scratching my head trying to figure out why surgery was recommended in the first place because these people have minor problems that most of the time could get better with a cortisone shot, physical therapy, and activity modification. In fact over the years I have kept a log of these patients who were strongly recommended for surgery who were very intrigued to hear there were conservative measures that could work. With the list several hundred patients and growing; simple conservative remedies have gotten them completely better. No surgery had to be entertained and no surgeries were performed.
