Please Read Before Seeking Musculoskeletal Treatment in South Florida!

After two rotator cuff surgeries in the past year and countless cortisone injections, I was still struggling with unresolved shoulder issues. I visited multiple doctors who didn’t take the time to truly listen or evaluate my concerns. I was even considering going out of state for treatment—until my fiancé encouraged me to keep looking locally.

After extensive research, I discovered HSS and focused on Dr. Christopher Colasanti. I read his bio and listened to his ESPN Palm Beach podcast interview. The moment I heard him speak, I knew he was the right doctor for me. His calm, compassionate voice and Midwestern demeanor immediately stood out. He shared his own experiences with shoulder injuries as a football player, his time at Penn State, and his passion for coaching his young son’s football team. His background - both as an athlete and a scholar - gave me confidence in his expertise. He’s co-authored around 70 publications, which speaks volumes about his knowledge.

I met Dr. Colasanti yesterday during a major flare-up in my AC joint. For the first time in decades - since a doctor in Columbus, Ohio back in 2000 - someone hit the right nerve during treatment. That’s because he truly listens, performs a thorough diagnosis, and approaches patients with kindness, compassion, and exceptional skill. He even acknowledged the emotional stress I’ve been under and how it impacts the body’s nervous system and overall health. His understanding of the complete kinetic chain - body and mind - is rare and invaluable.

Thanks to Dr. Colasanti, I’m no longer terrified about the next steps. He ordered the correct MRIs with detailed instructions tailored to my condition. I’ll be returning in late December and feel hopeful for the first time in a long while.

To Dr. Colasanti and the entire HSS staff - thank you! You are extraordinary. I cannot recommend Dr. Colasanti highly enough. Happy holidays to all!
