South Miami 604 | Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute

Jan 2023

Didn't keep me waiting long. Dr. Was pleasant, thorough and to the point. As I am 64 and not injured, just wear and tear with some arthritis in the knee he was only conservative and recommended PT which I have done before. I expressed my concerns about it helping but that's where you have to start in this day and age if you're not a sports star. Anyway I was surprised to get a phone call from the Doctor later that day! He wanted to further discuss my hesitancy and offer additional possibilities such as injection of lubricants solution. I advised I was pursuing getting to PT and would consider the injection if PT feels pain is causing inability of function. Would recommend this practice. Dr. Michael Yurubi, D.O. Was the treating physician. I had my doubts as he is not an 'MD' and I am old school but he was knowledgeable and had training under the Miami Heat physician. Finally I grew up in Miami and very aware of this practice. I even went to school with one of the doctors, Keith Hechtman and of course everyone knows Dr Harlan Selesnick of The Miami Dolphins and Heat. So I would trust them for my needs and you should too.
