Stephen Raterman, MD, FACS

Approximately 3 years ago I was told I needed a hip replacement at 37. My general Ortho Dr. told me about hip resurfacing and I began to look into it. In my area there was only 1 local surgeon who preformed hip resurfacing and he would not consider me a candidate because of my BMI despite the fact that I train for weight lifting 5 days a week. My general Ortho Dr then told me about Dr. Raterman whom she used to work for so I flew to FL for a consult. Dr Raterman felt I was an ideal candidate for the surgery and 11 months ago I flew back down to have it performed. I could not be more pleased with the staff and the procedure. Last weekend at 11 months post operation I was able to compete in my 1st United States Strongman sanctioned competition. I had no problems with any of the events and even placed far above expectations. If I hadn't been told about Dr. Raterman I may have taken my local surgeons recommendation for a standard hip replacement and I most certainly would not have be back to these types of activities. I could not be more pleased!!!

Dr. Raterman saved my mobility with my the two hip replacement he did for me. I am very grateful for giving me my life back. His staff was fantastic the Advent Health Hospital was first class. I only have great things to say about the whole experience. Dr. Raterman is the best!!!!

Waited over 1 hour for this doctor, never told he would be late. when he came in room with his "entourage" 2 other people who loomed in the small room, he rushed through the exam and did not allow me to ask questions, did not apologize for being late. He ordered an MRI and did not go into any details about possible dx. Upon checkout there were 2 attendants , one had a line, the other had her back to us, i asked if she could check me out, she was annoyed.... I called the office manager to report my terrible experience with the office and doctor and she could care less, she barely responded to my concerns, was rude and indifferent. I would NOT go to this doctor or office. Everyone 's time is valuable and i felt like i was treated like a peasant. I got the MRI and called the office for a report and was told i had to come in for same. I dont want to come in, please go over results on phone and i offered to do a telehealth so they get their $$$, never heard back.... terrible experience, non caring, no eye contact, rushed. I was one the the herd , i saw him and his entourage walk from room to room , burnt out and listless....
