“Dr. Livingstone performed surgery on both my hands with great results. Dr. Livingstone was wonderful both in and out of the OR. The office staff was very pleasant and helpful. I told the doctor that I wish I had another hand just to see her again. One other quick comment: her injections were absolutely painless!” ~ Self-verified patient via Vitals
“We could not be happier with the excellent service and care provided by the doctor and his entire staff. They made my son feel so comfortable and alleviated any concerns we had about his broken arm. Their service was fast and efficient. We can't thank them enough and are so happy they are there for us.” ~ via Healthgrades
“Dr. Livingstone repaired a distal biceps tendon tear for me. My experience with her and her staff has been excellent from Day 1. I am two months post-op now and everything has gone far better than I expected. Dr. Livingstone is the best!” ~ Derek Sullivan, Hollywood, Florida, via Healthgrades
“I would like to take a minute and thank the great PT staff for helping me get back on track to recovery. Everybody there is well-aware of my needs and concerns, and on every visit, they truly take care of me. Since my first visit, I’ve received nothing but great care. My recovery is progressing with each visit. I’d like to thank everyone for a great job so far and looking forward to being back to 100% recovered!” ~ Thomas Bianchi via Healthgrades
“PA Stephen Fender listened to me and never rushed me. He answered my questions and recommended a very adequate treatment for my leg issue. He deserves more than five stars. Today, I can say that I won the lottery. Thank you for making my day!” ~ Sarina Eliyakim via Healthgrades
“I have been searching for a surgeon qualified and knowledgeable in how to repair my specific wrist injury. After seeing numerous surgeons claiming to know how to treat a scapholunate ligament tear and triangular fibrocartilage injury, I feel confident in Dr. Livingstone’s approach and plan on how to proceed, and I feel confident scheduling my surgery with her.” ~ Albert Hall IV, Key West, Florida, via Healthgrades
“Dr. Segall is a very caring doctor who responds immediately when you leave a message, which is not typical of most doctors nowadays.” ~ Joanie, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, via Healthgrades

“Dr. Livingstone and her staff are the most professional people I have ever dealt with in the medical industry. They run the office like a well-oiled machine. They are courteous, friendly, and willing to go above and beyond to help you. Dr. Livingstone is the kindest person. She is very knowledgeable in her field, and treats everyone with the utmost respect. It was a pleasure to deal with such a special person. She treats people as equals and has a great bedside manner. Thank you for everything you did for me, Dr. Livingstone.” ~ Dianne Orofino via Google

"Dr. Livingstone was absolutely amazing in doing my Carpal Tunnel surgery back in 2019! Explained the procedure in complete detail before hand and it went like clockwork.
