I confidently endorse Dr. Deen and the Florida Orthopedic Institute (FOI). In October, I underwent a complex hip arthroscopy performed by Dr. Moser, which revealed severe chondromalacia, a significant labral tear, a pincer impingement, and osteoarthritis with sclerosis. Despite surgical intervention, my recovery was challenging, and I continued to experience persistent pain. Physical therapy was limited due to my discomfort, significantly affecting my quality of life. At my 6-week postoperative appointment, I discussed my concerns with Dr. Moser. Considering these ongoing issues, Dr. Moser recommended a consultation with a joint replacement specialist in his office for a potential total hip replacement. Subsequently, I was referred to Dr. Deen, who accommodated me promptly for a consultation the very next day. Reflecting on my experience, I recognize the importance of advocating for one's health and seeking the best possible care. Both Dr. Deen and Dr. Moser strongly believe in a patient-centered approach and value patient input in determining treatment plans. Dr. Deen is an experienced board-certified orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in lower extremity adult reconstruction. After thoroughly reviewing my surgical notes, arthroscopy images, physical therapy records, new X-rays, conducting a detailed examination, and attentively listening to my concerns, Dr. Deen determined that I was a suitable candidate for a left hip total replacement. A quick consultation with his efficient surgical coordinator, Karen Jackson, allowed them to schedule my surgery five days before Christmas. Dr. Deen's extensive expertise and compassionate approach instilled confidence in me. He plans to perform the surgery as an outpatient procedure at the Surgery Center of Ocala using the anterior method—a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing approach that facilitates faster recovery. The chosen implant for my procedure is the DePuy Actis Stem with an Emphasys Socket, both composed of titanium. Additionally, Dr. Deen intends to use a ceramic head on a polyethylene liner, known for their durability and compatibility with the body. If all goes as planned, I will be able to walk with the assistance of a walker shortly after the surgery. Dr. Deen anticipates the use of a walker for approximately three days, followed by the usage of a cane for an additional week. As I prepare for this significant step towards enhanced mobility and quality of life, I am filled with a mixture of apprehension and hope. The challenges I have faced in my recovery journey have been daunting, but the prospect of regaining pain-free movement motivates me. The support of skilled medical professionals like Dr. Moser and Dr. Deen, combined with advanced surgical techniques and implants, gives me confidence in a positive outcome. The decision to undergo hip replacement surgery was not made lightly but was necessary to reclaim my life from chronic pain. Dr. Deen spent 30 minutes explaining the process, demonstrating a model of the new hip, and addressing all my questions. His surgical coordinator, Karen, reviewed the necessary preoperative steps, obtained insurance preauthorization, enrolled me in a joint replacement course, coordinated surgical clearances with my primary care physician and cardiologist, reviewed Dr. Deen’s medication and recovery protocols, and provided extensive additional information. She also took the time to answer all my questions. Typically, the surgery center and Dr. Deen require at least 30 days' notice for hip replacement surgery to secure necessary authorizations, clearances, lab work, preoperative physicals, attendance of joint classes, securing hip implants, and durable medical equipment. Dr. Deen and Karen were empathetic to my situation and managed to secure a surgical date in half the usual time. I am looking forward to walking out of the surgery center to my car and the day when I can move freely comfortably and run once again. I am committed to working diligently towards a successful recovery and have full confidence in Dr. Deen.

Dr. Justin Deen is an extraordinary and very knowledgeable physician with truly outstanding skills as a surgeon. He recently performed my total knee replacement and I am thrilled with the outcome of this surgery, as well as the progression of my recovery. I attribute my optimal results to his expertise and careful attention to every detail of the process. In addition to his stellar surgical ability, Dr. Deen has a very compassionate, friendly, and warm professional bedside manner, maintaining close contact and responsiveness with my husband and I throughout every phase of my recovery. Having been acquainted with a number of surgeons throughout my lifetime, there are very few that rise to the level of technical expertise and professional caring displayed by Dr. Deen. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is contemplating orthopedic surgery and he will always be my first choice for an orthopedic surgeon.

Great experience with Dr. Deen and his staff throughout experience with hip replacement at West Marion Hospital. My procedure also required removal of hardware from previous repair of hip fracture related to fall playing pickleball last year. I am still within 6 week recovery period and so far everything has been smooth and relatively pain free by following Dr Deen's instruction. Now just doing the work with Outpatient Therapy as outlined by Dr Deen and following up with him as scheduled before being returned to full activity status. Well informed both prior to procedure and post op with true concern for patient and individual needs. Recommended by another ortho and after experiencing the skill provided and care given I would emphatically recommend Dr. Deen to anyone.
