Sports Medicine Overview

Sports Medicine is about treating and preventing injuries that are caused during sports or exercise. Such injuries can result from injuries, inadequate training, lack of proper equipment, or even lack of conditioning and stretching. Our team of specialists are orthopedic providers who regularly treat common sports injuries, like ankle sprains, fractures, and injuries of the upper and lower extremities. With three orthopedic surgeons who are fellowship trained in sports medicine, our surgeons at Fort Lauderdale Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine can handle the most complicated sports injuries. And with decades of experience rehabbing these patients, our physical therapists are able to help high level athletes or weekend warriors complete the healing and recovery process.

Testimonials

What Our Patients Are Saying

Dr. Nigen was great with explaining diagnosis and treatment, very respectful!

Vincenzo May 26, 2023

Dr Negin is great. Good attitude, professional, not money oriented. The staff is courteous, you are seen on time – what else can you ask for from a Physican office?

Uri May 24, 2023

I went at 2pm on a Tuesday and was the only patient. I was quickly taken in for an X-ray and then the PA met with me to discuss it. She explained my toe fracture and treatment plan. I was in and out in 30 minutes. I highly recommend. My Aetna insurance covered my visit with a $45/copay. I preferred going here over urgent care because they are ortho specialists and can provide diagnosis and treatment. There was plenty of parking in the attached lot. The office next door is full of orthopedic doctors requiring an appointment. The X-ray machines and x ray tech are shared by both offices.

Sherry Apr 11, 2023

I spent HOURS calling every Othro in my network to try and get an appt only to find out most are weeks out. When you’re in pain, that’s just simply too long to be uncomfortable. I found the walk-in ortho clinic through google and headed straight over. I was seen within 30 min of arriving and overall spent less than 2 hours in the office. The staff were all very kind and accommodating. I’m so glad to have found this office! There’s was a little confusion with Walgreens about my prescription and they handled it very quickly and professionally.

Aynsley Apr 03, 2023

Kevin Mar 30, 2023

I had the greatest experience at Fort Lauderdale Ortho Walk-in. I called Monday morning thinking I had fractured an arm to verify that I could be treated and my insurance was accepted there. I arrived and didn't even finish my intake papers before being brought into a treatment room. I was immediately assessed and told I would need an x-ray. Not 2 minutes before I was taken for 2 quick scans, then immediately followed by Dr. David L. Nigen who had reviewed the x-ray. Fortunately I did not have a fracture, and the Doctor followed up with testing to see if I had damged tendons. I had a very thorough exam and was given instructions on how to set myself up for a quicker recovery. Every interaction from intake through billing was efficient and quick. I would absolutely go here for any other non-emergency issues.

Chuck Mar 20, 2023

Great local. Everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable. Doctor Nigel is amazing. So Glad we found him.

Carolina Mar 08, 2023

I have been coming to see Doctor Wells for about 10 years now, and I don't know what I would do without him and his staff. He does MRi's and xrays right there at the location, injections that you need, physical therapy, one stop shop! Everyone is so great!!!

The Mid Life Traveler Lexie Mar 07, 2023

I broke my ankle in November 2023 and had surgery in early December 2023. Dr. Nigen was my surgeon and he did an excellent job with the surgery as well as his staff who were super friendly. I would definitely recommend these guys for any ortho needs!

Ethan Feb 15, 2023

The staff and doctors are great, and being able to walk in is fantastic. It can get busy at times, but well worth it if you’re injured and need help right away. Their prices are very reasonable as well, they could be charging a premium for walk in services and they don’t.

Amber Feb 03, 2023

Great friendly staff!

Caroline Jan 21, 2023

Great staff. Short wait. Professional.

Laura Jan 12, 2023

All the doctor know what they are doing and are very much good. That's the only reason I go there because they know what they are doing.😀😀😀

Doretha Jan 03, 2023

I was so impressed with Dr. Nigen when I first met him. My opinion has only grown more positive. He’s professional and personable. He has taken the time to clearly explain my options.

Ira Nov 02, 2022

Saw Dr. Nigen for shoulder issues. I found his services excellent, thorough when explaining my issues and options, and was very satisfied with the care provided.

Ralroy Oct 06, 2022

I’ve come here for multiple issues and have been visiting this office for about 4 years now. This orthopedic center was first recommended to me from my own husband’s great experience with ankle issues. I first went here for a broken toe and I’m now being seen for an ongoing arm issue. The staff is friendly and it’s easy to make an appointment. When you get to the office the experience is just as easy and the doctor spends ample time with you and you are taken care of in a timely manner. What’s also nice is they have an X ray machine and an MRI machine right on site super convenient. Such a great staff and doctors wish they did more than orthopedics!

Jay Oct 05, 2022

Awesome experience. Decided to go have my my knee, checked out and walked out before noon with my knee feeling much better. Going back soon to have my shoulder looked at.
