Hanff Stephen A MD, Trinity FL

Dr. Haff did my double hip surgery, replaced, two years ago. Excellent care from not only him but his staff that works at the office. Dr. Haff was very supportive before surgery and right before they put me to sleep not forgetting his surgery team! I couldn't have asked for better support before the surgery as if they had been my own friends or family and they really didn't have to be! I was not a little scared very much scared. Even a 68 year old woman gets scared. This took place at Trinity Hospital Aug. 8,2021 during Covid. I almost delayed the surgery because there was so much talk of getting COVID at any hospital. Trinity staff took every precaution to make sure that everything and everyone was protective before during and after my week-long stay. After surgery like this they have you up walking some with the physical therapy person who couldn't have been any nicer supportive and explaining what was going on and what was to happen until I went to a rehab center. I had to stay like I said about a week because I have multiple sclerosis and it decided to act up plus had to have a blood transfusion not because I lost so much blood it was because I was anemic before the surgery plus I had problems with my blood pressure not being normal it wasn't high it constantly was low and in the mist of all of this going on we found out I had a kidney infection, this was NOT due to the surgery I had it before hand but wasn't bad enough to pick up before surgery. So I was doing very very well with the hip surgery part it was all the other medical problems I had and again this medical stuff was going on before surgery it just wasn't bad enough to pick up before surgery or they wouldn't have done the surgery. Once the medical was taken care of I was released taken to rehab where I stayed and learned how to walk all over again. My condition was so much different than someone healthy due to the MS and had been in the wheelchair for almost 3 years before hand due to not only the hips being so bad I couldn't walk but due to what damage the MS had done to my legs and the nerves, not walking for almost 3 years legs were very weak, lost muscle tone along with the lower back plus had a very bad sciatic nerve on the left. Rehab taught me to not only walk again with the Walker but worked on rebuilding the muscles to strengthen them with a lot of hard work on my side and being taught the correct exercises to do. After rehab off to his office to have the stitches removed. You should see how I was stitched up and the incision on both legs 2 years later you can hardly see where I was stitched up and how precise and straight the lines were cut that's the work of Dr. Haff! Not a vain person but I'm so proud of my incisions I show them off as much as anyone will look. All I did was put some cream on them twice a day I got the cream off of HSN by Beekman that uses goat milk in the mixture. Sorry for making this review so long about Dr. Hanff but he so changed my life and took all that horrible, awful constant pain away where I'm NOT on all those pain meds anymore. They always ask you what's your pain level from

0 to 10 mine was 500 on a good day at a bad day 1,000, pick a number over 1,000 that's exactly how I was feeling. Anyone that's in constant exhilarating horrible nasty pain you know exactly what I mean about the 500 to1,000+ on a pain level! Dr. Haff gave me back my life and it's hardly ever that he does double hip surgery! Dr made a deal with me he would do the double surgery but I'm the one that had to do the work twice as much because it's the two that need the work not one. I'm so proud of myself but the work doesn't stop after rehab or a year or two, it's an everyday job to keep these hips moving, the blood flowing so they will be working the correct way and not freezing up. God gave me a second chance at living that I didn't have for the last 10 years as the hips became worse and worse Dr Haff gave me the hips so I can enjoy my life what I have left I thank God and Dr Hanff Every Day Need your hips replaced Go See the brilliant Dr

Very friendly staff. Knowledge doctor who take time to answer questions and don't rush you. Has restroom in waiting room and its clean. Was able to get me in quickly. Has online portal to help move things quicker and you have access to your information quicker too.

This office is run like a well-oiled machine. Having worked for doctors for over 30 years, that’s the highest compliment I can pay. I was taken on time. The doctor diagnosed me in 5 minutes and I was on my way. Very pleasant and great bedside manner. Hopefully I won’t have to return but if I have to, I’d return in a heartbeat!

Dr. Stephen Hanff is a very skilled, knowledgeable and caring doctor. He cares about his patients and he is always willing to help. I highly recommend his services. Florida Joint Care Institute is a state of the art facility and the staff provides professional care.

I have gone to Dr Hanff for two different injuries over past five years, and I cannot recommend him enough. He is truly the best in the area. I had a very painful shoulder injury, and it is now pain free thanks to Dr Hanff. What a relief! I know I had the best care possible.

I had a great visit and experience. The staff was very helpful and the wait was minimal. Dr. Hanff was very knowledgeable and treated me very well.

Dr. Hanff is a skilled and compassionate surgeon - undoubtedly the best in the area. I have recommended him to all my family and friends.

I am a Dr.hanff patient and also a Physical Therapist at an unaffiliated clinic nearby. I see Dr. Hanff's patients on on a regular basis. He performs the best hip surgeries, hands down, in the Tampa Bay region. Total hips, particular anterior approaches, rarely need much rehab.

Some patients may not like that he says "no" when they are not good candidates for surgery. That is not a sign of an incompetent surgeon. That's a sign of a surgeon that makes solid clinical decisions in the the best interest of his patients.

He is a great Ortho, generous, and compassionate. I will recommend him all day.

I have seen Dr Stephen Hanff numerous times over the past 8 years and he has diagnosed my knee and shoulder problems using x-rays and manipulation. He has administrated pain relieving shots (cortisone or equivalent) and prescribed physical therapy. In each case my pain was significantly reduced or eliminated.
I have enthusiastically recommended him to my family and friends. They have had hip and knee replacements and they were just as pleased with his treatment as I have been.

Dr Hanff is so amazing. He really cares about how you feel as a patient and truly wants you to get better. He is one of the best doctors I have ever been to.

Dr. Hanff comes highly recommended! He performed a hip replacement for a friend of mine and he had nothing but positive things to say about his experience! He was professional, thorough, kind, and an excellent doctor!

Stephen is one of the most reliable and knowledge Dr’s and surgeons I know. He’s our first phone call when one of the kids or adults in our family gets injured!

Dr. Hanff is a caring, kind, and skilled doctor. He helped both of my daughters after sports injuries!

Dr Hanff was able to diagnose my joint issue very quickly. The exercises and treatment plan he suggested worked! I found him very personable and knowledgeable and easy to discuss the problems I was having with. Would highly recommend!

Dr. Hanff is very professional and knowledgable. He provided detailed information that I could understand. Wonderful staff who were caring and thorough. Would highly recommend!

Dr Stephen Hanff repaired my torn meniscus and treated me with cortisone shots for pain. In both situations my outcomes were successful and I am back to my normal activities. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, but he is also a caring individual with a very respectful and responsive approach to his patient.

They called and told me that my statement came back to them and that it was undeliverable, Because they put the wrong Address, they were going to send it to collections? I brought in MRIs, and all records and they still said they needed to do an x-ray. Maybe they should’ve looked at the insurance card I gave them the address and I gave them on the paperwork. No need for rudeness.

A great caring surgeon, I have recommended Dr Hanff to several people. My knee replacement was successful and also want to give out a shout to his rehab. They are exceptional. A great atmosphere also, everyone is very nice.
