I was fortunate to have found Dr. Otte at Coastal Orthopedics in Lakewood Ranch, after I had a traumatic fall in early spring, severely fracturing my shoulder, and needed an emergency shoulder replacement. At the time, I was in incredible pain and worried because everything had been shut down because of COVID restrictions, and many offices were not accepting patients. Thankfully, he was willing to step up during the crisis to assist me with a reverse shoulder replacement, and make it work with what I had left from the fractu... read more

While seeing an orthopedic surgeon isn't always planned or expected, we're happy you chose us for your care and are so glad to hear how well you are doing!
Dr. Otte did surgery to repair the rotator cuff in my shoulder and the results were excellent. When I first went to see him he did a thorough exam and diagnosed the problem but we decided to try physical therapy for a few months to make sure that surgery was necessary. I was very pleased with the surgery and had very little pain during the recovery. I was almost fully recovered after 16 weeks of physical therapy. Dr. Otte and his staff supported me and were very responsive to my needs through the whole process.
Dr. Otte is a caring physician who explains things well, and listens to his patients, and answers questions clearly. His staff is very supportive. My whole experience with reverse shoulder replacement was positive from first visit to my one-year follow-up, where I could truly say I had forgotten about the surgery, was pain-free after years of discomfort, and enjoying the use of my arm again.

We are so glad to hear how well you are doing and that your surgery was successful. Thank you for the review!
Dr. Otte and his team were 'rock stars'. Jonelle, his assistant, called back very quickly. Dr. Otte is a world class surgeon. I was just lucky he was in my back yard for my total shoulder replacement. We are very lucky to have he and his team at Coastal. 6 stars... Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! We are happy to hear how well you are doing!
Dr. Otte and his team at Coastal were absolutely incredible. From my 1st appointment to my discharge, the team at Coastal were true professionals. I would HIGHLY recommend their services if needed. (I had a rotator cuff repair, bicep repair, and work on my clavicle) At our house, we call Dr. Otte the shoulder whisperer.
Eight weeks after Dr. Otte gave me a shoulder replacement and it’s amazing. After suffering for over 20 years, my pain is gone and my shoulder feels great. It is like new....even the stitches are invisible! I have had bilateral knee replacements and a hip replacement so I know what I’m talking about when I say that Coastal Orthopedics and especially his patients are lucky to have him. I highly recommend Dr. Otte, and simply put...he is the best!
Dr. Otte and the overall practice at Coastal Orthopedics has been amazing. I had a shoulder fracture, and they were able to get me in quickly to see Dr. Otte, schedule imaging and physical therapy. All of these services are provided through their offices which makes scheduling easier and more efficient. Dr. Otte was thorough, and even called me during his week off to discuss my scan results. He also consulted with his partners to confirm I didn’t need surgery. I appreciate also that they don’t rush to surgery there, and are ... read more
Dr Otte is a magical surgeon! I went from what it felt like a spike being driven in to my shoulder to no pain. The reverse shoulder replacement he performed is excellent! I am so glad I was able to meet him and and honored to have such a talented surgeon to perform the surgery! I highly recommend Dr Otte to anyone that needs his talents to relieve your pain. Between Dr Otte and the staff at PT: Ryan, Alexis and everyone there do an excellent job on getting your arm or whatever body part back moving correctly. Thank You, Than... read more
