Cf. Bingham, 654 F.3d at 1176 ("[A] defendant who delays necessary treatment for non-medical reasons may exhibit deliberate indifference.") (emphasis added); see also Turner v. Solorzano, 228 F. App'x 922, 924 (11th Cir. 2007) ("Turner cannot establish deliberate indifference based solely on his desire to receive some other kind of care.").
Disputes regarding the level of treatment or the existence of other treatment options do not alone evidence cruel and unusual punishment. Estelle, 429 U.S. at 107; Hamm v. DeKalb County, 774 F.2d 1567, 1575 (11th Cir. 1985); Turner v. Solorzano, 2007 WL 1217882, at *2 (11th Cir. 2007). A difference of opinion over matters of medical judgment does not give rise to a constitutional claim.
This again was not deliberate indifference. See Bismark v. Fisher, 213 F. App'x 892, 897 (11th Cir. 2007) (affirming summary judgment for a prison doctor who examined the plaintiff and determined that special shoes were unnecessary, despite an outside podiatrist's prescription for special shoes); Turner v. Solorzano, 228 F. App'x 922, 923-24 (11th Cir. 2007) (affirming summary judgment against a prisoner with an amputated toe who did not get soft shoes). Nor did Dr. Perez prescribe a wheelchair.

A difference of opinion over matters of medical judgment does not give rise to a constitutional claim.
