I call there Brandon office today 7/1/24 and all i got was the number for the Dr. Administrative assistant with no voice mail. I am a nurse and FOI does not deserve a one STAR, but that the only way it would post this review

Both my husband and I have come here out of convenience to see an orthopedoc doctor for sports…read moreinjuries relating to running - the office is closest to our house and only one of a few Ortho docs in the area. ** We've had bad experiences every time we've come here ** 1) Each time we've both waited almost an hour and a half or more just to be seen - I understand waiting at the doctor's office, but going on lunch break or before or after work it's not feasible to get in at the time appointments are made 2) While waiting, we just hear the staff is right outside of our door chatting about. There's no one checking in on you, they bring you into a room, tell you to wait and you're in there..for a while. While you hear them outside just talking about their weekends and other nonsense. 3) The Doctors we've seen aren't geniune or friendly. They're very straight forward and want to see you repeatedly to eat up your insurance. Even when there's no need, they recommend PT at their partner office instead of working through self care. 4) The front staff is clueless about insurance benefits and I've seen them use a 'cheat sheet' for reference - they go back and forth asking others questions instead of knowing how to process payment 5) Surgery is always encouraged here. I've been for a cyst on my food where surgery was my 'only option' for relief, when I ended up having it go away on its own eventually and with self care. My husband had 1 surgery, no proper care or follow up afterwards, and ended up needing a second surgery to get him to running again. It took almost 2 years total. I am definitely going to another to orthopedic doc going forward. I'm currently marathon training and will need care ongoing - but want to find a trustworthy doctor. I'd would rather drive farther to see a better doctor.

Last year I started having back pain that was radiating down my thigh and was impacting my ability to move around. They recommended Dr Coulter try active release therapy (ART) on my lower back. It has made an amazing difference for me and I am so glad I was able to find a solution that had made such a difference. The office here is great and I would recommend them to anyone!

Both Dr. Thomas and Dr. Mark are amazing at what they do! Some backstory, I had gone to two…read moredifferent podiatrists to treat my plantar fasciitis... both did not help me or work out and only made my pain worse. I was at the point of getting surgery but decided to come here first to see if maybe getting adjustments/alignments could help me. Dr. Mark was my initial chiropractor and he was very caring, thoughtful, and informative about what he's doing, where he's adjusting, and the process of the what he thought was the best treatment. He recommended Dr. Thomas! Dr. Thomas is also a chiropractor however he specializes in muscle tissue breakdown - longer story even short, Dr. Thomas has relieved damn near all the pain and inflammation I had/felt in my legs and feet. I went from this being my last resort and going to surgery to visiting Dr. Thomas every so often or when I feel my legs starting to get tense on me. The pain that I had compared to where I'm at now is night and day. I went from having to always have shoes on even to walk around my house to being comfortable in sandals and flip flops for HOURS without ANY pains in the slightest. I'm very grateful to have found this practice and the amazing individuals who work here as well. The entire staff is very friendly, engaging, and they certainly make you feel like you're important.

Shortly after I arrived I was taken to the back to begin the therapy session. I had never done Flowpresso before, but I have done manual lymphatic massages at home. However, to get the full benefits and make sure you're targeting all areas of the body, going to a licensed therapist who can do lymphatic massages or a place that offers Flowpresso is the best way to ensure you cover all areas of your body where you're feeling pain and fatigue. I enjoyed the 40-50min and will definitely book my next appointment!

I was told Try boot my friend had ask the doctor. What about a Cortizone shot he said I can try it. It worked wonders until I fell amazing till I fell at the images for an x-ray no MRI no CAT scan. I asked if insurance covered was told no my insurance Company said it said my girlfriend suggested maybe a He said I can try it end up working amazing which was done by Dr. Loewy three days before I fell my foot was absolutely fine then I fell into a pothole went back to Dr Loewy you have some tears just that you need surgery. Nothing was mentioned of any bone fusions that I can remember. I went had surgery. It's 2024 we're now 2026. My surgery was a non-Union, which means that the screws put in to fuse the bones failed. There's no fusion the screws. Both 4 inches are in there doing God only knows what problem is not many doctors that I've seen don't wanna touch it so I turn 61 a few months and this is what I'm stuck with i'm not here to say anything badly about anyone. I'm here. Just to tell people if you told you need surgery, I don't care how good the doctors ratings reviews are. I wish I had gotten several more opinions now I have to go back in. Have it fixed if I can find a job to do it, I'm praying to God there's hope I've been told bone grafts maybe necessary so much work from looking at RECENT MRI And CT scan Several Drs told me your foot of course will Never be the same all I want is to walk without pain that literally takes your breath away and pain doesn't get so bad I passed out Thankfully I wasn't alone I have not heard from the Dr only when.I called to inform his department that it was non union I was asked do you want to come in see Dr Loewy my Response absolutely Not my life's still on hold I'm not even old to get into a relationship I'm just to Embarrassed the Pain being the first second the way it looks only thing I'm happy with is the scars but I used cream daily and I was Released from Florida orthopedic Institute PHYSICAL THERAPY on Boyette as I was told we cannot continue to work with you. Things are not getting better for getting worse please see a second opinion we have to protect our license they must be affiliated. They have the same name and they stopped my PHYSICAL THERAPY a long time ago but there a certain period you have to wait for insurance purposes. It's 13 months but when I saw one doctor and he told me if it's not start to show fusing months ago, it's not gonna fuse in five days. I asked you do this type of procedure. His response was I would not feel comfortable doing this procedure on you I got that from two separate doctors hopefully the next surgeon I see they will have a different opinion just please please get several opinions. Write down everything that said in that office between you and the doctor because this surgery did a lot more than the picture show and I'm left to fight this battle hopefully quickly and such a long recovery emotionally depressed me because I went through it the entire holiday season severe depression. I didn't want to see anybody I usually spend Christmas Eve with my granddaughter, to watch her open her gifts the next day, I missed out on that because I didn't want to ruin their day them seeing me in so much pain in the cast so every holiday Thanksgiving Christmas New Year's I was alone no one should never have to go through this. I pray surgeons and says I can fix it. That would be the best gift I could receive.
