    Dr Patel and PA-C Scott Talbert were amazing. They cared how best to alleviate my pain and bring…read moreabout a positive result. Both surgeries were successful and I am now able to resume a normal way of life. Great team!!!! Thanks also too, Jenny, who was the surgical coordinator and did an amazing job making sure that my appointments and surgery went as smoothly as possible. She's an extra star in their team. KWOC's personnel were always courteous and helpful.

    Title: A Nightmare Experience--Listen to Your Instincts and Seek a Second Opinion…read more I chose Dr. Stolarski for my April 2024 knee replacement based on his reputation and promised technology. Unfortunately, my experience was the worst of my life. Pre-Op & Concierge Fees: I was not allowed to speak with Dr. Stolarski until the week before surgery. He dismissed my pre-op MRI, stating he only needed to know I was "bone on bone." I requested a titanium knee, not a "smart knee." During this time, his staff suggested a $10,000 out-of-pocket "concierge fee" if I wanted faster appointments and direct access to the doctor who was operating on me. I declined. On surgery day, Dr. Stolarski never checked on me pre-op, post-op, or spoke to my family in person. Months of Dismissed Pain: Immediately, my home therapist noticed my knee would not bend. For months, I suffered from severe pain, swelling, and heat." It took 5 months of exhausting physical therapy to get my knee to bend but the severe pain and tightness remained. Despite a normal MRI at 8 months and bone testing at 12 months I was dismissed, told I had "anxiety," and that everything was "perfect!" I begged Dr. Stolarski and his PAs for help with finding cause of the pain. In August 2025, a medical assistant--not the medical team--suggested metal testing. I paid to expedite bloodwork through a Chicago lab and discovered a nickel allergy. In October 2025, Dr. Stolarski coldly told me if I wasn't better now, I never would be, and suggested a total revision. The Truth Found Out of State: In January 2026, I sought a second opinion in Atlanta. Within 15 minutes of looking at new X-rays and my metal testing results, that surgeon revealed the truth: my knee was overstuffed (too big), the kneecap was too thick, and despite my requests for titanium, the implant was made with nickel. Recovery: I had a knee revision in Atlanta in January, 2026. On day one, I could sit in a chair with my knee bent at 90 degrees. Five months post-op, I am hiking mountains in North Carolina completely pain-free. Dr. Stolarski's office either completely missed glaring issues on my X-rays or chose to ignore them. To them, you are just a number. If you are hurting after your knee replacement and being dismissed in Florida, trust your gut and leave the State for a second opinion.

The are two admin that work the front desk, Linda and Maria who are professional, helpful, and friendly.  The entire group work together as a team, and have postive attitudes. All the therapist's knowledge and education are up to date, so they can find solutions for your treatment and pain. Tony has the ability to think outside the box which helps him make conclusion from his experience.  He was able to see that my pain was not just my knee but also my hips contributing to my pain. I found out he was correct after x-rays were taken of my hips at my doctor's office. All the therapists are patient with the treatment process and remains compassionate when working with challenging patients, like me.  They set realistic goals for me that were achievable. All the therapists had effective communication with me and my doctor by providing progress notes.  What I found was the entire group genuinely care, have compassion and empathy.  They understand how you feel, and they try to see your situation from your perspective.  I highly recommend Gulf Shore Physical Therapy because they provide the best care.
