I recently sought care from Dr. Brown and her team at SpinePain & Orthopedic Injury Center for a…read moreserious and complex condition. Dr. Brown is highly competent in her field. Another doctor in the BayCare system told me, "Oh, Dr. Brown? She's excellent." Based on her diagnosis and treatment, I believe it. She's action-oriented, determined, and clearly committed to making a positive impact. I also received exceptional care from one of her nurses, Jessica, who called me after hours to check on my condition. Unfortunately, my experience gets mixed from there. You'll see negative reviews of this practice, and here's my read on why. Dr. Brown is brilliantly competent, but she can come across as cold and unempathetic. I say this as a leadership psychologist (Dr. Brown -- you should reach out to me; I can help). I noticed the same thing with another assistant of hers: highly competent, but no warmth in the communication. That's not uncommon in medicine. It's unfortunate, because this team is brilliant with the Xs and Os. It's the Jills and Joes part that could use some elevation. Then came the moment I lost some trust. I had a flare-up and was in a lot of pain. I called and asked for a same-day appointment. The person at the front desk said, "I think we can get you in here or at our other facility. I'll call you back with a time." She never called. I'm guessing it was a simple oversight by someone overwhelmed with other tasks, and I could have called back myself -- that's on me. But the follow-through was Dr. Brown's responsibility. She's the leader. It was disappointing, and I lost some trust. I'm still rooting for Dr. Brown and her office, and I will try them again. Everyone makes mistakes. But this time, it will be with hesitation.

I recently went for a wellness check with Dr Wallace turned into horrible meeting. We were going…read moreover the results of my lab work which he had forgotten to bring with him. He reported I had high cholesterol scores which could lead to stroke heart attack, and he then proceeded to go over the 30 other blood test results and when I wanted to go back to the one that he flagged as a problem high cholesterol and he said oh, he already told me the score. Very dismissive. I tried writing down the scores he told me don't bother he would give me the sheet. He asked why I wasn't coming every six months and I said I wasn't aware there was a problem. I asked to see last year's score and they couldn't do that due to a computer glitch. He seemed annoyed that I wanted to ask questions I told him I didn't appreciate that and then he stated it seemed we're having problems communicating. At that point I just said we've always had this problem and then he just got up left room and terminated me as a patient. When I first started seeing him his niece would come into write notes on each visit. I recommend he go back to that.

He's kind, caring and takes the time to explain his diagnosis, medical advice, prescriptions, and more. He has gotten us through a few surgical procedures and emergency situations. Melissa, his assistant is a no-nonsense professional who somehow manages the busy phone lines and hectic flow of seniors in and out of the waiting room. One thing I'll never forget is calling his office on a Sunday to leave a message about needing a Rx. He answered the phone and I was able to get antibiotics on a Sunday without going to a pharmacy clinic.

I saw him for a hammertoe on my L second left toe. He never fixed it!! He decided to rearrange my toes because he did not like the spacing between a couple of them even though they matched my other foot perfectly. He inserted a rod into my big toe and turned it inward to close a space between that and the hammertoe, then he moved the hammertoe closer to my third toe so closely that I can barely get a washcloth in there. He left my metatarsal bulging on the top surface of my foot and in doing so, a pocket formed under it that filled with puss that had to be cleaned out throughout the healing process. Then he put me on antibiotics because I was in great pain even though I have profound Peripheral Neuropathy (no Diabetes here) and proceeded to prescribe only 7 days at a time. The pain came back full force at the end of each stint because 7 days was not enough. I had to beg him to leave me on it for a longer period before it was finally cleared up. And AFTER ALL THIS, my hammertoe was NEVER FIXED because enough of the bone was eaten away by infection. He left me a HUGE Medicare bill which they paid thankfully, but he caused me great pain and anguish, I missed a planned visit to one of my sons prearranged in great detail, and now the hammertoe can NEVER BE FIXED because it was eaten away by infection and is now very reduced in size.
