Dr Mixa cut a nerve during my surgery and my whole should waisted away. Now I live with pain for life. Run don't walk away from him...

Had my first appointment with Dr Mixa and liked him and his staff immediately! I'm getting a knee replacement done on the 27th. He has great reviews! read more

Dr Mixa is a terrific surgeon and very knowledgeable man. I broke my right hip in December. His office took care of me every time I called. His PA Mrs Mixa saw me in the hospital. Any time I called her she got back to me with no problem. I've had several problems with my other Doctors not taking the time to listen to their patients. If I I need an appointment or have questions he said just call. Excellent customer service. My customer service career has been over 60 years. I'm always looking for a great experience and received it at their office. Definitely will refer his practice. read more

The doctor was great, no BS trying to get me to try other treatments or run around. He diagnosed the problem and was honest about the need for surgery and expected outcomes. The entire team was quick and efficient with my care. I would definitely recommend and go back to him read more

I brought my mom here for her appointment. I can't even begin to explain the experience, so I will try to make it short and sweet. - We waited about 2-2.5 hours past her scheduled appointment before even being seen. - The waiting room was like something out of a movie. Completely filled with equally-agitated patients that were all still there well past their appointment times. - There was a mother with a child who was running completely rampant; digging through a flower pot, throwing magazines on the floor, etc. - It gets better. There was also a really loud woman that informed us all that she was going to meet with Governor Ron DeSantis later that week about something to do with healthcare and that she was going to implore that he sign off on some bill. Learn to read the room, lady. - We finally get into a room for mom's appointment. The first assistant drops her file all over the floor. All of the assistants are super rushed and clearly flustered. - The second assistant (the one reading through the file and reviewing x-rays) says that a certain x-ray is not present in the file. I inform him he's wrong and point it out. - In walks Dr. Mixa himself. Finally. He spends all of 5 minutes with us and never even made eye contact. He provided some feedback, wrote down the suggested medications and next steps, and he was gone in an instant. Dr. Mixa's office takes on WAY too many patients and tries to cram them in like cattle. Their reputation is going down the drain (seriously, counting this review, 4 out of 5 of your Yelp reviews are 1 star, and you have 2 Google reviews and STILL have a 3/5 rating), and his employees are pushed to their limits. Take some pride in your field and stop taking on so many appointments just to get that sweet health insurance payout. The overarching theme is that this office does not value the well being of its patients. Instead, it puts money first and tries to capitalize on it at the expense of people's health -- both mentally and physically. My mental stability was definitely tested when I had to sit in his waiting room alone. Take a wild guess at whether or not I will take my mother here again. read more

I too had my run in with Dr. Mixa and strongly encourage all to submit their own complaints and reviews to the Western Florida Better Business Bureau as I have. My visit to Dr. Mixa was for excruciating / debilitating knee pain caused by what's known as a Baker's cyst which Dr. Mixa diagnosed it's cause to be a torn meniscus and explained the permanent remedy to be surgery which was promptly scheduled that same day by his office staff. I subsequently learned the proper protocol for Dr. Mixa"s diagnoses was NOT followed and would have required an MRI which Dr. Mixa DID NOT prescribe. I then sought a second and third Orthopedist's opinion whom prescribed, read and provided a written analysis of an MRI which concluded NO torn meniscus and absolutely NO reason for my very expensive scheduled surgery. I shared the MRI disk with Dr. Mixa and requested he submit his own written analysis prior to surgery and he REFUSED. My knee and wallet are just fine and i would STAY AWAY from this doctor read more

Dr Mixa has helped me with my foot issue through him properly diagnosing my issue and treating conservatively and ended up performing surgery on my foot. I had gone to multiple podiatrists complaining and was never told what was actually the issue of my foot pain. I was relieved that there was a treatment which resulted in surgery. My surgery was last Sept and I'm still recovering and following up with Dr Mixa. He is very considerate and attentive during the visits and hopefully my issue will end in time. I have everything positive to say. Recommend him as a ortho dr. read more

Try to avoid this office and Evette the receptionist at all costs! Dr Mixa FORGOT to look at one of my finances MRI'S 6 months ago, and since he is still having many issues we investigated more, and found out the Doctor who took the MRI made notes and noted a growth. They are now saying it could be a cancerous growth. Take your life into your own hands and please visit another orthopedic surgeon. read more

I started seeing Dr. mixa and his team 3 years ago for my Right Knee. He was very sweet and actually listened to what I was saying and feeling. He pushed me to try PT and I did cortisone shots, it wasn't working so I opt to scope it and he told me it didn't look great but he would do all he could to treat the issues as I was 32. As a nurse I pushed and pushed and I think tore a meniscus again and we scoped it again and he told me I needed to continue with PT and muscle training to build up the muscle. As time went I could no longer do the things needed for my job. So, I tried to see other Orthopedics and get opinions and none would do surgery other than repair as I was to young and insurance would never approve it. I needed a replacement and I knew it. I went back to Mixa and he said let's take this one step at a time we have to prove to the Insurance company this is necessary we did MRI, X-ray and a bone scan. There was no doubt I need A total Knee Replacement of the right knee. We got in finally did it. At 35 I thought this was going to be cake but he reminded me that I had so much damage and had already gone through 2 procedures that this was gonna be hard. It has been harder than I though but his ARNP Martha, Dr mixa and his staff have been so supportive and helpful. Even checking in to make sure I have everything I need and making sure I am following through with what I need to. I have nothing but appreciation for this office staff and am glad I chose this Team for surgery. read more

Mixa Orthopedics - A new beginning. 3 hours after surgery - Orthopedists Near Me - South Pasadena, Florida

I went to Dr MIXA about three years ago. I was suffering from severe knee pain. I had tried everything (meds, injections, braces, ice/heat) but the arthritis had caused too much damage. I searched the internet reading reviews from people who had had a total knee replacement and boy, was I scared. I found Dr. MIXA to be a very professional and knowledgeable doctor. He explained the problem with my knee and the choices I had. We discussed what the TKR entailed and what the recuperation would be like. I was scared, needless to say, but I could not continue with the pain I was experiencing. Long story short, Dr MIXA did an amazing job. My knee is pain free and I am able to do all those things I couldn't do before. I highly recommend Dr MIXA, and if ever the need arises, would go back to him again. read more

I have had it with this doctor. He did surgery on my thumb years ago and then I had to go to All Florida Orthopedic to get it done right. Then when he did a total hip replacement on me about 5 years ago, I have had a lot of problems with it since. Then, most recently when I went to him for my shoulder, I went through all the tests at the hospital. The day before my surgery, that woman who schedules his surgeries, calls me to tell me that they don't take my insurance and I have to pay before the surgery. So no surgery. Guess what? My insurance is acceptable at his office. WTF are they pulling. read more

I am handicapped for life because of this man's incompetence. It took years for the deformity to develop on my foot so I can't take the scoundrel to court. He's an incompetent, arrogant buffoon. Her spent three minutes in the room never got close to me (I am a retired teacher). I asked for five minutes of his time lately to see how to ease the pain, he said it would cost me $750. Beware. read more

This doctor did a knee revision surgery on me in July 2015. It is now loose and needs to be replaced again. When I returned to the office for a consult he had no idea who I was and who did the surgery. He barely spoke to me, did his dictation and told me to schedule surgery again and he fled the room. When you are either too lazy or too busy to check a chart before you enter the exam room, you are seeing too many people. His office is always crowded and usually contains screaming children as his patients seem to bring their entire families with them for the appointments and wait times are always over an hour. His staff is barely polite. The day I was there, BCBS was having a problem on their end in regards to coverage. Even knowing it was BCBS's issue, the staff refused to work with those having this problem and were turning us away from our scheduled appointments. I would never return there or recommend him to anyone. read more

I was scheduled by Dr. Mixa and his office to have trigger finger surgery tomorrow, I received a call 14 hours before surgery today, to cancel as Dr. Mixa's notes had diagnosed me with Dupuytrens contraction, and they weren't set up for that for tomorrow. It was also further stated that he had referred me to another doctor, anyway. Then how did this go so far since May 22 that I was scheduled for an incorrect surgery, that was not caught till 14 hours before. I am totally glad that this confused organization was not able to take a knife to me. Dan Christofel read more
