Terrible billing department. Received four Bills over four months since my last appt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Billing agent at the practice told me that she couldn't see where they had sent me any previous emails either.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So I paid that bill with a different credit card than the one on file. I thought at that point it was over. Nope a few days later they charge me again on the previous credit card that I had used. Without authorization. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The billing department has both people out now so I can't even talk to anyone about the issue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Now, while waiting for one of them to get back in the office... I just received another email saying my payment is due.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Be very careful with billing this practice has issues with it. read more

Nice waiting room. It's spacious and clean. Best part, the waiting area has a women's and men's restroom. No sharing. This has to be the cleanest Dr's office I've been in, since living in Florida. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The nurse was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was in and out in no time. I would recommend them read more

I have been coming here for about a year as a patient of the nurse practitioner Alexis. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She is so kind and really takes the time to listen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She has helped me so much with my back pain and the office staff is always quick to get me in with a problem . Dr Beatty has been great as well with my injections. I truly trust them as providers. I'd highly recommend this office. Their PT team is great as well! Overall a great experience read more

In February, 2025, Dr. James performed a total knee replacement of my left knee. I'm 75 years old, and before the surgery, I'd been suffering for years with knee pain and increasingly limited mobility due to joint deterioration. From the first visit, during the surgery, and through all follow-up visits, Dr. James and his staff have been skilled, professional, and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They listen carefully to my concerns and respond thoughtfully, presenting me with a variety of treatment options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. James carefully and accurately explains what I should expect during and after each treatment we agree upon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The knee replacement was a total success! Confident that I could handle post-operative pain with prescribed medications, physical therapy, and the support of the Orthopedic Specialists' staff, I was relaxed as I arrived at the hospital for surgery. The weeks following the surgery passed without complications and with no surprises. Within a month post-surgery, I was walking confidently around the block, often without a cane or walker! As I address other orthopedic concerns in the future, I will confidently rely on Dr. James on his staff. read more

I was referred to Orthopedic Specialists on March 2024 by a close family friend, following a failed total knee replacement I had undergone approximately six months earlier. Instead of experiencing gradual recovery, my condition was steadily deteriorating, leaving me increasingly debilitated. Desperate for answers and relief, I sought a second opinion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]During my initial visit, I was referred internally to Dr. Christopher "Chris" James, an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in complications related to total knee replacements. From the very beginning, Dr. James demonstrated genuine understanding and compassion regarding my situation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He carefully listened to my concerns and took the time to gather all relevant medical records and surgical documentation. He thoroughly assessed my current condition and clearly explained his findings and theories as to why I was in pain and not healing as expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] His thoughtful and methodical approach gave me a renewed sense of hope. It was evident that he aimed to understand the full scope of my case before recommending a path forward. Although I was eager to undergo a revision surgery, Dr. James emphasized the importance of exploring other treatment options before making such a significant and irreversible decision. His guidance was both reassuring and empowering, helping me to feel that I was finally on the right path toward recovery. After several months under Dr. James' care and treatment plan, he determined that a revision surgery would be necessary for my full recovery. Although the thought of undergoing a second knee surgery within a year made me apprehensive, I felt reassured knowing that Dr. James would be performing the procedure. I had full confidence in his expertise and compassion, and it gave me hope that this time, I might finally heal properly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. James' unwavering commitment to my health was evident at every appointment. He always took the time to listen attentively to my feedback and concerns, and he made sure I clearly understood his recommendations before proceeding with each step in the treatment process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In June 2024, I underwent my revision surgery, and I'm happy to say it was a success. As always, Dr. James thoroughly explained his surgical approach, what to expect during recovery, and the long-term outlook. His attention to detail and dedication to patient care never wavered. Now, in June 2025, while I am still in the healing process, I can confidently say I am a walking testament to Dr. James' skill, care, and commitment. Having gone through such a critical procedure--and the heartbreak of it initially going wrong--I am forever grateful to have met Dr. James. He was truly my guardian angel during a time when I feared I might never walk properly again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you to the entire Orthopedic Specialists staff, and especially to Dr. James, for restoring my hope, my mobility, and my courage to reclaim my health. You have made a lasting difference in my life.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] God Bless!!! read more

Extremely professional and efficient medical facility. My wife was suffering extreme pain in her neck. The doctor initially prescribed some medications that eliminated the pain. However the meds had bad side effects for long term use. So, the doctor injected a different medication directly into her neck. She has had no pain since then. Hopefully that lasts a long time. We highly recommend this establishment. read more

I went back yesterday to see Dr Taylor Beatty to review my recent MRI's which were done on my Spine. I have been to this Dr before for back injections that worked for a long time to relieve my severe pain. I had a recent fall a few months back which caused me new pain. It was time to come back to see this fine Doctor again for some sort of treatment. He doesn't jump into any surgery decision without trying other things to help a Patient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He is not a pushy sort of Doctor. He's very easy to talk to & answers all your concerns & questions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He never rushes you out of the office.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Office will be calling to schedule me for deeper back injections soon & hopefully these will work as great as the first set he did on me 3 yrs ago.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend him as he is very professional & caring. [[HIGHLIGHT]]His Office Staff is very nice also.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wait time is excellent in this Office. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kudos to the front & back office staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My name is Rhonda Lease- I was recommended to Dr. Taylor Beatty by Dr. Alan Graves - I was very nervous as I didn't know Dr. Beatty and although I trusted Dr. Graves and his recommendation I was still so nervous. Then I Dr. Beatty! He was so kind and went over throughly all my tests and results. Surgery was my only option if I wanted any type of quality of life back. I cried through that whole visit and Dr. Beatty went slow and made me feel I would be in good hands with him- he gave me the confidence I was looking for and so badly needed. We scheduled my surgery for several weeks in advance at Mease Hospital- Although I'm a Christian and knew I was really in Gods hands I was still anxious... Dr. Beatty came in to see me and i put my hands over his and said a blessing- he was completely receptive and I knew God would be guiding this man as he operated on me. Again, he Dr. Beatty gave me a complete peace- I woke up from surgery as they were wheeling me to my room- I spent 24 hours in the hospital and came home. I was just astounded at the care Dr. Beatty provided me with! I was truly impressed and very grateful for the treatment, kindness and compassion that Dr. Beatty provided me with! I would HIGHLY and I do mean HIGHLY recommend Dr. Taylor Beatty to my family friends and anyone looking for a professional, skilled, knowledgeable and experienced surgeon- I'm forever grateful to Dr. Beatty for sharing his talent with me as his patient and for giving me back my quality of life! God Bless you Dr. Beatty you will forever be in my prayers for all you've done for me!! Sincerely, Rhonda Lease read more

Dr Brian Maiocco has been my Ortho since 2013. I had a meniscus sprain then and, recently, an acute tendinitis in my left hand. Both addressed properly! I asked for a recommendation on a foot specialist for my Training Partner (and Newbie Yelper) She got Dr Brandon Taylor to address a bone spur on her foot. He operated and, after six weeks, she is in physical therapy and we walked her first mile! I highly recommend this Team to all my Triathlete and Runner Teams and Friends! read more

Loved the caring I felt with Dr Maioco and Quinn. The front desk and check out staff was very nice.

A great & efficient office of ortjodepic surf and. From start to finish very professional, kind & efficient service! For the first time some one did an Cray of my knee in New positions & I found out at some point a piece of my patella had broken off & is floating. Currently no need for surgery, but great find! After all these years, I finally recieved an answer for my knee problem. The doc was precise & skilled with the cortisone shot & I had some relief as soon as the was removed, it was almost painless! Dr. Evans, I will return! What's a girl to do? It is so hard to find docs you love, when you do, share with everyone. read more

I was referred here b Florida Hospital North Pinellas, due to popping a ligament in my foot. Nothing -broken- on the xray so they opted to send me to an Orthopedic doctor. Dutifully I made my appointment and showed up. I arrived, filled out my 7 pages of medical history, gave my license and insurance card and then waited about 5 minutes before I was escorted back by a very surly Pa or Ma (not sure which) who did nothing more than grunt hello at me, before walking me back to a room to take more history. He asked me what I did, I told him " I was walking back to my car at the beach, in the parking lot, and I felt, and internally heard something in the ball of my foot pop" a minute or so later he asked. "So you were in your drive way, and you felt the top of your foot crack?" Seriously were you even paying attention? I had little hope for the doctor. Dr. Williams came in, wearing a NASCAR shirt and his hair in a short ponytail, ok, I see they cater to some sports enthusiasts here, I can give him this. He looked at my X-rays, then asked me about the issue. I explained again. He asked if this has ever happened before, "Yes, on the other foot, I dance, and have PF." He nodded. He told me his Diagnosis. That what I'm already doing is what he would do, that it wouldn't be beneficial to come back. Ok. 1. Their staff that I met other than the doctor wasn't welcoming. 2. they don't want to run your insurance up. 3. No unnecessary wait time for me. So it was an alright visit. read more

Orthopedic Specialists - Inside my little cubby - Sports Medicine Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

Orthopedic Specialists has seven Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeons that have over 100 years of combined orthopedic experience. The Orthopedic Specialists physician Scott Brotherton, M.D. was my doctor. They are trained and skilled in modern techniques of non-operative orthopedics as well as orthopedic surgery, including arthroscopic surgery and total joint replacements, Their approach to patient care continues to emphasize conservative, non-surgical methods whenever possible and they will only recommend surgery when it is absolutely necessary, which is great because there are a lot of cut happy doctors out there. I have a torn bicep muscle in the upper left shoulder, after x-rays, I receive a steroid shot as he used the ultra sounds machine to make sure he was hitting the correct area, I'll be doing physical therapy and return in 6 weeks. I felt the personalized care I was looking for in Dr. Brotherton. The office staff was very professional, friendly, and courteous. I would recommend Dr. Scott Brotherton read more

RoyB: I don't know any better place for orthopedic doctors! A rare joint disease was cured by two of their doctors, Dr. Graves - knee specialist - for one, (super doc) and Brian (wrist specialist - also super great! If anything can describe their specialties it would be GREAT!!! Their entire staff is welcoming and helpful, can't say enough kind words - X-ray, admissions, checkout staff are all great too!! read more

Sarah expertly and painlessly removed my stitches from my wrist. I'm all for her continuing education as she is going places!

I cannot say enough good things about Orthopedic Specialists. Dr. Chris James did a right total knee replacement less than four weeks ago. I have almost no pain, am walking independently with a walker or cane, and going to PT in their practice. Dr. James is kind and thorough. He sits and explains everything in detail with no sugar coating. I have seen Dr. Scott Brotherton in the same practice for several years as well. He did my meniscus repair and a trigger finger release. when I was ready for the knee replacement, he referred me to Dr. James. I highly recommend both surgeons. read more

Dr. Maiocco is an amazing doctor. I have to say .. the pain I was in prior to my procedure was down right brutal. He did my hip scope and like a magician I came out feeling immediately like a new person. I could tell when I woke from my procedure it was just time for healing, no more unnecessary pain. On top of his magical surgical expertise, his demeanor is calming, kind and confident as well. I just knew the moment I met him I would feel better soon and my hunch was right. In addition to the amazing Dr Maiocco who I owe my sanity to at this point, the surgery center Suncoast Specialty Surgery Center staff made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. When my surgery was finished they gave me an awesome flower/plant in a beautiful pot. Cant forget the staff in the office as well as they are kind and always helpful. One more ..the rehabilitation employees are warm and supportive. . . I feel I've received a welk rounded care experience here and I would never go to another Ortho office again after this. Thank you so much!! Happy hip patient here .. G. Main read more

Dr. Sullivan is amazing. Kind knowledgable and not eager to send patients to surgery unless necessary. His staff is patient and helpful. I would highly recommend. read more

I saw Dr Brotherton for my shoulder that has been bothering me for some time. His medical assistant and the team in the X-ray area were all super friendly. The place is clean and very prompt with appointment time. Highly recommend! read more

I had an appointment today for 10:00. I brought my referral and gave it to the front desk. They gave me the paperwork, I brought it back and then someone came out and said "sorry, but this referral won't work. We need an electronic referral and the doctor you were scheduled to see won't be able to help you. You need an appointment with Dr. Maser so get the referral fixed and call back. He has 3 openings this week so it won't be a problem to get you in". I went to my primary care who told me that they told the orthopedic place to reschedule my appt because they couldn't get the electronic referral in time, but they never did. They said they'll get the referral to them by the end of the day. I called not even 45 minutes after I left Palm Harbor Orthopedics and they said Dr. Maser doesn't have an appointment available until the 17th. They're liars. They said my insurance company doesn't accept paper referrals. They do. My girlfriend and I both have had the same primary care write referrals the same way for the same insurance plan and have never had a problem (cardiologists, oncologists, etc.). Save time and headaches - and if you're in pain, get treated faster. Go somewhere else. Like the person that reviewed before me, I also HATE giving 1 star reviews, but this was a ridiculous situation and I was completely lied to. read more

Everyone is really nice, and they are very quick, spent less then 5 minutes in the waiting room both times

Dr. Taylor is awesome, he is caring and gives you time. I would refer anyone to him. He didn't just jump to surgery to make a quick buck. He was honest and sincere!! The staff is great and friendly. read more

These doctors are thirsty for money. They will make you pay upfront instead of billing your HRA and you are left to figure out reimbursement on your own. But then to make matters worse they will habitually fail to schedule appointments like they don't even need the business. Great place to go if you don't really need their help. read more

I cannot say enough great things about the office staff and the doctors!My daughter hurt her thumb and I took her to Urgent Care for x-rays to see if it was broken. They told her it was not broken and it would be better in 5-7 days. After a week, it still looked the same. A friend recommended I take her to Orthopedic Specialists to have them look at it. They do not accept our insurance, but I took her there anyway because the closest specialist who was in network was over an hour away. Dr. Brotherton looked at it and then had it x-rayed. He showed us on the x-ray exactly where it was broken and why there was a possiblity she would need surgery. He referred us to their surgeon, Dr. Williams. Dr. Brotherton was able to get us in to see Dr. Williams the very next morning. Dr. Williams looked at the x-ray and said there was a great possilblity she would need surgery and said she would need a CAT scan to know for sure. I told him the nearest in network Dr. was in Celebration and I already had an appointment the following week with a surgeon there, just in case he recommends surgery. This is where I became extremely impressed with this office. Amber who handles insurance approvals in the office went out of her way to find a place to do the CAT scan. The MRI office I called to do the CAT scan could not get her in for a week. Dr. Williams said she could not wait that long, so he called the MRI place himself to try and get her in sooner. Unfortunately,they did not return his call. Amber then got on the phone to find other places who took her insurance. She called a total of five MRI places and finally found one who took her insurance AND was willing to take her that same day since it was urgent. They went through all this trouble, knowing if she needed surgery, I would be going to another facility to have it done. They could have easily have told me to just take her to the in-network office and sent us on our way. I have NEVER had a Dr.'s office go out of their way to help us the way they did. Thankfully the CAT scan showed she does not need surgery. Even though this office is out of my insurance network, I have decided to let them handle the rest of her care until her thumb is completely healed and pay out of pocket. Dr. Brotherton and Dr. Williams were very nice. They both explained the x-rays to us and why she would possibly need surgery. Both of the doctors' assistants were very nice and the front office staff as well. I will forever be greatful for Dr. William, Amber and Dr. Brotherton for not making us feel like a number and doing everything they could to be sure my daughter got the care she needed. read more

My 5 years old son got in ER after falling from the step-stool. After X-rays we found out his arm is broken. In ER I was advised to take him to orthopedic. Next morning I called Orthopedic specialists asking for the same day appointment. They were all booked for the next 3 days. I asked if there is any possibility to see my 5 years old son. Receptionist promised to call me back within couple hours to see if she can do anything. Then she called me and said that doctor can see my son in 40 minutes. God bless them! We took our son to the clinic. We were assisted by doctor Brandon Taylor. He was so friendly, nice and professional! He explained all little details about our situation, what can be done and what to expect. And he scheduled surgery in next 2 days! He did awesome job! 3 hours after surgery my son was playing and running all over the house! Like nothing happened!) it is 9 days after surgery and so far everything is great! I have no words to say how much I appreciate doctor Taylor's job!!! read more

If you are in any sort of pain do not go there! You will have to wait weeks for an appointment. They beat around the bush and give you the run around on scheduling. While talking to the office staff they were completely rude and unhelpful. I personally work in the medical field and would never treat patients in pain this way. Take yourself somewhere else!!! read more
