Dr Frykberg has performed seven surgeries on my family members, so I've had plenty of experience…read morewith his expertise. He is not only the most skilled surgeon I've ever met, but he is also an amazingly nice guy! Most surgeons believe in keeping a certain emotional distance from their patients, but Dr Frykberg doesn't. Instead, he treats his patients like his own family and it is very obvious that he truly cares about those people that put their lives in his very skilled hands. Bottom line, Dr Brett Frykberg is the best surgeon I've ever known.

There was a shining star among some pretty bad parts of my total hip replacement. Dr. Brett Fykberg…read morewas that star. First he really impressed us in our original meeting. Super nice, friendly, and smart about his field and what he thought was best for me. We talked about me and what I do, did, and want to with this body that I have beaten slap to death. Then we talked about him where he came from (local kid) and where he studied and did his residency. He was born and raised here and did his residency in the big apple at the best joint replacement hospital in the country. He chose the this particular hip contraption cause of what I want an need to be able to do with my life and work. I will say that everyone in this office was very sweet and helpful. They know I was in pain went out of their way to make me and the wife comfortable. Never being operated on before I was nervous and scared. Doc I guess felt that and comforted me. I will say that the surgery and before and after included and very good doctors visit. He told me how my old hip was and it wasn't pretty but the new one was all bright and shiny. He even wrote Go Gators on the probe in my leg bone. JK but I feel he would have if I asked. I just returned from our post op visit and I got my first look at my new hardware. I do know it has only been 13 days since I took possession of this hip it is working better and better everyday. I know it is cause of Dr Frykberg's talent. I will also say that he learned today that his one guilt pleasure is Maple Street Biscuit Companies food so you know what I did? Yep the office had breakfast on me this morning and will every time I return. He was genuinely happy when I returned with biscuits for him and his side of the office. I would very highly recommend JOI and Dr. Frykberg for anyone needing hip or knee replacement after all he is that good.

I was very impressed with your office cleanliness, professionalism, organization, and friendliness…read more However, I was very disappointed when I arrived for my 11:00 a.m. appointment, Thursday, March 31, 2016, when I was told that my appointment was set for April 6th. No one informed me that the appointment that was originally set up for me had changed. In fact, I was told that the Thursday appointment did not show on your records. When a patient has pain most of the time, it isn't easy to prepare for any kind of appointment. Now I must repeat my trip to your office again on Monday, April 4th in order to see the doctor. There seems to a disconnect between the procedure for setting up a new patient's appointments and the personnel and computer records in the office. I respectively ask that someone review the situation and make appropriate adjustments where needed. Otherwise, it has been a pleasant experience to visit your office and I do look forward to my physical issues being resolved by the very capable staff and doctors in your practice.

Hadn't been here in awhile so I had forgotten that they had renovated the place. It's still on the…read morethird floor and they have a bigger receptionist area to accomodate the traffic that comes in. Waiting to be called back is about the same as before but once your back in one of the rooms things tend to go quicker. I came back to see Chris Le, Dr. Pavel's PA for my low back pain. I tried to hold out for as long as I could but I needed to be reassessed for lumbar ablation. Also I like Chris because he's personable. He put me down for an updated MRI, the ablation, and some meds in the meantime. Checking out was simple as well. You end up on the backside of the receptionist area and they are the ones who will schedule your future appointments and I was able to fill out paperwork for the MRI place ahead of time to save time later. Here's hoping that they can help my pain levels decrease.

My experience with Dr. Camden B. Burns has been extremely disappointing…read more During my first visit, I waited for over an hour without any explanation, only to find out that he was not even in the office. No one called ahead of time to inform me, and no one updated me while I was sitting there waiting. It was a complete lack of respect for my time. On my second visit, things only got worse. Dr. Burns came across as arrogant, belligerent, and very disrespectful. Instead of feeling heard or cared for as a patient, I felt dismissed and spoken down to. His attitude was unprofessional and unacceptable. Patients deserve basic communication, respect, and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

Needless to say he could give no reason for his change of plans or where the pain was coming from. Went to another doctor and they did X-rays to find out he has a bad disc not a hip issue. Hip looked fine. Now how do you make a mistake like that?

My wife went to Palm Coast office on 4/25/25 due a Bakers Cyst had formed on the back of her knee…read moreon her left leg. Dr Grimsley performed a "cursive exam". Took an ex-ray but never looked at or explain the results. When he was asked if it should be wrapped he replied "if you want". Because of the pain when she walks, she asked if it was OK to walk and he replied "what ever you can tolerate". if it gets any bigger then come in and he will drain the cyst. No offer for anything to ease the pain. Dr Grimsley showed complete disinterest in my wife's complaint, showed no interest in helping. He was rude and aloof with his diagnosis. I asked if his findings would be posted on the patients portal and was told by the staff that it would be. As of today there is nothing. Have set up an appointment with another orthopedic doctor and will never travel to Palm Coast for help from this UF Health Orthopedic Clinic.

Well worth my hour drive time to his office!

It used to be okay, but now each PT is servicing two to three people at once and they just tell you to do the different exercises. I need one on one care and I need actual work on my body. Why am I paying to sit around waiting on my PT to go work on others? I could do it at home for free.

Very disappointed in my experience here. Paid out of pocket for basically zero care. They blamed my…read morepain on my age (56) when I had zero pain before my injury of torn meniscus and mcl strain. Given no brace and no meds that actually did anything and told to come back in 6 weeks and to cancel the appointment if my knee was all better. All better with my meniscus hanging down in my medial gutter? I wake up every hour of the night in pain, and they will do nothing for me. I asked for prednisone (a steroid, not a narcotic) as it helped initially when it was given to me at Urgent Care, but they refused because they said that it is their policy not to treat pain. What? Um, what? Giving 2 stars because the staff outside of the PA were very kind and professional.

I've been seeing Dr Norman since he first started practicing in Jax. Long time. He IS-- IS -- the…read moreabsolute best orthopedic specialist in this area. Extremely skilled. Extremely knowledgeable and well trained. A "stickler" on operating room hygiene (Ask the nurses who he warns to "stand back. Too close. Too close.". ) He is straight up about what to do after surgery and he tells you he does not care what other drs do or allow, or how early other drs allow you to wear shoes, run, etc. He is VERY cautious and he knows how to get the best results! And his results are the tops. He disagreed with 2 other specialists/surgeons on a diagnosis for me. Strongly disagreed! I allowed Dr Norman to do his thing his way and he was right! Love this man. Soo intelligent, gifted. Sadly, he is retiring Aug 14, 2017. Oh, going to miss his care. He always "had your back" when you saw him! Not sure who I will see now. THANK YOU DR NORMAN. Happy retirement. Well deserved. Well earned. BEST IN JAX. Stellar medical care. R Thomas.

Knee Replacement…read more Outstanding professional, highly dedicated, organized, competent, quality doctors, nurses, physical therapists, the specialist who prepared my leg, and all of the front desk technicians are superb. The quality care and reassuring communication helped me tremendously. I'd like to specifically thank Dr. Phillip Bell who performed the surgery, the nurses, anesthesiologist, and everyone else at JOI Baptist South for taking such good care of me before, during, and after surgery. My knee range of motion has improved dramatically the previous 5 days and is currently at 115 degrees. No more walker or cane and I just walked a mile today. It's been 5 weeks since the knee replacement. I have a new lease on life! Thank you very much. Sincerely, Richard

I am about 1 year out post an extensive lumbar fusion with pelvic fixation, which was really a last resort for me, but I'm doing great now! I appreciate that Dr. Perry offered multiple alternatives and conservative care options first. When those options failed to adequately help and the surgery was indicated, Dr. Perry proved to be not only knowledgeable and exceptionally skilled, but he also provided helpful education before, during and after the ordeal. He was patient with all of my many questions and concerns and helped me navigate through the whole experience, which otherwise would have been a very terrifying experience for me. I am very appreciative of the care I received from Dr. Perry, his whole team at JOI. If I ever had another spine problem I would ABSOLUTELY choose Dr. Perry again.
