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.

Dr. Yorio and the office staff was prompt, friendly, professional and competent. They took time to…read morelisten thoroughly and give helpful advice. Often we're concerned that surgeons will have a bias to perform surgery. For Dr. Yorio, surgery was not a first consideration and he did not recommend it even though another doctor had.

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.

While Dr. Pavel is the best, SOS billing practices are the worst. I went to an office appt…read more yesterday after 6 months. They said I had a $125 credit. They don't tell you because they expect you to "know you have a credit" and ask for a refund. But they don't give you a refund until the last claim is processed. And God forbid that you have a future procedure or appt. You'll probably never get your money back. Unethical, mafia like practices.

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.

I was bounced around doctor to doctor for my basketball injury kinda of given the hint that no one wanted felt comfortable with doing my knee because of the severity but Kaplan did it no problem.

Well worth my hour drive time to his office!

I'm not sure why I pay a $75 copay so my physical therapist can be busy with two other patients. If…read moreI spend two visits worth of copay I can buy the same equipment at home and do the exercises by myself. 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.

While Dr. Pavel is the best pain management Dr and did a great job alleviating pain from my…read morecervical (neck) area, I think Southeast has unethical business practices. The billing department will hoard any positive balance (credit) you have without you even knowing that you have a credit. Mine was over $100 which they had kept for 6 months without me knowing it even existed. I still wouldn't know about if I hadn't scheduled a new appointment and asked why they only charged me $20 for the appt. (They shouldn't have charged me anything as I had a hefty credit. Anyway the receptionist stated that I had a credit of over $100 for 6 months. She said I had to ask for any refund. So if you are a patient there, you must have ESP to figure out if you have a credit so you can ask for a refund.

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.

I've been to what felt like every orthopedic office in Jacksonville, walking out each time with…read moreanswers but no comfort. Here, it was different. The service was exceptional--friendly faces, professional hands, and something harder to measure: genuine care. They listened, really listened, and in doing so reminded me that healing starts with being heard. For the first time in a long while, I didn't just feel treated with surgery --I felt cared for.

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.
