    Come here for foot checks. The office is neat and clean…read more Staff is so nice, from reception to X-ray to checkout, never an issue! I see Dr. Bolos. She is awesome. So kind, takes her time, explains everything very well. Never feel talked down to. Would highly recommend her. Oh and in case you are hungry after your visit, More o's Bakery is right across the street.

    Had my rotator cuff done and ruptured bicep repaired Dr Ekles great surgeon great bedside…read moremanner.....I had some swelling in my right k foot did An x-ray second Fox broken Qq set 50 I was hoping my insurance covered my insurance certainly did cover it and they had to reimburse me $50. I was told Try boot my friend had ask the doctor. What about a Cortizone shot he said I can try it. It worked wonders until I fell amazing till I fell at the images for an x-ray no MRI no CAT scan. I asked if insurance covered was told no my insurance Company said it said my girlfriend suggested maybe a He said I can try it end up working amazing which was done by Dr. Loewy three days before I fell my foot was absolutely fine then I fell into a pothole went back to Dr Loewy you have some tears just that you need surgery. Nothing was mentioned of any bone fusions that I can remember. I went had surgery. It's 2024 we're now 2026. My surgery was a non-Union, which means that the screws put in to fuse the bones failed. There's no fusion the screws. Both 4 inches are in there doing God only knows what problem is not many doctors that I've seen don't wanna touch it so I turn 61 a few months and this is what I'm stuck with i'm not here to say anything badly about anyone. I'm here. Just to tell people if you told you need surgery, I don't care how good the doctors ratings reviews are. I wish I had gotten several more opinions now I have to go back in. Have it fixed if I can find a job to do it, I'm praying to God there's hope I've been told bone grafts maybe necessary so much work from looking at RECENT MRI And CT scan Several Drs told me your foot of course will Never be the same all I want is to walk without pain that literally takes your breath away and pain doesn't get so bad I passed out Thankfully I wasn't alone I have not heard from the Dr only when.I called to inform his department that it was non union I was asked do you want to come in see Dr Loewy my Response absolutely Not my life's still on hold I'm not even old to get into a relationship I'm just to Embarrassed the Pain being the first second the way it looks only thing I'm happy with is the scars but I used cream daily and I was Released from Florida orthopedic Institute PHYSICAL THERAPY on Boyette as I was told we cannot continue to work with you. Things are not getting better for getting worse please see a second opinion we have to protect our license they must be affiliated. They have the same name and they stopped my PHYSICAL THERAPY a long time ago but there a certain period you have to wait for insurance purposes. It's 13 months but when I saw one doctor and he told me if it's not start to show fusing months ago, it's not gonna fuse in five days. I asked you do this type of procedure. His response was I would not feel comfortable doing this procedure on you I got that from two separate doctors hopefully the next surgeon I see they will have a different opinion just please please get several opinions. Write down everything that said in that office between you and the doctor because this surgery did a lot more than the picture show and I'm left to fight this battle hopefully quickly and such a long recovery emotionally depressed me because I went through it the entire holiday season severe depression. I didn't want to see anybody I usually spend Christmas Eve with my granddaughter, to watch her open her gifts the next day, I missed out on that because I didn't want to ruin their day them seeing me in so much pain in the cast so every holiday Thanksgiving Christmas New Year's I was alone no one should never have to go through this. I pray surgeons and says I can fix it. That would be the best gift I could receive.

    I'm setting at home in major pain, this is not the FOI that i was first in counter in 1998, FOI…read moreoffice on Fletcher Ave, the care i got there was outstanding, went to the Brandon office out of convenience, i visited on 6/20/24 got xray no meds, was to follow up with therapy, how ever my pain level elevated over the weekend, back in the office on Monday morning 6/24/24, got injection in lower back and methpredisone packet and muscle relaxer, MRI schedule for 6/27/24, unable to complete due to me not able to lie flat, on 6/24 Dr. try to examine me on table and i was unable to lie flat at that time, so why do you schedule a patient for a MRI that require one to lie flat. I call there Brandon office today 7/1/24 and all i got was the number for the Dr. Administrative assistant with no voice mail. I am a nurse and FOI does not deserve a one STAR, but that the only way it would post this review

    Both my husband and I have come here out of convenience to see an orthopedoc doctor for sports…read moreinjuries relating to running - the office is closest to our house and only one of a few Ortho docs in the area. ** We've had bad experiences every time we've come here ** 1) Each time we've both waited almost an hour and a half or more just to be seen - I understand waiting at the doctor's office, but going on lunch break or before or after work it's not feasible to get in at the time appointments are made 2) While waiting, we just hear the staff is right outside of our door chatting about. There's no one checking in on you, they bring you into a room, tell you to wait and you're in there..for a while. While you hear them outside just talking about their weekends and other nonsense. 3) The Doctors we've seen aren't geniune or friendly. They're very straight forward and want to see you repeatedly to eat up your insurance. Even when there's no need, they recommend PT at their partner office instead of working through self care. 4) The front staff is clueless about insurance benefits and I've seen them use a 'cheat sheet' for reference - they go back and forth asking others questions instead of knowing how to process payment 5) Surgery is always encouraged here. I've been for a cyst on my food where surgery was my 'only option' for relief, when I ended up having it go away on its own eventually and with self care. My husband had 1 surgery, no proper care or follow up afterwards, and ended up needing a second surgery to get him to running again. It took almost 2 years total. I am definitely going to another to orthopedic doc going forward. I'm currently marathon training and will need care ongoing - but want to find a trustworthy doctor. I'd would rather drive farther to see a better doctor.
