I have been a patient of Dr. Brian Wallace's for several years following a torn ACL repair. I…read morerecently made an appointment due to shoulder pain and decreased strength in the gym. Dr. Wallace ordered an MRI which is conveniently located in the Joint Replacement Institute practice. His staff worked with my insurance when they first denied coverage even though it was the last few days of the year and my family had more than met the deductible. The MRI was covered and revealed a 50% torn rotator cuff and Dr. Wallace suggested PRP (Plasma Rich Platelets). Blood is drawn from the patient and spun to produce PRP which contains a mixture of platelets, including cytokines and growth factors, and has anti-inflammatory properties which injected into an injury site can stimulate the healing process. I have truly been more than pleased with the results. I no longer have shoulder pain including when I lay on my side and I am working my way back up to push-ups and heavier weights in the gym. As a surgeon, Dr. Wallace looks for non-surgical remedies when they are an option. Dr. Wallace also has incredible bedside manner that make me know I have been heard and takes his time to ensure that the patient understands all pain relieving options. Dr. Wallace has empathy, knowledge and surgical skills. We are fortunate to have Joint Replacement Institute with skilled surgeons right here in Naples, Florida.

I had to do X-rays then MRI to look into my knee further. I had the results posted to my NCH online file. I could not really understand what they were saying . Mrs. K. and I go to Dr. Jon and he flatly states I have a torn meniscus and arthritis in my knee. He said the arthritis was bad enough to warrant a knee replacement. Then we had a huge turn in treatment. He was going to give me a cortisone shot and inject gel into my knee and I should be good to go for 5 years. This is where Mrs. K. and the Dr had a "discussion". She wanted me to have a replacement now vs 5 years from now as I would recover faster now than later. At multiple times he used the term robotic knee replacement procedure. Which means a robot does the surgery and he monitors it. Much to Mrs. K's disagreement with the procedure I decided I would trust Dr. Jon. So far I have had both shots and rehabilitation. I am not pain free but I am way better than what I started with.

I intentionally scheduled an appointment for the morning time, 10am to avoid waiting time. I sat out in the lobby for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I was then called back and sat in the examining room for an additional 45 minutes before I saw the doctor. Two hours after my scheduled time!!! The office was open at 8am, My appointment was at 10am. How do you get backed up 2 hours behind schedule when you've only been open for 2 hours???? Bad scheduling! At 11:15am I met a friend in the lobby that had an 11am appointment. She was livid when she found out mine was at 10am and I still hadn't been called. Other in the lobby expressed the same disgust. This is a total disregard for patients. Our time is valuable too.
