Florida Hand Center, Dr. Stephen L. Helgemo, Jr, Fort Myers, FL


Rating: 1 out of 5.

I was sent to Dr Helgemo for a workers comp. injury. He has no people skills. After doing surgery he snapped "That's impossible" when I tried to tell him the finger wouldn't bend. He ignored 2 Physical Therapist recommendations that I needed a silver ring splint. He refused my begging for a silver ring splint, stating it was an unnecessary expense for the insurance. After a year of suffering with the finger not bending, and after writing my attorney complaining about Dr. Helgemo I was ordered to return to him. He had obviously heard of my complaints. He actually listened and examined hand. He 'suddenly' found that a slight pressure at the base of the finger would allow me to consistently bend it. He recommended I buy myself a regular ring and wear it. After a year of suffering I now have partial use of the finger. I strongly recommend against ever using this doctor. [

Stephen D. Stokes, 13730 Cypress Terrace Cir. unit 401, Fort Myers, FL


Rating: 1 out of 5.

The Vax-D procedure sold by Dr. Stephen Stokes of Advanced Pain Solutions is a total waste of good out of pocket money. I went for 44 treatments on the Vax-D machine for lower back pain and finally quit after spending $4,500.00 of my own money. The procedure was a total failure and my condition has worsened since taking the treatments. You know what they say about something looking too good to be true? I'm a 73 yr old retired bank executive who is very credible. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE VAX-D TREATMENTS BUYER BEWARE!! Heavy financial risks---zero results. There is a good reason why the VAX-D procedure is not approved by Medicare or Private Insurance! Rod T.

John J. McGuigan, 844 Kempsville Rd., Ste 104, Norfolk, VA, 23502


Rating: 1 out of 5.

I found a new provider. I’ll no longer be seen by Dr. McGuigan /Sentara Hand Surgery Center. Dr. McGuigan spoke to me like I was ignorant. Constant replies of “I do not understand what you are asking.” when there was no way to not understand. He was very rude. I even drew pictures to get him to answer my questions. He still replied with “I do not understand what you are asking.”. I have memory issues. So he kept repeating the medical terminology when I asked if a miracle occurred and my nail began to grow from the “nail matrix”, would it be able to attach to the nail bed and be able to grow out. He kept repeating “germinal nail matrix”. I said ok, will it grown and be able to attach to the nail bed? He said “I don’t understand your question.” What???? I drew a picture from a side view. He still couldn’t understand my question. There is no way he couldn’t. He finally said, “your nail will never grow. There is no germinal nail matrix left.” My nail is now over an 1/8” longer than it was at the time of the accident. It’s been 7 weeks. I wouldn’t go to him because he’s rude. I would give him credit for his knowledge, if he would share it and not be like Fort Knox with it, but share it. Be kind to your patients. They appreciate that. Also don’t keep implying that they are ignorant by constantly correcting their medical terminology. We’ve not been to med school. If we point and say, right here where the nail grows out of at its very point of growth, don’t keep repeating “germinal nail matrix”. That’s rude. Answer their questions instead. Be kind. Don’t imply that they intentionally caused the accident by calling it self inflicted. If you hear someone committed suicide, they call that self inflicted implying an intentional act. Accidents happen. I tend to think he was treating me this way, because he thought the accident was caused by stupidity. FYI, accidents do happen. Please treat your patients kind. The accident was traumatic enough without you adding insult to injury.

Alexander Nash, 3822 Broadway Ave., Fort Myers, FL, 33901


Rating: 5 out of 5.

Dr. Nash is one of the few doctors that I have been to that really cares for his patients. He gives you his entire attention and all the time you need; however, you do not spend hardly any time waiting to be seen. I would recommend Dr. Nash to anyone needing pain management.

Todd Atkinson, 8710 College Parkway, Fort Myers, FL


Rating: 5 out of 5.

I have used Dr. Atkinson since 2004 he has worked on my shoulders, knees and now has replaced my hip. I have sent several friends to him and they think he is the best. He shows true apathy, care and concern for his patients. I have the utmost confidence in him and never feel that a 2nd opinion is necessary, even the in-home therapist all agree on his professionalism and bedside manner. You won't see a commercial, or advertisement, but if someone recommends him to you, you should go!

Dr. Edward Humbert, 7331 College Pkwy, Suite #300, Fort Myers, FL


Rating: 5 out of 5.

Dr. Humbert performed my hip surgery 3 weeks ago yesterday! Pre-op & intra-op and post-op courses all went very well. I was treated with kindness and promptness throughout the process. The best thing though is that I had no complications. That speaks to Doctor Humbert's team having outstanding skill technically, intellectually, academically and emotionally when one needs a hip replaced to have a much improved quality of life! Thank You All!

Thanh T. Le, St. Petersburg, FL


Rating: 2 out of 5.

This doctor speciality is pain management. My primary care doctor no longer writes scripts for pain medicine, due to gov. Regulations. I was referred to Dr. Thanh at the Pain Relief Center, here in St. Petersburg Florida. Dr. Le, suggested a treatment for my chronic back pain. I postpone treatment until the first of the year, due to my work. Dr. Le assured me there would be "no problem" re filling my pain medication. The first time I needed a refill, within ten days after the pharmacy notified his office, the medication had not been refilled. The pharmacy called twice. I called the office four times in ten days, trying to find out why the script had not been filled. All I got were recorded messages and i requested to have my call return. The calls were never returned. I have had 8 days without pain medication. I have had to use over the counter meds. I will be contacting Medicare and my insurance company. Looking for a new doctor.

Dr. Alejandro G. Tapia, 10301 hagen ranch road, boynton beach, FL


Rating: 1 out of 5.

Blatant Disregard Nov 6, 2018 I have never in all my 37 1/2 years of constant pain have I ever been treated so poorly with such cold blatant disregard. He said he would help he had no intention of helping. Far more interested in getting me there for 3 appointments and collect his fees he prescribed the incorrect amount of medication that I have been taking this is a reduced dose that is matter of record and can be verified. Dr Tapia is self center I think the term is self verified. He was far more interested in implanting a pain device, at a high fee I would guess. Upon learning that I have hypersensitive nerve endings I could not use his device he did not prescribe the remaining amount in a partial script as promised. He made me wait 5 days dodging my calls leaving me on hold for 39 minutes disconnected the call, I called back a 15 minute return call was I promised they would return my call after talking to the doctor they never returned the call. I asked if he was not going to prescribe as promised please tell me now, 2 calls later the office finally admitted he was not going to prescribe as promised on Oct 24, now on Nov 6th after 5 days of calling and waiting they could have told me sooner I could have seen another doctor in that time and not run out of medication. I did get appointment in 3 days with a new doctor but I'm out of medication upset in more pain from this experience. 9 back surgeries both hips replaced, my knee was damaged with hip replacement, shoulder pain and more. This man could care less how much pain I am in, He never examined me didn't even look. The office twisted my words as if this was my fault that I didn't understand I'm not foolish.
