Dr. James Piorkowski, MD 1040 Gulf Breeze Parkway The Andrews Institute, Gulf Breeze, FL 32561

"I'm an out of network patient who chose Piorkowski because of his reputation, reviews and 1 dr referral, but these were all VERY misleading. He is extremely expensive and when asked if they could work with me on the price I was told they would take payments but would have to postpone surgery until it was paid in full. After I paid in full, signed all consent papers and was administered iv and meds by the staff, Dr Piorkowski came to talk to me (about 10 minutes before rolling me into the OR) and informed me he had decided to only do half of the surgery we agreed upon and I paid for. I went into the OR in a panic knowing I would not leave "fixed." Dr P told my husband afterwards that I would need another surgery in the future but my charts mention nothing of it. While I do have small improvements, I'm still left with lingering pain that could have been fixed and with the knowledge that I now have to save money specifically for another future surgery."

"Good customer service, got me in fast and helped me......sometimes I get the impression that when I ask questions, I get different answers at different appointments so it gets a little confusing at times. I use my hands for my work and it's a big part of my life. I'm not sure staff understands how important that is. The decision of what to do and when is very critical. Again, really nice people and great customer service......thx."

"Dr. Piorkowski is very thorough. He makes sure you understand he is available anytime giving patients his cell phone number. The office staff is very efficient. I have never waited beyond my appointment time to be called back and never waited more than 10 minutes in the exam room before being seen by the doctor or PA."

"Outstanding orthopedic surgeon who has been amazing in his care for me. He went above and beyond to see that my x-rays and CT scan were stat orders even when he was away from the office. He has been extremely professional, compassionate, and efficient in scheduling my appointments and surgery date. Dr. Piorkowski displays all the highest standards of Andrews Institute."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Piorkowski for a while now and I have nothing but good things to say. He’s a wonderful physician. Dr. P did surgery on my wrist and continues to work with me for ongoing care. He is patient, professional, caring, and extremely knowledgeable all while explaining things in ways that help me understand what my body is doing. His staff is always great as well! I’d recommend him in a heartbeat."
