Todd Prochnow's Online Review Report Card

I was very satisfied with the quality and caring attitude of Dr. Prochnow. He took the time to listen to my concerns and offered suggestions and treatment to alleviate my discomfort..

Dr. Prochnow was attentive to my knee pain. Staff was friendly. Definitely would visit again and recommend.

My left hand was going numb for a couple years, found Dr Todd Prochnow through my nieces recommendation since she was already seeing him for her shoulder and kept talking about how much she really liked her doctor so I thought I would give him a try. I scheduled an appointment with him and I must say that was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. He told me what the problem was and gave me a few options to try and I told him I just wanted it fixed so let’s do the surgery and get it over with. Long story short, he scheduled the surgery and I arrived at the hospital at 9:30am and the surgery was at 11:30am and at 1:30 I was walking out the door going home (FIXED). I have had no pain what so ever and have not taken any pain pills of any kind. If I ever need any of the services that he offers I will definitely be seeing him again. I’m back at work now after 3 days off, pain free and happy. Thanks again Dr Todd Prochnow!!!

According to spouse Carol, Dr. Proachnow, Berryhill orthopedics, Milton, Fl... spiral fracture occurred of Carol's humerus... He inserted a rod and left it too high, into the shoulder rotator cup, with a separated gap between the two broken bones... Carol's shoulder never healed (8 months), but he had her going thru physical therapy and then told her she'd have to live with it or when the pain got bad enough he'd take the rod out with no suggestions of how he'd fix it... he should have put a shorter rod in or plate with securing screws at both ends, bringing the main bones together and then wrapping the fracture with a titanium wire to bring the other spiral fractured bones together... this is the proceedure which Dr. Marshall finally fixed Carol's shoulder. Carol couldn't leave the rod in bc it's too high and it'll mess up her shoulder rotator cup, which it eventually did... Under Carol's new doctor (Dr. Marshall) he tried a bone stimulator first to get the bones to grow together accross the gap, so he could hopefully take the rod out but this didn't work... the gap was too big for the bone stimulator to work and adding a plate and screws to bring the bones together eventually fixed Carol's shoulder... Dr. Prochnow is somewhat arrogant and apparently is not prepared with different length rods and what length rods to use, fully educated on other options, or sloppy with his techniques... He never mentioned how he'd fix this problem after he took the rod out? There's no common sense to his logic and hurried actions... plus, I know of others (our housekeeper for one) who he's done poorly on as well.

I was going to Dr Prochnow in Avalon, Florida office until last year. I had been seeing him over a course of 18 months and getting injections in my knee for osteoarthritis. It wasn't helping much so he suggested iovera. That worked great. As a matter of fact, l was able to walk again without pain. He said if worked we do it again in 4 months. So scheduled it and never recieved call to verify again. So was scheduled in Jan and May was hurting so much went in again. I brought up they never called to set exact day but month and he said bc lm only going to do for post knee but never called to inform me. Steroid shots did not work. So l again told him this. His reply was this, RUDELY. MAYBE IF YOU BOUGHT BETTER INSURANCE YOU COULD GET BETTER THINGS I CAN DO. bc he had mentioned shot that prob help but expensive. Hes full of himself and very rude. If l could afford better l would have had. Proves not all drs care. Obviously hes about $$$ and btw my insurance covered the iovera. He just

Run from this Dr.

If good insurance be ok but if not best, watch out.

I had minor surgery to remove a ganglion cyst on my middle finger. Now it is swollen and twisted with arthritis. Similar surgery on my index finger several years ago resulted in a small dent.(different state) competent doctor.

I went to see Dr Prochnow because of a back problem. I walked in his office using a walker. I told him what I might have done to injure myself; he did not examine me. He said I would be fine in 3 months and I did not need a walker. He prescribed pain medication and dismissed me. I made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon on Pensacola. He examined me, took x-rays and showed me the pics of my spine. I had severe arthritis & bulging disc and spinal stenosis. Prochnow is a quack.
