Mark A Piper's Online Review Report Card

I have been going to Dr. Piper for years. I originally saw him when he was on 9th Street North in Saint Petersburg Florida but now that he has moved to Seminole I have started going back to him. I highly recommend Dr. Piper to anyone who is afraid to go to the dentist.

My experience with Dr. Piper was incredibly traumatizing. I paid over $1,000 for the initial consultation and flew to Florida from Virginia, then was corralled around the office all day long, sat in rooms watching informational videos that were completely irrelevant to my issue, and didn't actually get to sit down and talk to him until an hour before closing. My mom and I were there from 7am to 9pm and didn't actually get to see dr. Piper until 8pm. Throughout the day, nothing about the tests they ran were explained to us and none of our questions were answered. As someone with severe tmj and chronic illness, by the end of the day I was in so much pain and exhausted and confused. Dr. Piper clearly wanted to just get us out of there and was belittling and rude when we asked questions about his treatment plan. We were given a completely fatalistic answer, told that I would need to get a $50,000 fat graft survey as soon as possible or risk severe deterioration of my disks in my jaw joint. This was framed as my only option for for relief, which was devastating. He refused to hear or answer any questions about risks of his surgery. Also told me that my facial structure was abnormal which triggered some body dysmorphia for me. Seek tmj treatment elsewhere. Don't put your trust in someone who lacks patience and listening skills. I can't imagine going through such an intense and traumatic surgery and then dealing with such an asshole post op. There are many other less invasive options and providers who aren't complete money hungry narcissists.

Dr. Mark Piper has done several of my surgeries when i lived in Florida- i would and will use him again--i would highly recomend -this Dr and i have on many occasions--easy to talk to!! I now live in SC.

Dr. Mark Piper, MD, DDS is the best surgeon and a brilliant diagnostician. Of course, as a dentist, I have heard him lecture internationally, and after serious car accident in 2003- the entire family in the car went for evaluation- he saved my life as the damaged TMJ pain is often a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. The staff and facilities are excellent. Do not be surprised to see patients of all ages from children to active seniors. During follow-up appointments, I met several health care personnel , athletes, concerned parents, and surgeons of all specialties -most had looked for years to answers to facial pain questions that were lucky enough to find Dr. Piper. A very kind and thoughtful "old school" gracious, ethical, and nurturing physician worthy of your trust and whom you will adore!!! My Hero!! PS: My then young son, age 7, now a college junior, said , "Dr. Piper is the best!". The trip is worth it !!

I had bilateral fat graft surgery and an additional surgery to correct my bite. That was nearly 20 years ago and I have had no additional complications. Dr. Piper is a by the book surgeon and really knows his stuff. The staff was wonderful and took great care of me pre- and post-op. For anyone who has had these issues, it is a process which requires patience and work on the patient's part in the healing process. Before the surgery I was in constant agonizing pain. Since the surgery I have been pain free. I would recommend the Piper Clinic to anyone looking to get their life back after dealing with the pain of TMJ. We traveled from NJ for the surgery and it was worth the trip for the life changing result. -Mark Gillan Hackettstown, NJ

Dr. Piper, marketing himself as world TMJ expert, misdiagnosed my wife, caused her severe psychological trauma by claiming that she has incurable and debilitating Complex Regional Pain Syndrome I. This was denied by a CRPS expert Dr. Yi from Washington University/Barnes Jewish hospital and another expert doctor from a top Chicago clinic. He charged us $1950 for a 2-hour consultation, an exorbitant fee.He treated my wife in a humiliating, condescending way without providing any useful information and did not provide any answers as far as her treatment of TMJ which was why we travelled from Europe to Florida at additional expense. During the consultation, he kept repeating "You must own your problem." without offering any solution. He compared her alleged CRPS to a "kicked dog." Once we informed him of Dr. Yi's conclusion, Dr. Piper withdrew her from his patient list without providing any useful TMJ help. Dr. Piper has enormous ego and anyone who dares to have any question about anything will be humiliated. We had to wait from 7am till 7pm, 12 hours in the office, for a useless consultation.

I had Dr. Piper's fat graft surgery and can't say enough good things about him. Not only is he a brilliant surgeon and diagnostician, but he has an awesome bed side manner. The recovery is tough, and you have to to follow his instructions post op to a T. He can only do his part, the rest is yours to do as he instructs. He Is awesome at what he does.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Piper. He is amazingly talented and sincerely cares about his patients.
