Thomas J Stengel's Online Review Report Card

My husband was under this doctors care for several years. Annually his brain tumor would be "reviewed'. Years later after being told "no growth", MULTIPLE MULTIPLE brain tumors were discovered AFTER waking up blind due to his optic nerve being destroyed. Of course, the doctor is not be blamed for faulty genetics or human imperfection, but I do blame him for his incompetence and negligence of discovering what has been SO obvious to multiple doctors since. My husbands blindness I do blame on him. It could possibly have been prevented or at the very least, delayed. YOU have OPTIONS. Go to USF in Tampa. Their neuroscience department runs circles around any here in St. Pete.

Dr Stengel along with his staff extended my life by 20 years by performing Brain Mapping (Wide awake durning Brain surgery). I am blessed!!

I thank Dr Stengel for the extension of my life. Doc performed the first ever wide awake Brain Tumor Surgery in the history of Pinellas County on me back on 8-26-2003. Being wide a awake during the surgery helped Dr. Stengel map out where he could or couldn't remove part of the tumor that had the lesser amount of sacrifices. My Tumor was an Oligodendroglioma/Astrocytoma. Only 2.8% of all Tumors are Oligo-Astro. If I had too have Brain Surgery again I trust him. 18 years and still alive. The Average Life EXPEDACY IS 8-12 YEARS.

Dr Stengal has been my surgeon for about 8 years. I've had 2 surgeries on my lumbar area due to two separate herniations. He's professional, compassionate and down to earth. My life has been changed twice in a very positive way thanks to his skills as a surgeon.

Incompetent. Mother broke her neck in mid Feb. Dr put her in a collar and sent her to rehab. Canceled her follow up appointment because she has COPD and coughs, even tho she tested neg for COVID. Told her to keep wearing the collar. She went to her primary Dr and was refered to another neurosurgen and is now having emergency surgery. The break is life threatening. Do not trust this Dr. with your life.

Incompetent. Mother broke her neck middle of Feb. Dr put her in a neck brace and sent her to rehab. Canceled her follow up appt because she has copd and he was afraid of Covid even tho she tested neg for infection. Now almost 2 months later, Mom went for check up with her primary and was refered to another neurologist who upon review of CT scan has scheduled her for emergency surgery. Her fracture is so severe that it is life threatening. Do not let this man any where near your loved ones.

Same review as above multitude of reviews where stengel is very lax in getting the results back in alot more timely basis (sometimes a month or more), IF you receive it at all! very sad! ONE star for sure!

I honestly love dr. Stengel and all his staff they are so kind and help full. You just have to learn to be patient and kind with them they have hard days they go through a lot as well they are their for our own good. Have some courtesy and smile and say thank you and save all your mean hateful comments they are great and wonderful people who help us and they know what they are doing dr. Stengel saved my life he operated MY BRAIN and his team and him made me feel safe and made me laugh and not scared.

Dr Stengel performed the first ever Brain Mapping while I was awake on August 26th, 2003. I have a Grade 2 Oligo Astro. Doc did a great job or I would not be here today! This is not a paid statement or marketing tool. Life is short. Enjoy it. Tks Doc
