Thomas Mixa's Online Review Report Card

I too had my run in with Dr. Mixa and strongly encourage all to submit their own complaints and reviews to the Western Florida Better Business Bureau as I have. My visit to Dr. Mixa was for excruciating / debilitating knee pain caused by what's known as a Baker's cyst which Dr. Mixa diagnosed it's cause to be a torn meniscus and explained the permanent remedy to be surgery which was promptly scheduled that same day by his office staff. I subsequently learned the proper protocol for Dr. Mixa"s diagnoses was NOT followed and would have required an MRI which Dr. Mixa DID NOT prescribe. I then sought a second and third Orthopedist's opinion whom prescribed, read and provided a written analysis of an MRI which concluded NO torn meniscus and absolutely NO reason for my very expensive scheduled surgery. I shared the MRI disk with Dr. Mixa and requested he submit his own written analysis prior to surgery and he REFUSED. My knee and wallet are just fine and i would stay away from this doctor

I had to have emergency surgery for a fractured femur. I was very happy to have Dr. Mixa and his team. It was a long recovery, but I'm grateful to have had Dr.Mixa as my surgeon.

Dr Mixa and staff are 10 plus. The ladies in the front are the very best. Kind , friendly and very knowledgeable

Very friendly staff always willing to help answer any questions you may have. Dr. Mixa very nice explains everything in detail what is going to do highly recommend this office. It’s nice when you go in and people greet you and don’t act like your bothering them.very friendly and helpful. It’s hard to find these days, but kudos to you all great staff !!!

Terrific Dr., Always see him when I go in , he's the best of the best. As for his staff, and billing, they are horrific. Calls are not returned, they talk down to you, or at least they try to, and really don't understand insurance. I've been chasing a refund from overpayment to the office since last November, was told the check was to be issued in a few weeks, 4 months later... still waiting and won't return calls...... He needs better staff that represent him better.

He's an ass, pays no attention to you, does all the talking and now I read he's involved in a lawsuit where the patient died.

Dr. Mixa did my left full knee replacement and I had no issues whatsoever. His staff was great, courteous, friendly and professional. I'm coming back to him for my right knee replacement, my right shoulder torn rotator cuff and my lower back. He is truly one of a kind and knows his stuff. I just love Dr. Mixa and his wife both.

I was referred to Dr. Mixa from my primary physician for knee pain. He staff was great and got me an appointment within a reasonable time frame. I was there a little early for my appointment and was taken in on time and had my x-rays completed right there. I waited about 15 minutes for the DR and he came in with my x-rays and showed me how the knee was bone on bone on the right side and talked to me about options to try before surgery. He was informative and had a great bed side manor. I really like him and his staff.
