I just had my first appointment with Dr. Piper and Dr. Shah and I was very impressed by the staff whom were all very knowledgeable and caring. I was blown away by the thoroughness and analysis pf my TMJ problem by Dr. Piper. It was the most in depth and accurate report of a problem that Ive been suffering with for far too long. I finally feel like I have a more full understanding of my problem and feel more prepared to take the next steps I need to feel better. Thank you guys so much, hope to see you again soon!

Dr. Piper is the best doctor on the planet. He has the best bedside manner of any doctor, ever. His entire staff truly care about getting you back to a pain free life if at all possible. From the moment I stepped into the clinic in St Petersburg I felt like family. From the diagnosis phase, through surgery and aftercare and the follow up visits I was treated like a queen and felt like I was the only patient at times. They just listen that well. They not only listen but teach and explain every aspect of what they are doing, help with underlying diagnosis and help you figure that out as well. Not only does Dr. Piper help his patients but he helps future patients with severe jaw issues by teaching and training other doctors. There are so many people that I have now come in contact with that have also loved Dr. Pipers care. I came from Virginia to get his help and he was worth all that I had to have him literally rebuild both jaws and put me back together. I can speak, eat, brush my teeth, and talk again because he was able to put me back together. I cannot say enough about his care for each patient.

Extremely impressive practice. All the doctors had two doctorate degrees. Dr. Mark Pipe is a world renowned expert on TMJ and other related issues. He invented a scale to measure TMJ. My wife had trouble for years and he diagnosed it and we went to a dentist that had trained at one of his seminars. He teaches other dentists restorative techniques and TMJ related issues. People travel from all over the world to him. We were there all day and they provided us with meals! Extremely thorough and cutting edge. So grateful we live within driving distance.

We are very impressed with Dr. Mark A. Piper, his staff and the atmosphere! Everyone at the Piper Clinic is so helpful and they put you at ease right away. They took our daughter, Amy back before we could even sit down. My husband and I were able to go back with her for everything, except for xrays of her bite & made a mold, and a CT Scan. We were right there waiting for her and it only took a few minutes. Amy is 18 years old and has been in chronic pain everyday for 6 years. Dr. Piper is a calm, soft spoken, down to earth man who takes the time to explain everything in great detail. He was very good with Amy, trying to help her relax. I can't say enough about how pleased and relieved we were to find that Dr. Piper is all that we had hoped he would be! He is the surgeon who can give Amy a normal, pain free life again. While at Amy's initial visit, I talked to a few patients in various stages of recovery. They all were very happy with Dr. Piper's surgery and follow-up. We also have talked on the phone to 2 patients that had the same surgery that Amy will be having. They have fully recovered, for a year or more and they are so thankful. One said Dr. Piper gave her her life back! She will always refer people to him. I am so very happy Dr. Dennis referred him to us and thank God that he guided us to Dr. Piper! Amy finally has hope and an end in sight for her pain! Kathy Sauls

Dr.piper expects highly of himself, his staff and of his patients. He means to meticulously and to his best of his ability to resolve my issues, be that of CRPS related. There may be times that his clinic is confusing to what patients are expected of and what patients can expect of the clinic but it is to be very thorough and insightful to your illness. Dr. Piper is also highly esteemed in his character that he will intently listen to my mothers grievances on my sufferings behalf and will sincerely reach out his condolences.

I've seen MANY doctors about my severe TMJ issues. Most of them saw 3-4 cases like mine a year--Dr. Piper sees that many in a day. I've been impressed by his data-driven style and holistic approach. He holds his staff to high standards and the scans, tests, impressions that are made are excellent and reliable (not always easy when the patient can't open their mouth). Most importantly, he's delivered great results--more than I thought possible. The only downside is that he is very expensive and traveling to Florida is a hassle.

Dr. Piper and staff are incredible. We traveled from Chicago to have him help my daughter with her jaw pain and it absolutely changed her life for the best. Dr. Piper is one of the most brilliant doctors we have ever met; an absolute expert on tmj issues. I can't imagine what my daughters life would be like right now if we hadn't found him. She had her surgery with him 5 years ago and she is like a new person. Dr. Piper was attentive, thorough, respectful, and kind. He went above and beyond in spending time with my daughter and us in providing all the details of her jaw, the surgery and her recovery. I can't say enough good things about him and the entire staff. Thank you!

Dr. Piper and his staff are life changers! March 8th, I will be celebrating my one year anniversary of being migraine and pain free! I have had constant migraines since I was 12 years old. I have been to SEVERAL doctors with no success to relieve my pain. I was introduced to Dr. Margaret Dennis who originally diagnosed me with a jaw joint problem, and referred me too Dr. Piper. During my consult, Dr. Piper confirmed my jaw joint issue, and recommended surgery to do a fat graph on my jaw joint. Of course, I had mixed emotions. I knew this journey would be long, and not for the faint of heart. I knew this was my only option. Fast forward a few weeks later, I had my surgery. Immediately when I woke up I didn't have pain surrounding my head. I mean I was on pain meds, but still I didn't have that constant pressure in my head. When the paid meds wore off, I still did not have the pain!!!!! The recovery journey has not been the easiest, but I know I have been lucky with how smooth its been for me. Honestly, Dr. Piper has saved my life. There's no telling where I'd be without him. Thank you Dr. Piper for all that you do, and thank you to his staff for being so kind and helping every step of the way!

I have just returned from The Piper Clinic. I travelled from Connecticut. I felt that the staff was warm and informative and I was totally prepared for what to expect because they tell you so much before you come and they mail you a whole packet of extremely detailed information. It is an entire day long appointment because they take detailed notes of your medical history, detailed measurements, create a mold of your teeth, you get a CT scan, and an MRI. Dr. Piper reviews all of this information along with any notes from prior treating doctors, and then spends the time to carefully explain his findings, review the CT scan and MRI with you in meticulous detail. Part of the day is spent watching educational videos so that you are well informed about some of the information you will hear during the review with Dr. Piper at the end of the day. So it's not all completely foreign, you know what certain terminology means, what certain references are, how to know if you are viewing the left or right side, what measurements are in normal range, what are cause for concern, etc. This way, you get the most out your time with the actual consultation. Honestly, I felt like this was the first time in my life I have finally been seen by a REAL DOCTOR, and was really HEARD as a patient. Dr. Piper does not participate in insurance, you have to submit it yourself. But this is how he is able to run his office like a well oiled machine and can spend quality time with his patients. He is not run by the insurance companies, so patients are not herded in and out every 15 minutes. He truly helps people, and I'm so grateful that I was referred to him. I finally feel like there is hope to resolve my painful TMJ and neck injury after years of suffering after a car accident. He was not egotistical in any way, he was kind, considerate, welcomed questions, offered all the information needed for US to make a decision as to how to go forward with treatment. It was a great experience!

It's scary going to a specialized doctor for anything, but from the moment we walked we were taken care of and treated like family. The day of tests amd diagnostics was laid out and shared with us down to the minute. The accommodations are good for those spouses waiting with your loved ones. Dr. Brian Shan and team are totally incredible.
