If you gave mom painkillers for her broken wrist, I would have given you 5 stars. The image display was great. Cast is great. Ease of scheduling cast removal was great.

Jul-2024
I had a very positive experience with the staff here. The PT I was assigned (Jennifer) was especially good. I had roughly a dozen appointments of 45 minutes for treatment of medial epicondylitis (golf elbow). The treatment over a two month period gave me close to 100% recovery. I'm very pleased with the results although I hope I don't have to return again!!!
Jun-2024
Only bad thing was I wasn’t seen for a hour after appointment time

Great doctor. Personable and caring.
Mar-2024
I met with Rochelle again this time and was very pleased with the quality of care I received.
Mar-2024
I scheduled an appointment to meet with the doctor instead. His PA met with me. I really can't say anything negative about her. I was extremely disappointed that. I had scheduled to meet with a specialist and never once did he come into the room to introduce himself or meet with me. I brought this matter up to the front office. their response to me was. I should have asked for him. I don't think that they get it, how can I ask to see the doctor when all along. I thought he would come in to meet with me. Extremely disappointed.
Mar-2024
Doctor is pleasant and easy to talk to for the most part. Good personality and a very good dresser. Overall someone with whom I could have a pleasant conversation over a beer.
Mar-2024
Quick and direct

Feb-2024
Kind, answered all questions, spent all the time I needed with me.
Feb-2024
Personable, professional. Took time to listen and answered all questions. Would highly recommend to others!
Feb-2024
I would give zero Stars if I could. I will not be returning to this office. The girls at the front desk are on their cell phones or talk to each other and totally ignore you when check in. when I finally walked away she said oh can I help you. the office is very inconsiderate of the patient's time. I waited 45 minutes for them to take me back to the consultation room and then I waited another 15 minutes before I decided to leave. I didn't want to waste any more of my leave time at work. I asked the girl at front desk for refund of my Co-pay, they always want that up front. I asked for a receipt and was told they do not give receipts which is totally funny because when I paid and gave them my money I had to sign 2 receipts and they gave me 2 receipts. How do you prove you didn't see the dr when they check you in and take your $. I would also note that Dr Pappou may be an excellent surgeon however his bedside needs extreme improvement!
Feb-2024
Very attentive to his patients needs and concerns. He is insightful and asks probing questions to determine appropriate care towards a superior outcome !! A genuine and thoroughly superior specialist. I would recommend his services to family and friends with vigor.
Feb-2024
I liked how Dr Pappou listened and talked through the health concerns. The discussion was a collaborative effort rather than a directive one.
Feb-2024
Very pleased with the office staff, and happy with all on my first visit. Thank you.

Excellent doctor. Thorough diagnosis and clear communication.
Jan-2024
Never met the doctor. The NPR clearly was in a rush to get me out the door.
Feb-2024
He came HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, and I was not disappointed. Dr. P was very professional, "knew his stuff"..unfortunately, as I expected, my prognosis was dire. He recommended a Boston surgeon to handle my situation when I return to MA in May. I'm a 1st time patient at that facility and very impressed with the entire staff..hats for 5-Star Service!!
Feb-2024
Excelente Dr.
Jan-2024
Excellent and caring Doctor. Answers all of my questions and was interested in me as a person. I was lucky to have him as my surgeon.
Jan-2024
I've seen Dr. Pappou a few times now for three different ailments (wrists, elbow, and shoulder). He was very friendly and always spent plenty of time with me explaining what the issue was and what my treatment should be. He has been spot-on every time. I needed carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and Dr. Pappou did my surgery in both hands same time. No issues, smooth recovery. I recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, compassionate, professional surgeon!
Jan-2024
He is very thorough & knowledgeable
Jan-2024
Best bed side manor!
Jan-2024
People there were great. Only issue was my 1 pm appointment did not get called back until about 1:50pm. Once back there, Dr P was very great and the lady that put on my caste was the best ever!
Not a big deal but the front desk people could smile a little bit. I thought I was getting in trouble😀
I would definitely recommend this office. Thanks everyone.
Jan-2024
Dr. Pappou is an excellent doctor. He takes the time to listen to you and he explains things thoroughly.
Jan-2024
He is warm and wonderful ! If ever I break another bone I would chose him again.
Jan-2024
I found Dr. Pappou very knowledgeable and personable. He immediately put me at ease and took time to clearly articulate the least invasive approach to help resolve the issue.
Jan-2024
I arrived early and was asked if I had a referral, which YOUR office is responsible for, turns out it wasn’t finalized & waited almost 2 hours before being told I’d have to reschedule, at a minimum someone should’ve called me before the appointment to inform me about the missing referral, I am not responsible for the referral, that is between your office & my primary, this office is also far from me so in total I wasted over 3 hours including driving time, this was a complete disrespect of me, the patient
Jan-2024
Professional and caring. Listens to his patients and ensure they understand diagnosis and or procedures before you leave the office. Would highly recommend him!
Jan-2024
Dr Pappou repaired my broken elbow recently. Not only did the surgery go well, my recovery has been easier than I expected . His demeanor is professional, assuring & he speaks to you on the same level: Dr Pappou is very much a gentleman and he has lived up to the many referrals I was given.
Jan-2024
He was GREAT!! HAPPY I I WENT TO HIM!! Friendly

Dec-2023
Excellent knowledgeable staff and compassionate care!
Dec-2023
Came for follow up visit and after sitting over an hour, watching others (at least 10) entering checking in and being sent back within 10 minutes I went to be sure we were checked in. Was told running behind so I sat back down. Again, eating people coming in, going into the back I again asked what’s up that this is getting ridiculous. They asked if I wanted to reschedule, I said yes and I did. Very upset with this visit
Nov-2023
I think this was an excellent consultation.
I appreciated the focused assessment and explanation of clinical findings, diagnosis and plan.
I felt listened to and was able to ask multiple questions. This was very helpful and I left with a much greater understanding of my condition.
Nov-2023
Dr. Pappou and his office team were very professional.

Nov-2023
Saw his PA and she was amazing! She took her time to listen to my pain and was very thorough when explaining what is happening and what the next steps were. Front desk staff was very friendly and inviting. Great office would highly recommend.

What do you do next?
Thank you
Sep-2023
Three visits , long waiting period. I was then told to see another specialist.
Sep-2023
Informative and kind. Answered my questions
Sep-2023
Legible, courteous and professional
Sep-2023
He takes his time with each visit and is very detailed in explaining my care plan. His staff is also just as amazing as him. I had 4 of my specialists refer me to him as a hand surgeon and that speaks volumes to me when selecting a new specialist to my team.
Sep-2023
And to think I waited 4 years to address my bad hand, but if I had waited I may not have had Dr. Pappou.
He explained everything, what was causing the pain and what his solution would do. I'm 2 weeks into recovery and I couldn't be happier.
He is professional, very informative, a good listener and an excellent surgeon.
Sep-2023
Very straight forward will be back in the near future Thank you 😊 🙏
Sep-2023
Very happy with the entire staff. Everyone was top notch.
Sep-2023
He is an awesome Dr.! He listens, very courteous and excellent surgeon. Both myself Nd my husband have had surgery with him and would recommend him to everyone. If I ever moved out of state I would travel back just to see him I'd I needed an orthopedic doctor!
Sep-2023
Great experience! Everyone was helpful.
Dr Pappou is fantastic!
Sep-2023
Dr. Pappou was attentive, personable, but talked very fast. Mature patients have trouble hearing every word he says. Also waited 1 hour before being seen by him. Not Good!

Doctor was in a hurry to conclude the problem instead of asking more questions on symtoms
Aug-2023
Staff were wonderful (as always) Dr. could take a refresher course in how to appropriately interact with patients!
Aug-2023
Seemed in a rush and somewhat disinterested
Aug-2023
Great visit with the Doc, but the appointment was for 0930 and I wasn’t seen for more than 45 minutes

I changed to Dr. Pappou right away to get my procedure done. I was treated with patience and respect. I was educated on my situation, all things that were lacking in my prior doctor.
Thank you, Dr. Pappou

Jun-2023
Very Professional and to the point!
Jun-2023
It’s very hard to give an accurate rating. After all, I came for an opinion, which he provided. Dr. Pappou believed that “god made me this way”, referring to two areas (elbow and tricep) that show abnormal soft tissue growth and a bone spur (according to an mri/mri interpretation) along with numbness in my pinky and ring finger that required a Cubital tunnel release (previously completed). He hypothesized that my arm has always been this way and that I likely just started realizing this issue at age 34… However, the constant ache along with the discoloration and curling of my pinky was not like that until the past year. Neither was the numbness in my pinky and ring fingers. Nor were the dull aches that I feel around the elbow and tricep where the soft tissue growth and bone spur are now present (according to an mri as well as being visually apparent)…. I can’t understand why a simple biopsy is not recommended in cases of soft tissue masses manifesting with pain. Google suggests biopsy
Jun-2023
Very caring and kind.

Good clinician

May-2023
I was a bit upset with my situation, but he was really good at staying on point and talking me through it. He was the first doctor that punted out where the weakest position was in my arm/shoulder and used that as teaching moment for the student in the room . Very impressive to me.

May-2023
Great Dr!
May-2023
His bed side manor is just bad. Doesn't explain everything and is in such a hurry to move on to the next patient which they double book regularly. Needs to slow down and actual act like he cares about progress of the patient. Would not recommend as of now.
May-2023
Very good service
May-2023
Dr. Pappou listened, explained my options & proceeded to do a good job injecting a cortisone shot. Let’s pray it provides relief.
May-2023
Dr. Pappou was professional and after examining my hands and wrists was able to diagnose how the auto accident impact affected my hands and that the pain in my upper arms are due to cervical spine injuries. I appreciate the differential diagnosis and clarity.
May-2023
Excellent & knowledgeable surgeon!!
May-2023

Mar-2023
First post-surgery visit. He confirmed everything looks good with X-rays and took time to answer all questions. Feeling great about the results of my shoulder replacement.
Feb-2023
He’s very knowledgeable. I appreciate that he’s direct and explains the next steps clearly. The office runs very smoothly and everyone is friendly.
Feb-2023
No discussion. Na asking about my pain or distress. Demanded making a decision without any input. Was not heard (never had an opportunity to be heard). Did not offer to contact my orthopedic son who is head of Carrell Clinic in Dallas. My heart response to rating him has risen to 120.
Feb-2023
My son was referred from the ED to be seen by this Ortho surgeon. The appointment was scheduled, and the exact reason for this appointment was documented, Insurance verified etc. The first thing out of this Drs. mouth "I've never worked on ankles!" Complete waste of time. Then proceeds to tell us our 13-year-old doesn't need to wear the splint the ED placed. (ED confirmed right growth plate fracture). Complete joke! Insurance was charged as well as a co-pay prior to being seen, all just to be told "I've never worked on ankles".
Jan-2023
Very professional and through.

Great experience the best on shoulders!
Dec-2022
Dr. Pappou has a straight forward approach to intelligently and quickly diagnose a condition and immediately recommend the best minimal approach.
He is a highly skilled surgeon. His arthroscopic carpal tunnel surgery results in zero down time. For example, the surgery did not prevent me from playing guitar and fully using my hand the very next day!

Bedside manner day of surgery and post op were not very kid-friendly. My son was scared and does not handle blood well and Dr. Pappou's response to him was a little curt and abrasive.
Dec-2022
Dr. Pappou was very nice, he explained me the issue I had and how an infiltration could help me. Then he proceeded to do the shots and will follow me up in 6 more weeks.

Aug-2022
Dr. Pappou recently did surgery on my right elbow to help me with a severe tennis elbow problem. I do not play tennis, so I can only assume my problem was due to overuse. Unfortunately I waited WAY longer than I should have to see a doctor. I got two separate cortisone shots and did physical therapy, but those only gave me temporary relief. I was to a point where I couldn't even pick up a drink anymore or carry a bag of groceries. My day to day life was greatly impacted by the pain I was experiencing. During my initial visit with Dr. Pappou, he laid out several courses of action for me, and I ultimately decided to go straight to surgery due to the pain I was in. Although the week following surgery was tough, it was TOTALLY worth it. I am three months post-surgery and I am 95% better than I was the day before surgery, and every day gets a little bit better! I cannot thank Dr. Pappou enough, but will definitely recommend him to anyone suffering like I was. Thank you again!
Aug-2022
My hands are my living and he gave that back to me.. Excellent surgeon...
Aug-2022
The best doctor I have had.
Aug-2022
Explained everything to me and showed it to me in detail I appreciate that.
Aug-2022
Very caring and devoted to patient. Understands specific needs by being good listener and following thru with needs concerns. While being excellent surgeon, his post-op tx is even better. Explains options for therapy and involves patient’s feedback for surgery follow-up. Just feel very comfortable with his overall treatment .
Aug-2022
excellent, no wait knew the problem, explained it well, and didn't flinch when i screamed before the needle
Aug-2022

Jul-2022
He is extremely knowledgeable, Listens to his patients. I am a Intensive care nurse. I know a great doctor when I see how he cares for his patents.
Jul-2022
Dr Pappou is honest about your prognosis & treatment, Always on time, office runs efficiently.
Jul-2022
Dr. Pappou is excellent, and every contact with him has been positive. On the other hand, Florida Ortho Institute routinely over books patients and makes you wait an unreasonable amount of time. The place is a mad house due to the volume of patients they treat. If you don’t value your time, go for it.
Jun-2022
I have never met a Doctor who makes you feel you are being operated on by your brother. I have been a very tough patient but that just makes him work harder. No matter what the outcome he will not stop until he feels that he has done everything in his power to get you back to normal. I could write all night on what he has done for me but it would still not put into words every thing he has done. If you want a doctor who takes his work personal then put Dr. Pappou on your list of doctors that care.
Jun-2022
Right to to point to discuss my medical problem, very personable!!
Jun-2022
Professional, friendly, and had excellent ability to give injections.

Dr. Pappou is wonderful. He did surgery on my hand and it went smoothly. I have no qualms with him performing surgery on my shoulders. Also, he is friendly and caring.
Apr-2022
caring, thoughtful doctor with absolute care for his patients. A great staff too !!
I feel completely safe under the care of Dr. Pappou and trust that he has my best interests at heart regarding my health and conditions.

Mar-2022
Nice, thorough and to the point. Seemed slightly pre-occupied though…reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
Mar-2022
We were so pleased Dr Pappou did my Mom’s hip surgery and would refer everyone to him and the staff
Mar-2022
Dr. did not see me after hand surgery. The staff was very unfriendly. I had to wait an hour to have stitches out. Not the best experience I have had.

Wonderful Doctor. Spends time talking to you and explaining your options . Is always happy and pleasent.
Mar-2022
After my MRI and I came into his office and he told me I would need surgery but I have other questions all he kept saying was it would not be as long as if I had the tendance repaired
Mar-2022
Excellent care!
Mar-2022
I don't think 5 Stars even begins to rate the overall talent and empathy Dr. Pappou gives to his patients. You are not just a "Patient Number". Dr. Pappou involves you in every step of the decision making. He gives you options and shares his thoughts about those options. He is a top notch surgeon, that Florida Orthopedic Institute is very fortunate to have.
Mar-2022
The best.
Mar-2022
excellent
Mar-2022
I did not understand correctly the treatment and expectations regarding the shot that he gave me for the shoulder pain. The only that I understood was that if after 2 months I still have pain surgery would be the answer. But he gave me no pain medication and did not go through the exercises recommended to help the recovery. It was too quick and too wast! I noticed that I had an appointment for 2:50 and someone just checked in for a 3pm appointment. TEN minutes?!
Mar-2022
Truly gifted. Fixed my clavicle after another surgeon had botched the job. This is the guy you want.
Mar-2022
Great Experience. Dr. Pappou diagnosed and treated my trigger finger.
He explained future treatment fully, and made sure that any questions that I had were answered. I find him tobe professional and caring.

They were great
He listened.
HE IS THE BEST! My husband went through two surgeries with him. His mom went through a surgery with him. I have been through a surgery with him. He's fantastic - we travel hours to see him.
If you gave mom painkillers for her broken wrist, I would have given you 5 stars. The image display was great. Cast is great. Ease of scheduling cast removal was great.
Good professional group.
Very Attentive and Knowledgeable Glad I chose him.I will also thank Brian at Baycare Referral and Baycare urgent Care. Reminding me the situation needed attention
Very intuitive and thoughtful provider. Reviews all possible options, therapies and risks. I never feel like my concerns are ‘brushed off’
Bottom line approach. Thorough visit.
