Piper Clinic, St. Petersburg FL

I just finished my final 15 month visit with the Piper Clinic. I wish I could give Dr Piper, Dr Shah and the entire staff 10 stars. My only negative was my insurance company (BCBS of Florida) and that was mainly because I’m a federal employee.
Special people that made my whole experience so smooth were Jaseyl when you when you walk in the door, Mr Jeff Thompson (awesome guy) who walks you through everything, Justin, who does most of your post op checks, and Tanille who is your go to for all things insurance.
There are plenty of people that I didn’t mention that made my whole experience successful but these are the one’s that I saw each visit.
Thank you to everyone at the Piper Clinic!

Dr. Piper performed my TMJ surgery 35 years ago, and I remain pain free ever since. Even back then patients were coming from around the world for his care, since there is no one else - then or now - as pedigreed, innovative, and as talented as he is. I had migraine-level pain that was improperly diagnosed for 4 years. I traveled from NY to FL over a dozen times between the surgery and post surgery checkups. Life changing decision.

After 4 + years of massive pain and no progress here at home in Canada, we were fortunate to find information on the Piper Clinic. It was a stressful process traveling so far, several times, during covid issues, yet it was the right choice. Our daughter's severe TMJ problem has been rectified with the 10/10 nerve pain all but gone. Thank you Dr. Piper, Dr. Shau and all the staff. Each of you made a difference for our family.

After waking up at 6am so that we could arrive on time for a 7am appointment, we waited for 20 minutes outside of the locked front door in the rain before leaving. We received a call at 7: 30 finally telling us that they had arrived and were ready to see us. I reminded them that we had arrived at 7am as instructed and asked for the visit to be discounted, but was told that the price was firm, regardless of what time they show up. As someone who greatly values their time, I find it incredibly insulting to have someone miss an appointment by 30 minutes and then do nothing to attempt to rectify the situation. But if you are coming here, here is a pro tip: They book the entire day for you and there is no late fee, so show up 30 minutes after your scheduled appointment. If you are someone like me who hates having your time wasted, this way you can make sure that they are waiting for you and not the other way around.

I just had my first appointment with Dr. Piper and Dr. Shaw 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.

Very professional ambiance and team. Dr. Piper is so incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented, not to mention he actually takes the time to explain all the details. I'm very grateful for my experience, definitely worth the trip from Canada!

I have TMJ and CRPS. I was in severe horrible pain! Dr Piper & Dr Shaw did a full & thorough exam all in one day! After the exam, he knew to give me nerve blocks because my CRPS pain. My pain was a 10/10 and now its a 2/10 and some days I’m entirely PAIN FREE! He has an INCREDIBLE team! Just to name a few, Diamond, Lucinda, Daisy, Jaseyl and the entire Piper team was caring, compassionate, and kind! I can’t thank them enough! The sweet woman who did the MRI was kind and empathetic too, understanding of CRPS pain, making appropriate accommodations: Just an overall excellent experience! I very highly recommend Dr Piper, Dr Shaw, and their team to anyone suffering from TMJ pain!

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.
