Dr. Mark Allan Piper, DDS

Amazing and thorough work ethic is excelente. And he expect that from everyone. Love this doctor.

Dr Piper took me on as a patient thirty years ago . One doctor and another tried and failed to correctly diagnose me. From then until now, he has performed four TMJ surgeries on me. Each one a success. In between surgeries I was involved in auto accidents and two work related injuries. If not for his excellent expertise, I wouldn't even be able to open my mouth. Patients from all over the globe come to St Petersburg as a last resort after suffering many for years to find Dr Piper and his capable staff for healing and answers . Dr Piper shares his knowledge with numerous other professionals yearly in his facility of learning. In doing so, numerous patients are correctly diagnosed and treated . Over the years , I have recommended Dr. Piper to several individuals . Each one successfully treated.

Understands severe TMJ better than anyone I saw for help. My condition was grim at the time. Improvement after a series of surgery is miraculous.

I had tmj surgery done by Dr Piper. All was fine until there were complications post-op. The stitches came out a few days after surgery and you could see into my ear. It was bleeding and gross. I was told over the phone "it's no big deal, we'll check it when you come in next." A week later. I also had trouble with the post op therapy machine running smoothly, it would jerk to one side. Dr Piper put it in my mouth and held it there watching it happen as tears ran down my face. I finally pushed his hands away and took it out of my mouth because the pain was more than I could take. He kicked me out of the exam room because I was crying and said,"when you can act like an adult, I'll let you come back in my office. Until then, you can sit in the hall." He showed me to a chair in the corner of the hallway and left me there for an hour, like I was a child being punished for something. I just wanted a machine that didn't hurt me and yank my jaw. At that point he'd gotten paid by the… insurance for the surgery, and didn't need me anymore and didn't want to deal with anything less than a "perfect patient." I felt used and abused. I've never been treated so horribly by anyone, much less by a medical professional. I never returned to his office after that and got treatment elsewhere. He's not worth the hype or the money. There are plenty of other providers who will truly care about your long term recovery and be there beginning to end for you.

Intelligent, trustworthy, not money hungry!

Strongly discourage anyone from going here. Waste of money and still not better. Try everything and anything else first

His knowledge is beyond comparison. Extremely thorough. His consult was almost 3 hours. Hard pressed to say any doctor spends that much time with you. His follow up was fantastic, everyday for 10 days post op.
