Leon Paul Mead

Dr Mead performed a procedure to clean up scar tissue from an old shoulder injury I suffered playing football in high school, and he did a hip replacement for me about 6 years ago. I am now 76. The outcome of both procedures could not have been better. The recovery time for my hip replacement was unbelievably short, I was walking, albeit slowly, in the hospital hallway the day after the surgery. I was playing tennis within 3 months. His staff is terrific and he follows up regularly to be sure I have no problems, and I have had none. I have had a dozen surgeries for various sports injuries and I consider Dr. Mead the best surgeon I have been fortunate to have found.

I had a damaged shoulder that made it impossible to use my right arm. Surgery was fast and following Dr. Meads advice carefully and doing the physical therapy I am good as new.

Everyone was delightful, professional,helpful and kind.

Always timely appointments, friendly competent staff, very thoughtful doctor that always looking for what is best for the patient. The best pre opp. Protocol of any surgeon I have ever had experience with

Amy had knee surgery in April 2021 for a torn meniscus. Dr. Mead did an excellent job and has followed her progress through rehab PT and as she rejoined a club team in Feb 2022. She had a slight tweak due to overuse and Dr. Mead was conservative in his treatment to have her back off for 30 days and re-enter play more slowly. He is not only a skilled surgeon he is a kind human being who truly cares about his patients. His office is filled with pictures of athletes who are back at it again after surgery so it’s very reassuring that she will be back to speed too. The staff is attentive, they actually answer their phone (no recording of ‘press 1 for this’ etc) and know our daughter by name. With the thousands of surgeries and patients he’s had over 30+ years it’s no wonder he’s the best. Highly recommended. Amy had knee surgery in April 2021 for a torn meniscus.

I had excruciating pain in my knee. I received an injection of Clarex and four days later I was pain free. My knee has zero pain, total mobility and feels like there was never anything wrong with it. Totally amazing, definitely a game changer. I highly recommend!

I had right knee replacement in Chicago last year. The experience was horrendous. The pain was unbearable. It took over a year to heal. I could not sleep well for 4 months. My experience from the prior surgery created a belief never do this again. From word of mouth I heard about Dr Leon Mead. My fear of operational procedures caused to try the stem cell only. It helped, but was not was complete. I asked about his knee replacement in conjunction with stem cells. The amazing results were phenomenal.I walked with no aid in less than a week. The pain and suffering was a small faction from the previous surgery.My friends were amazed of the results. Thank you aiding me to enjoy life again

Though I am very satisfied with both rotator cuffs surgeries, 2014 & 2015 by Dr Mead. His practice has gotten to big for his britches. He saw my wife on 10/26/2020, referred her to neurologist Wolff and to this date, 10/29/2020 Dr Wolff has not received the notes from Dr Mead. Just talked to Brenda at Mead's office indicating no knowledge when the notes will be ready. Meanwhile, my wife is under excruciating pain and w/o notes from Mead Dr Wolff will not schedule appointments. As a result one more week of suffering. Thank you for your service Dr. Mead! Finally, yesterday 11/19/20 Dr. Wolff's office must have received Dr. Mead's notes because I received the call to set up the appointment for my wife ... w/o further comments.

Did an excellent and complicated (12 tears) rotator cuff surgery with stem cell on my husband who is 100 % recovered.

Dr. Mead replaced my left knee on Dec 13, 2019. It has been 10 months and my knee is absolutely outstanding. I am back to enjoying all activities: cycling, pickleball, hiking. Plan to get back to snowboarding, cross country skiing and snowshoeing this winter. It has exceeded my very high expectations.

I had a left knee replacement surgery 1/22/2021 with Dr. Leon Mead. Everything went very well. I finished my physical therapy last Wed 4/14 with flying colors. The whole procedure and aftermath was terrific. Dr. Leon Mead did a wonderful job. There is. Virtually no scar to be seen. I am walking, exercising and pitching and putting in Golf. The staff is so very professional, kind and pleasant. I had the Stem Cell injection which speeded up my recovery, according to my PT therapist and verified by Michael Garcia, PA-C and Dr. Mead. I highly recommend Dr. Leon Mead for any of your orthopedic needs. He also replaced my right hip 14 years ago, fixed an elbow problem with an Epicondolectomy and did an arthroscopic procedure on my husband knee. He and his staff are the best,

Six weeks ago I received a Clarix shot for bone on bone pain. The day of the procedure I only experienced some discomfort that evening from the shot. Within two days I was able to resume my daily activity of walking 5 to 6 miles . In addition, I have been able to continue another of my daily activities climbing up and down 14 flights of stairs. Another activity I plan to do is down hill skiing out West. I also had 5 weeks of physical therapy which helped my range of motion I have not experienced any pain since the procedure and have been able to resume my daily workouts without pain and fear of doing damage to my knee.

Doctor did not see me. Even when I had an appointment. They have very rude staff. Apparently they have so much people (business) that they get to choose who they see. Very disappointing, never felt so descriminated in my life.

I was there about 40 minutes early as I had to fill out paperwork. They asked for me to be there 30 minutes early. They had 4 NEW patient appointments for 230- REALLY?! I am not seen till 315 He’s an aloof dr not very personable and just seemed like I was more of a bother. I go to check out and I have to pay 332 and that’s MY part of the ins. His 10 minute chat with me was like 276 are you kidding me. Just cause he has LOTS of signed autographs from famous people displayed all over his walls.

Dr Meade did a revised knee replacement a year ago and it is wonderfull ! he did a fantastic job

Excellent! Dr Mead took care of my dad’s hip and knee. The office staff were great and followed up on everything we asked. The best!!

My first new patient visit was today... I have to say I was very impressed with the professionalism and the kindness of the staff.. Dr. Mead is very easy to talk with and puts you at ease with his dry wit, humor and personality.. He gave me the appropriate time for a New patient and explained everything perfectly. The office is very clean, tidy and professional. It is also easy to find off of Goodlette Frank.. The CSR's up front were very helpful on the phone answering questions and making you feel as ease..

I just had my second knee replacement done by Dr. Mead. I highly recommend him. He really listened to me during our consultation, and my first knee which was done in December feels and looks great. I am three days post-op on the second knee and am feeling well, and pain medication is effective. Everyone in his office and at the hospital were wonderful.

have had 3 surgeries from Dr. Mead and he is outstanding. Careful about infection and great about telling me what I need and WHY. My mother had a knee and a hip and my husband had 2 knees and were also impressed

Dr. Mead was friendly, kind, informative, and made me feel I was special to him. He does not rush in and rush out. I have had 2 hip replacements and have had no problems. He did a fantastic surgery on both hips and all pain I was having before surgery has never come back. My first hip replacement was 2004 and second replacement 2015.

Very professional. Dr. Mead Diagnosed and selected a partial knee, rather then a full knee operation. I am 80 years old, I play golf 3 days a week. After one year of the operation, I still have no pain, and no swelling—-none at all. I am very satisfied with the results.

My experience has been excellent. Office visits went smoothly. Preparation for surgery was thorough. Follow up after surgery was also excellent. I'm in my early 70s and I'm back playing tennis 5 days a week with virtually no limitations and no pain.

For my first surgery, I had a great hip surgery experience. The procedure and hospital stay went as planned. The home health care people had great knowledge and big hearts. I know a lot about the food business and nothing about physical therapy. I learned so much from Mark Johnson at Naples Physical Therapy. They gave me good exercises and retraining on how to walk again. I am still amazed at 2 months, I am back to a new happy, healthy normal. Thank you Dr Mead and staff. You are the best.

My hip replacement surgery could not have gone better. I was well prepared prior to surgery and was up and walking in no time. I wish I would have done this a year earlier!

It was great really very little to no uncomfort at all I had no pain pills after I left the hospital three years later I clean my home, play golf get in and out of sand traps bend to pick my ball out of cup, no pain. I thank the stem cell and Dr mead, why not try stem cell???

Very rude staff! They treat some patients horribly. Never coming back.

Dr. Mead did my shoulder surgery which was a success however he has a private surgery center not in network. Staff is rude and trying to pick up office records was torture!

Where are the reviews on rotater cuff surgeries? Mine did not live up to the promises made. Pain was terrible for 3 days after surgery, even with stem cell therapy. Now, after 2 months of physical therapy and 5 months since surgery, I am having pain again. What went wrong?

Scape from the city to the rich experiences of the resort.

Dr Mead preformed Menicus surgery . Little if any pain . Loved the DVD of the surgery !

Dr. Mead did a fantastic job with my total knee replacement w stem cell therapy. 6 weeks out, I have resumed all of my activities with very little discomfort. My scar is as non-existent as it can be. Dr. Mead's staff was professional, helpful , kind and polite. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner, but then I didnt know about Dr. Mead!

Rude and unprofessional staff. Walked out of waiting room and never saw the Doctor. Treated like crap on the phone. Treated even worse in the waiting room.... plenty of other docs that can fix the knee problem here in Florida... without the BS!

Very rude personal. Never going back, ever!

Wonderful experience except for one time when I had to wait way too long

MY new hip is incredible. I was able to walk without using a walker or a cane just 4 days after the operation. I did not need to use more than five or six of the prescribed pain medication after returning home. Doctor Mead did an outstanding job! I cannot be more pleased and I am looking forward to resuming all of my favorite activities absolutely pain free.

I saw Dr. mead for a total knee replacement 1year ago. He was able to explain my condition and talk through step by step so I could understand. Surgery went great and explainations during recovery visits went well. I am very confident and happy with results.

On 3/26/2017 I had a hip replacement with Dr.Mead.. That was an unbelievable experience from start to finish. The compassion and quality of service and care was the best I have ever experienced. They treat their patients like family with compassion and love. My pain is completely gone and I am able to dance once again and wear my high heels!

Two years later, I am back to enjoying my active lifestyle as if there was no hip surgery at all! I have no pain or even reminders. I have a friend that did the anterior surgery, and two years later, she feels pain daily. Dr Mead and his Staff are wonderful!

Dr. Mead has performed two procedures on me, the first being removing scar tissue from a 50 year old shoulder injury that was causing me a lot of pain, and the results of his procedure could not have been better. Just recently he replaced a worn out hip joint for me and I am amazed at how quickly I am recovering. I think Dr. Mead is a terrific surgeon and would unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone.

Had a lot of pain in my left knee for several years. Dr. Mead gave me a choice of knee replacement or the stem cell procedure. We did the stem cell operation the end of January 2017. Followed the rules and in May started to notice quite an improvement. It is now August and there is NO PAIN. I smile every day when going through my daily routine without pain. I certainly made the right choice in my case! Dr Mead and his office staff were very supportive and pleasant to deal with.

It has been one year since my hip has been replaced by Dr. Mead. Since the first time entering his office, his staff has been very cordial and professional. I was immediately impressed with Dr. Mead- the time he spent explaining procedure, follow up, and addressing my concerns. He has a low residual rate, and low infection rate, which was very important to me. I am now back to playing tennis 5 days a week at the age of 78! I would highly recommend Dr. Mead!

After many years of being active-particularly playing tennis-I went to Dr. Mead for knee pain. My cartilage was worn away, with an area of bone on bone. Being fairly young, we did not want to do a knee replacement. I was discouraged about my future mobility and what activity level I could sustain. Dr. Mead suggested stem cell therapy, which was then performed in April. I am 5 months out and cannot believe the change in my knee! Everyday it gets stronger and stronger and I am extremely optimistic about the high level of exercise and activity I will be able to do for years to come. I feel blessed and am so thankful for Dr. Mead!! After many years of being active-particularly playing tennis-I went to Dr. Mead for knee pain.

No concern for patients time. I have been to 3 appointments in Naples office and all of them made me wait for 1.5 to 2 hrs just to get into an exam room and then an additional wait of 20 more minutes to see a PA. Only saw Dr Mead for 10 min. If he only gives 10 min face time -why does it take 2 hrs just to get in an exam room. If you value your time and schedule -DO NOT BECOME A PATIENT OF DR LEON MEAD. Has no respect for his patients time. He never even found what was wrong with my knee!!!

Was a patient of Dr. Mead's a year and a half ago, although I only saw the nurse practitioner. The physical therapy work was very helpful for my knee. I called today to schedule an appointment Because of pain down my right leg. The scheduler informed me that perhaps it's my back and not my knee or hip. Dr. Mead only does knees and hips so I might want to make an appointment elsewhere. I wonder where she got her medical degree?

I am a physical therapist who has worked with Dr. Mead's patients for 20 years now. His patients do exceptionally well after hip and knee replacements, and my entire team of therapists have noticed his stem cell patients doing very well, too. After working in numerous states with many different orthopedic surgeons, I choose to have Dr. Mead replace my knee when the time comes. I've already been a patient several times. His staff is wonderful. His office is so busy with good reason!!!

My Stem cell work on my left knee- 12 months ago-with a bone on bone pain.- it is now pain free and normal. The success was such - I had stem cell work my right knee- severe bone on bone- three months ago. It is is progressing well, based on my experience it took about six months for like new usage . Trick is to follow the rehab instructions to the tee. The Doctor fully explained pros and cons- of replacement verse stem. Anyone- expecting a quick fix- was not paying attention.

Very helpful and and caring staff. Dr Mead sat down and took ample time to answer my questions explaining what was wrong and the treatment plan(s). He goes above the standard for preparation for his surgical patients as well. Felt confident in him and his staff. He continues to be my first recommendation for orthopedics and all my family and friends as well. Yes his office is busy but he will take the time with you to answer questions and make you feel at ease.

Dr Meade performed stem cell surgery for my right knee. After three months the pains were terrible and I could not walk. Dr Meade said that he was sorry. He refused any compensation and said good by. He sees too many patients and has no caring . Patrick Murphy

Have had several appointments with his office most of the time have seen PA or Nurse Practitioner, Dr Mead once only. When I did see Dr Mead no assessment was done very impersonal, talked to me from across the room 10 feet away asked me where it hurt, looked at it from where he was sitting. This last visit that I had with his office was probably the last, waited to see someone for over an hour, to be ushered into exam room to wait again and then for what a 10 minute if that visit.
