Hi my name is Nancy Muck, and I am logged in on my husband's Google account. I recently visited Sarasota Dental Arts for my first dental visit following a move to Sarasota from New Jersey. I was delighted and pleasantly overwhelmed by the comprehensive exam I received. It was far more thorough than I have ever experienced and well worth the visit. The staff was very friendly and made sure you felt comfortable and as relaxed as possible. I will definitely take their expert advice and look forward to my next visit for further dental care.Wayne Muck

I recently became a patient of Dr. Aygen after receiving very positive recommendations from many of his patients who live in my new neighborhood. He gave me a complete checkup and explained what needed to be done making a specific plan for my dental work.. The doctor was easy to talk with, answered all of my questions, and he made me feel comfortable. The staff I was friendly, kind and informative. The first thing I did when I came home was to contact neighbors thanking them for their having helped me to find the best dentist for me.Carole Weidemiller

All of the staff actually Cares. I feel like that should be the first sentence because its a rarity for the whole office to be compassionate and very much accommodating. Its a drive for me however, it's so worth it. I was squeezed in because of the pain and they took me in so quickly. I'm so thankful for the efficiency as well. Problem was fixed quickly, I felt comfortable enough to ask questions, and the dentist (Dr.Kaya) was so helpful. Thank you to all of the staff. I'll be recommending and coming back!Pride

What a kind, thorough, and helpful group of therapists, and what a well-equipped and pleasant facility. After my knee replacement HOME therapy, I felt quite discouraged. Doing physical therapy at Gulf Shores PT turned everything around for me. I really appreciated the initial intake session, which was friendly yet thorough and professional. Their new facility has a warm, relaxed feel when you enter. The therapists are wonderful people to work with. Tony and Eric both kindly and firmly pushed me out of my comfort zone and into a more ambitious recovery. Although I did not work as much with Jake, I found him to be similar in manner and approach. This was my fourth time going to Gulf Shores Physical Therapy over the past twelve years (two knee replacements, plantar fasciitis, and a hip issue). I returned each time because I’ve found them to be a trustworthy and effective group of therapists.Robin Edidin

Had total reverse shoulder replacement surgery. I was given excellent therapeutic care by every therapist in Gulf Shore. They were very responsive to my personal physical condition at each session. If I was in pain, therapy was adapted to my needs and condition for my session. I have high praise for the thoroughness and skills of everyone at Gulf Shore. I reached a very good level of functionality for the surgery I had. I received encouragement throughout my treatment, including advice for how to maintain my level of functionality and strength and continue to increase my level of performance. I received personal phone calls when I had to miss a session inquiring about my condition and if I needed anything. At the conclusion of my therapy, I was encouraged to reach out to the staff if I had any issues or questions related to my shoulder.Jan Santoro

From my first phone call to my last "discharge" session, my experience was great. Mary, the office manager is efficient, kind and will go out of her way to help you. My eval was with Dr. Jacob and was extremely thorough and he devised a plan to strengthen my knee and help with balance. My PTA, Erik, was so patient and really worked me hard for each lengthy session. He was able to modify as I found things difficult or easy. All of the staff is friendly and it appeared that all clients were comfortable there. I was, for sure. I highly recommend Gulf Shore for any physical therapy needs you may have.Judy Carnavos

3/25/2022 UPDATE: I have since been able to get my communication resolved and began classes. I graduate next week and already have a great job I've started working at. The instructors, Roseanne and Sue have been absolutely fantastic. They have so much knowledge and teach the technical in such a real life way so you really get a grasp on it. They're always willing to answer questions and help you. I totally feel ready to take the state exam for my license. This has been the best experience. I'm excited to be starting my new career! 😁 ————-‐————————————————- I have not had a good experience. 12/15 Signed up for class on 1/10 12/16 Attended workshop 12/17 Received call to discuss program 12/17 Received email for interview with sponsor for 12/22 12/22 Text from Premier ‐ interview cancelled and looking for another sponser 1/4 Got a text saying No updates and asked when was a good time to call me. I replied. 1/8 Have never received a call back. I have tried to reach out by many means and can never reach anyone or get a call back. Lost faith in the program before ever starting.Kellie H

Don’t go here there just going to waste your time I tried getting into this program in 2020 and I got as far as to attending my interview with the employer that would hire me after the interview my interviewer said she’d contact the school back that I attended but I never received a call or email from premier nursing I tried this year again to get into this program and they lack communication they won’t answer phone calls the only time you can actually reach someone is if you attend their webinars and they still lack communication sometimes they don’t even call you to do the screening or wait till the next day after failing trying again this year they finally texted me after several emails claiming that I never went to my interview and that I live to far to go to either location they say they want people who fit the position but they have someone eager that after them failing her the first time I still tried don’t waste your time they don’t care and won’t reach out to youangela leyva

I had a phone call interview on 3/31 and passed. Then, I was called for an interview at a hospital and they did not know it was cancelled and I went all the way for nothing. After that, they said this stuff never happens and apologized. Months later, I don’t hear back. I go to the Premier Nursing Academy in person to see what’s up. I finally get a text saying I was never guaranteed a spot. I wasted all my time emailing, calling and traveling for nothing. I was supposed to start classes May 16th but I guess I won’t be… Edit: I won’t be. I don’t want to waste another single second making an effort to get in either.Nur

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIVERSITY!!!! Positive reviews come from admissions counselors at SOUTH UNIVERSITY. BEWARE!!!!! I had a really bad experience at South University and yes I would agree with the statements about them being all about the money. I was told my transfer credits were approved, BUT once I was enrolled—signed all documents—then they told me that I had to retake more classes $$$ (again, after being “approved”). Tuition is ridiculous, I was charged well over $4,000 for 2 classes. Now they won’t even release my transcripts until I pay off this amount. BE CAREFUL!!!! The institution is disorganized, and I got mixed information from different people. I never knew who was in charge of anything…. It all seems smooth and nice until you sign up. BTW I received both As in my classes, this is an honest review based on my experience and it doesn’t come from “someone who’s not doing what they are supposed to”Santiago Cardona

I am an alumni of South University and I only experienced a great experience. I see people posting reviews that the school only cares about your money, which is not correct. There is a student academic progress process in which the students who are not doing well academically will be given the opportunity to improve their grades. If they do not, they will be academically dismissed from the school. The professors care about the students success and help in any way that they can. I highly recommend South University. The tuition if not cheap, but if you are looking for small classes, individualized attention and success…South University is the school for you. I feel that some people on this forum were not doing what they needed to do to be successful and they should own up to it, not blame the school.Kamisha Vanarsdale

The admissions team was amazing when I got there (of course I had an appointment) the wait wasn't long at all. The next day I went to see the financial aid, which didn't take much longer then any other college that I had gone to. The teachers are really nice and help you when you need any help with assignments. The tuition is pretty high but it is a private school that helps when you ask for what you need in a polite manner. Though I am upset that I can not rollover all of my previous credit from the last college that was closed down, I'm still happy that they have taken what they could! All around great staff and great schoolBrittney Furtado

If I could give more than 5 starts I would. As a young female trying to find good health providers, Dr Childers office at Waterside Dental, exceeded my expectations. When I first walked in the environment was very calm and welcoming. I came in for a consultation to have my wisdom teeth extracted where I received X-rays and a full consultation. The entire team was extremely professional and accommodating also personable. Dr Childers assured me I would be a good candidate to undergo extractions with just numbing solution, and I’m glad I decided to go that route. He and his assistant made me feel very comfortable the entire time and he preformed an EXCELLENT job removing the teeth QUICKLY and PAINLESSLY. I will certainly be continuing my dental services with him and his team as their office is a great fit for me and anyone who is looking for a reliable dental office.Mia Rodriguez

I've been a patient at Waterside Dental for 18 months, each visit I'm welcomed by a cheerful staff, seen almost immediately, then treated as if I was VIP patient throughout the entire visit! All the equipment, furnishings, chairs, even the ceiling sparkles with cleanliness. Tracy my hygienist, has provided me with quality care, she has been wonderful in making sure I'm comfortable, asks if I have any issues, keeps me relaxed and informed throughout the time I'm in her care. Tracy is a true expert in her field, knowledgeable, & professional in every way. From what I've seen the entire office follows suit with appointments, insurance and billing. Waterside Dental deserves a 5 Star Recommendation.Jackie Gray

I have been going to Waterside Dental for three years and the whole staff has continuously been patient, sincere and helpful. But yesterday they all turned that up to help me and I everyone should know how GRATEFUL I am and AWESOME that whole team is. And the Doc is RIGHT and even through he should sometimes isn't a salesman he is just a GREAT Doc!! MANY THANKS Waterside Dental Team!!! No person will be making the wrong choice going to this team for any of your dental needs!!Gwen Hopkins

Was previously a customer at Partners, it was several years ago. Called to book an appointment, they had my information in their system, including insurance. Refused to book an appointment unless I provided an updated Medicaid number.. offered to bring info with me to the appointment in as much as the Blue Cross info was current. The lady on the phone was rude, controlling and very snotty. Told me that there was NO WAY she would book an appointment unless I called back with my Medicaid number even though all my other information was in their system and accurate. I took my business elsewhere. Who needs a rude desk clerk when you are the customer and they want YOUR Money. There are 15 MRI outfits within 20 mins of Sarasota so you have choices.Edward Terrill

I was so upset because I was late for my appt. Unfortunately, it took me twice as long to get there due to school traffic. I was told that I had to reschedule. I pleaded with the staff to help me as I have my second brain tumor and am suffering and scared. The staff was very kind and went out of their way to help fit me in the same day. I will never forget their kindness and support during this difficult time. Thank you so much again! God bless you for your care and kindness.Nancy Krasley Groff

Excellent Customer Service and Patient Care ! Great experience starting from the initial appointment setting through the final checkout process. Kali was my ultrasound tech. She was completely thorough and professional. Kali is a pleasant welcome and positive addition to Partners Imaging Centers. My family and I have trusted Partners Imaging Centers for “all” of our imaging needs. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of the services they offer.Jeannie

I had been nursing a badly infected ingrown toenail for over 2 weeks, then went to Urgent Care to see what they could do. They put me on a 7-day course of antibiotics and recommended that I see a podiatrist. Since I belong to the IMG physicians’ group, I looked for an appointment with one of theirs. An appointment was set for one week later. Perfect timing!! That was my last day of taking the antibiotic and Dr. Dreyer couldn’t be happier. This young man certainly knows what he’s doing! Numbed my foot, then numbed the toe, then proceeded to remove the ingrown edge of the nail and used an acid treatment to make sure that portion of my nail never grows back again. Never felt any of it. Had a couple of days of minor throbbing but, after that, all the pain I had been having was gone. Although my toe looked a bit ugly from the acid treatment, in three weeks it was totally healed. I would voluntarily go back to see Dr. Dreyer for any foot problems I may have in the future. He’s MY podiatrist from now on!N. Karam

After developing an infection in my right foot that became severe quickly, I called Dr. Dreyer’s office. They were able to see me that same day. Dr. Dreyer assessed my wound and called for a culture as well as an x-ray of the area. It was very convenient to have both a lab and x- ray services available at the Intercoastal site. I really appreciated the doctor’s thorough treatment of my wound and his kind and caring demeanor. He also took extra time to research and recommend supplements for another issue I was having with both of my feet. After many weekly visits, my foot has finally healed. I highly recommend Dr. Dreyer, his nursing staff, and the office of Intercoastal for quality treatment and care! Thank you Dr. Dreyer for service to our country,Marcy Davidson

Dr. Dreyer is a wonderful personable and very helpful foot doctor. I can to him because I wanted a second opinion as another Doc had said I might need surgery. Dr. Dreyer and I shared a desire to avoid surgery and do a more conservative treatment to relieve pain and get me walking again. He gave me a cortisone shot and within 3 days I was back on my feet. He also advised me on good shoes for my problem. I bought them and have been much better over this last month. I would be happy to refer Dr. Dreyer to anyone and everyone. Excellent experience!Maria Aguiar

I was referred to Dr. Middleton for my wisdom tooth removal, after avoiding it for a while. My consult with him was great. His office was super clean, high tech, and I was really impressed off the bat. They took very thorough X-rays and scans of my teeth, similar to an MRI, and he went through them with me and gave me the worst possible scenarios so I could be prepared. I’ve had a lot of restorative work done, as well as a crown and root canal right next to the wisdom teeth, but he wasn’t concerned at all and said he could work around them. I was given a high estimate for those worst case scenarios as well, but my final bill actually ended up being only a third of that. I’m a terrible patient, I know this about myself. I hyperventilate and cry any time I get anything more invasive than a cleaning. The nurse, Sandra, was very understanding and put up with my hysterics really well. They also accommodated my weird hang up on people touching my elbow/crook of my arm and put the IV into my hand instead. It was completely painless, I woke up and didn’t remember a thing. They were super thorough on discharge info, and sent me home with everything I would need. I can’t thank everyone there enough for putting up with my drama and anxiety. Hopefully I never have to see them again, but if I need surgery I would definitely choose them!Kat S.

I have been to Dr. Middleton several times over the years, starting in 2016. I had my latest experience on April 14, 2022 and am pleased to say that Dr. Middleton and all of his personnel are still the epitome of professionalism, courteousness and friendliness. From registering and continuing through dental procedures and checking out I have always been very well informed about the procedure, cost and expectations. I would recommend this practice to anyone needing special dental work. I have been a patient of Dr. Middleton for many years. Every visit is always pleasant. The support staff is always welcoming, friendly and efficient. Dr. Middleton is the epitome of professionalism, competence and informative as well as personable and friendly. I HIGHLY recommend this practice to anyone in the Sarasota/Bradenton metro area.Larry Keefe

Best experience. My daughter was referred to Dr. Middleton for a consultation by her dentist and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From the front desk to Dr. Middleton himself, everyone was friendly, kind, and professional. Dr. Middleton didn’t just explain things to me but also to my daughter (11) who is the one who requires the surgery. I thought it was great he included her in the conversation and helped ease her concerns. She’s scheduled for surgery in May and isn’t even nervous. I appreciated his professional opinion and his honesty. 10/10 recommend and we won’t be going to any other oral surgeon ever. This is definitely the place we will go anytime it’s needed. (Which hopefully won’t be much 😅)Brianna Delgado

The facility is very busy but the staff tries to fill the time when their are full rooms by doing X-rays proactively so not to back up Physicians even more by tying up rooms. The doctor listened, was very pleasant and was empathic to my pain. Received cortisone shots, which surprisingly didn’t hurt as much as one’s done previously at another practice. I would recommend the doctor for any shoulder issue.Rose Weber

Dr Moustoukas and his attentive staff provide excellent information and support. They are thorough and have always provided timely and appropriate curative care. I have had two separate surgeries with Dr. Moustoukas and I am pleased to have no further issues or pain. I highly recommend his practice.Dana Narring

Very informative, caring, knowledgeable. Explained my situation fully in terms that I could understand. Reviewed my X-rays and MRI fully and explained to me and I trust his care. More than satisfied with Dr. MOUSTOUKAS thanks to my family physician, Dr. John Meyer, for referring me to him.👍🏻Rita Daines

This is by far the best dental academy in the Tampa Bay Area. Let me just start out by saying a big thank you to my instructors Teresa and Bobbi for teaching me and guiding me on the right path to become the best dental assistant I can be. If you are looking for a fun, caring and educational School, this is where you should be! The School revolves around its students. There is so much passion that goes into the way these teachers teach. The teachers are always willing to help in any area you may be having trouble with. Academy for dental assisting is always there for you through your whole process of becoming an EFDA. The curriculum is developed in the best way possible to help you as a student gain the education and proper training you will need to become an EFDA. The director of the academy Ronda, is wonderful as well. She makes an appoint to drop into the class without disruption to say “hi”, answer any of our questions and make us feel welcomed. I am highly satisfied with academy for dental assisting. If you’re considering going to school to become a DA, honestly look no further because you’re right where you were meant to be!Belinda Yohn

I’ve been a dental assistant for 33 years. I moved to Florida from Ohio and needed to get the Florida EFDA and X-ray certifications. I was so nervous to take the tests but I didn’t need to be. The instructor ( thank you Theresa!! ) and office manager ( Thank you Brooke) were so nice and funny and helpful. Once I entered the classroom Theresa had us relaxed and laughing. She took the time to get to know each of us. The class size was small so all of us girls were able to feel comfortable working with everyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. By far this is the best dental school I’ve ever been to and would highly recommend anyone take their classes or certification courses.Kasey Dreaden

This is the best school ever. They care so much about you and try all the possibles ways, so you can get the lesson and what they are trying to teach. My instructors Ms. Kathy and Ms. P. Jai are beyond any expectations about what a good instructor looks like. The care so much about the students and the way they teach is 100% understandable. I am going to miss them so much… I really enjoy my time there and I would recommend it 100% and beyond. If you are thinking to take this school as your, don’t have any doubts about it is the best decision ever. Take the Saturday class and the success is 100% warranty.Evelyn Dopico

Our daughter Kristin is autistic and has a fear of medical practitioners in general . Every visit to the daughter has to be carefully planned and coached that we may avoid a major meltdown. The staff at Lifetime Smiles was very compassionate and sympathetic to our daughters needs. Taylor, worked with Kristin to help get her panographic xray which, although unsuccessful, did get some images. Dr. Donato is a very caring and kind doctor who went over all of the options with us. We will going the route of sedation dentistry and Christopher, the office manager worked with us on securing the proper paperwork and information that we will need. We want to thank the wonderful staff of Lifetime Smiles for being so kind to us.Mason Whidden

I was on vacation when tragedy struck and I suddenly had immense mouth pain. I called around looking for help and Lifetime Smiles was one of few places open on a Friday. They were booked but somehow managed to squeeze me in. I cannot express how grateful I am for their accommodation to see me. Their staff was incredible and so kind and helpful. Dr. B saw me and discovered I had an infection and got me started on antibiotics. Because I was leaving the following day, he did his best to help me with my pain management to get me through until I got home to have my dentist treat me. Top notch dental care but their kindness and helpfulness will always be remembered. Thank you so much!!Mindy Starson

The most caring amazing dental staff I have ever come across. They made me feel so calm comfortable and not dreading seeing the dentist. The ladies all of them were just unbelievably knowledgeably about my dental insurance and explain to me what treatment I needed and answered all my questions.Dr.Brandscombe was gentle patient and catered to my phobias. I would definitely recommend this OFFICE if you want to be treated like family A. Plus staff and the ladies at the front desk were great at getting me a new patient appointment so quickly This is a 5 star. OFFICEDavid Sprouse Sprouse

I would like to share the wonderful experience I have had with Back in Motion with anyone looking for the BEST PT I've ever had. And Ive been to multiple PT's from Maine, to ( 3 ) in Ohio, NC and ( 3 ) in Sarasota. I've had multiple orthopedic surgeries over the past 25 years so I think I know a little bit about what makes a great PT. BACK IN MOTION is the total package. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by Rosie who is awesome and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I worked extensively with Tim, the owner and was amazed at his knowledge and eagerness to help me get better from a Whip lash accident. I had wasted (4) months at another PT in Sarasota and was desperate when I came to Back in Motion. Tim wrote treatment plans for me and when something didn't work, moved onto something that did. He LISTENED to what I was saying and through his knowledge and patience, I finally found the relief I needed with one of his PT"s, Carole, who is dedicated to doing everything within her power to make you feel better. Using several different PT techniques in each session, I finally got the relief I needed. I have never met such a dedicated owner or staff. The private rooms, gym, and reception area are very clean…..that's important to me. Everyone is friendly and helpful. And when you check out, Shannon helps you with your follow-up appointment with a smile and all the patience in the world. These people care, really care, and I would highly recommend BACK IN MOTION to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring care.Jo Woodworth

Back in Motion Sarasota was recommended by my Orthopaedic Surgeon. I can’t say enough great things about the people that work here. I went to Physical Therapy here for 5 months due to a knee issue. The front desk staff was very professional and polite. Whenever I came in, I felt like I was part of their family. The Physical Therapists are absolutely amazing, knowledgeable and give you the best care possible (I mainly worked with Peter). Though I will not miss the monster walks and agility ladder, I will miss seeing the wonderful people here. Thank you all so much for helping me recover!Karen Kendzierski

I gave 5 stars, and if possible would be given a ten!!! So the physical therapists. I've worked with a few, mostly V and Pete. They were great at helping me recover after a spinal fusion! The techniques and excersises were tough at first, but their guidance was great. The front desk staff is also wonderful, Rosie is always super helpful, and efficient!! I recently took a fall, and Shannon also part of reception staff, personally called me to see how I was 💜 The whole staff goes the extra mile! I can't recommend a better Physical TherapistTracy Romano

I would like to start by saying that I began my education with USF which was great for the college experience. Ultimately I chose South University because of the accreditation, better fit with my hectic life and because my coworkers at the hospital suggested it as a reputable place to pursue my Masters in Nursing. I enrolled with the online school first thinking that was the answer but I was not happy at all with the lack of customer service trying to get in touch with people was very difficult and I believe that the online courses do not prepare you for the in depth nature of what you need to know as a nurse practitioner. I took some time off before eventually giving the Tampa campus program a shot which was the best decision for me. Customer service overall was excellent, the classes are only one day a week so it still fit my schedule and the professor interaction was what I needed to feel like I was actually learning something. I also was very impressed at how accessible the school administrators and the director of the program are. It is not to say that there won't be bumps along the road but I couldn't have made a better decision for my life and my education.Vincent Papolo

I have been attending the Tampa location and It has changed my life in a positive way. This it the first nursing program that I have found here in the south where most of the administration including program directors are African American. That means a great deal to me because I aspire to equal success in life. I also have been exposed to the best encouragement that I have ever witnessed during my entire scholastic journey. I am looking forward to continuing my education including post graduate degree at this institution. I would have never had the drive to continue forward at this institution if it was not for the exceptional staff that are always readily available to help guide you through your experience. Though the use of encouragement and a myriad of resources to aid in your success through your program, you can rest assured that your investment in your education here at South University would be worth the sacrifices and monies spent.j k

School rating: 1/5 They are very money oriented and not very helpful. They have a tendency to make things up to get you to sign up. The program is super expensive. They kicked me out because my GPA dropped bellow 2.5. OT Program rating 0/5 I was attending the Occupational Therapy program and had a very bad experience. Five students out of sixteen made it to the last semester, which was above average. All you will be required to do is learn how to write papers. If your GPA drops bellow 2.5 you will be kicked out. The worst professor by far is Kevin Bobos 0/5. He brags about never giving a student a good grade. He is the least educated of all professors and seem to suffer from inferiority complex. By making you feel small he makes himself feel great.John X

A patient always has a choice in declining a medical treatment. This “dr” abruptly stopped a medication that is the only thing that helps for my muscle spasms. Without knowing what type of metal I have in my back, he ordered an MRI and told me I had no choice but to get his nerve blocking injection without even knowing what my spine and condition truly was. When he told me I must have the injection, I pointed out that the paperwork I signed said I would CONSIDER treatment modalities. As a healthcare professional myself I found his mannerism disgusting and despicable. To have a physician disregard my intelligence and my body autonomy is beyond words. Funny enough when I went to get the imaging done, I had a good conversation with the medical staff about how unprofessional and horrible the Ramos clinic is. Needless to say I won’t be letting the Ramos clinic anywhere NEAR my back nor would I trust Ramos to do any injections on me or anyone I love. Be advised. *Update: After picking up a copy of my imaging results I’m not surprised to find that Ramos was wrong about there being any disc compression causing the pain in my back. He would’ve done an injection anyways. Gross.Amanda's Quest

I was referred from Bay Pines VA Hospital to receive treatment for my lower back pain. I thought that since this was a community care appointment that I would receive better treatment, rather than going to the VA Hospital in St. Petersburg. The Ramos Center in Bradenton is the most horrible medical treatment I have ever received. The only time I received a phone call was to remind me of my appointment. I never received any follow up calls and even after I followed up myself, I still never received a follow up call for treatment. I had an MRI done last Friday and I didn't even receive a call for the results. And, I also never received a phone call after having an outpatient procedure done on April 19, 2022. I also left a message for the office manager to follow-up on my complaint and I never received a call from her. I can see that my medical care needs are not being handled from the Ramos Center in Bradenton and I will have to call the Community Care department to see if they can send me somewhere else, because my medical treatment is below satisfactory.L. Annette McNeil

When I saw Dr Daura I felt great! But a lady called and asked if I could see a nurse, I said yes thinking it was only for that month. I have seen Pain management since 2004 all with the same diagnoses mylofasiol in my glut arthritis in my hip. Given epidurals. The nurse I started seeing Chad Henderson said it was my SI joint and started injections there. It help the area but my feet got worse. I used to wear a 8.5 regular now a 9.5 double wide. And started getting blisters so bad I needed medical attention for them. I didn’t realize you could blister under the toe nail. I suffer from burning feet and back numbness. I have tarlov cysts on my SI. So I switched to Debbie and she never put any of it in my records!! I asked her assistant how can Dr Daura help me if she doesn’t put it in my records. I spend 70% of my time in bed with a ice pack. And don’t get me started on the fraudulent paperwork. Morgan& Morgan here I comesavay1960

Let me start by saying Thank you Dr. Yunis! I drove from TN to Sarasota to have the no mesh shouldice repair on my inguinal hernia. This is my first ever major surgery and I was a bit concerned about pain and the whole process of having surgery. Dr Yunis and his staff really did a fantastic job on taking care of me and fixing the hernia with minimal pain. The day after surgery I enjoyed going to the beach with my wife and going out to eat as well. DR. Yunis really knows what he is doing. I highly recommend him and his staff to fix any hernia issues you may face in life. He is the best! Thank you Dr. Yunis!G&A Mcghee

Dr. Yunis is simply the best hernia repair specialist on the west coast of Florida and I am very grateful to have benefitted from his vast experience and surgical skills. He tailors his technique based on how each individual case presents and fortunately for his patients he's more experienced than nearly all of his peers. I am in the health care profession myself and can recognize a surgical specialist who you can trust both in terms of success rate as well as integrity. Thank you Dr. Yunis for repairing my large inguinal hernia and restoring my life back to pain-free normalcy! KLRio Hope

I was looking for a doctor to treat a hiatial hernia. I live in Fort Myers and had a consult with one sugeon that recommended an open surgical procedure. I spent many hours researching doctors in the area. From my search on the internet I was directed to Dr. Yunis. I called his office and was told he did not treat hiatial hernias. I must have been on speaker phone when an MD walked by and said have her call Dr. Paul Vesco. Divine intervention!! A skilled surgeon that saved my life.Thank you so much for the referral!MaryJo Haughey

Wonderful experience from receptionist to Dr Lauren. Professional and friendly. I had an allergic reaction to Sunbum lip sunscreen. They got me in right away and prescribed a solution. I am on the mend and so thankful they fit me in for a same day appt. They also carry Zo Skin care that I use at home. This will be the dermatologist I go to whenever I am in Florida.Jeanette Ladina

Wonderful experience from ease of filling out patient forms electronically, essentially no waiting, very pleasant & accommodating staff as well as talented PA Lauren Helme. She did 2 procedures on me & was extremely skilled. I didn’t feel a thing & she puts you at ease with her confidence & calm demeanor. I would highly recommend this office.Rita Altman

Today I saw Jess for a chemical peel! This was my second visit with her. She is so personable and I left there feeling amazing! Megan at the front desk is perfect to to be the first to see. Always friendly, personable & very helpful! I also see Lauren in this office who is great tooBernadette Finlay

I was losing hope. I was looking at surgery yet again because it seemed like nothing else was working. The epidermal shots didn't work for me and all I felt was pain. I was thinking that I had to just live with the pain and I was going to give up. Until I heard of Synergy Medical. They helped me more than any other facility I had been too. They work with you from the second you walk through the door. Dr. Lewis was very welcoming and personable! He does the chiropractic side and gives adjustments. While Dr. Magistri is very understanding and knowledgeable about the pain you might be feeling and she does injections for trigger points and B12. With those two there you will go home feeling like your finally getting the treatment you needed and always wanted! But that's not all! They do laser and decompression for pain relief as well as their own physical therapy! Synergy Medical has everything you need to finally feel better. They have extra staff to help you with just about anything and they are so welcoming. You can tell they want you to get better. If your like me and at one point you've given up and the pain is just excruciating, I want you to go to Synergy Medical! You will not regret it! Today I finished my entire therapy, I went from barley being able to walk to no pain at all. You'll see the results and you'll feel so much better when your done! I'm so glad I went here!Mariah Maley

I have been seeing Dr. Lewis now for a year and a half. When I first came to him I had major neck pain and headaches. It hurt to bend over to put on my shoes. It was painful to pick up anything slightly heavy or to lean down or reach up to get something off a shelf. Dr. Lewis performed a comprehensive examination, including x-rays, something which had not been done in seven years, even though I was getting regular adjustments from another chiropractor out of state. He developed a program of decompression for my neck, performed neck and spinal adjustments, and determined exercises to help strengthen my neck and spine. Sunny, the exercise physiologist, was also conscientious and very attentive in helping me perform my exercises correctly and consistently, as well as performing manual therapy which worked wonders. After two months of adjustments and therapy I now only return for monthly maintenance. I am free of pain and my energy level has also greatly increased. The entire staff at Synergy Medical is wonderful to work with. The front desk reception always remembers me and greets me with a smile. They are very professional, caring, and comfortable to interact with. I highly recommend Synergy Medical to meet your chiropractic needs. Thanks so much, Synergy Medical.Lin Butler

Absolutely love this place and the staff. I started here after having chronic migraines for 2 years. I have a neurologist, I’ve done MRI’s and I finally realized one of my triggers is neck pain. I’ve been medicated for two years for migraines and still had them weekly. I’m a mom of 3 (6,4 and 6 months)this was effecting my life. After 4 visits to the office for physical therapy and adjustments, I am finally going weeks without headaches and also not having neck pain as much anymore. They have me on a treatment plan so I am not yet finished but I am so thankful my husband (who came here for lower back pain and loved this place) told me to come here as well. I can’t say one bad thing about this office and the staff. Honestly, hands down, best decision I have made.jessica osuna cotto

I am so glad that after my shoulder surgery, I chose Eugene to work on it. I honestly could not be happier with the whole experience. First of all, therapy is one-on-one the entire time you work with him, and he develops an individualized approach and plan taking into consideration my goals and preferences. He is knowledgeable, professional, and always takes the time to explain what he was doing and answer any questions I had. He guided me through my exercises and knew when he needed to change things to make them more effective. After about 4 weeks, I am feeling so much better than when I started, and am able to do everything I need to do pain-free. After my shoulder surgery, I went to Eugene for therapy and he completely restore it. When I needed a therapy on my hip, I knew that Eugene is the best therapist for the job. Two month ago, I had a pain in my right hip and now I am living pain free. Eugene provides excellent, effective treatment while making you feel comfortable with each session. I would highly recommend Modern Movement physical therapy to my family and friends.Ella Tkach

I recently had total knee replacement surgery and now was in need of the crucial physical therapy (PT) for the next month. I was lucky enough to have Eugene Barshay PT of Modern Movement Physical Therapy recommended to me by the hospital PT. From the first day Eugene took great care in giving me one-on-One PT for my new knee in his beautiful, immaculate suite. His methods make it easy to realize that he was addressing the precise leg muscles that needed restoration. In each visit he patiently puts you through the paces giving his full attention to your well being with a comprehensive set of stretches and exercises. His clear explanations of how and why you need certain exercises inspire you to do your best. Eugene’s sincere efforts to improve your physical condition is evident throughout the session and most importantly, it really works. My knee actually feels better after each visit. I highly recommend him.David Brieff

I highly recommend Modern Movement Physical Therapy. The owner and doctor of physical therapy Eugene Barshay is outstandingly professional and extremely knowledgeable. He is currently treating my shoulder and I am feeling so much better in just a few weeks. He is very focused on long-term healing. Eugene's main concern is that you are healing comfortably over time, with that, he is patient, positive and explains the reason for everything that he is doing. Eugene strives to understand your level of pain and tolerance for therapy to get you moving again. He is able to do this because the therapy session is a dedicated one-on-one session and is impactful. The session is not the one-size-fits-all physical therapy session that you might have experienced in the past. Also, the treatment space is modern, bright and very clean, which is important to consider with Covid-19. Therefore, the overall session is very pleasant.Rose Hoffmann

Dr. Hamwi and his staff at Florida Plastic Surgery are simply the best. Words can't adequately express the quality of great care I received. From the very first time I walked into the office with the initial consultant I knew I was going to be in great hands. I was first greeted with smiles and kindness by the front office staff. Dr. Hamwi took his time to explain the procedure and answer any questions I had. For years I have wanted and needed a breast reduction, but was scared to have anything done. The scheduling of surgery and preop was handled so easily by his office manager, Scarlett, who was also available for any questions. The day of surgery Dr. Hamwi made me feel so at ease that I knew all would be well and I made a great choice. Not only is he an excellent, knowledgeable, and skilled surgeon, but he is also caring, compassionate, and kind-hearted. He goes over and beyond for his patients, which is a rare find in this day and age. The follow-up care at the office with Dr. Hamwi and his PA, Sia, was also amazing. They always took their time at each visit and again answered any questions I had. I never felt rushed. I can tell they love what they do and am so thankful they are using their gifts and talents to help others like myself. I highly recommend this office if you are looking for the top quality care. I am so happy I finally had this done. It has already greatly improved my life and has only been a few months. Thank you for everything Dr. Hamwi and staff!! You truly are the best!Beverly Heer

I don’t know what happened or when it happened but one day I realized that my upper arms had become fat and extremely flabby. I mean ugly and embarrassing. No cute, short sleeves for me – even after moving to Florida! But then I found Dr. Hamwi, who took my big ugly arms and turned them into pretty little things that look SO good. The entire procedure was much easier than I thought – and I was awake! Dr. Hamwi performed liposuction and then removed the excess tissue (and I mean excess!). I had regular follow-ups/check-ins to make sure all was as expected and each time I walked in I was greeted and treated like a long-time friend. Although Dr. Hamwi made himself available before and after the surgery, and I knew I could contact him, his PA, Sia, also a very valuable part of the surgical team, was my go-to person for questions and concerns. She is smart, helpful and made me feel very much at ease. Dr. Hamwi is an extremely talented, compassionate and kind physician and surgeon. One of those doctors you are lucky to have found, not just because of his skills but because of who he is. I am so happy I found Dr. Hamwi and his wonderful team! I’m sure I’ll be back!cynthia bass

I did a lot of research, many many months of research . For me it was not only important to find a Dr. with the right credentials but also a Dr that was compassionate and caring, someone that cared about the patient and the entire experience .And of course the results . Dr Hamwi exceeded all my expectations, he is a truly nice person and an outstanding doctor. I read a lot of reviews that said he was a perfectionist and I 100% agree. He will listen to you, he will give you his professional advise and he will make sure you are happy with the results . I believe he loves what he does and is not just about the money . All those attributes are what you want in a Dr for these type of procedures . I can’t really speak highly enough about him and my experience .Thank you Dr. Hamwi and thank you to the entire staff because it does take a village and they all deserve praises for being so wonderful throughout the entire process. Danaisa has been so wonderful and attentive and continues to check on me and answer my never ending questions.Marjorie Blandino
