On March 7, 2026, I experienced vomiting, severe chest pain, and urinary issues characterized by a strong ammonia odor. A neighbor transported me to a hospital in a neighboring county. It was subsequently diagnosed that I had been suffering from a severe urinary tract infection for approximately one month. The sole positive aspect of Dr. Walsh is his willingness to prescribe controlled substances when necessary for pain and anxiety. I decided to terminate my association with him as my healthcare provider and am grateful that I discontinued the controlled medication he had prescribed for several months. I regard him as an incompetent, uncaring physician. No thank you.

I want to thank Dr. Andrew Fine, neurosurgeon, and the Neurosurgery team…read more My surgery was February 8th, 2024. I had a ruptured disc at C5 & C6, repaired by discectomy and fusion. It's been almost 4 months. I should have written this review earlier, but life happens. Plus, I still am having a hard time believing the pain that I lived with for 15 yrs. is truly gone. No more pain! I feel wonderful! Yes, I am still recovering, bones are healing, but I feel so good that I must remind myself not to push too hard. I spent one night in hospital after surgery. After I left Sarasota Memorial, I took no pain medicines. Only took an occasional at bedtime over the counter Tylenol. For what I would call a little discomfort not pain. I felt great, was able to move around, walk around and even had a good time watching the Super Bowl, days after. After my 3-week visit I was able to drive. After a month, I travelled by jet to visit family. I have walked 23K steps in Washington DC, ridden trains, and taken long bicycle rides again in D.C. Before I picked Dr. Fine, every medical doctor strongly recommended Dr. Fine. My husband and I did the research and agreed he was the BEST NEUROSURGEN for this procedure. Plus, when I met him, I found a very calm, soft spoken, knowledgeable doctor, with great bedside manners. Thank you, Dr. Fine!

My husband was treated by Dr. Dattoli in 2021 for prostrate cancer. His treatment plan consisted…read moreof oral chemotherapy drugs, radiation therapy, and radiation seeds. Dr. Dattoli prescribed twice the recommended dose of the chemotherapy drug. This was found out after the fact. It resulted in my husband getting peripheral neuropathy in both his hands and feet. He now walks with a walker. The radiation treatments resulted in three surgeries and bladder incontinence. Radiation treatments and seeds caused his appendix to atrophy and previous hernia surgery mesh, to become infected. While my husband is cancer free, his life is greatly diminished due to the overkill treatment methods. Dr. Dattoli does indeed have a 100% cure rate, but at what cost to the patient. In hindsight, my husband and I, both wish he would have opted for surgery. We did reach out to Dr. Dattoli, but his response was anything but kind and caring. The bottom line, my husband's health problems had nothing to do with the over abundant treatments rendered by Dr. Dattoli. Just move on we were advised. Please take heed in making your treatment decisions.

Out of all of the Doctors that I visited during my time living in Bradenton/Sarasota, Dr. Okuhara…read morewas by far the best. If I were to ever move to the area again, she would be my first choice. She believes in preventative care and is extremely professional. Her offices are clean and well run, she truly cares about her patients, and she is easy to talk to. Since money was always an issue for me, she went out of her way to give me samples or discount coupons on my prescription medications, when they were available. She also made sure to discuss every aspect of life with me that would affect my health; such as diet, stress, excercise, family history, and overall well being. She has also given me excellent referrals and worked with my insurance companies to make sure that my preventative care is covered. Sometimes her office staff and nurses can be pushy or rude, since she is in a shared office complex with other doctors.

This review is long overdue! Having moved down from NY where I had wonderful doctors, I frankly…read moredidn't expect in my urban snobbery to find anyone who could compete with the type of medical care to which I was accustomed. Hands down, I discovered that Dr. Okuhara excels beyond my several decades of experience in going to doctors. If the criteria include: 1) Professional competence; 2) Time with patient; 3) Diagnostic ability (especially outstanding); 4) Availability; 5) Excellent referrals to top-notch specialists (best experiences with her referrals every time); and 6)) Compassionate billing practices and office procedures, Dr. Okuhara gets 6 stars. cb

As I continued to search…read morefor a doctor that could get to the root cause of my knee pain, I came across Dr. Nixon' profile during my Google search. He seemed to have a positive track record with his patients so I decided to schedule an appointment. And I AM SO GLAD I DID! I have seen over 25 doctors during my health journey and I can confidently rate the experience I had with Dr. NIXON and his staff the number #1 overall doctor visit. He was personalable, listened to my concerns, and quickly assessed what my treatment plan needed to be. I also love that they do everything onsite and dont send you off to other facilities for imaging and injections, it was all done same day during my FIRST visit. Dr. NIXON made me feel at ease throughout the process. His knowledge and bedside manner is EXCELLENT! I finally found a doctor where I felt heard, not rushed or brushed off. He made me feel so much better reassuring me he was going to take care of my knees. I cannot thank him enough for the level of care I received. We need more doctors like him who shows that he truly cares about his patients well-being! THANK YOU DR. NIXON!

I went to two Orthopedic surgeons who both said I needed rotator cuff surgery. A few people (two in the medical field) told me to have Dr. Schofield do my surgery, so I went to him expecting to make a surgical date. He looked at my MRI, did some manual tests on my shoulder movements which were very limited and said that I don't need rotator cuff surgery and that I have a frozen shoulder and to increase my PT. I was shocked and thrilled that I sought a third opinion. My shoulder is getting better with increased intense PT. Sadly, the nerve damage in my shoulder which is affecting the use of my dominant hand might need surgery and Dr. Schofield is helping me find the right surgeon for this unusual surgery as there's no one in Sarasota that does it. Dr. Schofield is kind, soft spoken, explains things well and listens to my questions and concerns. His staff are all very nice, and the only negative is that you can't leave a voice message. If they're answering another call the recording says to call back and then disconnects.

This is going to be a long story, but I hope this could help someone…read more My ankle was broken with a ligament issue, and I was referred to see a specialist. The main office couldn't figure out the referral form from my primary doctor for 3 days, while telling me to call them to send the right paperwork, when I didn't even know what that was. After I told them I'd find another surgeon, they magically sorted it out. (Btw, this doc doesn't know how to use any modern tech. I was at 1st appt for over 4hrs). I got my surgery scheduled with Dr. Bright very soon. I had a plate and screws inserted into my ankle, which took about 2 hours. My main issue with care was that I was not given any pain medication but told to take Tylenol, although I have no history/issue with it. I had to call the next day and plead for medication while crying in pain. Also, I kept falling during my rehab, which my PT reported to the surgeon. His note should've raised a red flag, but my surgeon or office never called. When I went to see him, he briefly looked at my X-ray and my ankle and recommended removal surgery. I ended up getting surgery from a different doctor, and he said that my ligament was torn, and this should've been easily seen from an X-ray when I was injured at the beginning, and this should've been fixed during my first surgery. Why should you have a surgeon who barely listens to you, reads your charts or notes before coming into your room, or checks your updates from PT? I'm still suffering 2 years later after 2 surgeries; this may be permanent. Do not get close there.
