On May 15, 2017 I was diagnosed via an ultrasound with a 7.3CM aortic aneurysm. My initial reaction was panic. I was fortunate to have had an appointment scheduled for me by my primary care physician with Dr. Kazil on the following day, May 16. During the initial meeting with Dr. Kazil, she was very patient with me and while acknowledging the seriousness of my condition, outlined for me the pros and cons of my condition from a surgical standpoint, maintaining throughout our discussion that she was quite confident she would be able to repair the aneurysm by inserting a stent through my groin instead of a more invasive open chest procedure. In order to further confirm her plan of action for me, she requested a cardiac evaluation to ensure that she would be able to proceed on her preferred course of treatment. Considering this was a first visit, Dr. Kazil gave me a feeling of confidence going forward with her recommended treatment and by the time our visit was concluded, her office had contacted my primary care physician to schedule the cardiac evaluation and scheduled the stent procedure at Blake Medical Center for May 31. Very efficient and a great "bedside" demeanor from Dr. Kazil. This was not a 10-15 minute in and out visit to keep on her appointed schedule. Dr. Kazil spent as much time with me as was necessary to outline the issues, answer my questions satisfactorily and confidently propose the medical solution to my problem. Procedure was performed on May 31 at Blake. Everything went as planned and after an evening at Blake Medical Center I was discharged on June 1. Had my follow up with Dr. Kazil on June 13 during which she examined the incision area, and prescribed further tests and exams to ensure that the stent is holding in place. No restrictions and I'm good to go! Many thanks to Dr. Kazil and her staff for exemplary care in treating my aneurysm. read more

My husband was referred to Dr. Kazil by his cardiologist, as he has multiple severe vascular issues. We had never met Dr. Kazil, but I work at Blake Medical Center, where Dr. Kazil enjoys a stellar reputation among her colleagues. That put me at ease right away. At our first visit, it was obvious that she researched my husband's records and was familiar with his history and medical issues, which I appreciated greatly. When we were in the exam room, she made my husband feel like he was the only patient she had that day, although the waiting room was full. She took time to examine him, present all the options and give her opinion of best outcome. We decided to go ahead with the most severe problem that needed vascular surgery, and Dr. Kazil operated on him. The operation was a success, and he is now feeling much better. He had to stay in the hospital overnight, and Dr. Kazil checked in with the nursing station at least twice that I know of. She is an excellent technician, and the surgery went very well. It was clear how very concerned she was about my husband's health and welfare. I am convinced that Dr. Kazil is committed to her patients 100% and wants only the best outcome possible. My husband may or may not face more vascular surgery, but if he does, we will seek her advice and with full confidence, go ahead with whatever she recommends. My husband has had many medical issues, and I have been in healthcare for over 25 years, and Dr. Kazil is one of the most caring, down-to-earth and proficient doctors we have met. Thank you so much, Dr. Kazil! read more

I came to see Dr. Kazil this past week for truly awful hemorrhoids and the pain they cause. First of all thank you to the staff who are both incredibly professional and caring. Truly they reflect so well on you and your nursing staff. You came up with a potential non surgical solution as due to other factors I am not a good surgical candidate. The treatment appears to be helping but even if it hadn't your knowledge, expertise and wonderful bedside manner can't be overstated. A huge shoutout to your nurse as well as she presented with all of those same attributes that you possess. For those reading this post let me assure you I have had several very complex and serious health challenges and I have worked in health care as a patient advocate. I have seen some of the best physicians in the country at places like John's Hopkins, George Washington Hospital, D.C and the National Institute of Health. Dr. Kazil is among the very finest I have ever seen, we are very fortunate to have her and her staff here on the west coast of Florida. read more

I needed a Cholecystectomy (gall bladder surgery) and was in pain for several months. Went to see 3 or 4 other surgeons before finding Dr. Kazil. Never really felt comfortable with the others plus was worried about Covid and so kept putting it off. Dr. Kazil was not like the others. From the moment I walked in her office, I felt something different. I was immediately welcomed by her friendly staff and every time I either spoke to anyone via phone or in person, it was always in a most professional and courteous way. Dr. Kazil was so kind and took time to explain the surgery in great detail. She also calmed my Covid fears. I finally felt comfortable and felt like I was in good hands. Dr. Kazil's knowledge is amazing and her bedside manner even more amazing. You don't feel like you're just a number with Dr. Kazil and her staff. They're very caring, accommodating and professional. I would recommend Dr. Kazil to anyone considering surgery. Thank you a thousand times over. read more

Dr. Kazil saw my brother for possible surgery due to years of Type 1 Diabetes. I was driving up to see him, when she called me. Since I was enroute, she suggested I stop by her office to discuss his case in detail. She had a full schedule yet made time to see me, and did not "rush" thru our meeting. She was concerned with Paul's overall health; he truly was not a good candidate for surgery. She asked if anyone had suggested hospice. No, but we were receptive. She texted his dr to put in a hospice consult. He was admitted to hospice care. While in hospice awaiting a nursing home bed, he declined VERY quickly and passed. If not for Dr Kazil's compassion and honesty, he would have died alone, in a hospital bed...if he lived thru surgery. She could have done the surgery and taken the money. Her dedication to doing what's best for the INDIVIDUAL gave us time to spend with my brother. Time to say I love you...time to say goodbye. Thank you, Dr. Kazil. God bless you! read more

I wanted to take a moment and share with you the outstanding care I received from Dr Jenna Kazil in one of my worst times of need. She took the time to listen to me, to understand my needs and concerns and come up with the best solution for me. She is not like other surgeons who try to get you in and out of the door, she listens. It is obvious that she realizes what may work for others, may not work for you. Her bedside manner is caring and she is concern with the outcome of any procedure she may or may not be of service to you with. In my case, initially, she did not think that I would need surgery, she was looking for what was best for me. After caring for me for a period of time, it became obvious that I would need surgery and to date it has been very successful. My prayer is that I will not need surgery again, but if I do, I will contact her again. I would highly recommend her to you if you ever need surgery. read more

At 59 years old I was told my right Carotid was almost 100% blocked & that the left also had blockage. My Primary Doctor told me to find a Vascular Surgeon for a second opinion. I found Dr. Jenna Kazil at Florida Surgical Clinic! My experience with Dr. Kazil was Amazing! From her office staff & scheduling staff , all were fantastic people, very friendly and very professional. Dr. Kazil was matter of fact and to the point as to her plan of action for me. I knew from our conversations she was 100% committed to getting me healthy and knew exactly what she needed to do. My Carotid endarterectomy surgery was scheduled within days of seeing Dr. Kazil. My incision was minimal and has healed amazingly fast. I will be following up with Dr.Kazil to have the left Carotid unblocked, as soon as the hospitals reopen for surgery. I would Highly recommend Dr. Jenna Kazil and Florida Surgical Clinic Denise Slade read more

Dr. Kazil is an amazing, dedicated, caring person who puts her patients 100% first. She is willing to patiently listen and answer questions in a gentle, understanding manner. From being warmly greeted by her front office staff, Lauren and Achyut, to her kind and patient assistant, Elizabeth... you realize this practice is different. It's professional yet very personal. My gallbladder surgery went perfectly... from our very first meeting to the final follow-up appointment. Willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get the best care possible, I totally trusted her decisions and would put my life in her very capable hands again! (I LOVE this doctor!!!) If you want the BEST DOCTOR EVER... Dr. Jenna Kazil is the Vascular Surgery Physician for you! read more

I sought out Dr. Kazil after having suffered with a growth on my leg for 3 years. It was removed by a different surgeon 3 years ago and a sensory nerve was damaged, effectively leaving me with no feeling in my lower leg or foot. The growth returned and became quite painful. She was careful and methodical in her testing, making sure she did not do surgery that would result in additional lasting negative results. Dr. Kazil spent extra time during the surgery, not only removing the growth and scar tissue, but in correcting what nerve damage she could from the previous surgery. The growth is gone, the scar looks much better, and most importantly, I no longer have the shooting nerve pain I had after the previous surgery. I would recommend her highly. read more

I am 71 yers old and I had a lipoma for years that I never did anything about because I was fearful of surgery. I found Dr. Kazil on the internet and made an appointment with her. Dr. Kazil was very kind, understanding, professional and supportive. The surgery was painless the only post-surgery effect was being a little sore and having a little itching where the incision was made. Dr. Kazil used glue over the incision (no staples or sutures!) that wore off in a few weeks. If you are holding back getting the medical attention that you need because you are fearful of surgery or pain, I highly recommend considering seeing Dr. Kazil in her Bradenton or Sun City office. read more

In January 2021,I had an endarterectomy done by Dr. Jenna Kazil at Manatee Memorial Hospital. The surgery went exactly as she had explained to me in detail beforehand. The whole scheduling process leading up to the surgery was taken taken care of by Dr.Kazil and her staff. Dr. Kazil is very personable,caring, and i feel fortunate to have been in her care for this procedure .Highly recommended. A recent followup ultrasound on the artery that underwent surgery looked great and the incision healed quite nicely as well. Thank you again Dr.Kazil for your expertise and the wonderful care i have received. Much appreciated. read more

A Real Gem Dr. Kazil is the type of physician that you used to see. Someone who is more interested in your health, well-being and medicine than how quickly she can get you in and out to satisfy a managed care insurance company. She is very caring, knowledgeable and can individualize treatment to meet your specific needs. She is very thorough and will answer any questions you may have. But it doesn't stop there. She adds the ability to listen to you and collaborate as well. I have learned to trust her judgment and her skills, as will you. read more

I'm fortunate that my wound clinic doctor recommended Dr. Kazil and wrote a referral for me. Dr. Kazil is the right doctor for my needs. read more

Dr. Kazil has to be one of the easiest doctors to talk with. She speaks on your level, makes sure you understand what will be done and answers all questions. I was completely at ease with her performing my gall bladder removal. She even checked on me personally in the hospital quite late at night and a day before she should have been back to work. Dr. Kazil and her staff have been extremely helpful through all this and I would not think twice about returning to her. Wish she did everything! read more

Meeting with Dr. Kazil was way beyond a typical experience. She was very attentive to solving my health issues . I experienced someone who really truly cared about my well being and getting me to the people that could help me. She even called my back Dr. while I was in her office to go over a game plan. I really felt cared about and not just a stranger to her office. If all doctors were like her... this world would be a much better place. Thank you Jenna for caring....it was a blessing. read more

Dr. Kazil is one of the most caring and compassionate doctors I have ever encountered. My 98 year old father was admitted to the hospital and was fortunate enough to get Dr. Kazil as his surgeon. I live 16 hours away and could not be there, but she took the time to discuss his condition, treatment options, and just listened to my concerns without acting hurried. She put my mind at ease and I felt like my dad was in the best of hands. I wish all doctors could be like her! read more

Dr. Kazil is one of the greatest doctors I have ever met. She removed my gallbladder and repaired a small hernia. She is professional and extremely pleasant. I was nervous to have surgery in general but the ease of having her as my doctor calmed any concern I had. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a surgeon and am glad to have met her under the circumstance. If I am ever in need of surgery in the future, she is the surgeon I will be seek out. read more

Dr. Kazoo literally saved me. I am cancer free due to her and her surgical skills. During surgery she removed enough of my colon so I had clear margins. She explained every procedure in great detail and answered all my questions. Dr. Kazil made me feel like I was her only patient and during an extremely difficult time she came to the hospital long after her day should have been over. I do trust her and highly recommend her. All I can say is thank you, Dr. Kazil!! read more

I first met Dr. Kazil while in I.C.U. after normal hours. She was there to perform a emergency operation on me. That night she explained what was going on and what it would take to fix me. She had a self confidence about herself that gave me a good feeling going in to surgery. She told me of her qualifications which also made me feel good. She was willing to answer any and all of my questions with answers I could understand. She is great !! Thank you Dr. Kazil read more
