I was a bit upset that they hadn't notified of this change in policy.

Long review for a great physician. I recently traveled from the midwest to visit Dr Jonathan Yunis…read moreat The Center for Hernia repair in Sarasota , Florida, and I am so glad I did. I had been suffering from groin pain for three years and had been diagnosed with bilateral inguinal hernias and told to schedule surgery by a general surgeon in my home state. I began to research the procedure and specialists who offer no- mesh as an option in the right situation. The reviews that I read for Dr Yunis as well as his credentials caught my eye. His practice is solely focused on hernia surgeries but he is also a board certified vascular surgeon. I called the office and spoke with Melanie, his nurse administrator. Melanie was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and patient. She educated me and answered my questions generously, even giving me questions to ask if I sought care elsewhere. She offered a phone consult or in-person visit at my convenience. I called a couple more times over the next two years with more questions and each time she was equally helpful and pleasant as was Rhonda, who scheduled my appointment. I delayed visiting due to Covid and distance but the pain increased and was limiting my activity so I finally made the trip earlier this month. I met with Melanie and Dr Yunis. Both of them took their time to ask me questions and help me. Dr. Yunis exudes keen intelligence and kindness. He listened intently to my history, examined me and pretty quickly surmised that it was likely my hip causing my problems and pain. He offered referrals and help with imaging. Luckily my husband has great orthopedic connections, and I had an mri a week after returning home that revealed my previously healthy hip now had moderate to severe osteoarthritis with a bone spur and degenerative labral tear! A week later, I have just gotten a steroid injection and am already walking more normally with greatly reduced pain! I hope I can avoid hip replacement, but I am certainly glad I did not opt to have hernia surgery at my local hospital! It would not have helped my hip pain and may have caused other issues. I am so thankful I made the trip for an in-person consult at The Center for Hernia Repair. I would absolutely choose Dr. Yunis if I actually did need hernia repair and I am incredibly grateful for his astute preliminary diagnosis of my pain. After three years of suffering, I saw Dr Yunis and within three weeks- my limp is gone, my mind is clear from pain and I understand what is going in in my body! Melanie even called when I was back home to see if I needed anything. He and his staff are wonderful. They are truly experts in their field, kind, transparent and helpful. I felt cared for and I am so deeply grateful. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely wonderful hospital. I was looking at some of the reviews of this hospital and I'm…read morecompletely shocked at some of the ratings. I'll start by saying they have valet parking when you come to this hospital for regular visit or for ER visit I had to go to the ER Thought I was having a heart attack or stroke. They got me immediately back ran a ton of test for two days kept me for observation overnight. It was a complete team approach and I was very very very impressed. The other time that I was at this hospital was recently when my friends daughter gave birth. The entire process the entire team did a fantastic job. Communication was amazing. Their procedures and policies were very modern and up-to-date. After the birth and in the room, the baby never left the room or the mother side or should I say site they had a lot of educational resources and made sure that the Mom understood many things about being a mother what to do in the early days, taking care of a baby. There was a lot of education a lot of communication and a real desire to help the mom take care of the baby the way, the mom wanted to have things done. They were very respectful and very attentive. I could go on and on and on, but after having experience in other hospitals, I can't say this is absolutely the best hospital I've ever been in a reserved service from.

My entire family is FLOORED over Nurse Nina on floor 8 behavior. Incident happened at 7:10pm inside…read moreand outside of room 821 on June 19th. My father was rushed into emergency surgery and was unable to even communicate to our family exactly what he had done. We waited for hours not even knowing what body part he was having worked on. Nurse Nina was the first medical professional we encountered after we were told what room he was put in. Nurse Nina comes in and we ask her what happened, she said "he can tell you" while barely acknowledging us, the four of us were telling her that he's confused by what happened. She completely ignored us as we continued to ask her questions and left the room as we spoke to her. I followed her outside and asked her if we are not allowed to ask her questions and she told me her shift was about to be over and she needs to finish her own paperwork. I tell her my father cannot talk to us without crying and she is the medical professional. We just wanted to know what he had done. She saw during this moment that I was looking at her name tag so she pulled it from her chest and held it out aggressively toward me and said she is calling security on me. To threaten me for simply inquiring about my father's condition. She never did because I did absolutely nothing wrong at all, it was just another way for this woman to be hateful. I want to be very clear that I was in no way aggressive, loud, or insulting. Two nurses sat on either side of her and heard this interaction and didn't seem phased. I assume this is a very common bedside manner for Nina and I'm shocked a hospital as nice as this would have someone this hateful working here, attacking families during vulnerable moments. To treat a patients family this way, when we are here simply out of concern for his life is truly cruel and sickening. This is the rudest encounter I've ever had in any public, not even just a hospital.

He performed a double hernia repair surgery on me on July 8, 2025. It is now three weeks post-op and I have a brutal bout of pneumonia he termed as a post surgical pneumonia. I still have terrible laryngitis due to the horrific way I was intubated. Also I still have a urinary tract infection because they broke sterile technique. In addition, I have itchy, painful "bumps" along the side of my private parts and it won't go away. He told me this was also from the catheter. He was supposed to speak with me after the surgery but did not and then he went on vacation for 2 weeks during which time I suffered complications and had to go to the Emergency Room. I never had as much pain of epic proportion in the eight surgeries I had prior as I did with this surgery. He called my pain medicine into the wrong pharmacy and only prescribed 12 Tramadol. I arrived to my two week post-op appointment early and was told he had an emergency so the appointment was cancelled even though I had no clue how the surgery went and what exactly he found. The office neglected to call anyone about this and I drove 50 miles.

He went twice to cut off extra skin and I told it I need another lift and he said oh we'll do it next time so now my boobs botched after paying over $12,000.
