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.

First physicians Group has several doctors working in the practice providing general medical care…read moreand consultations. It's located next to Sarasota memorial hospital. There is a parking garage and also valet parking if you prefer. My appointment with Dr. Shah almost always runs on time. I rate Dr. shah as an excellent doctor. He doesn't rush me and takes the time to do a thorough consultation. The only reason I am not giving five stars is because of how difficult it is to get through to this office on the phones. It can sometimes take over an hour of waiting. They do offer a call back service but if you miss that then you have to start all over again. Given how busy they are and how many doctors they have, they should really employ more people for the phones. It's often quicker to drive there and speak to the front desk than it is to call in.

Wait time on phone is terrible. If you need help better drive to office, will be quicker.read more

Two years later, the tumor reappeared at the lumpectomy site. Because I had had radiation, a mastectomy was required. When I had asked her about the benefits of a mastectomy vs lumpectomy, she retorted,"Why would you want to look like a flat-chested boy?".

Five years later she took care of my special needs sister who developed multiple myeloma. The care she (and Meg) gave my sister, the extra love and patience for a special needs person, was beyond compare. They worked with us, her caregivers, long distance family, an ailing father and me. When breast cancer came my way in 2021, she was there. A familiar loving face with Meg at her side. The wear and tear on oncologists is tremendous and Dr Silver was a stalwart champion for my entire family. I shed tears when she retired three years into my treatment, and although I know I am in good hands with Dr Lunin, my heart wants Dr Silver and Meg...who were my family. I wish you the most peaceful retirement and thank you from the bottom of my heart for over two decades of looking after my family. I miss you!
