Every person I encountered was kind and compassionate as well as very caring. His entire staff worked together efficiently to keep patience, patients efficiently moving through the process while still maintaining an excellent level of care. Dr. Venezia and his staff took care of all of my concerns. When I walked out the door my surgery was scheduled as well as my follow up visits after the surgery in October! This is what great health care looks like! Bravo, and kudos to all. Y'all hit it out of the park!

This is my 2nd week since I had spinal surgery performed by Dr. Venezia and I have to say how…read moreamazed I've been about the entire process. From the beginning Dr. Venezia has been patient and extremely informative in explaining my condition and the and risks associated with each of the surgical options he presented to me. I expected the worst possible outcome and I am pleased to say Dr. Venezia provided me with the best possible outcome that I could possibly experience.From talking with friends that had similar surgeries I was prepared mentally that I would be in significant pain and discomfort and other than dealing with muscle spasms and a sore throat each of which Dr. Venezia warned me about (and provided meds for) I've been feeling and doing great!!! Each step of the way his staff as well as the great staff at Morton Plant Hospital was there to support me. I would recommend Dr. Venezia in a heartbeat to anyone having spinal problems or needing spinal surgery. Thank you Doc! I feel very fortunate to have chosen you!

A total disaster. After traveling 25 miles to go to an appointment at the spine center, my wife…read morewas told she did not have a referral. We were told the center was sent a referral from the PCP. I contacted the PCP office and had them on my phone. They refused to resolve the issue in the most rude fashion. When asked if the manager could speak to my PCP office, they said in the most unprofessional manner that I would have to wait. The PCP office said they never heard a medical staff talk like that. There were at least four other people who had the same issue and all treated in the same fashion. We walked out and will never return.

My experience with Dr Moreno so far has been in the hospital…read more I was admitted for extreme back pain, which was almost debilitating. I also had so many things going on that made my illness a bit complicated. Dr. Moreno immediately began with my back to rule out a fracture. Then he assured me that he will do his utmost best to help me with my pain management. I am looking forward to my visit with him in his office next week to begin what I hope will be experiencing a whole new painless if not pain free life. Dr Moreno has the most awesome personality with a killer smile.I am so grateful for those individuals who arranged for him to be on my Bay Care Team. Thank you Dr Moreno.

TL;DR: Months of waiting to get just minutes of pure arrogance. Left in tears, no answers, still in…read morepain -- seeking another doctor. We waited months for this appointment, only to leave disheartened and confused. Dr. Moreno was abrupt, rude, condescending, dismissive, and clearly had not reviewed my MRI report. At one point, he begrudgingly flashed the MRI on the screen for mere seconds -- not to explain, but to silence questions he seemed offended by. His "treatment plan" felt rushed, based on snap judgment, and ignored key findings; his ego seemingly given more weight than thorough clinical review. My wife left in tears, and I left still in pain with incomplete answers. Medicine is not just about knowledge; it's about listening, synthesizing, and caring enough to explore the full scope of a patient's symptoms. On that front, Dr. Moreno failed spectacularly.

His team is 100% cooperative with HIM in surgery pre-op, and post- op care superior. After I saw Dr. Davidson / Andrew (awesome) He is also on his team. Also, Joseph Hanson assisted in surgery . I suffered quite a while with my spine before. Finally decided to go in and talk to Dr Davidson with MRI fall 2025. He told me the pros in the cons of what I could expect to achieve. He delivered 100%. I Have to say I was Cranky on my 1 post -op visit./my x-rays looked great, but I was Cranky. March I went third visit. Everything has settling in beautifully. When He showed me my x-rays a second time, it was more than 100% beautiful. All the bone spurs were removed. The vertebrates looked perfect. I couldn't ask for a more competent, compassionate, patient , and experience surgeon . The pre-op and post -op care =excellent. Thank you, Dr. Davidson, Joe, also the anesthesiology team, and Andrew, no words can express how I feel. Dr. Davidson is definitely the Spine Man . Morton Plant-BayCare Hospital Clearwater Fl.
