I want to compliment the First Physicians Group of Sarasota, Gastroenterology division at 1852 Hilllview Avenue and in particular Dr. Steven Kucera and his team for a first class experience as I had a test there. From Jody Wilwert in his office who was so patient and clear in describing the procedure, to the members of his team who were spot-on professional and caring. Dr. Kucera was not only professional but personable, a really good listener. From the time I was checked in to the time I left, the doctors, nurses and office staff made a not -fun test a positive experience. I recommend them very highly as this is the way medicine should be practiced! read more

This is the 1st time I've had to write an unfavorable Doctor review however feel compelled to as have no way of reporting this and, importantly, need to ensure sure others know the very poor service they will receive when engaging Dr Kucera and Dr Shaw's team. I have 2 separate events that reinforce my bad experience. EVENT 1. I have a syndrome that required rapid colonoscopy-endoscopy in Dec 2021. Despite much "sweet talk" from Dr Kucera and his PA at consult - I received no follow-up. Despite calling daily/begging for results for several polyps - nobody bothered to call - responding several days later citing the "holidays" as the delay and the person complained about working 12 hr shifts, being understaffed. It didn't seem to matter that I was very concerned about Cancer! EVENT 2. I have hemorrhoids for removal and have called several times to reschedule apt (as I sit here, 2 weeks without call back - despite being "assured" by receptionist. Totally unprofessional. Be warned. read more

The two things that stand out is that he is known to practice what he preaches pertaining to dietary choices. The second observation is that he presents as a no-nonsense practitioner with focus and sound feedback.

Not sure why but i went, After 4 months several blood tests and invasive procedures i am no closer to treatment. The other day i got angry and did some research and found out ACROSS THE STREET--LITERALLY is the physician who is the authority on Hep C, He has written articles, books and has a large clinic ACROSS the street! Did she mention him? NO she did not. SO since sept 2016 i have been in acute liver failure, NOTHING has been done despite me now owing over$200.00 in unpaid medical bills (i am on a VERY limited income) so this B.S. is a real hardship for me. Dr Shek appears to be a nice person but is definatly focused on GI issues only. BTW still waiting for that return call from kimberly from 2 weeks ago...I'm done

If Hippocrates actually said "do no harm", Dr. John Yee has developed his own modified version of…read morethe oath. His pledge is to "do great good for those who need you most". Two years ago I spent much of my time moving through life in a wheelchair because of a serious foot injury. I was facing seemingly impossible odds when I met Dr. John Yee. While other physicians had given up on my case, Dr. Yee engaged his unending creative problem-solving skills suggesting unique treatments that resolved my problem and resulted in a much-improved lifestyle. As I began to improve, Dr. Yee suggested that an exercise program would be essential to my regaining strength and balance. He found a gym whose talented owner agreed to work with several of his patients recovering from serious medical issues. Under his direction, five of us we're pushed and challenged and we improved --- and then Covid-19 hit and the gym had to close. Dr. Yee then stepped in and offered to personally teach us martial arts strategies and techniques to continue our recovery using a virtual platform. Dr. Yee now coaches us in strength training, balance strategies and relaxation techniques and we continue to grow physically and mentally. His gentle concern has strengthened our minds, bodies and souls. Because of his concern, I am today a seventy-one-year-old woman, who had never been athletic, exercising 7 days a week, learning taekwondo and feeling stronger than ever. I am proud of myself for never giving up. I know that I owe this new life and confidence to my brilliant, challenging physician / life coach, Dr. John Yee. I will always be grateful to him for making the latter part of my life the best part!
