Review for Sarasota Surgical Arts -- Dr. Alberico J. Sessa…read more I originally gave this doctor 5 stars on the Google , because I trusted him and believed what he promised me during my consultation. After 8 months, I am extremely disappointed with both my experience and my results. I had a breast lift with implants, and I am unhappy with the results of both. My biggest concern was my left breast. I had the same problem after a previous surgery, with the breast extending toward my left armpit. I specifically told the doctor I did NOT want this to happen again. He reassured me that the implant would not go toward my armpit and told me not to worry. Unfortunately, after surgery, I have the same problem again. This is extremely upsetting because this was something I specifically discussed with him and was promised would not happen. I was also told during my consultation that I would not need a drain for my tummy tuck. On the day of surgery, I was told I would have one. After the tummy tuck, I also developed small dog ears at the ends of the incision, which I am unhappy with. I am also unhappy with my tummy tuck and liposuction results. The right side of my abdomen does not match the left side, and the liposuction on my back near my right buttock left what looks like a large indentation. I am also unhappy with the results of the fat transfer under my eyes. What has been especially disappointing is the lack of access to the doctor after surgery. When I asked to see him about my concerns, I was made to wait in the room for more than an hour and a half. When I finally saw him and tried to ask questions about my results and concerns, he walked out while I was speaking. I felt completely disrespected and ignored. I paid a significant amount of money for these procedures, and after 8 months I am still very unhappy. I trusted this doctor based on what I was told before surgery, but my experience and results have been completely different from what I expected. My experience has been extremely disappointing.

I also had a large growth of my isthmus that grew into my left thyroid and was starting to attach to my spinal cord. His expertise is amazing with his precise and attentive techniques. He is well schooled and has a great supportive wife which you will meet in the office. He is truly caring,compassionate as his expertise shows. He truly cares about his patients as all hospitals, others doctors and multiple clients praise his high standards,excellent bedside manner as he is one of the only plastic surgeons I would trust anymore.His work is error free accurate,meticulous and delves into every situations with the most perfect outcomes. He has given me my sense of confidence back and my husband and I couldn't say anything about this astute kind of Dr. .He does specialize in thyroid surgery ,so you know if you can trust a Dr with your neck that shows trust that his work is always impeccable and that is why his reputation is so well known in many medical and client populations as well as hospitals. He is very serious yet has a funny side to him and makes you feel so relaxed that your literally and physically in good hands while he performs the extensive surgeries that he does. There is never a wait in his office and he even answers his own phone with I personally have heard by medical staff,clients,and hospitals and well as referring doctors. He is a doctor that does this work to help others from the bottom of his heart not just dollar signs as other doctors may make you feel but not him. He does work on children,adults, disabled,elderly anyone that wants someone who cares and will be left in good hands. He answers back quickly and checks up on all his patients promptly as a great doctor should. We highly recommend as his wife and him and true perfection and they help you move through the stress and worries that surgery can bring. Believe me , I was one of them now I do not hesitate and know between his wife and himself they are considerably the most warmhearted couple out there. Thank you kindly, Kim and Ossie

Dr. David Shoemaker owns Center for Sight which has an office in Venice, FL. My experience at that…read moreoffice has been extremely frustrating. I can never actually speak to a human being when calling. I had an eye infection and needed an appt right away. I was not able to get an appt on the phone, so I made one on their website. There was no option for an emergency appt that I could find so I had to choose the option for an eye exam. Then, I was billed for a full eye exam and since I had one a few months ago, my insurance didn't pay. I called the billing dept, waited on hold for 30", finally left a message to call me back. 2 days went by and no call back, so had to drive over to the office and found that although the office was open, no billing person was there to help me. I will be looking for a small locally-owned clinic to avoid the headaches of this large corporation.

Dr. Mercandetti is the best doctor you could ever want taking care of you.. He takes time…read morelistening to you --no rush at all. I was referred to him by another Venice physician who described him simply as "brilliant' in his field. I found this to be true after rrying many other places. His wife, Laura, operates her business, NuView Aesthetic, in the same office with the best personalized facials, top skincare products--and numerous up-to-date procedures and equipment. She offers so many alternatives and is very good at explaining which is best for you. The front office treat you very well and are organized. Everything about this practice is AAA+. I am grateful I found them when I moved to Venice from NYC. I would not see another practice after trying others. I highly recommend. You will not regret it!

However, the doctor knew the one eye had blurring from the OTC medical ointment. I did not request a Refraction exam for which I was charged $75, and this is not covered by insurance. In 50 years of eye examinations, I never was presented with this kind of bill. My eyes were way overly dilated. I felt blinded by normal light, (even wearing dark classes). plus had a headache and nausea for 7 hours, even the next day. The vision examination was 20/25. 20/25 vision is considered good and very close to "normal" (20/20). But the doctor gave me a paper to take to the optician in their office. I have Intraocular Lenses that are multi focal. I do not need classes. I felt it was just a sales pitch. The cyst was treated at the end of the appointment. Please do not send the automatic apology. I will not return.

The phone number 941-412-0303 is not compatible with landline phones. Since December 21, 2024, I had been trying to get a hold of someone in this office. (I did realize I first tried to call on a Saturday so no one is in the office). However I showed up to this office in PERSON on Tuesday Dec 24th, and they were closed. I get it Dr. Richter is busy and works out of different offices, HOWEVER their phone service needs to improve. If you don't call from a SMARTPHONE they do not answer. FINALLY today I got a hold of MAC (or MACK) wanting to speak to Dr. Richter (and at first THEY did not know who that was) I was calling on behalf of a sensitive topic regarding my uncle, and she was so rude. Dr Richter may be a good doctor, however YOUR FRONT OFFICE STAFF REPRESENTS YOUR BUSINESS, and I was told DR. RICHTER would not take my call at all today. Even if I called back within a half an hour, or at a more convenient time. THIS OFFICE NEEDS A BETTER PHONE SYSTEM THAT WORKS WITH HEARING IMPAIRED LANDLINE PHONES.
