Dr. Toomey only really cares about the lucrative income generated by his careless, dangerous and…read morereckless surgeries at the expense of his patients' health. 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.

The surgical results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Baker gave me all the time I needed for wound care education and questions. Seriously, she spent more time with me than all my Dr. appts' over the past few years combined... another rarity!

First of all, I had an enormous amount of dentist trauma from my childhood which caused me enormous…read morefear and stress in the past. Dr. Mallery and all of her staff are, without fail, compassionate, caring, patient in answering questions and ready to explain everything. The first time I went to their office for an extraction, my trauma had me terrified. I'm sure I was not a "good patient" by any stretch of the imagination. However, I was never made to feel bad about my fears. I was met with deep compassion and empathy and was given all the support I needed to get through the procedure. Dr. Mallery has been my dentist since Sept. 2025 even though I live near Chattanooga, TN, a two-day drive (for us in our 70's) from Bradenton. Back in Aug. 2025 I had a crown done by a dentist in Chattanooga. Two and a half weeks later I was in terrible pain & the Chattanooga dentist "could not" see me for over a week. I found another local dentist who took me on an emergency basis. He told me the root had been damaged while removing the old mercury filling & the root was dying--thus the horrendous pain. He said I needed a root canal. I knew enough to know that I did NOT want a root canal. I started researching them online and found the wonderful, informative website at White Sands. It confirmed that I did not want a root canal! I also discovered, from watching the video of SMART mercury amalgam removal, that the Chattanooga dentist had NOT by any stretch of the imagination used safe technique to remove my large filling--even though I asked her repeatedly about it. Instead, what she did released a lot of mercury into my body. On a whim, I called White Sands to ask some questions about amalgam fillings. Lucas answered, and he was so kind and informative. He told me that they could get me in within a few days if I could come down. Rather than start cold-calling dentists in Atlanta to see if one could see me, I accepted the appointment. Dr. Mallery had planned to see me on Tuesday, give me more antibiotics to keep me going, then remove the molar on Friday when there was room in the schedule. As soon as she examined me on Tuesday, she told me the tooth needed to be extracted immediately and she would make it happen the next morning. Based on my excellent experience that time, my husband and I have chosen to return to Dr. Mallery to have my 7 other mercury amalgam fillings removed. We have completed two trips and will return for the final fillings to be removed next month. I am extremely grateful to have found Dr. Mallery and her team at White Sands Holistic Dentistry. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

When I made an appointment for a teeth-cleaning for my mother, they told me that their doctor would…read morehave to exam her first prior to cleaning, which seems to be a standard. In fact, I recently had a teeth-cleaning at a different dentist, and they took the x-ray and then the doctor checked out my teeth and cleaned them. When we arrived, Brandon asked us what my mother was there for that day, so I said "Teeth cleaning." They started with x-rays, and in the process, they told me that there's no cleaning that day, and it would be scheduled for September! That was not what I was told. When I made the appointment, I made it clear that the exam and cleaning had to be on the same day. My mother was taken to the ER by ambulance a month ago, got a stent, discharged, was recovering well, but took a fall. Consequently, there are barrage of her medical care, and I'm the sole caregiver. In addition, I'm also the sole caregiver for my 18-year-old dog, which is even more challenging. So, I would not have made an appointment had they told me that they would not do both on the same day. I have not even had a moment to work for a month now, and would have never agreed to make two trips. When the office manager said that there was not going to be any cleaning, she also said the charge for the day would be $540 (even without cleaning!). So, I stopped them right then and we left. I've never seen a dentist that would charge $540 for an initial exam and imaging, then would not schedule a cleaning appointment for 6 months! Aren't we supposed to have it done every 6 months? Alicia was polite and cordial, but there was a really rude woman who harassed me as we were leaving, and if she was the actual dentist, I'm so glad that we left before she touched my mother. They doubly deceived us; 1) they should have told me that there would be a 7-month lag for the cleaning when I made and appointment, and 2) Brandon should have told us when I said my mother was there to get her teeth cleaned that day. Instead, he proceeded with the x-rays and injured her mouth (see photo). I've never seen anyone got injured like this for a simple dental exam. Never. I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 for Alicia's polite attitude and fairness to withdraw charges. My mother's experience was the farthest from holistic care. It was brutal. : After reading the reply from Dr. Mallery herself to my Google review, I am reducing the review to 1 star -- I wish there were an option for negative stars. She lied through her teeth (pun!) that my mother didn't want to leave and I'm an elder abuser. She well knows that my mother was appalled by the way her staff treated her. My mother was telling them that they deceived her, and I even had to calm her down. This morning, she further complained that they not only injured her lip but caused multiple canker sores! Dr. Mallery is not only unethical, but now publicly slandering me. Accusing someone of elder abuse is a serious defamation that faces legal consequences. I'd like any government officials to directly interview my mother and hear how upset she is with this practice and what a disgusting liar Dr. Mallery is! Un-bloody-believable!

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.

Google Review for Sarasota Memorial Hospital…read more To the staff and caregivers at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, From the bottom of my heart, thank you. In one of the most vulnerable moments of my life--walking through your doors seeking help for alcoholism--I was met not with judgment, but with professionalism, courtesy, and compassion. The environment was spotless, the care was attentive, and every person I encountered treated me with dignity and respect. That kind of care doesn't just heal the body--it begins to restore the soul. When someone is struggling, especially with addiction, the smallest gestures of kindness go a long way. At Sarasota Memorial, those gestures weren't small--they were abundant. You offered me not only medical support, but a sense of safety, hope, and humanity. That is a gift beyond measure. To anyone reading this who may be facing a difficult time, I say this: if you are troubled, if you are hurting, if you are lost--this is a place where healing begins. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarasota Memorial Hospital. They don't just treat the illness; they care for the person. I am deeply thankful and profoundly grateful for the care I received. You've helped me find a new outlook on life. May God bless each of you for the work you do. In Jesus's name, Amen. With gratitude, Timothy L. Ricker

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.
