All my nervousness disappeared when I walked in. Everyone was amazing and so friendly. From the front desk, to my nurse, the anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist, to the operating room staff. They had everything ready for Dr. Frimmel. All went as scheduled, no one seemed rushed, and all were very knowledgeable. The facility is beautiful, new and very clean. If you have a choice between a hospital and here, I would definitely pick this place! Thank you for all you did to make me feel at home!

This is going to be a long story, but I hope this could help someone…read more My ankle was broken with a ligament issue, and I was referred to see a specialist. The main office couldn't figure out the referral form from my primary doctor for 3 days, while telling me to call them to send the right paperwork, when I didn't even know what that was. After I told them I'd find another surgeon, they magically sorted it out. (Btw, this doc doesn't know how to use any modern tech. I was at 1st appt for over 4hrs). I got my surgery scheduled with Dr. Bright very soon. I had a plate and screws inserted into my ankle, which took about 2 hours. My main issue with care was that I was not given any pain medication but told to take Tylenol, although I have no history/issue with it. I had to call the next day and plead for medication while crying in pain. Also, I kept falling during my rehab, which my PT reported to the surgeon. His note should've raised a red flag, but my surgeon or office never called. When I went to see him, he briefly looked at my X-ray and my ankle and recommended removal surgery. I ended up getting surgery from a different doctor, and he said that my ligament was torn, and this should've been easily seen from an X-ray when I was injured at the beginning, and this should've been fixed during my first surgery. Why should you have a surgeon who barely listens to you, reads your charts or notes before coming into your room, or checks your updates from PT? I'm still suffering 2 years later after 2 surgeries; this may be permanent. Do not get close there.

I had a severe fall that left me with a torn rotator cuff and nerve damage to my shoulder which…read morewent down to my hands & fingers. I went to two Orthopedic surgeons who both said I needed rotator cuff surgery. A few people (two in the medical field) told me to have Dr. Schofield do my surgery, so I went to him expecting to make a surgical date. He looked at my MRI, did some manual tests on my shoulder movements which were very limited and said that I don't need rotator cuff surgery and that I have a frozen shoulder and to increase my PT. I was shocked and thrilled that I sought a third opinion. My shoulder is getting better with increased intense PT. Sadly, the nerve damage in my shoulder which is affecting the use of my dominant hand might need surgery and Dr. Schofield is helping me find the right surgeon for this unusual surgery as there's no one in Sarasota that does it. Dr. Schofield is kind, soft spoken, explains things well and listens to my questions and concerns. His staff are all very nice, and the only negative is that you can't leave a voice message. If they're answering another call the recording says to call back and then disconnects.

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.

When we arrived for the appointment we asked again and again wa told they did. It turns out they are not part of our policy's network. If in network as told they were we would have owed nothing. Out of network we are being billed. When we received the bills we called and again were told they took our insurance, yet we keep receiving bills. Everytime we call they tell us the billing person is not available and that they will call us back. They don't, and every few months a bill is received.

He is the only Urologist that finally found my prostate cancer after seeing two previous urologist and referred me to one of the best Oncologist in the nation. I have never had problems with his office staff. My insurance company denied coverage on the type of biopsy he did that actually finally found my prostate cancer after three other false negative biopsies from previous doctors over the last three years. Dr. Tingle went to bat for me and wrote a letter to my insurance company stating that this special biopsy was medical necessary since the MRI showed a lesion on my prostate and the normal type of a regular prostate biopsy wasn't identifying any cancer. After his letter he sent to my insurance company and two appeals I had sent with all my past medical history and biopsies, the insurance company finally paid for the special biopsy he did hospital and physician bill in full. I can't say enough what a great Urologist Dr. Tingle is. Now I am cancer free.
