Vascular Surgeons who are Physicians - Punta Gorda, FL

"Other than failing to repair the condition that he diagnosed, he seems like a nice man. It may be time for him to hang up his knife, as he knew what he was going in for, confirmed it prior to anesthesia, smirking the he knew more than patients who use Google, and then after he neglected to repair the condition because, for some odd reason he couldn't identify what he felt in the examination, I went home after major surgery to recuperate. On the post-surgical exam, when I pointed out that it appeared visually from the external exam that he hadn't fixed it, he attempted a cover-up, brushing it aside. "I know what I'm doing. I'm the surgeon." So I went and had three more opinions, while suffering the effects of the condition that he had failed to treat. All three surgeons said, "Yes, that thing is still there and you need surgery." So I trusted one of these surgeons, and now it's fixed, but the unnecessary surgical trauma and four month recuperation from the first attempt by Dr. P is pretty disappointing and I wouldn't recommend him for this reason. He was probably better at an earlier time. Or perhaps he was fatigued by the time he got to me. They start pretty early in the day and I was one of his last surgeries."
