Surgeons - Gainesville, FL

"Dr. Spiguel is a top-notch doctor as well as caring and a perfectionist. She takes time with your patients and doesn't rush through things. She listens and has excellent knowledge in her profession and she appears to have the passion of an artist, who loves to paint. Let's face it, her patients have cancer, not a hang nail. Cancer is scary yet, Dr. Spiguel advises and comforts her patients (along with spouse and family members) which can be time-consuming yet she does it with grace. Dr. Spiguel definitely has the skills to get the job done and doesn't rush through (appointments nor surgeries) but wants the outcome to be the best to save your life and to improve your quality of life, including cosmetically. I would wait 8 hours in the waiting room for Dr. Spiguel as she doctors and ministers to the sick. I thank the Lord for Dr. Spiguel. Dr. Spiguel you will always be in our prayers. Thank you!"

"Dr Chim is a specialist in nerve and brachial plexus surgery and fixed my nerve injury. I went from being paralyzed to moving my hand again."

"This doctor did not review my voluminous records despite that I offered to send them in advance and even brought them with me to his appt. he spent about 2 minutes with me just going off data on my intake sheet. He did not answer my questions and was very rude, cold, disrespectful and frankly I never would go to shands again for a single thing. This is a fraud doctor if you ask me. "

"To make long story short.... I saw a doctor in my home town who did a malpractice to my son. As a result I scheduled an appointment with UF Health Pediatric Urologist Dr. Romano Demarco... Unbelievably, Dr. Demarco "recommended" me to go back to my home town and see the same doctor who did a malpractice to my son!!!! Really? He said that "the doctor is better than him and better looking and that I might like him". That was Dr. Demarcos solution to my son's health problem. Dr. Demarcos chose to favor his friend over my son's health and that is unethical. NOT A GOOD DOCTOR. If you are a mother and you choose to take your son or daughter to be seen by him I truly wish you better luck. But from a mother to a mother, I would see another doctor. As you see here, he only has 2 reviews and one is mine."

"Dr. Ritter is an amazing surgeon! He is kind, caring, & understanding. He takes time and listens to his patients. If it wasn't for Dr. Ritter I don't know what I would have done! I came to him with a history of chronic back pain due to childhood idiopathic scoliosis. After trying every noninvasive route with no relief, together we decided on spinal fusion to straighten my spine & decrease pain. This surgery was a huge deal to me as I had been trying to put it off for over 20 years. The thought of this surgery terrified me. Choosing Dr. Ritter for my proceedure was a no brainer. He is diligent in his work & strives for perfection. Nearly 3 months after my fusion of T4-L4 I can say I feel like a brand new woman. I could not be happier with my results!! I would highly recommend Dr. Ritter!!!"

"I had an extremely disappointing experience with Dr. Rifkin’s office due to their appalling customer service and outdated processes. A referral acceptance I needed took over 10 days for them to review, only to ultimately deny it. This delay was not only frustrating but also a complete waste of time. Shockingly, this practice still processes referrals via fax, which is unacceptable in today’s digital age and reflects their lack of efficiency and concern for patients’ needs. The front-desk staff, Nathalie, was incredibly rude and dismissive, making an already stressful situation even worse. To make matters worse, Robin, the so-called office “manager,” appeared completely clueless about basic management, administration, and patient care. It’s clear that this practice prioritizes making money over providing proper care for their patients. I cannot recommend this practice to anyone. Save yourself the time and frustration—seek care elsewhere where patients are treated with the respect and attention they deserve. "
