Surgeons - Port Charlotte, FL

"Dr. Getter is the man!! If I could give him and his staff 10 stars I would. And I know of what I speak as Dr. Getter did ACDF (cervical discectomy and fusion) in Oct. 2021 and L4/5 lumbar laminectomy (decompression) surgery for me last week (Feb.3, 2023) and I could not be happier. His staff is awesome, friendly, compassionate and caring while Dr. Getter is all of that and more being highly experienced, talented, personable (actually has a great sense of humor) and is great at making his patients feel at ease and alleviating any fears they may have. If there is a spine surgeon hall of fame I hereby nominate Dr. Getter for induction."

"What a horrible, horrible office! It took months just to speak with someone at the office to make my initial appointment, and that was only because I went to the office to make an appointment in person. The office had received my paperwork months earlier, indicating that my primary care dr had found cancer cells in my urine sample, but they still wouldn’t give me a priority appointment. Dr was great, did successful surgery and when I went in to have my cather catheter taken out they tried to send me home without having it removed. Then my quarterly cancer checks kept getting rescheduled. Now I go today for my quarterly check and they tell me my doctor has left the practice and the other doctors aren’t seeing new patients. Now I have to find a new doctor and my cancer check is going to be delayed by months!! When I asked why they didn’t call me they said that couldn’t call 2000 patients and tell them. They could care less if their patients live or die!"

"Found them thru my Aetna plan website. Called to make an appointment and was transferred to three different people. Finally got a definitive person who placed me on hold. That was the last contact I had with them as they never picked up after placing me on hold. Not surprised as this is typical of the medical profession here in Florida. "
