"Dr. SK combines exceptional surgical expertise with genuine compassion. He took the time to carefully evaluate my condition, explain every detail clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable with the treatment plan."
— Healthgrades (AdventHealth Ocala Review)"Telling me 3 weeks after surgery 'to give it more time' to resolve my problems I wonder what he would say now 3 years later. It was unsuccessful. I highly advise caution."
— Healthgrades (Dr. Juan Gutierrez Review)"The nursing staff made me feel that I was the most important patient on the floor. I am not the type of patient who would question my care, however I never felt that way. All the nurses and staff were always there to explain everything beforehand."
