Patient Stories


The physicians and staff at Surgical Specialists treat patients with precision, skill and unparalleled commitment to patient care. The following are excerpts from letters written by patients:

Heloisa

The day that Dr. Fung performed the surgery on me was emotional because it was the day she was getting married. She was not looking at me as a person without insurance – she was looking at me as a patient. I think those types of doctors are the ones of whom we need more.


Watch in the video below Heloisa’s story about how Dr. Fung donated
her time to help Heloisa end her battle with breast cancer.

On August 13, 2007 I was transported, via helicopter, to Florida Hospital Orlando for emergency surgery of a ruptured colon. Upon awakening in the recovery room after my surgery, I saw my two sisters and Dr. Simmonds holding hands and praying for me. I later learned that when I arrived to the hospital, I had been literally minutes from death. Dr. Simmonds had performed a colostomy and told me that within four to six months he was confident that he would be able to operate again to remove the infection completely and reverse my colostomy.

There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Simmonds saved my life. If someone would have offered me the most renowned surgeon in the world to perform my second surgery, I would have told them I already have him in Dr. Simmonds. I thank God every day for saving my life and for Dr. Simmonds- who is as fine a man as he is a surgeon.

The Surgeon Specialists of Florida Hospital were very kind, answered every question I had, and truly cared about my recovery and my quality of life. I will be forever grateful.

Dr. Harmon was my dream doctor. She really cares about her patients, and her work is precise. The office staff was polite and very organized, and they scheduled the surgery fast. The whole experience was awesome, and the hospital is awesome too! I would highly recommend Dr. Harmon and her staff as they are skilled doctors - you are truly in good hands.
