We asked patients, how has your USF Health doctor made your life better?
“Dr. Coris has provided me with ongoing excellent health advice and support over the years. He has gone above the call of duty on several occasions in doing research about how my conditions can be mitigated or affected by my decisions. He has helped me overcome some challenges and helped me live a more well-balanced lifestyle. A great resource!”
“Dr. Imudia embodies the quote, 'You can change the world if you care enough.' May your curiosity, compassion and extensive research continue to positively impact women on a global scale. I am thankful & grateful for you, your research and for being an extraordinary doctor & human being. Happy Doctors Day. May your well of abundance never dry.”
“Dr. Amy Brown has helped get my life back!! I love that I can talk openly with her and that she is straightforward with me and answers all my questions and tells me let me circle back when I have that answer. She is the type of person I would want to know if she wasn’t my doctor.”
“She listens carefully after asking me thoughtful questions about how I am doing since the last visit; provides me with her assessment and recommendations; seeks my input; and, gains agreement on next steps. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dr. Kalidas and could not be more pleased with the care that she has provided over the years.”
“The team of Dr. McCaffrey and Dr. Van Loveren with their calming, knowledgeable open approach and their extensive experience with my condition brought peace and hope to a time that had terrorized my wife and me.”
“I credit Dr. Fadi Matar for saving my life. He picked up a 90% widow maker block and fixed it fast, so I never experienced an actual heart attack. He is always there for me with any questions or problems, even answering email, evenings or weekends. Truly, he is a remarkable person and dedicated physician. One of USF’s best!”
“We are excited to increase our support for Dr. Herweg and his internationally acclaimed work. He was able to change our family's life for the better years ago, and we are honored to support his work helping others.”
“Dr. Jacovino is incredibly knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond for her patients! She is always thorough, friendly and makes everything easy to understand. I am so lucky to have her as a member of my healthcare team!”
“Dr. Sijin is very personable with patients and staff; I always feel comfortable seeing her. She goes the extra mile whether it is looking more into an issue or concern of mine and I always feel I can talk frankly with her. She listens and I never feel she is rushing off to the next patient or task. She is very knowledgeable.”
