Dr. Paul is an excellent surgeon! He was kind and thorough during the consultation, surgery day and post op visit. He takes his time with patients and family. We all trusted his input and guidance - I highly recommend him! His office staff is efficient and personable, going out of their way to accommodate our needs. Call them, you won’t regret it.

Relatively short wait time - appreciated. Dr Paul appeared very attentive and interested in my issue. He wasn't dismissive, as other doctors typically are, and listened to what I had to say - again, appreciated. After the exam, he provided a clear description of the problems, and recommended the least painful and simplest non-surgical course of treatment. He said I would only need to see him again if the prescribed 'home treatment plan' did not provide relief, or symptoms got worse. Obviously, and, refreshingly, this unique medical doctor is centered on helping people versus billing people.

The staff was very courteous and helpful. From the moment Dr Paul entered the room, I could tell he was the type of professional I was looking for. He politely answered all my questions and explained my condition and his recommended corrective surgical procedure thoroughly to me, including the expected healing time. We were able to agree on a date for the procedure. The staff provided me with printed pre- and post-surgery instructions and a checklist with contact numbers at the end of my visit.

I had my first visit with Dr Paul yesterday to discuss a surgical procedure and he was patient and understanding, taking the time to answer all my questions and concerns. Extremely happy to have chosen Dr Paul and will be having my procedure in about a week. I highly recommend Dr Paul if you are looking for a general surgeon.

An excellent experience overall. Dr Paul patiently explains the procedure in detail and the reasons for each step. The operation itself, twin hernia repair, was professional in every aspect. Follow up was quite thorough.

testimonials


  • "Five stars are not enough... Dr. Paul and his staff, Janice and Emilie, met me at the beginning of my breast cancer journey. Their regard and genuine attention to my anxiety helped to assuaged my fear, helping to replace it with hope by actively listening and ensuring I was well-informed to make well-educated choices in my treatment plan. Their professionalism and patient-care approach cannot be measured in stars... Thank you!"
    - Edie R. 

  • "Dr. Paul did a fine job installing a chemo port and removing a sizeable cyst from my back. While he did prescribe something to handle pain, if I needed, I did not. In fact at bed time I took two Tylenol, just in case and, as it turned out, I did not even need that. Super job by the good doctor and his team. Thank you all. I could not have asked for or expected a better result."
    - Rod R.

  • "I only had a consultation thus far for an upcoming surgery. He was very attentive and answered all my questions thoroughly. He didn’t treat me like a number to get to the next patient. He explained the procedure and how he will go about correcting the problem. I feel confident leaving my life in his hands."
    - Travaris W.

  • "He has a wonderful bedside manner. Makes you feel totally comfortable takes time to listen and explains himself in a way you understand. The office was clean and very well decorated. The front office staff was also super nice!"
    - Charlene S.

  • "After being diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time I knew what came next, surgery! 11 years ago I went to Jacksonville for my mastectomy, Mayo Clinic was the best. Well, after seeing Dr.Paul it was without a doubt that he was the best doctor for me. From my first appointment his staff was kind, informative and knowledgeable. Dr.Paul explained everything to me, his bedside manner was impeccable! He will be in my prayers from this day forward!"
