I have a very strange case . I have been to Tampa, Miami, Mayo Clinic for this. He is the only one that has really investigated and had concern and made me feel I have someone that we help me figure this out!
Fabulous bedside manner. Very knowledgeable and a lot of integrity!
My husband and I really felt a relief when we consulted with him. I have not had surgery, but he is on our team for sure and he researches and helps us with everything while we approach having a surgery! TY for Dr Paul!!

Dr Paul made me feel at ease the moment I walked into his office. I was unaware at the time that he was going through his own personal heartache and sorrow while giving me his full attention while helping me with my GI issues. I would highly recommend Dr Paul to my family & friends. I appreciated the speed at which he was able to see me & get tests ordered. He's caring, kind, knowledgeable and an awesome person. Thanks Dr Paul! The office staff were also caring & wonderful.

If I could give 10 stars I would
Not only did Dr Paul Relax me before my surgery but this day every time I get a port flush a different nurse says “damn Dr. Paul must’ve done that it’s so perfect”
Amazing Doctor and even better experience. Additionally, when he could not do my previous surgery, he referred me to one of the best doctors in the country.
Not to mention he knows the value of a Kelly’s roast beef chowda when in season .

I was misdiagnosed as having a cardiac blockage at another ER and sent home with improper medications that caused bad side effects to my actual condition. I was actually suffering from an incarcerated hernia where my bowel was rubbing on an old hernia repair mesh. After 8 more days of no bowel movement and severe pain, I had a neighbor drive me to Indian River hospital Cleveland clinic at 8pm where after 30 minutes I had the proper imaging done and was correctly diagnosed, my medication changed, stomach pumped, and Dr Paul did surgery immediately the next day. My recovery was half the time of a previously similar surgery I had 7 years prior, and Dr Paul explained everything simply and clearly, including educating me about some misinformation given to me by some previous surgeons. Dr Paul was calm, confident, clear and precise when talking to me, and made sure I understood everything, and all my questions were answered. His office staff was friendly and reached out and scheduled follow up for me for after I was discharged. Dr Paul even referred me to another surgeon for another unrelated procedure, I was told by other doctors was not possible. I feel very lucky to have been treated by Dr Paul. He literally saved my life, and what I learned from him about my past misdiagnoses has greatly improved the quality of my life. I would highly recommend Dr Paul

A true professional, caring human- that is Dr. Paul! He was thrown into my emergency situation and made me a priority, even though it wasn’t life threatening. Dr. Paul still made my diagnosis feel important and saw my pain and acted. His staff also worked to get things moving quickly to help get me relief & answers. Best of the best in Vero Beach! Thank you!
