Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My daughter was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and needed to see a neurosurgeon. Dr. Governale was very professional and through. He explained her condition in language that we could understand and made sure our 16 year old daughter could too. He answered all of our questions and made our daughter feel comfortable as he could tell she was very nervous.

Our son was born @ UF Health needing 2 brain surgeries immediately and another at 3 months old. We have been blown away by Dr. Governale. He has exceeded all of our expectations. His bedside manners are incredible and beyond what we ever imagined; we feel as though he treats our son and us as a friend. Along our journey, he has patiently comforted us and answered any questions each step of the way! Honestly, Governale has been an answered prayer, and we call ourselves blessed to be in his care!
