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.

Beware of Bait and Switch and Trite Advice
I made an appointment to see this physician at Advent in Davenport FL, but when I arrived I was seen by a nurse instead. What? Is he too good or important to show up himself? My EXPENSIVE (~$400, 30 minute) appointment was with an MD, not his designee nurse. Can you imagine making an appointment with a lawyer and being advised by a legal assistant? Further, the "advice" I was given was trite - "eat fewer calories... write down what you eat... eat from the same bowl each time," and other banalities. Seetahal gets a bad grade for running his practice this way, and now Advent is insisting on collecting from me, which is not going to happen. The gall. I'll follow up on where this lands and will post the outcome to protect others from this F-Grade practice.

Dr. Seetahal was called to consult with my husband during his hospital stay at Advent Health Heart of Florida. He was very professional, knowledgeable, & caring. My husband did not need the surgery consulted about but Dr. Seetahal visited every day until discharge to follow up on his patient. Excellence at it’s best! Thank you!

Dr. Seetahal took care of my mother during her stay at Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center. He was very kind and compassionate. She was uneasy knowing that she had to have surgery, but he quickly reassured her that she was in good hands. He went above and beyond to make sure her stay and recovery was great. Thank you Dr. Seetahal for being the BEST Surgeon in town!

From my first encounter with Dr. Seetahal, I trusted him completely with my health care. He is professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He provided detailed answers to all of my questions. He ensured that all of my medical testing prior to my surgery was expedited. The staff were all friendly and promptly assisted with scheduling my appointments. I can not say enough great things about my experience with the GREAT Dr. Seetahal!
