ROBERT VALENTINE, MD REVIEWS

I have been a patient with Dr Valentine for over 10 years. He has been with me thru my having pump surgery twice and refills it every three months. I have difficulties with the pump moving around to refill but Dr Valentine and staff have always been patient and never rushed to get it completed. He is always available to answer and discuss any issues I have. His sense of humor with his knowledge makes you feel very comfortable at all times. I moved from the Gainsville area 6 years ago but I continue to drive 3 hours each way to keep him as my physician. What he provides me in my health is worth the travel to continue with him. There’s no better dr that could be found. Also, his assistant Jessica is also wonderful! She is definitely a reflection of Dr Valentines work ethics. The entire staff is great.

Have been going to Dr Valentine for many years. He has helped me in every way to ease my back pain. He is always professional. His staff are very respectful and able. A very caring and dedicated service is to be expected.

I’ve had a great experience with this practice from start to finish. They are patient and understanding and always help me me to get in sooner when there is a cancellation. Dr. Valentine is amazing. He is so kind and caring. He is patient, listens to everything you say and answers all of your questions. He has an excellent bedside manner and makes you feel like your talking to a friend, a very smart friend! He discusses all treatment options and gives you honest opinions about what might or might not work. I would recommend him to anyone struggling with chronic pain.

AJAY ANTONY, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Antony treated me with respect and listened to what I had to say. He explained my options for treatment and allowed me to choose which path to take.. He had no qualms about me receiving physical therapy at DMH in Perry which is closer to home for me than Gainesville. I highly recommend Dr. Ajay Antony.

I visited Dr. Antony for lower back nerve issues. He was professional, knowledgeable, innovative and thorough. He diagnosed the exact issue, suggested and preformed the perfect procedure. I highly recommend him.

Dr Antony is a brilliant surgeon - he saved my life after one of the other providers at the Orthopedic Institute caused me terrible harm (with a botched hip replacement/severe nerve damage).

RIGOBERTO PUENTE GUZMAN, MD REVIEWS

Dr Puente-Guzman is very kind. He takes the time to explain everything. He is very gentle with his blocks and never makes me feel like I am wasting his time. He is always patient and always has a smile on his face. I could not imagine having a better doctor. I highly recommend him and his office.

No wait time to be seen. Dr. Puente was extremely pleasant and helpful while maintaining professionalism. Was nervous about emg/ncs study and he made me at ease and the test was mostly painless. Would definitely recommend.

He's the greatest.I've had more than MY share of Spine injections and he's Been the only one that Didn't send me through the roof.He has the kindest and caring and gentleness I've ever Experienced.
