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.

Wonderful surgeon!
Wonderful! If you need a top surgeon, look no further, schedule your appointment, you are in the best of hands with Dr. Olinde! I met him while in the ER in 2006, and was treated over the years for one health issue, little did I know that in 2017 I would be going back to him for a major operation. I recovered beautifully and regained my full quality of life. He is truly an exceptional surgeon but also cares for his patients with utmost compassion and care. With Dr. Olinde, you are in the best of hands!

Colon Cancer Surgery
Pre-op consultation was outstanding. Dr. Olinde even gently prodded us...and did NOT rush us 4 separate times "were there any questions or concerns you have?" He listened and thoroughly responded to all comments. He turned the terrible news and situation into one of confidence instilling and positivity thoughts. He was calming and helpful. His office staff was professional and efficient. They helped so many people that morning and worked hard to keep everyone on schedule. They answered questions with patience and were not rude in any way but had no time to coddle people either. The surgery and post op Dr. visits were again confidence instilling. He relayed the operation and post-op plans in very understandable terms and set expectations well. Dr. Olinde will be the doctor I recommend to all my family and friends...to anyone who asks really. I am very thankful that I was recommended to him.

I had left and right hernia surgeries
I came to have hernia fix twice. Right in 2017 and left 2019. Both was good. I came from Colorado to have those done, since I know the area where I lived. They took care of me quickly so I can get back to my family. Within a week I had my flights back to Colorado. I have no other thing to say other than I really appreciate his work. Thank you Doctor.

Dr. Olinde is a very nice man. Yes, he is very intelligent and will take all the time you want to explain, in depth about anything medical. However, when I told him about my post op concerns about my hospital stay and overall experiences with his staff, (wrote him a letter) he seemed incapable of understanding how much these things really effected my experience. I was never given any compression wrap or bra because, he said, "They are not medically necessary. They are only for comfort." Guess what, got my own. They are comfortable. I'd like to know if you ever offered your mother a compression wrap after you performed her double mastectomy. No proof that it is a truth or that he told me this, because I was alone in his exam office, not eve a nurse. But he did tell me that. I didn't seek another Dr. at that point because my tumor was invasive and I was kind of in shock, so I scheduled surgery for 7 days later. His staff is rude, unprofesdional, unpleasant and uncaring. Especially his of

Not only is Dr Jay Olinde a fantastic surgeon, he also has a terrific bedside manner and truly seems to care about his patients. I had an issue, post surgery, on Sunday, and he immediately called me. He was as nice as could be. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Olinde is an excellent surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. He is cares about his patients, and performed my case quickly and told me what to expect in terms of recovery issues, so there were no unpleasant surprises or causes for alarm during the days following my surgery. He's a regular guy you can have a conversation with. It's like being treated by a trusted family member who also happens to be a surgeon. I recommend him to my friends who've needed surgery on several occasions.

I already have recommended Dr. Olinde to my friends and acquaintances. He is an excellent surgeon but above all very concerned with his patients' wellbeing and follow-up care. He really listens to what you are saying - something which is not always found these days. If you need surgery please see Dr. Olinde. I am sure your experience will be as positive and encouraging as mine was.

Dr. Olinde performed major surgery on my husband last month. He was in the hospital for 28 days. During that time, Dr Olinde was right on top of everything, explaining & answering all of our questions. He made us feel as if my husband was his only patient. We live in NJ (down here in vacation) & we truly believe that God allowed us to be in Florida at the time of my husband's intestinal issue so that Dr. Olinde could be his surgeon! We highly recommend Dr. Olinde!!
