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.

I'm 78 years old and of all the doctors I've encountered, Dr. Handelman has been the most attentive and knowledgeable. Whether it's a serious or minor problem, he gives it his utmost attention. He has even taken time to help me with tech issues with my phone. When my insurance won't approve tests like an MRI, they can expect a call from him. He greets you with a smile and positve attitude. He definitely deserves a 5 star.

Dr. Handelman is the best Doctor ever. He doesn't push pills on you that you don't need and is extremely compitent. I wouldn't think of going to any other Doctor in FL. He is always there when you need him and goes out of his way to help any way he can. Mary Lou Gallagher

We were on vacation from Montreal, Canada and my mom had a stroke. Dr. Handelman treated her. My mom can’t stop talking about Dr. H saying how thorough, patient and kind he is. He took his time to explain everything, we never felt rushed and he answered all her questions. Very friendly Dr. and very Knowledgeable. Thank you Dr. Hendelman!!

I've been a patient for 2 years, and my son is now a patient. We find him to be very friendly and informative. I never love going to the doctor, but he seems to be a good one!

This guy knows his stuff. Within 36 hours found my Pancreatitis and had me back on track. Serious condition but dealt with quickly and effectively. Had no clue about his work history until seeing this site but it looks like he has a lot of practical experience to rely on.

Dr. Handelman has been my 94 yr old mother for many years. She was recently taken by ambulance to the hospital for high blood pressure and confusion. She has been in the hospital for 2+ days and after a TEE and other tests, after many calls to both him and his office I cannot get him to call me and give me any information. I live in MI and have POA and have no family in FL. She has been in an independent living facility for 6 years and has been doing.well. Not so well now. Cannot get any info
