Patient Reviews

I don’t even know how or where to start with this review! First of all 5 stars are not enough! If I could give him a million, he earned every single one! Dr. Ducoin saved my life! I can’t begin to count the doctors that attempted to help, flat out said they couldn’t help & then those that said I should live with the pain or it was in my head! My surgery was 01/06/2023 & I still break down in tears. My problem has been going on for years, the last 7 being the worse. The last 2 years I have been unable to eat & could only sip when I drank anything. I was in constant pain, my quality of life was nonexistent. Believing I had a hernia I was referred to Dr. Ducoin. I am not going to slam my last surgeon on here because this is not a review of him, but my hero, Dr. Ducoin. I know Dr. Ducoin didn’t want to do this surgery because of ALL the risks & there were a ton. I knew the morning of surgery that I might be saying goodbye to those I love, but I also knew I was no longer living. Dr. Ducoin explained everything, even things I didn’t want to know, but he did it with compassion, concern. He, also, insisted on informing my family members of the risks. He asked to make sure I had a health care surrogate, my affairs were in order, my decisions made. I went in knowing that I might not make it & if I did my life might be totally different! My surgery was not only a success but better than any of us expected! I am 10 days post-op and feel better than I have in years! And, no it was not done laparoscopically, I have a big ole belly full of staples, but I feel great! This marvelous doctor saved my life, in a firm, informed & compassionate way! If you are looking for a GREAT doctor with a FABULOUS bedside manner, that CARES not only about the patient but the patient’s family, this is your doctor! I also have to commend everyone in his office! They are AMAZING! I have no complaints, not one! This doctor & his staff did what over 20 highly rated doctors, in Tampa Bay, couldn’t or wouldn’t do! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting this wife, mother, Gammie, hug her loved ones for years to come! Barbara (Jones) Keplinger
