May 12, 2024

Dr. Fansler took over my case when I had to fire my surgeon at Advent Health North Pinellas. The liability that was left behind in my abdominal cavity by Jared Frattini was immeasurable. My death was imminent and without outside intervention guaranteed. Thank you Doctor Fansler, you and the nursing staff saved my life from becoming a victim of Florida's 'free K!ll law' at the hands of ( colorful language excluded ). Sorry it has taken 3 years to write this, the PTSD is real. Thank you again!!!
