Patient Reviews
Jun 07, 2024
One of the Best! Originally met Dr. Vaikunth at St Joseph’s North where he was on call from his home hospital in New Port Ritchey. He surgically corrected an impacted bowel I had back in 2/2024 on an emergency basis. His bedside manner was great and his explanation and advice on the procedure was top notch. Made my wife and I feel confident and at ease with all decisions. When I needed a hernia repaired, there was no question who I wanted in my corner even though it meant traveling over an hour to see him at his office and Bayfront hospital in New Port Ritchey. Dr. Vaikunth is the definition of a great surgeon and my willingness to travel as far as I did to see him a second time is my testament to my admiration and heartfelt thanks to him! Thank you Dr. Vaikunth!
