Collier Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery - Naples (FL)

Alice Gallahue I have been a patient of Dr Tunkle since I became a snowbird almost 20 years ago. She has always treated me with kindness and will sit and listen and answer any questions I have. I would highly recommend her.

Bart I was admitted through the ER and I dont even have the words to express just how impressed I was with the staff here. They were clearly well trained and knowledgeable. They were efficient, yet thorough. The triage team was amazing. They anticipated each others moves and they were able to get me taken care of quickly. Every test has been explained before it was performed. The hospitalist and specialists worked together and were in close contact. They were able to provide my meds (which is a surprise since its a specialty medication and quite expensive). I was expecting to share a room with an elderly combative patient, but I didnt. I was given a single room and it was like a suite in a hotel. I was just blown away. I have a medical background and I catch mistakes, but the performance here has been second to none. The food isnt that great, but its edible and I e had worse. Any time I needed anything nurses and techs were right on it. They gave me clear instructions for using everything in the room (TV, phone, call button). They gave me an abundance of pillows and blankets. I have really been through the ringer the last couple days. I got to experience my second LP. I didnt even feel it. Not at all. Im not even sore from it. Ive been in many different healthcare settings and this is by far one of the top hospitals Ive been to. My nurses have helped keep my spirits up. Its really a pleasant experience for unpleasant times. If I ever have to get admitted to a hospital again, this will be my first choice. Id also like to say Ive seen this place at its worse during COVID. Its been a completely different experience. When I was first here I walked out after waiting 19 hours with no food stuck in a chair in the hallway. Its really great to see that things have slowed down a bit for them. Im going to tell my friends to come here. Theyve earned my trust and thats a hard thing to do, I dont generally trust doctors or hospitals because of my background and what I witness at places. People make mistakes, ppl fall through the cracks. Im really happy I made the decision to choose Gulf Coast. Theyve made a difficult time a lot easier to handle. You dont get that often.

Donna McDermott Saw Megan H , APRN today who was such a delight and well informed it was amazing. Will never go back to other Urgent Care Offices here in Naples. She spent a good amount of time with me and answered all my questions. I was very impressed. Wish I could give her a 5 plus rating. The other office staff was very professional but could smile more.

Roe Lou “Weezie” Huge thank you to all the rapidly caring staff I encountered in my ER visit. Especially Dr Hunter Brown. He was very attentive, listened to me, very through. I had an excellent nurse as well and Im sorry I dont remember his name but he was a blessing as well. All the other staff from CT techs , to x-rays were great. This is not my first visit to this ER and I highly recommend it to anyone. I am a retired nurse and can be a little.... pushy , but everyone went above and beyond to comfort me. My experience was top notch and I have no complaints.

Jim Bolonda My 81 year wife needed swift response blood tests as we prepared for wrist surgery. The Eagleview Lab moved schedules, pulling out all stops to accommodate her needs. Sophanie Baptiste and Shannon Boodhwani were the best. These two need to be recognized for going the extra extra mile to help.They are credit to your group.

Ling Chen This is how the health care system should be run for the entire country. Great service! Thank you all the volunteers!

JE M Right before Christmas 2024, my Naples GP referred me to Dr. Sharla Patterson after a positive biopsy. Dr. Patterson was also highly recommended by a Naples reconstruction breast surgeon. That very week I was scheduled for an initial appointment and surgery was scheduled within 10 days. It was such a relief to have the treatment and action plan in place so quickly. Dr. Patterson is very warm and personable, and never rushed. She allows you the time to process what you are learning about your diagnosis and treatment and then, more time to form your questions. She tries to make sure your questions are answered fully. Overall I could not be more pleased with the care team at Magnolia Breast Center.
