vanessa cahuas # A Heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Farhaad C. Golkar, MD, FACS I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and recognition to **Dr. Farhaad C. Golkar, MD, FACS**, a board-certified surgeon at **HCA Florida Citrus Surgical Specialists**. Last Wednesday, I underwent gallbladder removal surgery, and from the moment I stepped into the hospital, I was met with an outstanding level of care. The entire experience was nothing short of amazing. The hospital itself felt warm, comfortable, and welcoming, with a team of compassionate professionals who truly go above and beyond for their patients. Dr. Golkar was exceptional—caring, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled. His professionalism and kindness reassured me every step of the way, making what could have been a stressful procedure feel much more manageable. His expertise and attention to detail were evident, and I couldn’t have been in better hands. ### About Dr. Farhaad C.

CCC New Patients Dr. Mane is the best, so personable, knowledgeable, and down right awesome. Gregory and Cheryl are Dr. Manes ARNPs and I cant commend them enough for all they do and the way they treat you like family. This group of medical professional is the best Ive ever been privileged to be treated by.

CJ My husband is one of those men that doesnt like going to the doctor. I finally got him to go get a check up. This was our first time at this doctor and we had the best visit. The doctor has such a wonderful bedside manner. He listened and had great input and feel great about everything that was discussed. And we will be back. Great doctor and great office 100%

Norm Carter Met with Candace, she was very helpful asking questions about my health issues and providing a good plan moving forward. She made a plan for follow up visit. The staff and nurses were great and showed great understanding and caring.

Carrie Strebler I highly recommend Dr Otto. He saved my brothers life where no other surgeons would touch him he was able to perform surgery on my brother and he is doing great.

Jo Laughs I would highly recommend this facility. Everyone is so kind starting with Nicole the receptionist to my nurses Heather and Beth and my Doctor, Dr.Saint. I adore them all. They make me feel like family. You are there for something serious but they make you feel at ease with humor and lots of laughter but extremely professional when it comes to treating your wound. If anyone is ever in a bad mood you couldn’t tell it because everyone wears a smile, I love that. A great Doctor and a great staff.

Heather Martinez My experience here was fantastic. I was in several different units (my favorite being the wound care) and I have never come across such incredible nurses like this anywhere else. The staff was very pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to all of their patients on every unit. Being there as a nursing student was a fantastic experience for me and all of the nurses I had the pleasure of working with were very helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Cary Weatherlow This is my father’s PTP and the staff and Dr are caring and compassionate with the care they provide. They supported us through a tuff time in my dad’s medical issues. We couldn’t have managed without them all in this office fr the nurse to the Dr to the gal who answers the phone!!! Thank you!!!!
