A week ago I was admitted to the hospital with severe upper abdominal pain. After the usual workups Dr. Paul came in to see me and gave me my results. His bedside manner was incredibly upbeat, calming and reassuring. When he left the room I knew I was in good hands. After the surgery he explained how really bad the gall bladder was and how difficult it was to remove laparoscopically. Not only that he found I had an umbilical hernia which he repaired. I had my 1 week follow-up today and everything looks good. The nurses in the hospital also put me at peace when they told me how many of them have had surgery with Dr. Paul and how happy they were. The bottom line is this: if you need a general surgeon at Indian River Hospital, Dr. Paul should be #1 on your list!

I have had two major surgeries this year by Dr. Paul. Both were as good an experience as could be expected with no complications and excellent recoveries. The level of expertise and follow up care from Dr. Paul and his staff has been exceptional.

The entire procedure went very smoothly. Dr Paul answered all my questions and there was minimal post op pain. The small incision healed up rapidly & after 2 weeks is hardly visible.

I had an emergency trip to Cleveland Clinic resulting from appendicitis. After surgery by Dr. Paul, I was back to feeling great in just a few days. For the office follow up visit, Dr. Paul and his staff were friendly and efficient. Dr. Paul is kind and addressed my concerns. Most important, Dr. Paul is a highly qualified and educated surgeon.

testimonials


  • "Five stars are not enough... Dr. Paul and his staff, Janice and Emilie, met me at the beginning of my breast cancer journey. Their regard and genuine attention to my anxiety helped to assuaged my fear, helping to replace it with hope by actively listening and ensuring I was well-informed to make well-educated choices in my treatment plan. Their professionalism and patient-care approach cannot be measured in stars... Thank you!"

  • "Dr. Paul did a fine job installing a chemo port and removing a sizeable cyst from my back. While he did prescribe something to handle pain, if I needed, I did not. In fact at bed time I took two Tylenol, just in case and, as it turned out, I did not even need that. Super job by the good doctor and his team. Thank you all. I could not have asked for or expected a better result."
    - Rod R.

  • "I only had a consultation thus far for an upcoming surgery. He was very attentive and answered all my questions thoroughly. He didn’t treat me like a number to get to the next patient. He explained the procedure and how he will go about correcting the problem. I feel confident leaving my life in his hands."
    - Travaris W.

  • "He has a wonderful bedside manner. Makes you feel totally comfortable takes time to listen and explains himself in a way you understand. The office was clean and very well decorated. The front office staff was also super nice!"

  • "After being diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time I knew what came next, surgery! 11 years ago I went to Jacksonville for my mastectomy, Mayo Clinic was the best. Well, after seeing Dr.Paul it was without a doubt that he was the best doctor for me. From my first appointment his staff was kind, informative and knowledgeable. Dr.Paul explained everything to me, his bedside manner was impeccable! He will be in my prayers from this day forward!"
