Dear Dr. Lepore,
My family and I are so very grateful to you and your team for the outstanding care you have provided to my Dad, associated with his recent surgery in March. We cannot begin to express our appreciation for your aggressive management of this urgent situation, your caring and concern for Dad and Mom, your impressive orchestration of all elements of Dad’s care including a top notch cardiologist and internist, and all of your attentiveness to the entire care process, including arranging home care with a nurse selected personally by you. We realize the surgery you performed with Dr. Samson assisting was very complex and demanding of your skills and represents “world-class” care-we feel very fortunate that Dad is in your hands. Your nurse and office staff have been so helpful and patient focused…Cheryl is “on it!”
I flew down to Sarasota last week and drove Mom and Dad back up north. It was a moment of intense joy for me when we stopped in Mariana, Florida for the night and Dad ordered a 4-piece chicken dinner. I could not help but remember how, when I arrived at their place on his birthday March 6, that he was unable to eat or drink anything but a tablespoon of ice cream.
We are thankful for your many skills and gifts of healing and I have tremendous respect for your abilities. We all wish you the very best in your work and family life. It is reassuring to know that when Dad and Mom are in Florida you are nearby.
– With great appreciation, L.R.
Dear Dr. Samson,
As a child growing up so often I was told God is everywhere. However, as an elderly woman you proved this phrase to be true as you had God in your heart as you gave me life. Literary I am not so please accept these two little words sincerely sent “Thank You” Dr. Samson. My best regards to Dr. Manoy and your O.R. staff at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
Dear Dr. Showalter,
It is with an enormous amount of gratitude and appreciation that I write this letter to you regarding the remarkable surgery you performed on my father.
Thanks to you my 86 year old father has BOTH of his legs and is now walking again! Your skill, and unbelievable expertise, caring and compassion made this possible; for this I am eternally grateful. On behalf of myself, and my entire family, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!– Warm Regards, A.G.
Dear Dr. Lepore,
Again - Thank you for saving my life!
– Love, G.M.
Hi Jennifer,
My Mom and I were in your offices on Friday. You met with us to mark my Mom in anticipation of her carotid artery surgery scheduled with Dr. Nair. I want to thank you for your efforts to make my Mom feel O.K. about her upcoming surgery. Perhaps I will see you again myself at one of my Mom's follow up appointments. By the way, she came through the surgery just fine.

Dr. Samson,
I was in yesterday for an ELVS procedure and wanted to thank you for your attention to detail and professionalism. Your kindness and sense of humor had a very calming effect. Your office staff is always so welcoming and eager to help, and it feels wonderful to recommend you and your practice as an excellent establishment. Thank you for such particular attention on what was obviously a very busy day for you!
