Read what patients of Sarasota Vascular Specialists think about our services and care.

 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the extraordinary care given to me. We need more doctors like you in this world we live in.
- J.C.

 

There were no words I could think of that could adequately express the immense gratitude that my entire family feels for the incredible job you did on my fathers surgery. 'Thank you' just doesn’t seem sufficient enough... Please know that you will be in our thoughts and how very much we appreciate, admire and respect the work you do. You are truly an incredible surgeon.
- R.K.

 

Thank you for saving my life.
- C.M.

 

Many thanks for your care! It is rare to find one who has such exceptional skills to also be a very kind and compassionate doctor.
- J.Z.

 

Sincere appreciation for the wonderful care. We were so very grateful for the care and concern. It was beyond a physician’s responsibility.
- D.H.

 

I would like to acknowledge Rick Morales for his exceptional skill he executed with my leg vein issues. He obviously takes pride in his job and cares about his patients. I have had physicians do the same treatment over the years in Georgia and Alabama. Rick is the best as far as results and less painful. Thank you Rick. You're the best! Really!
- R.S.

 

Thank you so much for your kindness and excellent medical treatment during my recent illness. Your gentle 'bedside manner' was greatly appreciated.
- G.M.

 

I sincerely appreciate the professionalism when you recently examined my legs. Your candor was impressive when you told me that you would not recommend any surgical action unless my condition became painful.

I guess that I am lucky "you did not need to make a car payment". It is a pleasure to deal with a true professional.
- M.B.

 

I wanted to write and thank you for saving my leg recently. The friend who brought me to the emergency room breathed a sigh of relief when you walked into my room. Your reputation and skills are well known and highly regarded. It was apparently my good fortune that you were on call that day, as whenever the question of 'who did your leg' is answered – Showalter – it is universally answered back 'oh you were really lucky.' I am indeed grateful and indebted.
- R.L.

 

I know that everyone must write to you with much gratitude after having you remove their varicose veins, and that this note is just one of many.

Not only is the pain and heaviness that I felt in my leg gone, but also the heaviness that I felt in my heart every time I looked at my leg gone. I just feel so much better about myself. When I would go out on our boat, to the beach or played golf on a 100 degree day, I was the only one in long pants sweating as I didn’t want anyone to look at my leg. I have not worn a dress in years. Yes, I am vain! That was my only flaw- so now I’m perfect!

Regardless, I just want to thank you and your staff and especially Vanessa for the wonderful treatment that I received. Most of all, I want to say thank you for your gentleness and expertise in removing those “mountains”. You gave me back much more than I gave you and you were right when you told me that I would be wasting my money in "lala land." Being awake was fine and I hardly felt anything except a slight sting when giving me the shot of lidocaine. I just can’t stop talking about this miracle treatment for removal of these unsightly veins. If you every have anyone that is nervous or not sure of this procedure, please feel free to give them my name as a reference. I would put their minds and hearts at ease. I wish that I could show them a picture of the before and after.

Again, thank you Dr. Samson, and it was an honor to have met you- you are very special.

I want to express my appreciation for your good and wise care – which I like to think of as clinic engineering!
- E.C.

 

You are an amazing doctor and you have literally given me back my life. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being such an incredible and professional doctor and for just being you.
- S.H.

 

This Thanksgiving and every day we are especially thankful to you for giving Bill back his health, and his life with you care and excellent expertise. You have also been a great example for your patients to follow for good health.  We so appreciate and thank you!
- L.B. & B.B.

 

Your expressions of sympathy about Nancy’s death were deeply appreciated.  The last few years of Nancy’s life were made possible only because of your skills in treating her aneurysm.

I know of no other professional office that has ever done this.

You should know that Nancy always felt that you all were friendly, fully professional and compassionate.  We could ask no more.

I was recently in your office for ultrasound testing which was performed by one of your staff, Ms. Lorraine Kimbler. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that I wish to extend my praise of Ms. Kimbler concerning her expertise and professionalism.

In the past seven years I have had more than my share of encounters with the medical world and the myriad of individuals involved in my testing and treatment. I can honestly state that in all my experiences, Ms. Kimbler stands out in her treatment of, and attitude towards me during the entire experience.

I wanted you to be aware of how appreciative I was of her proficiency, care and explanations, contributing to the making of my experience, a pleasant one. She is a credit to your office.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such wonderful care of my husband. There are no words I can say to express my gratefulness for what you have done. Because of all of you, I now can continue to live a wonderful life with my husband!!! Also, my daughters wanted me to thank you for your expertise work that now allows them to still have their dad in their life. Again, we all truly appreciate what you have done for our family. God bless you all!!!

I am enclosing two photos of Jerry and the “leg you saved”. We are grateful to you for your good work and to your staff and all the others at SMH for professional care and attention.

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.

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.

 

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!

Again - Thank you for saving my life!
– G.M.

 

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.

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!
– G.B.

 

I can't thank you enough for being such a wonderful doctor. You have been a constant source of encouragement, knowledge, and compassion. This has helped in my recovery more than you will ever know.
