The staff that works here makes it fun to be sick. They are warm, caring, friendly and above all, they care enough to listen to you AND remember the conversation you have with them. To me , they are too of the line and none better. Thank you for everything!!
Very efficiently run office. Dr Kamath is a caring doctor about both your physical and mental well being. I highly recommend seeing him.
Dr.Hernandez is one of the finest physicians we have ever dealt with. Very professional and intelligent.Fortunate to have been referred to her.
An extremely professional & positive visit.
Doctor Montero is great, but the 59 th st office in Bradenton needs to improve their patient processing. Been there twice in a month and did not see the Dr. for well over an hour after the scheduled appt time each visit. Not good.
I would love to. Say that my expierance was great
absolutely love Sally and her medical assistant Jessica is always smiling and happy. I never wait long and any questions i have are always answered within the time i am there. I am very grateful to have found dr. kamath at a time i was struggling trying to find answers
I saw Lina and she was absolutely amazing; however, the front desk staff and most other people inside were not wearing masks. Unbecoming of a doctor’s office.
Wonderful doctor and overall human being!
My mom recieved such personalized care from Dr. Follet. She has had many different types of doctors, but Dr. Sally Follet diagnosed her symptoms and fought the insurance company for the medicine required and has helped her more than her …
They are very nice, efficient and good professionals.
Very Happy with Lina Hernandez-it was the 2nd time I had her.I called in the morning and they got me in by 12:30.She was right on time and listened to me and very personable and kind and a thorough check up.I will always ask for her!
Unprofessional and incompetent. Dr. Hernandez’s assistant Jairis Diaz NEVER RETURNS phone calls. When asked about why not returning phone calls, she lied and said she did not receive any phone messages. REALLY???!!!
Dr lina was so caring. Listen to your problems. I was not motivated to get a colonoscopy. But she encouraged me too. Since my dad died of colon cancer. Not alot of drs are as caring. Highly recommended
Lina provided a detailed review of my endoscopy results. She answered all my questions. She was positive and optimistic.
Dr. Kamath did my 1st colonoscopy in 2004. I was only 37 then & it saved my life. Because of my and my family’s history of colon cancer and polyps, I am getting ready for my 5th. …
I have been to the facility three times and each time the experience was excellent. Friendly and professional staff and Dr. Hernandez is both personable and knowledgeable and I would recommend this facility.

Transferred here after dealing with a doctor that I just did not get along with, who refused to listen to me and tell me a med he prescribed could not possibly be making me sick, when every time I took it I got sick. Found a doctor who would actually listen to me.
Good location, modern furnishings in a spotless office, caring professionals.
I waited for over 45 minutes to be seen . My card was charged immeadiately but my appointment time was not kept. No answers other than you are next. I demanded my money back but was told I had to wait for the credit to my account. The …
The staff is very nice, and Lina explained my results to me where I could understand, she was very detailed . The nurses are awesome and funny and Dr.Patel.
I felt very comfortable as many precautions were in place. A very bright clean office. Dr. Hernandez was very thorough in explaining the procedure.
Very kind , incredibly helpful and attentive.
Lina was very nice and really listens to all of my concerns. The surgery went smooth and I feel now I got less to worry about. Everyone there was so nice.
If you need a reasonably priced out of pocket colonoscopy they will provide that. Also warning the Pillcam advertised which is why i had scheduled here in the first place was not actually an option for colon imaging. …
Well run medical practice, did not have to wait months to have a procedure scheduled. I did find out my anesthesia Dr was out of network for my insurance, so I have to pay that bill out of pocket.
My husband had a procedure done, and his insurance was in network with the facility. We later got a bill from the anesthesiologist saying they were out of network and we had owed over $500. Never once, was he explained that he needed to …
I cannot say enough good thing about Dr. Patel and his staff. The office staff was fast and efficient and Dr. Patel’s knowledge and professional manner put me at ease. Talking about bodily functions can be embarrassing, but this was not the case. Thanks for everything.
In 3 years my previous gastro accomplished less than Dr Hernandez and Florida Digestive did in 4 weeks . Abosolute 10 stars !!!
All of the staff was very respectful and kind. My Dr. was very helpful and genuinely inquisitive about what she can do to help me get better.
Upon our first meeting with Sally, she was kind, non judgemental and professional. She was very knowledgeable and communicated very clearly. We look forward to continuing our treatment with her at the helm.

Dr. Kamath really cares about the well-being of his patients. He has a wonderful manner of addressing the entire person not just the medical issue for which you are seeing him.

The entire staff are very friendly and helpful. Dr.Kamath is absolutely fantastic!! There are no words to explain how much I love Dr.Kamath. He is kind, gentle and explains things until he is sure you understand what he was telling you. I have referred a lot of my friends when they needed a gastro doctor.
Lena is the nicest Doctor I’ve ever met , very very knowledgeable and a wonderful human being, which is a plus these days. I can’t recommend her enough, she also actually listens to your concerns.
I could have been told if I still have Gall Bladder Polyps. That was the MAIN reason for my C.T. scan ? I asked for, and was given samples of 60 mg Dexillant, the strongest dose. I was not instructed on how much to take, or how much I used to take. Now I have stomach pain concerns.
Lina Hernandez is great to work with, she’s smart and personable, I trust her knowledge and feel very comfortable with her

Professional yet caring staff. Knowledgeable medical staff. Very supportive experience.
It has been almost a month since being seen at the drs office and still no meds filled. Despite me calling the office at least once a day for 30 days straight. Dr Lena’s assistant is rude and doesn’t call back. Not to mention husband is in pain no response no nothing! Don’t care about patients at all!
Thank you Lena Hernandez For your help and guidance. You are a kind and compassionate doctor and I appreciate you so much. Thanks again.

Terrible service at this place. How is this getting 5 star reviews? My wife can’t get responses from this group for copies of paper work. She can’t get anyone on the phone and you get a strong sense of being just a number to them.
I decided to go to Florida Digestive Specialist because of the many positive reviews online. I was cautious because of the many times I have seen doctors and they never lived up to the hype. Well I was VERY pleased and relieved that all the …
I’m switching insurance next year and have get approval from the insurance. Dr. Lena was very helpful
Dr. Kamath was the most caring and understanding doctor. What a great man filled with humor, compassion, and care.
Be VERY wary. Staff and doctors are very kind, but doctors are inexperienced. They do not have the knowledge to treat anything non-routine. I was misdiagnosed and had to start all over with a different facility.
Nice, friendly office & staff. Dr. Kamath was friendly, engaging & answered my questions. Would highly recommend!!
This place is great the staff and doctors are extremely nice answers all my questions and told me what to do to continue to stay healthy thanks again to the staff & doctors …

Dr Hernandez is the kindest doctor I’ve ever met with. I had a serious problem that I’ve been dealing with for years, spent countless dollars and gone to many doctors. I was dismissed and my pain wasn’t taken seriously. Dr Hernandez was so …
Dr K is probably the most kind and caring doctor I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his clients and spends quality time with them to discuss a wide range of topics related to their well-being. I cannot say enough good things about the doctor, and the man, he is. I am lucky to have found him years ago.
Friendly staff, make you feel comfortable, dr Herandez listens and explains everything.
Everybody is so nice. Dr Kamarh I the best. He kind & considerate he listens and listens to what you say
Excellent staff; efficient, timely, thorough, and very courteous. I would recommend this office to anyone seeking digestive testing and treatment.
Everyone was very nice & friendly, just like when I had my endoscopy last month. Thank you all, have a Happy Thanksgiving
Wonderful and caring doctor. I am so glad he is fathers doctor. Dr K. Is very compassionate and caring.

Ezee was gracious and compassionate, while going above and beyond getting me in with Dr. Hernandez immediately. Excellent communication, follow through and perseverance. …
Went to see Jay Kamath for issue I had at the ER. He suggested upper GI to see what the problem was. My results came back with a number of findings, all of which he did not explain and blew me off, telling me I am healthy, even though I …
Dr Kamath and the staff were top notch A #1 again!! No one likes to have a endoscopy procedure done but since it can save your life YOU SHOULD and have it done with Dr Kamath. He’s the best Dr for the job smart, efficient, caring and has …
The whole Medical Staff makes you feels in comfort!!! Great 😌 facilities!!!!!! 10 Stars ⭐️ can Give the Specialist Group. Real make an appointment and you will feels the same Experience i feels!!!! …
Ms. Hernandez is thorough and professional. However, I do not like that the practice will not let me be seen by an MD, and that it refers to Ms. Hernandez as a Doctor when she is not a Medical Doctor
Doctor was very nice and extremely thorough. I like how she explained everything to me and showed me pics. I already recommended someone to her.
Big problem can’t get a human on the phone. Try to call get an answering machine. Been waiting since 8/3 2022 to get lab results no luck no one calls back. This problem needs attention immediately. Good Doctors but lack of communication. Please make changes so it does not cause anxiety for your patients. Thank you Buell Vann
Very nice staff and Dr Nina very nice Doctor very understanding with the help of wife with me. THANKS to all.
Dr. Kamath cares for his patients; asking important questions and listens carefully.
His sense of humour and pleasantness are certainly contagious.
Dr. Hernandez was very friendly and so nice. She listened to my problems, checked my stomach, we talked and gave my solutions of what to do! Very professional. 5/5 stars.
The doctor was wonderful.
He has a wonderful personality for a doctor because usually they’re very bland.
He knows exactly what he’s talking about he’s thorough.
I would definitely recommend him to anybody.
Lina Hernandez was very patient and thorough. Very happy with my visit.
Dr.Hernandez was very patient and thorough. She answered all my questions. The administration staff was also very pleasant and helpful. I would absolutely recommend her and this office.
Friendly, Respectful of my time, Courteous, explained previous findings, listened to questions and provided detailed answers. Highly recommend this office.
My experience with Dr. Lina Hernandez was amazing. She was extremely patient and comforting while I was having anxiety and in severe pain due to a GI issue. She advised me on what to do and within 24 hours I had relief. The office was very clean and the staff was friendly as well!
I was very nervous to have a procedure in this place. Their staff was amazing. The nurses made me feel comfortable and less scared and really reassured me that it was going to be fine. I had a positive experience here. Dr Saline was amazing …

Office staff is friendly and helpful. Lydia Hernandez was extremely engaging, informative and through. Keep up the good work😃 …
Doctors were very professional. However, clerical staff failed to follow up in referring me to a sugeon. In spite of a call to remind them, there was still no action. I made the contact myself since I needed surgery.
The worst doctor I have ever dealt with in my life. They could literally care less if my child dies of Crohn’s Disease. We have been trying to get their meds for 6 months. Would never recommend them to anyone.
Dr Lina Hernandez was awesome. She and her staff made me feel really comfortable and Doc was very informative. Would suggest
Dr. Patel is wonderful. He listens to you, makes you feel comfortable, and explains everything so you clearly understand. The office staff is great!
Update: I still haven’t received a call back (months now) and to add insult to injury, they appear to have mixed up my billing information with someone else’s. This place is a joke. Now I don’t even trust that my results are accurate. …
Dr. Kamath was great. I felt like I was talking to a family member. He was very patient and intently listened to my concerns. I did not feel like I was being rushed at any time
Stay away. They will keep telling you to do a colonoscopy and try to sell you services you don’t need. This place is all about making profit. Be aware lot of hidden charges. I was charged for a follow up call for them to tell me the test results.
I have had horrendous stomach, intestine problems from my teenage years. I have seen a handful of gastroenterologists over the decade, but I never built a relationship with any of them. The interactions were always transactional. …
My insurance company provided me with several nearby doctors when I inquired about a colonoscopy. I chose Florida Digestive Specialists because of the proximity to my home. My experience was exceptional in every respect. I filled out the …
They have the WORST customer service I have EVER encountered. Whether it’s scheduling or a refund, they NEVER call back when they say they will. I am waiting for a refund for 5 weeks, after being told weekly that it would be processed! …
The doctor actually sat down and talked with me about my conditions and tests that she wants to do. She also showed me pictures and explained what everything meant about my test results. One of the better experiences I’ve had with a GI doctor
I was very pleased with every aspect of the procedure. It was not likely that the colonoscopy could be done as schedule because although I had followed preparations to the letter my colon would have been too cloudy based on the consistency …
Excellent doctor. Dr. Kamath is very positive, optimistic & spiritual person.
He is very passionate for his patients & dedicated towards his practice.
No unnecessary testing, minimum waiting time, and very friendly doctor. …
FDS provides high quality care. I, personally, see Dr. Lina and feel that she takes time to listen and evaluate. She answers questions and ensure you understand. I highly recommend this practice!
Overall, this is a clean and qualified clinic. It’s a busy place so be patient because it may take a couple days for someone to follow up or call back. Lina Hernandez DNP, ARNP is great. Very professional with a good bedside manner.
Dr. Lina listens attentively and takes time necessary to help you understand what is going on. She does not rush out; she asks if you have more questions. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
I was VERY PLEASED seeing Dr. Hernandez. I think the most important thing a doctor can do is to listen to a patient and she did that extremely well. She was attentive and kind and I appreciate that so very much. Thank you!
Everyone was great. They were playing catch up from the hurricane the day before so my time ran way off. Charlie and Bill really made me feel relaxed. I will see them in 5 years. Great Job
I am a very recent patient of Dr. Patel. From the scheduling process to my colonoscopy, I have nothing but good things to say about this medical practice and the staff. I was treated with kindness and concern for my health. The front staff …
I got an appointment for a routine colonoscopy quickly. Making the appointment was easy, the facility is easy to find, the people who checked me in and out were respectful, friendly and helpful. The appointment was well organized, I liked …
I have met with Dr. Kamath and Dr. Patel. Both were very knowledgeable, pleasant and professional. They took the time to explain everything and to answer questions. Dr. Patel performed the procedure and all aspects of the process were fine. Great staff! I highly recommend them.
This is my first colonoscopy. The staff is wonderful and supportive from beginning to end. I would like to give my gratitude to Dr. Linaflor Hernandez for making me feel welcome. Thank you to her pinkness Jennifer for her detailed …
This was a very professional, clean and friendly office. Lina was kind, patient and answered all my questions. Gave me advise on how to taper off medication and good information on diet and keeping digestive system working good. Brittany my …
I had to wait several weeks to get an appointment as a new patient, but my first appointment proved to be an excellent experience. It was easy to sign in, I was seen within 10 minutes of my appointment time, and Dr. Hernandez was …
Staff is very courteous and polite!The office from front to back is very cleanly. Dr.Hernandez has great bed side manners. She was thorough & detailed. And has my best interest at hand.I would highly recommend her! Best decision I made switching to her from my old gastroenterologist!
THE BEST GI office around. Everyone took their time to explain everything to me. They all took their time and answered all 100 of my questions. No rushing at all. As this office handles delicate and private matters that many are not …
Booking for appointment is super easy. Staff members super friendly and checking in/out is very efficient. The office is clean and well-maintained. And the icing of the cake is, my provider, Dr. Linaflor Hernandez is very knowledgeable in …
