Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible human being acting like a doctor.
I get there 15 minutes before my appointment time as I was asked to was not called back into an exam room for 40 minutes then sat in the exam room for another hour before the doctor comes in and spends a total of 15 minutes with me and tells me he can't do anything for me that I should go to USF. Told me to keep taking laxatives daily that it was okay. Where did he get his license?

Waste of time and money
Waste of my time and money. The doctor didn't even do an exam, just told me to schedule a colonoscopy. Why did I have to come in and pay a copay to be told I need to schedule a colonoscopy? This could’ve been done over the phone if he had no intention of doing an exam. I wait an hour and a half for nothing. Also, wrong information was given to me regarding the colonoscopy and now I won't be able to do the exam. Today was a complete waste of my time and money.

Wasted my time and money – Oct 29, 2024

Saved My Life While I Was On Vacation
I was vacationing with young family members, two 8 year old's and one 6 year old. A day after arriving at our vacation spot in St. Pete Beach, an excruciating pain woke me up at 5:00 a.m. The closest adult family member was 3 hours away. After my family reached me, I was rushed to Pasadena Hospital where I was met by the ER team. After conducting a scan, it was determined that I was close to a ruptured appendix. The ER team called Dr. Sigle (whom was the doctor on call and an expert on the colon, etc.) to come in. Glad it was not a pediatrist on call LOL! Within 2 hours I was rolled into the operating room for emergency surgery. Here I was in a city far from home with no family. But after my meeting in pre-op with Dr. Sigel, I was completely at peace and knew with certainty that I was in the greatest surgical hands. Surgery was so successful that I was discharged within 24 hours. I am making the 3 hour drive back for follow up because of my great experience.:)

My exceptional experience under Dr. Sigle's care.
What really impressed me about Dr. Sigle was that he is very caring with patients, is a fighter for his patients care, a great listener, has great bedside manner. He goes above and beyond his professional duties, he goes above and beyond with his humanity and his compassion. After my extensive surgery, Dr. Sigle visited me at my hospital recovery room, more than three times a day, to help about my post-surgery recovery. After the discharge from the hospital, Dr. Sigle accommodated by fitting me in his very busy schedule, to visit his office for consultation. Every single question I have, after all, Dr, Sigle took time to answer and help me with his medical advice. I can't thank Dr. Sigle enough. I would highly recommend Dr. Sigle to anybody who need any type of care or surgery for any colon rectal conditions. Dr. Sigle created a very wonderful staff working around him, and I would like to thank them as well. GOD BLESS DR. SIGLE!

Dr. Sigle seriously saved my life. Not only is his bedside manor amazing but he truly cares! I had 3 other surgeons tell me I couldn't get my Jpouch surgery and Dr. Sigle took a chance on me (obviously letting me know it's not guaranteed) and I feel amazing! I highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Dr. Sigle for taking that chance!

I appreciated getting an appointment quickly. What i did not appreciate was the big sales job. I also thought was poor medicine was spending a few minutes with the patient , charging $600 for the visit to the insurance company which couldnt have been longer then 5 minutes, taking my large co pay, then billing me an additional large amount for a anoscopy. Its all so dishonest. So wrong and dishonest. WRONG.. All should have been included in the office visit.take advantage of people!
