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.

Best doctor and OBGYN office around!
The best care I have ever received! The whole team is so kind and caring and Dr. Sullivan was so so supportive throughout the entire pregnancy. My birth was a wonderful experience! I had to have a planned C-section and was afraid it would be traumatic like my first experience. But it wasn't at all! I felt so safe and supported the whole time and was able to do immediate skin to skin with my baby while still in the OR and listen to my playlist! The team in there was wonderful talking me through everything and easing any anxiety I had. And the recovery was a night and day difference experience from my first C-section. Dr. Sullivan is such a skilled surgeon and I healed so much faster than my first time. Cindy Morris who was my doula was also there for me the whole time and so wonderfully supportive and Krista who is one of the nurses on staff is a lactation specialist and has been helping me now with nursing. If you are looking for the best OBGYN office around this is the place to go!

Best doctor you can find! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Every time I go in I never feel like they are rushing to get me out. Sullivan and Aleica (midwife) are both outstanding! They both have a beautiful way of calming you down if you’re anxious! If you are looking for calm and caring people , this is the place! You won’t find a better Dr ??????

Only one I’d trust to deliver my babies
Dr. Sullivan is the kindest soul I have ever met. He was my provider during all 3 of my pregnancies and was referred by a friend who had gone through 3 with him herself. My first pregnancy was a loss at 18 weeks 5 days. He called me the next night before bed to check in on me. 2nd pregnancy was a breeze. 3rd pregnancy I had some minor complications post birth, and baby was born with a known isolated defect. He gave me his cell number to message my progress over the weekend and came in on a Saturday morning to examine me. Yes, sometimes I had to wait up to an hour or more, but honestly I would have waited the whole day to have him be my provider during my pregnancies. Best of the best OB/GYN and such a sincere man in general. He always asked to see pics of my babies/kids and spoke of them by name at routine appointments over the years too.

Front desk staff are rude and inefficient. They cannot provide information, send documents. My shortest waiting time in my three years there was 45 minutes, no apology for tardiness. Dr said I needed surgery as he wasn't sure of what was wrong after 2 ultrasounds and found only scar tissue from three cesareans and tube ligation (of which he was advised). Thanks, that was 8k! Surgery was unnecessary. Did not solve or explain the reason for the original concern, which is just part of being menopausal I then discovered. Nurse practitioner was very nice in her manner but equally incapable of explaining/dealing with symptoms that originally took me there. I moved to another OBGyn, Sullivan's office never forwarded my file in spite of 3 phone calls and 2 letters.

I have been a patient for 24 years. He is soft spoken , kind in bedside and explains everything. He delivered 2 of my children and we credit him for saving our son who had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. He was there at the hospital ( not just flying in at the 11th hour for delivery) and thank goodness, he performed an emergency C-Section and our beautiful baby boy is now 23! His staff is also wonderful...best OB/GYN practice anywhere!

We were new to the area when my daughter took a "P" test to find out she was expecting a baby. We were worried that it would be hard to get a great OBGYN, since we were not yet established in the area. Dr. Sullivan was recommended by a friend so we left a message. Bright and early the following morning, Joy called to make arrangements for Dr. Sullivan's staff to see my daughter. Her names fits her well since she was a pure "JOY" to talk to and calmed us down quickly. I am speaking as a mom who was being a bit overprotective, while hoping to bring peace to anyone's heart who selects this practice to bring new life into this world. These folks are amazing; their professionalism, kindness and patience makes us know that we are in good hands. Thank you!

Dr.Sullivan has delivered 5 out of 6 of my children. The only reason he didn’t deliver my first is because I didn’t know of him at that time. He is the most outstanding, kind, educated, and professional doctor I have ever dealt with. NEVER rushes me through any questions and concerns, always smiling, and has a way of calming you in the most stressful situations. His staff is fabulous!!! All the girls are so sweet and attentive to your needs and or concerns. Constance is a sweetheart and very easy to talk to. I would never even so much as consider another office. When I had my last baby, my fiancé’s sister said, “He’s the best doctor, when I have a baby, I’m going to him.” I absolutely recommend Dr.Sullivan and his staff 1000% and to anyone!

Terrible doctor who talks to their patients in a very inappropriate and demeaning manner. Does not address any concerns, but instead rushes you out of the room when you are actually frightened about a health concern. I would stay far away from this doctor if you're looking for a professional who is kind and thorough with their patients and does not demean them! Oh and you will have to call them a billion times for lab results and you will still never get them. I've never met a worse doctor!

First time mom and doctor Sullivan was more than I could have asked for. Total God send of a doctor. I had multiple people recommend him, and I am so grateful I listened. At times the wait was long-but it’s worth it. He does not rush you and makes you so comfortable. He did my cesarean and everything went so smoothly. 5 stars! His nurses and front desk are the sweetest too! I did not love the NP though.

I went to my appointment, but it was cancelled without my being notified. I was rescheduled for a 2:00 apt. After 45 minutes, the receptionist, who never looked up at me, said that I was "next". After more than an hour and a half, during which six women were taken in for their appointments, I asked the receptionist when I would be seen. She said that I was next, and turned her back to me. I reminded her that she had said that more than 30 minutes before. I left, feeling she was very rude.

I would recommend Dr. Sullivan to any female in the Sarasota/Bradenton area in need of an OBGYN. He is kind, understanding and has the innate ability to keep you calm in the most stressful of situations. He understands the advancements of medicine and the constant need to keep up with technology and modern medicine. Without a doubt Dr. Sullivan is in practice because he truly cares about his patient's well-being. You can trust Dr. Sullivan.
