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.

Today, I had my post-op visit with Dr Wideroff following my left inguninal surgical repair. Again, I was truly amazed what a caring and communicative surgeon he is. He, again, made me feel so comfortable during this visit. When I have to recommend a surgeon in South Florida - he's my man.

Dr.Wideroff came highly recommended to me by my general doctor for a bilateral hernia repair. During the consult I was very impressed with the amount of time that Dr.Wideroff took to explain what would take place before ,during and after my surgery which was put me at ease as it is never an easy decision to commit to having any type of surgery. Post surgery I am very happy to recommend Dr.Jonathan Wideroff as I found him to be a very skilled and professional surgeon with a good bedside manner.

Dr. Wideroff is a kind and caring surgeon. I was extremely sick when I went to him. He was caring and gentle. He explained, in detail, how I would feel after the surgery and he was spot on! I feel like I owe my life to this amazing man! His surgery skills are second to none. If you need help - THIS IS YOUR MAN!

I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Wideroff. I was suffering from long term abdominal pain and was extremely fearful as my symptoms did not follow what I knew to be typical Gallbladder distress. During my initial visit with Dr. Wideroff he asked me very comprehensive questions and within no time diagnosed my Gallbladder Inflammation. Three weeks later he operated on me and I currently on the road to recovery. He is truly exceptional and would inequitably put my health back in his hands.

I was fortunate to have Dr. Wideroff as my surgeon for gall bladder surgery. He explained and discussed all aspects of my surgery, and more important, also answered my wife's concerns. My surgery was complicated by weakened tissue near the surgery area caused by Leukemia, but Dr. Wideroff was still able to perform laparoscopic surgery successfully rather than the older method which would have caused a larger cut. I also noticed Dr. Wideroff's superb surgical reputation. My other physicians all commented on his excellent skills, but one unusual comment was when I was in the hospital (before surgery) and Dr. Wideroff had stopped by knowing surgery was going to occur. After he left my patient room, another nurse (who was not my nurse) commented that "Dr. Wideroff was an excellent surgeon and I was lucky to have him as my surgeon". This kind of candid, off the cuff remark says-it-all regarding his excellent surgical reputation.

I was in serious trouble with a very bad hernia. When I described my problem I was told to come right in. Dr. Winter changed his schedule to get me in for surgery. Besides being a great doctor he has great humanity and caring. I can’t say enough good things. He is the best

There are not enough positive comments I can make regarding Dr. Wideroff. His professionalism and bedside manner is beyond compare. From the moment I met him I knew I have found the best possible surgeon. He listened to my concerns and address each one individually. My first visit to Dr. Wideroff was for a consultation for an integral hernia that was a concern of mine. He took his time with the examination and then explained all my options and exactly what the surgery would entail and what I would go through during the healing process. In no way did he try and convince me that the surgery needed to be done at once. After leaving his office I felt I had all the information needed to make a decision as to having the surgery or not. I did have the surgery and everything he told me was spot on. During my recovery period I had no surprises as Dr. Wideroff had told me exactly what to expect. It is now going on five weeks since my surgery and I’m fully back to normal.

As a former surgeon I know how to select someone to operate on me. Dr Wideroff is a true surgeon’s surgeon. My hernia surgery had me only hurt for a day (managed by pain meds). Almost zero swelling. I’m doing great just a few days post op. He should be your #1 choice he was mine.

Dr. Wideroff repaired my inguinal hernia on 4/2/19. My entire experience with him was simply fabulous. He thoroughly and patiently answered all of my questions. He relieved any stress that I had about having surgery. For example, he takes extra precautions to ensure that his patients do not come down with an infection post-surgery. The surgery was an absolute success and my recovery was smooth, quick and uneventful. I returned to work (office) the week following surgery. I would give Dr. Wideroff an “A++” and would definitely refer him to anyone needing surgery (in his areas of expertise). However, don’t take my word for it—Dr. Wideroff was recommended to me by “4” doctors.
