HCA Florida Heart and Lung - Ocala

I would highly recommend HCA Heart and Lung. Dr Shukla is awesome. He shows compassion, and patience. Not to mention how knowledgeable he is in his field of expertise. I did not feel rushed or like I was wasting his time. He answered all my questions. Took the time to explained everything, to me. His has a wonderful bedside manner. The office staff is also very competent ,pleasant and helpful.

Dr. Shukla is a superb surgeon, and his office staff are extraordinary in their expertise, particularly their knowledge of heart issues. The office is very relaxed and patients are treated with the utmost courtesy. I'm seeing Dr. Shukla for pacemaker implants and the procedures have been flawless.

I was brought in by ambulance and the emergency crew took charge and maintained constant attention with tests and x-rays and provided me with whatever I needed to keep comfortable. I was taken to the second floor in a private room and received the same level of attention by the nurses and the technicians and the doctor on staff, to bring my heart rate down and maintain the rhythm. The monitor that was on me provided information that was needed to make sure I was taken care of, and when it notated rapid heartbeat, the nurse was in immediately checking on me. On top of that the food was great. Everything about my experience was exactly as you would expect it to be from a hospital and I thank you. I've been called twice for a follow up since I've been home and it's obvious there's a genuine concern for the patient. Thank you again.

Bypass surgery is a scary thing. The surgeon, Dr. Bush, did a great job. All of his staff? Well, they were so concerned during and after surgery. They were very professional and nice and I could not have asked for better care. They saw me regularly while I was recovering and they always brought a smile of encouragement with answers to any questions me or my family had. Wonderful and warm office staff at my follow up. I trust this group with my care. Thank you for giving me hope and understanding!
