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.

Had a successful appendectomy with Dr. Motola. From the start he was very approachable and took his time to explain everything from pre-op to post-op. Was very happy with the care I received from him and his team.

simply special attention
My name is José A Otero. Today I had a surgical procedure at Dr. David Motola's South Miami office. The surgery was a success. The doctor's attention and care were special, leaving me pain-free. Everyone from Dr. David Motola to his assistant, Miriam, was kind and professional. I 100% recommend Dr. Motola at Baptist South Miami if you need surgery.

Gallbladder surgery
The doctor performed a surgery on me in March 2025 at the Baptist Homestead. The surgery went perfect and everyone from the surgeon the nurses and the staff were amazing. The surgery was very precise and the doctor used a robot to make it even more precise.

Dr. Motola is extremely patient, caring, kind, and knowledgeable. It’s refreshing to find a doctor like him in a time when most doctors are so out of touch and rush you to get to the next patient. Highly recommend him and his staff.

Hernia Repair
Dr Motola did my hernia repair (at 25 weeks pregnant). The experience from start to finish was great and very personalized. I had a lot of questions, and anxiety around fixing my hernia while pregnant but he reassured me, and worked with my OB to make sure it was done in the safest way. Would highly recommend if you are in need of a hernia repair.
