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.

I have been seeing Dr. Schuka for about three years. The level of care and compassion from him and the entire staff at West Florida is THE WORST. Had it not been for Covid I would have switched PCPs long ago. I've had to escalate to the office manager 2 times for lack of response. Shame on me for staying with a practice that doesn't care for their patients. Shame on West Florida for not being able to return calls of communicating with their patients.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Dr. Edward A. Schuka, West Florida Physician Group: from the office staff & nursing staff, in addition to his amazing medical expertise, knowledge & advice, especially in today’s medical environment. He coordinated the necessary medical care & creation of a dream team surgical team like the Symphony Conductor, Leonard Bernstein. His constant oversight assures seamless transitions to the next stage of care. The level of expertise exhibited by him prior & after my most complex & complicated spinal surgery involving a significant portion of my spine from C-4 thru T-5, with insertion of rods & screws is 2nd to none. As a physician, he takes the time with his patients to explain the medical issues & the medical options available from the most conservative approach to aggressive procedures that are available. I strongly recommend to everyone to establish their medical care with Dr. Edward A. Schuka. Office staff are courteous & helpful.

After my first appointment with Dr Schuka I left feeling confident I have finally found a good and stable connection for my health care. During this visit I was impressed with the fact he listened to my concerns and investigated all aspects of my previous care. I look forward to a very long and positive relationship with Dr Schuka and the West Florida team.

Needed to see a doctor ASAP and could not get in with my regular doctor. Dr. Schuka was available, so I saw him. He was courteous but a bit reserved. He answered all my questions and made sure the medicines he prescribed did not interfere with my normal daily medications. Would definitely see him again!!
