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 will absolutely recommend others to Moffitt!

Dr Otto is definitely a cut above! She is extremely knowledgeable, and very willing to take the time to answer questions and explain. She has always made us feel that she truly cares about us, like we are family. She has been treating our mother and we are so thankful to God for her! She is delightful!

Dr. Otto performed a thyroidectomy on me. She answered my questions prior to surgery and post surgery in a timely manner. My surgical scar is barely noticeable after only 3 weeks. Thank you Dr. Otto!

In the last week in May 2013, I began Chemo & Radiation treatments at The Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL.
I had Stage 4, Squamous Cell Carcinoma at the base of my tongue & in 2 lymph nodes in my neck & no insurance.
Thankfully, Moffitt agreed to treated me for free. Dr. Otto was my primary care physician at Moffitt, & she was awesome!
Dr. Otto, along with the other doctors at The Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa , saved my life.
Thank You Dr. Otto, & keep wearing those Sassy Boots!

Dr Otto recently performed thyroid surgery on my husband. She and her staff where professional and knowledgeable from our first visit, presurgical appointment and testing through the surgery and post op. Would not think twice about driving the 2 hours one way to her office.

Very clueless doctor! Didn't know who her patient was! If you're not having a surgical procedure she wants nothing to do with you. I would not recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Otto performed a thyroidectomy on me at Moffitt Cancer Center an did an excellent job! Throughout the process Dr. Otto was very informative and confident. I am very happy with my results, my incision is very clean, straight, and after only two months the scar has shrunk significantly and is already starting to fade. She had some experience in cosmetic surgery so I feel lucky to have had her as my surgeon. She is a great Doctor, highly recommend.
