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.

Getting referred to a gynecological oncologist is stressful, but Dr. South eased my concerns. She had profound knowledge of the procedures, with a calming bedside manner to present options and ways forward. The best part is she answered ALL my questions, her willingness to take the time to address everything on my mind and not making my husband and I feel rushed cannot be overstated. Her surgery team were professional, very communicative and reassuring on the day of surgery. Dr. South was there when I woke up and immediately informed my husband of the progress and projected outcomes. I could not have been in better hands.

Dr. South is wonderful. My experiences with her are great. The office staff is a different story. Though the receptionist is very pleasant and seems to want to help, the other people don't seem to care. Because they forgot to call for a referral I ended up paying for a visit. Then because they didn't follow up I also ended up having to pay Quest. That appointment ended up costing me over $200. I called over and over again and contacted my primary physician and insurance company to help them straighten this out but they never once called me back. So unfortunately I will not be able to do the rest of my followups as I cannot trust the office staff to be professional and can't afford another mistake like this one.

I was referred to Dr. South because of having pain in the lower right side of the abdomen. Dr. South listened to me, answered all of my questions, and from the very first visit she made me feel that she truly cared about my well-being. The day she operated on me I was calm because I had full confidence on her. She made sure I was as comfortable as possible before and after the surgery. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate.

I had my first visit with her today and found her to be very caring, really interested in what you have to say! She does not make you feel rushed at all, that is remarkable! I found her office staff to be very pleasant, but obviously, they don't ever answer the phone, I actually think they have the ringer turned off because I was there for over 2 hours and I never heard the phone ring once! I got lost trying to find the place, (it's a hidden gem) so I called the office to get specific directions and no one answered the phone at all other than that, my first visit was GREAT!

I liked Dr South but the follow up and communication is terrible. The office staff does not return calls. Ever. She suggested surgery pending a scan. The scan was never ordered. I left messages about this that were never returned.

I love the doctor, but her office staff is terrible. They have NEVER returned a phone message or called me back to answer a question in the five months I have been her patient. I had an 8:00 appointment, and the staff did not pull into the parking lot until 8:00. When the office lights came on at 8:05, the receptionist went to her computer and ignored me through the glass door. I knocked on the door, and she unlocked it and turned on her heel—did not open the door for me, smile, or say good morning. She was unpleasant throughout our interactions on every visit. There were no paper towels in the bathroom. The toilet paper was almost out. Taken together, this paints a picture of a lazy staff that doesn’t give this fine doctor the sort of service her patients deserve.

Doctor south is caring and knowlegeable. My gynecologist paid her the highest of compliments saying if it were her or her mom needing the robotic radical hysterectomy that I was facing due to the type of cancer I was diagnosed with, Dr. South would be her choice because she had seen her perform surgery and was impressed. As a patient that has undergone this procedure under done by Dr. South, I too highly recommend her. With Dr. South and her staff, you are more than just another number.

Dr. South recommended a hysterectomy. Second opinion at Moffit was to use cream; surgery would be the WORST possible solution in this case. Proposing surgery when Premarin completely solved the problem is very troublesome.
