I decided to try EMSCULPT NEO to improve my core strength and help with some ongoing muscle issues, and I’m really glad I did. The sessions were quick, completely painless, and I noticed real improvements within a few weeks. The staff was great and very attentive. If you’re considering body contouring in Tampa, this is definitely worth it.

Dr. Amshel and his surgical staff are an excellent choice if you need umbilical hernia surgery. They are professional and courteous through out the entire process. Pre operation was informative and detailed about the process. All my questions were answered before surgery. The day of my surgery went seamlessly and I was kept comfortable and informed while waiting for the surgery to begin. Dr. Amshel saw me before and after to answer all my questions. And…. Called me the next day to see how I was doing and if I had any other questions! Overall it was a great experience for having a surgery! I always felt I was in good hands!

I needed a colonoscopy due to my family history, and chose Dr. Amshel of Absolute Surgical Specialists based on Google reviews. I chose wisely. In the initial consultation, I was led to the examining room by Angie, and she is an absolute angel. Very kind and upbeat. She is the first person a patient is with and she is perfect in that role. Her kindness is very calming. She is just the person I would want in my organization, if I had an organization. 10 stars. I was seen by PA Amshel (yes, there are two folks named Amshel in this office, the PA and the Doctor) and she was very informative and caring. She asked about my history and any symptoms I might be experiencing, and answered all the questions that I had. I left there knowing much more than when I walked in. PA Amshel, you are just splendid. I was set up with a colonoscopy date. I went to the surgical center, and the entire procedure was efficient and gave me great confidence in the staff. Dr. Amshel introduced himself and gave me a rundown of what was going to happen that day. All went well, and upon my awakening, Dr. Amshel gave me the news, which was good, and was there to answer any other questions I had. He is personable and obviously knows his stuff. What a great guy. I am fully confident in him, and he has a crew that is of the highest standards. The final appointment to discuss the 'scope and future care went smoothly and I left there knowing it was one of the best medical experiences I have ever had. At 62, I have been to quite a few doctors and practices, but Dr. Amshel and Absolute Surgical Associates is the best. I hold them in the highest regard. Ultra-highly recommended.
