“Dr Yunis and his staff are top notch. Incredible experience with the surgery, he made real time choices while he was doing the surgery. I had my surgery 2 days ago and I'm already up walking around. I expect tomorrow to be even better and I'm excited to see how I feel in a day or two once I'm off the ibuprofen and Tylenol.

Thank you Doc, thank you team at Sarasota Memorial it was a top notch experience from A to Z. From Jerry in surgery prep, to anesthesia team to the surgery team. Grateful to have my double hernia (one on each side repaired). Thank you!”

“There’s a reason Dr. Yunis and his team get perfect reviews — the Center for Hernia Repair in Sarasota is second to none.

I drove four hours (twice) to see Dr. Yunis, and I’d have driven double that. His expertise is unmatched, and his staff makes you feel genuinely cared for. Melanie, the greatest nurse ever, answered every one of my many questions with patience and kindness. From my first call to years after my procedure, this office has shown incredible attention and care.

If you’re hesitating because of distance or nerves, don’t. I waited four years out of anxiety, but Dr. Yunis and his staff put me completely at ease. If I’d found the Center for Hernia Repair sooner, I would’ve done this years ago. Top-notch all around!”

“We had so many hurdles with workers’ compensation to get approval for Dr. Jonathan Yunis and his team — and we’re so glad we did. Not only did we receive expert medical care, but the staff guided us through every challenge behind the scenes that most patients never see.

Dr. Yunis explained every option — robotic, laparoscopic, and non-mesh — and delivered the best procedure with total confidence and skill. Danielle, Melanie, Mandy (PA), and the entire team were incredibly supportive throughout the process. We’re deeply grateful for their effort, expertise, and compassion.”

“Surgery isn’t fun, but Dr. Yunis and his team made it the best experience possible. The consult was easy, and Dr. Yunis took the time to ask thoughtful questions to choose the right approach for me.

Surgery was on time, care was excellent, and he even brought me a cup of coffee in recovery — that says a lot! A few months post-Desarda, I feel completely normal — no pain or dysfunction. Go to Dr. Yunis, who has decades of experience and thousands of hernia surgeries. I trust him fully.”

“I had an inguinal mesh laparoscopic procedure through Dr. Yunis. He actually gave me the option of natural repair vs mesh.

I can’t speak highly enough of their practice and work. The whole staff was incredibly outgoing, kind and thorough from start to finish. Their bedside manner was second to none, and they were willing to return back any phone calls for any concerns several months post op.

You can tell Dr. Yunis and Mandy are committed to their craft, surgical success and patient happiness. The front office staff was incredible. I recommend Center for Hernia Repair to anyone. I am very grateful they were in the Tampa Bay area, although I would gladly travel to see them in the unfortunate event I ever incur another hernia.”

“I am currently in my 3rd week of recovery after have two hernias repaired by Dr Yunis, along with the wonderful PA-C, Mandy Schaan.

Dr Yunis is literally as good as it gets. My recovery has been better than expected and because of Dr Yunis and his team, my surgery went perfectly.

He is THE premiere surgeon for hernia repairs in the WORLD and I see why.

If you're in need of hernia repair but you've heard nightmare stories about mesh or hernia repair... call Dr Yunis' office. He is the best of the best. He and his team also have AMAZING focus on caring for the patient and wanting what's best for them. No judgement. No scolding. Just a clear desire to care for you. The best.”

“It's roughly 2 years since I had my hernia repair with Dr Jonathan Yunis. Right from the initial video visit to the numerous emails with Melanie, the scheduling and finally the surgery, everything was great.

Postoperatively, I had pain that was easily managed with tylenol for a week. It was followed by a quick recovery and being able to go walking and running the week after. After 2 years, I don't see any lingering pain or any further complications and am able to feel the same as before.

Happy that I chose the no-mesh option and Dr Jonathan Yunis is a top-notch surgeon with a world-class, caring and helpful team. I definitely recommend them and glad to have made the trip to Florida even though there were local options.”

“My dad is in labor extensive work and had neglected his hernia for almost 10 years. It became large and painful and he was finally ready to feel better. This is a man who has never been to a doctors let alone has had surgery- to say he was nervous was an understatement!

We flew him from Michigan as I live here in Florida and he met with Dr Yunis and had surgery the next day. He flew back 2 days later with no issue! He is two weeks post op and doing great. He is very pleased with the results and despite having minor pains still, he is very happy he finally got it done. Melanie has been incredible from start to finish helping me set everything up.

My family and I are SO grateful to have been able work with Dr. Yunis and his team. They are top notch.”
