The year prior to booking a consultation with Dr. Tomas, I had been told by several doctors and scans that I did not have a hernia. However, I wasn’t given answers as to what was causing my pain so I started researching my symptoms, all of which presented as a hernia and I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Tomas as a last resort. At that first meeting he palpated me and immediately found and diagnosed an incisional hernia. Dr. Tomas was patient with me and not at all offended when I asked him to provide me with proof. Considering how, for months, doctors who I trusted had all told me repeatedly that I did not have a hernia, I wanted absolute certainty. Dr. Tomas knew exactly how to provide it—he ordered an ultrasound, with the key being that I stand during. And sure enough it showed the hernia. I was so relieved to finally have answers and I immediately booked the surgical repair. I am now back to living my life again, pain and hernia free. Dr. Tomas clearly knows what he is doing and is very skilled with the intricacies of hernias and no mesh repairs. I love him and his whole office staff. I wish I’d sought him out sooner!

We receive patients from all over the world. Thank you all for your reviews that will help others to make their decisions.

Thanks to the gifted hands and brain of Dr. Tomas, I am a new man. On March 21, 2023, I underwent non-mesh left inguinal hernia repair surgery. I am now slightly over one month beyond surgery and have a dramatic improvement in quality of life. My hernia journey. Several years ago, I was doing stretching exercises that were close to doing ballet splits. Bad idea at age 66. Felt a cold knife stabbing me in the groin region. Eventually went to a doctor who referred me to a surgeon who proclaimed that I needed mesh surgery. I researched mesh surgery and found too many adverse reactions to consider this an improvement. I could go from bad to worse. Spent years trying to reverse my hernia rupture through non-surgical methods. Nothing worked. After several relapses, which would make be bed bound for days with exquisite pain if upright, I determined that I needed to do something. Natural healing was not working. Research pointed me to Dr. Robert Tomas in Ft. Myers, FL, one of the most experienced surgeons in the world at non-mesh surgery, trained by the internationally respected Dr. Desarda (see amazon book) An expensive and extensive trip from San Diego to Ft. Myers, FL brought me to the UFirst clinic. Was impressed with the team, including Debra, April, Amber, Esteban, and others. All cordial and professional. Day one: see the doctor with EKG, blood test. Day two: surgery. Two hours after surgery (IV sedation, no intubation) I was walking. The outpatient surgical suite (because I was over 65 years) had an extraordinary team of professionals. Their pain management program (high dose ibuprofen, lidocaine, arnica, and ice packs) was extremely effective. Never lost any sleep over pain. Day four: post op exam by doctor. Day six: flew home. Now that Dr. Tomas has rearranged my internal organs where they need to be. Previously, my colon was invading the sc***um and crowding out the testicles. Not a good situation. Odds for an adverse reaction from a foreign substance (mesh). Zero. Odds for a recurrence. Less than one percent. I am upright and out of pain for the first time in years. My only regret is that I did not have this procedure done years ago. Would have saved me unnecessary pain. I am ecstatic.

We love our testimonials.

I'm sure you all get a lot of feedback from your customers, and unfortunately like in my business the loudest one's are the negative one's. I have the largest General Motors dealership in the state of GA and sell over 400 vehicles a month, so I understand that you can't make everyone happy and that I seem to always hear about the negative reviews and seldom the positive reviews. So I wanted to send you some very positive feedback from my experience!

The entire process, from scheduling, to intake, to all of your personnel at the office, to the Nurses and Dr, I would highly recommend everyone who needs this type of procedure done to make the trip!

I personally drove from Atlanta to Ft. Myers, after searching extensively on the internet. I knew I wanted a no mesh procedure as I have family members that have encountered mesh complications.

In the end I couldn't be more pleased with the entire process! I had very little pain (only took 2 total Ibuprofen in over 2 weeks), zero bruising, and just a minimal scar.

I have attached pictures from before, 1 week out, and 2 weeks out. (Feel free to use these pictures as you wish) The results, in my opinion, are simply amazing!

Thank you all again for everything you have done for me, and I will definitely be sending anyone I know that needs any hernia procedure your way. With over 200 employees and thousands of customers a year, I'm sure my great experience with UFirst will result in many referrals.

Thanks again,

William H.

What a great experience throughout the entire ordeal. I had seen a previous doctor multiple times, who could not definitively diagnose my hernia. I ended up in Urgent Care, I had two CT Scans, and an Ultrasound without being able to find anything that could explain my pain. I finally was referred to Dr. Tomas and his team at U First Health. Dr. Tomas had me diagnosed in five minutes and in surgery the following week to address a Direct Sports Hernia. I am now 10 days post-surgery, and I feel the best I have felt in seven months. The entire team is just first class in their care and how they take care of their patients. I wish I would have seen Dr. Tomas first, and I would not have missed an entire summer of my career playing the game of golf. If I could give 10 stars I would, he truly is great and his entire team will make you feel right at home and at ease with the entire process.
