2022 Top Doctors There was a time, not long ago, when area residents traveled out of town seeking expertise for their complicated medical problems. Now, however, a cadre of top-of-the-line physicians who would be the envy of any community have made the Sarasota area their home.

“We have worked hard to bring the best and the brightest to this community,” notes John Steele, M.D., a founding member of Intercoastal. “Our mission has always been to provide the highest quality health care. The success of Intercoastal is the result of quality and hard work by each of the physicians who make up the group.”

Intercoastal Medical Group is proud of its physician colleagues who have been named by their peers for SRQ Top Docs.

TOP DOCTORS

WE ARE DEEPLY GRATEFUL to the medical and nursing professionals who are dedicated to supporting our community through this challenging time. The individuals who are being honored in this year's prestigious SRQ TOP DOCTORS | PEER REVIEW program have received the overwhelming support of colleagues in the medical professional communities of Greater Sarasota including Palmetto and Palmetto Bay, Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Venice and North Port, Florida. The Colorado-based team at DataJoe Research facilitates all aspects of the online peer-voting process and conducting government references.

We appreciate the doctors who participated in the program by sharing their thoughtful nominations—it is their insight that makes it possible for us to provide the readers of SRQ Magazine with this noteworthy guide to the highly-regarded doctors in the region.

METHODOLOGY DataJoe Research is a software and research company specializing in data collection and verification, and conducts various nominations across the United States on behalf of publishers. To create the "top doctors" list, DataJoe Research facilitated an online peer-voting process, also referencing government sources. DataJoe then tallied the votes per category for each doctor to isolate the top nominees in each category. After collecting nominations and additional information, DataJoe checked and confirmed that each published winner had a current, active license status with the state regulatory board. If we were not able to find evidence of a doctor's current, active registration with the state regulatory board, that doctor was excluded from the list. In addition, any doctor who has been disciplined, up to the time-frame of our review process for an infraction by the state regulatory board, was excluded from the list. Finally, DataJoe presented the tallied result to the magazine for its final review and adjustments.

DOUGLAS CONSTANT, MD

SPECIALTIES Interventional Treatments of the Neck and Spine Anesthesiology Pain Medicine

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE.

My practice is dynamic and cutting-edge allowing me to continually introduce new therapies and procedures which greatly improve my patients’ lives.

I actively participate in clinical research and teach fellows, residents and medical students. Part of my duties include an invitation each year to teach at Harvard Medical School where I completed my pain management fellowship. During medical school, I also participated in clinical research at Harvard.

Additionally, I have been appointed to the President’s Council and advise the U.S. Congress on matters pertaining to this nation’s healthcare policy. Bringing the most current therapies to my patients is my passion.

HOW DOES YOUR PRACTICE HELP TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF YOUR PATIENTS? My practice

Dr. Constant provides compassionate and personalized care.

While living on Siesta Key, he attended Pine View and has practiced in the Bradenton area for the last decade. Dr. Constant is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and the Tulane School of Medicine. He completed his anesthesiology residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and was selected as chief resident. Afterwards, he completed his interventional pain fellowship at Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He specializes in cutting edge interventional treatments of the spine (cervical, thoracic and lumbar). He is a diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology with certification in anesthesiology and pain medicine.

improves my patients’ lives in a wide variety of ways with the most up-to-date medical information and therapies. I use minimally invasive techniques to treat pain with targeted injections using ultrasound or fluoroscopy and with outpatient surgeries.

My procedures can be office-based or performed in ambulatory surgery centers. Restoring function and improving the quality of life for my patients are my ultimate goals. Seeing my patients return to athletics, travel and normal routines is highly rewarding for me. This partnership with my patients in selecting the appropriate treatment is fundamental to returning their lives back to normal.

Dr. Sessa started his career in dental school, where he learned that a tenth of a millimeter can make all the difference. He then went to medical school and onto oral and maxillofacial surgery at Charity Hospital in New Orleans for six years. This is were he learned to take apart the bony structures of the head and face and put them back together better than before. The training culminated in a year long post-graduate fellowship in cosmetic surgery of the face and body. This is where it all came together. It was at this fellowship, that every day, he along side his mentor performed cosmetic surgery in a private facility. Under this tutelage, he was able to hone his skills performing complex breast, tummy, face, and nasal surgery. This expertise allowed him to come to Sarasota in 2007 and begin practicing at the highest level immediately. Thousands of surgeries completed, five patient choice awards, hundreds of 5-star reviews across multiple platforms, and thousands of thrilled patients. He is a diplomate of both the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery as well as the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Fellowship director, and American Board of Cosmetic Surgery Board examiner for the past four years.

Surgical Arts, the name says it all! This is where surgical excellence, safety, and art collide. Alberico Sessa, MD is an artist. An expert in Cosmetic Surgery. An expert is defined as 10,000 hours performing a task. After 14 years and 7,000+ cosmetic procedures completed at his surgical facility, Dr. Sessa considers himself to be an expert. It's all in the training. Alberico Sessa, MD, is a perfectionist. The surgery is never completed until it is perfect. The first questions asked at a consultation are to find out exactly what is the patient’s idea of beauty and what they are concerned about. Then the journey begins.

Sarasota Surgical Arts provides an array of cosmetic surgery to help the breast, body, or the face. Some of the procedures performed: facelift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, breast lift, breast reduction, liposuction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, laser skin resurfacing.

His vision then was to create a comprehensive dermatology practice providing a welcoming, “family feel” while offering exceptional and personalized service. Dr. Sax has brought that vision to life by combining leading edge technologies and tailoring it with highly individualized attention to each patients’ specific needs. One of the main goals when forming my practice was to create a comprehensive skin care center; a single destination for the entire family. At University Park Dermatology, we combine the best of both medical and cosmetics, allowing us to holistically address all of our patient’s needs. Our medical team utilizes the most effective treatments against skin cancers, including an in-house lab performing outpatient Mohs surgery. Within the same office, our ultramodern medspa offers an array of solutions to improve virtually all aspects of our patient’s skincare needs; from lasers, injectables and Emsculpt Neo to our exceptional aesthetician services and medical grade skincare lines. However, it is my staff that truly sets us apart, creating the warm and inviting environment that is our trademark.

HOW DOES YOUR PRACTICE IMPROVE THE LIVES OF YOUR PATIENTS? One result of living in the Sunshine State

is that there is an overabundance of skin cancers. Fortunately, when detected early, most can be successfully treated in the office. One of the most effective treatments for skin cancers is the Mohs surgical technique. During Mohs surgery, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are removed and then examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. Having undergone extensive Mohs surgical training allows me to perform this precision surgical technique while meticulously minimizing scarring.

Over the past twenty years, our office has treated over ten-thousand skin cancers. I feel exceptionally fortunate to continue to help patients with skin cancer treatment and prevention.

Neuropathy understands that nervous system health is directly correlated to an individual’s overall health and well-being and recognizes that the body is genetically programmed for health rather than sickness. It is our vision to educate the community about the self-healing and self-regulating human frame provided there is no interference of neurological communication. By balancing the nervous system’s performance, we normalize communication between the brain and the body through state-of-the art neuropathy treatments. It is through this optimization of function and communication that individuals can realize their potential for optimal health and wellness. We address the root cause of the pain and help the body, nerves, blood vessels and tissue stop breaking down and start healing naturally without surgery. Typical healthcare approaches neuropathy pain by using invasive procedures to mask the symptoms while we get to the root cause of the pain. With the most advanced natural approach at reversing neuropathy symptoms we are able to provide independence and a quality of life we are all wanting.

Neuropathy is a very complicated condition and at The Roots Neuropathy, we focus on improving the patient’s quality of life. Every patient is given a personal consultation to truly understand how their lives are being interrupted and a complete neurological evaluation by one of our health providers to pinpoint the amount of damage they have sustained. Many patients who come to us have taken pain medication to relieve their neuropathy symptoms and were not able to achieve the long term results they are looking for from previous treatment. At The Roots Health Centers it is our goal to get the problem fixed so that they no longer need pain medication and can return to living a life free from neuropathy. We strive to help our patients regain their independence so they can once again enjoy the activities they used to enjoy. We strive to make each recommendation individualized in order to fit the needs of every patient ensuring the highest success rate.

WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART? I have always approached patient care with the idea of recognizing the complex biological, psychological and situational impact of each person’s presentation. Psychiatric symptoms are the most complicated of any medical specialty, because they potentially impact who you are and how you feel about yourself. My goal with patients is to help them understand their psychiatric symptoms and conflicts, and to work collaboratively with them to improve overall health and well-being. In over a decade of private clinical practice, I have worked with patients in both acute crisis situations as well as with more chronic, debilitating symptoms or difficulties. For some patients, seeking out care can be upsetting or difficult. My goal is to establish a safe and nurturing environment so we can do the work together, establish clear goals for a treatment plan and take proper care of the patient’s needs.

IVAN ESTUARDO RASCON-AGUILAR, MD HONOREE

Gastroenterology SPECIALTIES Esophageal disorders Inflammatory bowel disease Liver and pancreatic diseases

Dr. Ivan Rascon-Aguilar is a board-certified gastroenterologist who received his medical degree at the Universidad San Carlos de Guatemala, then completed his internal medicine residency and gastroenterology fellowship at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville and Jacksonville, Florida. He is a partner of Florida Digestive Health Specialists and is based in Bradenton.

WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART? First of all, the

most important thing I try to keep in mind is that patients come to see me for a solution to a problem. My goal is to get to the root cause and not just treat it with pills.

I get to the root by listening/investigating first and giving the patient the option to treat their problem with medications/procedures or lifestyle modification. Giving a solution to a problem is what brings me great satisfaction. Treating my patients as if they were my own family is always a goal. Making a difference in people's lives is what gives me a reason to wake in the mornings. It's that simple–nothing more and nothing less is what I offer.

We find that the outpatient setting allows for more coordinated, streamlined care that is convenient for the patient and their family members. The doctor-patient relationship also thrives. Personally, I find that this human connection, through compassion and alleviating human suffering, is what I love most of being a physician.
