2021 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 this past summer by sharing their thoughtful nominations, which this year include Exceptional Nurses—it is your 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.

2021 PEER REVIEW HONOREES | SRQ TOP DOCTORS MEDICAL RESOURCE GUIDE

METHODOLOGY SUMMARY 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.

Sumeet Bhanot MD, FACS

HONOREE Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Dr. Sumeet Bhanot was born in Chandigarh, India while his father was on the battlefield. His father fell ill when he was eight causing an abrupt move to the U.S. for emergency medical care. This tumultuous early life is what has shaped him into the dedicated surgeon he has become. Dr. Bhanot is a double board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon who completed both medical school and a surgical residency at the prestigious Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital; he further honed his skills with a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Bhanot has been serving the Sarasota area in his endless pursuit of excellence for the past eighteen years.

WHAT PROCEDURE BEST ENCOMPASSES YOUR PASSION AND LIFE’S WORK IN ADDRESSING THE AGING FACE? Through-

out my career I have been striving to solve the conundrum of how to create a natural, refreshed, youthful appearance while being true to Mother Nature’s design and natural proportions. Early in my career, I performed the standard SMAS facelift which, while very satisfactory at addressing the neck and jowl, fails to reposition the mid facial volume. This left me feeling cornered and forced to consider camoflauging solutions such as fat injection or excessive fillers to hide the limitations of this technique, which results in the all too common cherub-like plumped faces. I resisted the pressure and evolved my technique to a Deep Plane Facelift; my patients and I have been very happy since.

My technique is a product of comprehensive study of the anatomy of aging.

Aging is the shift of facial volume–not loss of volume. With the Deep Plane Facelift, the fallen malar fat pads are elevated and repositioned to their initial location restoring the volume proportions and youthful facial harmony.

The facial volume is globally addressed in a vertical lift. Patients look decades younger and natural, with soft fullness in the upper face and less heaviness in the lower face. In the past I treated wrinkles; now I realize that true rejuvenation needs to address the root cause and not the superficial manifestations.

The answer is not to compensate by overfilling or overly stretching the skin. My patients report that their family and friends did not realize they had a facelift, only that they look younger and fabulous, I invite you to look at the results and decide for yourself.

Jehanzeb Bilal MD

ABOUT THE PRACTICE I am passionate about

providing high quality, personalized, highly efficient care to all my patients. I do that by working as a health coach for my patients with kidney diseases, hypertensive disorders in various health settings.

My practice is mainly divided into three aspects: Nephrology office practice-Main office is in Sarasota, second office is in Venice next to Venice Regional Hospital; and, Nephrology Hospital Consultation service provided mainly at SMH (Sarasota and Venice locations) and Venice Regional but also at all Sarasota county and Manatee County Hospitals.

Nephrology Consultation services in Sarasota and Venice Hospitals; and, dialysis units where I follow all my patients who receive dialysis. These dialysis units include most of the dialysis units in Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice and Port Charlotte. Dr. Bilal is part of Sarasota Memorial Hospital's Community Specialty Clinic dedicated to providing high quality care to underserved communities, free of cost.

HONOREE Nephrology

Dr. Bilal graduated from Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore, Pakistan in 2003. To explore residency and fellowship training, he undertook several observerships and clinical rotations at various hospitals including Cooper University Hospital in Camden, NJ where he completed his internal medicine residency. During Residency, he developed a passion for management of kidney diseases, clinical hypertension and critical-care medicine. At the University of Ann Arbor, he completed a geriatrics fellowship in one of the nations top fellowship programs, returning to Cooper University Hospital to complete a fellowship in nephrology and hypertension. He also completed a mini fellowship in kidney ultrasound at Emory University. After graduation, he joined a nephrology practice in rural West Virginia.

He served as Medical director of Grundy Dialysis unit in Virginia and Associate Medical Director of a home dialysis unit in Pikeville, KY. He moved to Sarasota in 2017 and joined one of the top nephrology groups in Tampa Bay. Dr. Bilal is board Certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology. He is a certified Clinical Hypertension Specialist whose special interests include kidney ultrasound, kidney diseases of the elderly and critical-care nephrology.

WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART FROM OTHERS? I believe in establishing close and longterm

relationships with all my patients. The patients with kidney disease carry a huge burden of diseases, especially, cardiovascular disease. As their health coach, I provide top quality, personalized care that helps them achieve a high quality of life. Since patients with kidney disease are prone to hospitalizations and cardiovascular diseases, my goal is always to prevent hospitalization and prevent them from decompensation. I take pride in the fact that I love to communicate directly with the patients primary care physicians, cardiologist, endocrinologists, rheumatologists. Direct comunication in this digital age is considered a lost skill by many but my patients have the satifaction that their Nephrologist is a team player and goes out of his way to communicate with all the involved parties This collaboration and coordination of care is the key to achieving meaningful clinical outcomes including reducing hospitalization, slow progression of kidney disease, reduce progression to ESRD, provide efficient care. I follow my patients in all major clinical settings including hospital, office, dialysis unit, thereby ensuring continuity of care.

After more than 700 robotic operations, Dr. Halaby is capable of treating complex abdominal wall hernias, major abdominal resections for cancer and benign disease. Dr. Halaby also specializes in vascular surgery, serving as Director of the award-winning Center for Wound Care in Venice, treating vascular disease, from aneurysms, to carotid surgery and stents, to surgery of both arteries and veins.

We are an independent practice, and have privileges in most local hospitals, allowing patients to chose where to have their operation. We are humbled and honored to have been the choice of our patients and referring physicians for the past 20 years.

Michelle Pennie MD

HONOREE Dermatology

Dr. Pennie earned her undergraduate degree at Dartmouth College, completed medical school and residency at Emory University, and received Mohs fellowship training with Dr. George Hruza at The Laser & Dermatologic Surgery Center in Chesterfield, Missouri. She is one of only a handful of dermatologists on the west coast of Florida who is fellowship trained in Mohs micrographic surgery, the most effective and precise treatment for most types of skin cancer. Dr. Pennie is a boardcertified dermatologist, a noted Top Doctor in the region, and committed to what she considers her most important role – being the mother of twin teenage boys.

ABOUT THE PRACTICE Patients of Paradise

Dermatology rave about the compassionate, advanced care they receive for a range of medical, surgical and aesthetic dermatological needs. This can be attributed to the patient -centered, family-friendly, personal approach to dermatology Dr. Michelle Pennie instilled in her team since she started the practice in 2012. Under Dr. Pennie’s leadership, Paradise Dermatology has expanded from a small five exam-room clinic to its two modern offices in Sarasota and Englewood. The team includes Dr. Pennie, board-certified Dr. Chelsea Duggan, three physician assistants, two nurse practitioners, and over 30 staff – several of whom have been with Dr. Pennie since the beginning. "I am very proud of the great group I have working with me,” said Dr. Pennie.

“Each is passionate about their area of expertise, from complex medical dermatology to lasers and aesthetics," says Dr. Pennie.

She takes the time to listen to her patients and address questions that arise. She also takes the time before procedures such as Mohs surgery to explain how and why the procedure is performed.

Paradise Dermatology is currently accepting new patients. To schedule an appointment, visit ParadiseDerm.com or call 941.921.4131 (Sarasota) or 941.474.8811 (Englewood).

David S. Sax

HONOREE Dermatology

Dr. Sax brings an impressive level of education and experience to his patients. He is a board-certified dermatologist and a Phi Beta Kappa honors graduate of Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Molecular Cell Biology and Computer Science. Dr. Sax graduated from Thomas Jefferson University Medical College, completed his dermatology residency at the University of Michigan, and trained an additional year in Mohs surgery for skin cancer treatment in Columbus, Ohio.

MD

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE. WHAT SETS YOU APART? Almost 20 years ago, David S.

Sax, M.D. founded University Park Dermatology & Medical Spa. 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 HELP TO 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.

Alberico J. Sessa MD

WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART?

Sarasota 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 – I would say Dr. Sessa is an expert. It's all in the training.

HONOREE Cosmetic Surgery

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.

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. Non surgical options are also found at Sarasota Surgical Arts: Venus freeze —a skin-tightening procedure that works. Vanquish is an all-in-one treatment to dissolve fat and tighten skin, both painless and inexpensive.

A medi-spa, along with a knowledgeable aesthetician, is also onsite. Skin peels, facials, derma planing, “PRP” facials (Vampire), micro-needling, as well as micro-blading for eyebrows are performed. We also have our very own skin care line-DR AL’s RX. All Cosmetic Surgery is performed at his private surgical facility. This facility is certified by the Florida Board of Medicine yearly. The anesthesia is provided by a board certified practitioner with 32 years of experience.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE THAT SETS YOU APART? I enjoy connecting with each patient and creating individualized treatment plans to help them lead a healthy, active life. In our practice, patients have access to highly advanced therapies and care without the need to visit a large hospital system or an academic medical center. 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.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE THAT SETS YOU APART? I treat patients at all stages of digestive health, from those who have been suffering for years to patients who are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms that are new to them. Each of them is seeking answers and a path to health. Our team takes the time we need to empathize and deeply understand each patient’s lives and the factors affecting their condition. Education is imperative to helping patients regain their quality of life. I strive to combine professionalism, advanced treatments and compassion to amplify our patient’s chance at a healthy, active life.

Avantika Mishra MD

HOW DOES YOUR PRACTICE HELP TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF YOUR PATIENTS? Diagnosing gastrointestinal issues can be very nuanced and layered; it requires paying key attention to patients’ symptoms while keeping in mind already diagnosed medical comorbidities. Patients need to know they’re heard and are working with someone that is invested in their care. An essential part of this doctor-patient relationship is continual patient education and engagement. As physicians, we need to constantly understanding symptoms and early screening. With this work, we can save lives.

TOP DOCTORS METHODOLOGY SUMMARY 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.

FINAL NOTE We recognize that there are many good doctors who are not shown in this representative list. This is only a sampling of the huge array of talented professionals within the region. Inclusion in the list is based on the opinions of responding doctors in the region and the results of our research campaign. We take time and energy to ensure fair voting, although we understand that the results of this survey nomination are not an objective metric. We certainly do not discount the fact that many, many good and effective doctors may not appear on the list.

DISCLAIMERS DataJoe uses best practices and exercises great care in assembling content for this list. DataJoe does not warrant that the data con-

tained within the list are complete or accurate. DataJoe does not assume, and hereby disclaims, any liability to any person for any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions herein whether such errors or omissions result from negligence, accident, or any other cause. All rights reserved. No commercial use of the information in this list may be made without written permission from DataJoe. QUESTIONS For research/methodology questions, contact the research team at surveys@datajoe.com.
