"I've been with Dr Coats since 2017 and I've trusted this wonderful, caring,Man,he is the kind of Dr that reminds me of the Drs that used to make house calls!. HE actually cares ABOUT ALL his patients. If you want a Dr that ACTUALLY cares ABOUT YOU, THIS is YOUR Dr! God bless you Dr Coats"

"I am surprised when I came across some negative feedback because I have been treated by Dr. Coats going so far back I can not remember the years. But that doesn't mean anything because I think as a surgeon and a caring doctor I would trust him with my life. I shared my feelings about his special skills and dedication. He performed a major surgery on my back and if for whatever reason I would have to have surgery regarding neurosurgery he would be the neuro surgeon i would go with hands down. No one is perfect but cost and effect we need to understand that the office staff working with the public at time may come across as needing improvements and its important to let them know. Than you."

"I've known Dr. Coats since 1997. He's done two cervical fusions, three lower lumbar procedures. Over the years we've confided in him and vice versa. They broke the mold after he graduated med school. I'm convinced he has kept me out of a wheelchair. John is just a real stand up guy, not just a surgeon. He's a medical conservative. I trust him implicitly, and so should anyone who unfortunately requires his services."

"Dr. Coats & his office has done a wonderful job when it comes to my health. I've had two surgeries with Dr. Coats. First was to repair L4/L5 & he did a wonderful job. The second surgery was much more serious. I had a very large tumor in my spinal cord that even with MRI's could have not prepared them until they opened my spinal cord. It was causing paralysis & undescribable pain. Dr.Coats did a very lengthy & precise surgery removing this HUGE tumor in a very bad spot when it comes to sugeries. The surgery was a success with minimal nerve damage. He gave me my life back. His bedside manors is so kind. I was in the hospital for 10 days & he checked on me with his assistant EVERY DAY!!!! I thought I would never recover but with his guidance & encouragement, I did. I read the negative reviews & I cannot speak for the other Doctor but Coats & Moore have been working together for a long time & are rated as some of the BEST Spine & Neuro Surgeons in South Florida. The staff as always been kind to me & my husband. They are booked out & it's not easy to get in but there is a true reason for this because Dr. Coats is one of the best!!! I do have one more surgery approaching & he will be the ONLY doctor that works on my back!!!! Thank you Dr. Coats for giving me my life back!!! And Thank you to the office staff for always taking such good care of me."

"Let me start off with saying that the level of professionalism in this clinic is just horrible. I suffered a lower back injury and visited Dr Gieseke back in January. I was prescribed an MRI and after reviewing the results, we discussed my options and decided together that we will begin physical therapy treatment, with the option of maybe doing steroidal shots and even surgery down the road, if necessary. Then last week I re-aggravated the injury and reached out to the office. Little did I know that Dr Gieseke had retired in February. So not only did the office refer me to a doctor they knew was retiring a few weeks later, but they also didnt inform me that he had retired. I spoke with someone in the office and they informed me that they will reach out to Dr Gieseke in order to see if he can refer me to another doctor. I did not hear back from the office. Now on Monday morning I called back and asked if they indeed reached out to him and no one in the office wanted to even admit we had a discussion. That is the level of unprofessionalism at this clinic. DO NOT GO TO THIS AWFUL CLINIC AND THEIR USELESS STAFF."
