Keith Eric Sommers

I was referred to Dr. Sommers by my Oncologist for a suspicious area in one lung. He operated on my robotically and the whole process could not have been smoother. I was out of the hospital 3 days after the surgery with virtually no lingering effects. He is a consummate surgeon and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone requiring lung surgery.

Absolutely the very best Doctor and team! Everything is explained in terms the patient can understand. The team & Doctor are positive and easy to communicate with. They do their very best to make the patient comfortable and accommodate the patient to the best of their ability. I'm thankful Dr Sommers is a doctor that prides his self on fully understanding what the complaints and symptoms are, then tailoring a plan based on those facts. He doesn't guess at what MIGHT be wrong. We traveled to see him and have my procedure with him.. HE'S MORE THAN WORTH THE TRAVEL TIME! Absolutely the very best Doctor and team!

I visit dr for a nodule that has grown, and in less than 1 month he did robotic surgery, I had stage 3 lung cancer. His service and his team service was more than excellent. He is very professional and an expert in robotic surgery, he is the best!

Dr Sommers is a fine doctor but, his office staff is the worst I've ever seen. On my first appointment we drove 4 hours round trip to be told it was changed to a televisit. They admitted they didn't call us. No problem. After the surgery Dr Sommers promised to call my wife who is an internist but he never called. Then I called the office and Everytime they would transfer or put me on hold the phone would disconnect. On my checkup in the office I asked if Dr Sommers would call my wife like he promised. They said he would. I said not to call my number call hers and supplied the number. 10 days went by no call. I checked my phone which I wasn't using and sure enough Dr Sommers had called my phone the next day. My final appt. was set for Fri. They changed it. I called and was hung up on 3 more times. They told me 100% that didn't happen. I said I'm done I don't want anything to do with that office after being told we were liars. I suggest you find another Dr to avoid the abuse.

Thank you for saving my husbands life, not a day goes by without being thankful for you! There’s not enough words to describe how great of a surgeon you are, very detailed and attentive and confident at what you do, even his scar looks great. It’s incredible, god bless you.

Dr Sommers treated my mother Evalyn Robertson for lung cancer and extended her life by a good 11 years. At 80 yrs old three drs said she was inoperable. Upon hearing of Dr Sommers we decided to get one last opinion. He was able to successfully remove the cancer. Then at the age of 85 when it came back he was able to do it again. She lived to a full age of 91 thanks to the expertise of Dr Sommers and staff. His bedside manner is above the best. Such an amazing surgeon and man. For over 5 yrs my mother and I would meet with Dr Sommers ever 3-5 “months” for checkups. That frequency allowed us to get to know Dr Sommers first hand. From experience I can say he is an answer to prayers!

Was my first surgery ever. Dr. Sommers and his staff were amazing on all levels. I was so comfortable throughout, considering lung cancer diagnosis and surgery. Thank you Dr. Sommers and Tampa General.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Sommers, Dr. Vinson, and Dr. Marcet for saving my father's life. Last year my father suffered life threatening complications from elective surgery at another hospital which put him in a coma. The hospital and doctors that were treating him at the time had completely given up and told us there was nothing they could do to save him. It was a hopeless situation but we did not give up, we were able to get him transferred to Tampa General and into the care of Dr. Sommers and his amazing team. These people not only saved his life but made him smile, after months of not being to able to speak or eat. Dr. Sommer's nursing team and the entire ICU nursing team could not have been more kind, these people not only took amazing care of my father, but also myself and my entire family as we were dealing with this incredibly painful situation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Dr Sommers was a God sent for our family. My brother had an incredibly rare pseudo tumor of the Bronchas (only 1% of 1%). Dr Sommers was recommended by countless physicians at our hospital and we could not have been more pleased with the results. He saved my brothers lung when we were told the chances were very slim. He was very professional and very kind to both my brother and our family pre and post op. I would happily give 10 stars if I could. Dr Sommers was a God sent for our family.

Dr Sommers operated on my mother in July to remove her right lung for copd and 2 tumors. The tumors were unknown if they were cancer. He basically was going in blindly. After the surgery he spent 60 seconds in the room to tell us it was inoperable. Then sent in his nurse to shove water and sandwiches down our throats and never spoke to us again until 2 days before she died. In the 3 weeks she was in the hospital he told my mom 4 times "YOU ARE GOING TO DIE" I wanted to punch him in the face.

I am M G H. Spanish basque patient of Dr. Keith E. Sommers operated on 22-December-2017. I was operated with only 2 days in hospital and total success by Dr. Keith Erick Sommers of a PARATHIROID ADENOMA in the mediastinum-chest and recomended to me by Dr. Lopez of Norman Parathyroid Center who could not extract it by being far from the neck. Both doctors Dr. Lopez and Dr. Keith E. Sommers of TGH were perfectly coordinated, and made it possible for me to return to Spain cured.MUCHAS GRACIAS

Dr. Sommers performed a lobectomy on my father. After the surgery was complete he spent 90 seconds explaining how the surgery went. Never saw him again. Sent in his NP, Jessica Bauman, who was rude & didn’t explain anything either. Took over a week to follow up with the results. At that time, they confirmed that the cancer was small cell. Later, the oncologist revealed that small cell lung cancer should NEVER be operated on and that surgery is harmful to treatment. Completely unethical.

I had part of my lung removed last year by Dr. Sommers. I saw him oh so briefly after my surgery and still groggy and disoriented. I had questions for him and though I would see him again. I didn't see him again during my hospital stay. I thought I would see him at my follow-up appointment. But again, no. I saw a N.P. I also have spinal issues. Sitting or standing for extended periods of time causes severe pain, which they were aware of. That is unacceptable. Good surgeon but poor scheduling.

While in the ICUl, his staff provided me with illogical and incorrect medical information as a basis for removing pain medication while I still had a chest tube and attempted again to discontinue my pain medication before removing the chest tube. The PA was rude and discounted my knowledge of my body and pain level. Dr. Sommers never followed up with me about my biopsy results. My post-op follow-up was rescheduled twice, and on the day of, I was made to wait over an hour before I just left.
