Florida Bladder Institute Joseph Gauta, MD

My first visit and I have to say, they were excellent. Nicole is a personable and knowledgeable PA, and she didnt hesitate to have Dr. Gauta come in for a second opinion. I was told everything they were doing and given reassurance through out my visit. I highly recommend this practice to any woman seeking excellent care!

I saw Amy the PA who is fabulous made me feel extremely comfortable. Did a very thorough examination very impressed with her skills her knowledge and the explanations she gave to me for all of what she found. I’ve already recommended her to a friend who has a lot of the same issues that I do.

Dr. Lisa Mark is an amazing doctor. I drive all the way from Venice, FL to see her. Its a long drive, but she is well-worth the drive. She is a very knowledgable gynecologist who truly cares about her patients well-being. She is one of those rare doctors who still takes the time to listen to her patients and then calmly explains medical information and procedures. I highly recommend her. Additionally, the staff is exceedingly efficient and very friendly.

I was referred to the Florida Bladder Institute by a friend; she is now my best friend! It was a pleasure and a gift to meet Dr. Lisa Mark. She will be working with me to find a solution to my health issue. She spent time explaining the challenges and offered a treatment plan which her team will monitor. I am very grateful. Thank you.

Appointments here are always good. Amy is easy to talk to, friendly but professional. Questions answered, problems solved or treated. So happy to have found this practice.

Amy Goetz P. A.-C was absolutely awesome! She took her with me to explain everything happening and what I need to do going forward. Karina- (I hope I got her name right) she was just as wonderful. So sweet and courteous. Also receptionist as well greeting me with a smile. I love everyone in the office. A very comfortable atmosphere. Made me feel good. I would definitely recommend Dr Gautas office.

The front office staff were very kind, considerate, and professional. I saw the PA whose name was Nicole Houser. I can’t believe how patient she was. She listened to everything and discussed possible courses of action. This is obviously a difficult medical situation to be in but Nicole made it so relaxed and straightforward. I would highly recommend this office.

Excellent care and attention to my medical issue. Dr. Lisa was super supportive and knowledge about the issue that brought me into the office.. Offered advice and solutions.Support staff very friendly and helpful. Got me an appointment in a timely manner.

I am a patient of the excellent Dr Gauta. He and his staff are the most caring Ive ever experienced. They consistently strive to do everything they can to help you. I got real results with Dr Gauta. They are always there for you!

I was impressed with the entire experience. Before performing any procedure, a detailed explanation was given. I would recommend Dr. Gauta and his staff without hesitation.

From the front desk team, to the nurse, and to my visit with Dr. Lisa Mark, the visit was wonderful. Everyone was kind, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I appreciate the time that Dr. Mark spent with me and the education she provided me. I learned a lot from her.

Dr. Mark will be greatly missed. She handled my difficulty quickly and I am not experiencing the problem. She is knowledgeable and competent; I only hope is that I continue to find Florida Bladder as competent with the new professional I will be seeing.

My first time to get a bladder examination relating to my symptoms turned out to be a wonderful experience at the Bladder Institute. Nicole educated me thoroughly, walked me thru each step, was very thorough, & any anxiety I experienced was alleviated by this amazing Professional — Nicole’s expertise is a real credit to the Florida Bladder Institute & I highly recommend them for any of your bladder issues…. You will be greatly cared for!

I have been very pleased with the care I have received so far. I have felt comfortable and confident in all of the staff and Physicians . Today I saw Dr. Gauta , I was impressed with his caring attitude and the reassurance that I was choosing the right plan of care for me after giving me the options. I did not feel rushed and I felt he really listened. I feel that I made the right choice to come to this practice.

I was a new patient I went on a Tuesday 8/27/24 seen with no infection clean urine sample and Wednesday 8/28/24 night I was so sick and on Thursday morning I was in the emergency room with a massive UTI infection and admitted into the hospital and put on IV antibiotics. Apparently they need better sterilization techniques put in place. I called the office on Wednesday at 3 in the morning because I was violently ill and was told only patients who had surgery with in the past 4 weeks were considered an emergency and to call the office at 8 am when they open and I did and I told them what my symptoms were and was told to call my primary care doctor that it sounded like I had a kidney stone. I told them I was going to the emergency room and tell them what happened to me in their office and they told me to go ahead. I also got a text that my follow appointment was cancelled by some unforeseen reason. I updated my review to show the date of service as in the reply they don’t seem to remember my calls to the service at 3 am or calling the office at 8am Thursday morning and talking to the office staff who relayed my ailments to the nurse on staff that day. Really unbelievable treatment of a patient. I am so very disappointed. Very poor office management.

Got my appt quickly. The PA Amy was very compassionate and thorough. Felt relieved after the visit with an appropriate treatment plan. Thank you! My name is Saroja Amin ( not Rohi)

After meeting Dr Gauta today for the first time, I can see how attentively he listens to his patients and cares about helping them with their issues. His staff is top notch and extremely professional. I left feeling that I am in good hands.

My name is Carline. Yesterday, I met Dr Lisa Mark @ Florida bladder institute ( Naples) ; she was very nice to me and I was very satisfied of her explanations. She is a very smart woman Doctor. I am so proud of her. God bless her family!❤️❤️

I was so impressed with Dr Gauta and his staff. I have never felt more welcomed at a Doctors office as I did yesterday I know I am in very good hands with Dr Gauta and his staff.

100% of my post menopausal bladder leakage issues were solved by prescription vaginal estrogen cream, making surgery unnecessary. Happy non-patient😀

My first visit was very good. The provider Nicole was very patient and took time to really get to understand my issues and needs.

I had a great experience with Dr Amy today. She was very kind, gentle and understanding. She explained everything very clearly. I felt very at ease with her. Im grateful for her kind services. I will not hesitate to return for my next appointment.

Dr. Mark and the entire staff are very friendly, professional and overall wonderful. Dr. Gauta and Dr. Mark are truly great physicians. I am very thankful my primary care physician referred me to the Florida Bladder Institute.

I totally trust Dr Gauta with any of my medical needs. He is kind and caring and a brilliant surgeon in my opinion if that is the option that needs to be taken. I believe the happy atmosphere in the office reflects the doctors personality.

Doctor Gauta is the only GYN who truly understands my complicated history. He is the only GYN I would ever consider having a minor procedure to my hysterectomy by. He is the reason I have my 2 amazing children with terrible endometriosis. Thank you Dr. Gauta for everything!

Every one was patient, kind and willing to help me when I had a difficult time giving a urine sample. Amy was also very knowledgeable about my problem so I left the doctors office believing my concerns were going to be addressed.

Staff was very courteous, friendly and efficient. I saw Amy, one of the PA’s and she was wonderful. She explained various treatments and together we chose a plan that was best for me. I definitely recommend this practice.

My experience was easy fast and to the point. I am so glad I decied to go see Dr. Gauta. I do believe that I will be helped.

My appointment today went very well. Amy was kind, knowledgeable, & professional. We discussed my condition & my options in detail & clearly. Saw Dr Garuda for a few minutes & he was reassuring. I left feeling informed & optimistic.

Dr. Gauta and his staff are great, so glad I found him to preform my surgery ! Always will take the time to answer any questions I might have.

Very nice office staff, unfortunately waited over an hr before I was seen.But once I went back with apologies, everything went fine from there Amy was so kind, thorough and understanding. I also meet Dr. Gauta and everything was explained and I was made to feel comfortable for a very uncomfortable subject.

Dr Guata and his staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. He took so much time to explain all the medical terms and procedures I need and I didn’t feel like he was pressuring me in any way. I will schedule my procedures with him in the near future to take care of my medical needs.

Everyone very professional and friendly. My appointment was on time. I would always recommend this practice to friends and especially my Internest.

Appreciate Dr Gauta’s professional, reassuring manner. It helped me to feel confident in my treatment.

My PA Nicole Houser is amazing! She always takes her time to discuss my issues with me and never seems rushed even when they’re super busy!

This was truly a great experience and the knowledge my PA Nicole has and her ability to explain everything so thoroughly was a breathe of fresh air.

My experience could not have been better. Everyone was very accommodating and professional. I really appreciate the time taken to look at my situation and come up with a plan. Dr Gauda and his assistant were awesome. Thanks so much!Nora F.

EVERYONE from reception to initial nurse interview are helpful, friendly and professional. I drive from Punta Gorda to Florida Bladder Institute in Naples because I trust the doctors and practitioners. Nicole Houser PA is very knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. Florida Bladder Institute and Dr Gauta have earned my trust over the past 8 years. Thank you!

Everyone was very welcoming and caring. Amy took time to answer all of my questions. I was very impressed….

I arrived early and was taken right in. Amy was extremely helpful listened to my concerns and set a plan in motion. A very caring office.

Receptionist very pleasant and efficient.Dr. Mark absolutely wonderful. Made you feel very at ease. Spent time explaining procedures that would need to be done.Personnel all very nice and accommodating.One very negative comment. They make it VERY clear to be at office 1/2 hour before appointment telling you your appointment could be in jeopardy if not there.Got there 40 minutes early for a 11:00 only to have a woman who did not have an appointment walk in and be taken before me by the doctor I was to see. Only when I complained after waiting 20 minutes past appointment time was I taken.Poor first impression. Doctor Mark definitely saved them, she is excellent in my book.

My procedure was done on time and I was out of office 15 minutes after appt. time. Very professional and I felt at ease the entire time. Recommend this office highly. They know how to treat your problem.

Immediately loved the vibe of the office & staff ❤️ Dr Gauda and his team were exceptional , knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and caring taking the time to listen and fully explain his findings. I highly recommend Dr Gauda and the Naples Bladder Institute.very thankful

My technician, Jennifer, if I have her name correct was very detailed professional and kept me informed all the way through the procedure she made me feel relaxed. She was very friendly and kind. She’s an asset to your practice.

Was very happy so far with my appointment today at the Florida Bladder Institute Dr Lisa Marks was great in explaining and the exam was easier than I thought also great staff

Excellent service & well run too! All around great appointment!

It was a pleasure to meet Dr Mark. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of me.The front desk are a very efficient group of women. Sue even said “welcome to our practice”.

My experience at Florida Bladder Institute was A+. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I must confess I had a crumby attitude at first because I didn’t want to drive an hour to get there. Little did I know how glad I would be I chose Dr Gauda to do my complicated surgery. These people really know their craft. Dr Gauda and Amy were so respectful and so kind. They both explained the procedure to me very well and explained in detail what to expect after surgery. They had me very prepared. So I went into surgery feeling calm and confident I was in good hands. The results were amazing…actually life changing. These people are experts. Look at their credentials! They know what they are doing and have years of experience behind them. Thank you Florida Bladder institute for the great help you have given me. You all exceeded my expectations.

Dr. Gauta is fantastic, always makes you feel as comfortable as possible under tough situations..

The staff and physician at Fla. bladder Institute were professional and very helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that my appointment was kept. I also received words of encouragement and kindness. I thank you Florida bladder Institute.

Dr. Gauta, thank you for your expertise and exceptional care. In addition, your staff are understanding and caring. I am very fortunate to have been referred to you. I would highly recommend Dr. Gauta.

I’ve been a patient at the Florida Bladder Institute for three years and I’m continually amazed at the knowledge and skill and care and concern of Dr. Gauta… And that is also reflected in his entire staff… Because HE is the best, THEY are the best!

Everyone was very knowledgeable. They explained everything in detail and in a way I could understand. They provided all the options for treatment & addressed my concerns. Feel very confident I made the right choice.

My appointment with Dr. Gautas PA was very helpful. She went to great lengths to understand the multiple issues possibly contributing to my pain and discomfort. I feel we are on the right path, and that these medical professionals will lead me to the best answers to my problems.

Dr. Gauta is an excellent surgeon who takes his time and really listens to his patients. He has the best staff in Southwest Florida. I cannot recommend his practice enough.

Dr Gauta is a fenomenal, and great Doctor, he listens to you, he shows empathy towards you, he gives you options, and overall hes one of the few physicians that I meet that really enjoys whats doing. Dr. Gauta is out of this world, totally recommended. In the other hand the ladies at front desk are amazing.Its take a little bit of time for an appoinment, but trust me its totally worth it.

My first bladder issues ever. I had a very positive experience and I am grateful we are getting things figured out. The staff was caring, professional and they put me at ease. Their process for new patients and returning patients was very efficient. Very little wait time. The doctor took time to explain the results as well as the treatment plan. I feel hopeful that I am moving forward.

I had a 3:30 appt.; was told I had to be there at 3 so arrived at 2:58. There did not appear to be any reason for this early arrival, as I paid in about 3-5 minutes, and sat waiting for another 40 minutes. Also, Dr. Gauta said he was sending in a prescription to Bonita Pharmacy that afternoon as I left. I went to pick it up today, (Saturday); it was not yet received. Called the office, from pharmacy, could not speak to a nurse to get the prescription sent over. Pharmacy will be closed for holiday on Monday, so would like to get it today (Saturday). Thank you

Excellent staff and doctor. I felt very comfortable when making the appointment, walking in the door dealing with the pleasant staff and talking to Dr J. Gauta. He treats the whole person with dignity and gives well thought out solutions. I was well informed on my situation and is very satisfied with the results of the visit. I highly recommend Dr Gauta to others who are looking for an Excellent bladder doctor and staff in SWFL.Friendly, helpful, caring, very knowledgeable, professional and progressive.The BEST

He was a true professional. Explained procedure & outcome . His staff was excellent as well

Surgery one year ago!!From the time of scheduling my very first appointment to having my surgeries, and countless office visits, Dr Gauta and staff have been outstanding.We often do not find multiple qualities in one physician, however,Dr Gauta’s knowledge, professionalism, and most importantly, his “compassion” for his patients, is beyond exceptional.Dr Gauta had always listened to my problems, never judged or made me feel uncomfortable. He had reassured me every step of the way. I could not ask for anyone better to have taken care of me.I am truly grateful!

After my initial visit Dr. Guata was able to explain the symptoms i was experiencing. My previous Dr had me going through a battery of tests with no resolution. Highly recommend him and his staff are wonderful.

Professional courteous staff, Amy Goetz PA is very knowledgeable, she takes the time to listen & explains options in detail.

Dr. Gautas staff and PA delivered on all the things a patient wants (and deserves!): no waiting, friendly support staff, a personable and knowledgable Physician Assistant, and a treatment plan that gives us hope for a better quality of life. Many Thanks!!

Dr Gauda and his team are knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and caring taking the time to listen and fully explain his findings. I highly recommend Dr Gauda and the Naples Bladder Institute.

Despite traveling from Bar Harbo to see Dr. Gauta he has never steered me wrong and is competent, capable and professional along with his entire staff being top notch. I am unable to obtain this care I need from a physician in Maine and can only see nurse practitioners who are making efforts but do not have the expertise, knowledge and ability. Thank you for your care.

I met with Amy Goetz.She is totally amazing. She is very knowledgeable and is up to date on procedures and medicine. Amy is easy to talk with and puts you at ease. I am so glad I have been able to find her.

I had an appointment with Amy. She was knowledgeable, informative and patient. I didnt feel rushed. She explained the procedure and I felt comfortable with the procedure. Next step was to meet with the surgeon Dr. Gauta.

Dr Gauta was so warm & friendly and made me feel comfortable. Nice when a Dr gives a diagnosis and explains clearlyAlso, office staff was lovelyThank you to all

This is from Margaret Pepe. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The office was clean and neat and quiet. Dr. Gauta was exactly the doctor I was looking for and thankful I saw his ad in the Naples magazine.

Dr Gauta is the best in the area. He take time with each patient. The office staff are all very well trained. Excellent practice.

Dr. Gauta is a world-class doctor and his expertise is truly unbelievable. He undoubtedly saved my life. Especially, his medical expertise in fibroid treatment and successful intervention addressed my heavy bleeding and cured me from severe anemia. His office provided a personalized approach, clear explanations, unparalleled medical treatment and commitment to my well-being during the entire time . I highly recommend Dr. Gauta to anyone facing fibroid challenges. Forever thankful for his role in helping me overcome the toughest times.

Awesome experience. The office has good caring staff. Great visit!!!! Thanks

Great experience; helped me to understand the options I have in treating my condition. Very thorough and complete examination.

Amy was very helpful and very informative.I really appreciate the time she spent with me.

Dr Gauta is very nice. He takes the time to listen to his patientsand then tells you what he can do to help. Hes just a great guy.

Extremely friendly office… from front desk to clinician. Very knowledgeable and spent time answer my questions.

Dr. Gauta and his staff are amazing. From the minute you walk through the door his staff is pleasant, upbeat, compassionate and listen carefully to what you say. Dr. Gauta performed my surgery on 7/13 and my recovery is going well. I asked him to help me feel normal again and I am just about there. He was very reassuring the morning of surgery, answered my last minute questions, and helped to calm the nerves. Rose, PA in Dr. Gauta’s office is wonderful. I saw her for preop and postop. She is so kind, answered all my questions and was very reassuring. Highly recommend Dr. Gauta and his staff.

Dr Gauta is wonderful but his staff is amazing. I wish I remembered all their names. From the receptionist who says “ I got you” when I get there. The lady that makes my appointments. The billing ladyRose the PA is probably the kindest person I ever met. Plus the party of five nurses that saw me yesterday and took care of me with patience and care. Great environment and great practice. I am currently recovering from surgery from last Wed April 5th 2023 thank you to all of you !!!

I had a very pleasant experience with Dr Joseph Gauta, his office staff and his surgical staff. They all listened to my questions, explained procedures clearly, efficiently booked, showed great care day of surgery and excellent follow up care. Nurse Rose even checked in on a Sunday to make sure my leg pain had gone away.I rarely write reviews, but know that I appreciated hearing about other’s experiences with Dr Gauta while I was trying to make a decision about having him do my surgery versus going to my northern doctor.I definitely feel that I made the right decision to place my trust in Dr Gauta.

Receptionist to the Dr are first class! Took the time to explain my challenges and the options an available. Appreciated his bedside manner and thought he put into me. Thank you Dr Gauta!!

This Institute is amazing..!! The doctors are very professionals. Im happy .

He is honestly a god send. The first doctor to listen to me and care after years of trying to get treatment for what turned out to be endometriosis and adenomyosis. He gave me all available treatment options and allowed me to choose what I felt was best for me. I had surgery, and he is highly skilled at what he does. His entire office and surgical staff are caring and warm. My experience with his practice has been nothing but positive.

Dr. Gauta is great. He listens and explains your options. He wants to make it right for you. Hes there for you. The office staff is wonderful. Very nice ladies. Thank you Dr. Gauta!Thank you Amy!Cari J.

Louise Harper. I had a partial hysterectomy, rrctocele, and cystocele8 months ago. I had no pain or nausea. Dr Guata was great and his office staff was also great . Thank you to all.of you.

From the initial phone call to make an appointment to the receptionist the intake nurse and the doctor I knew I was in good hands. Kind, compassionate and professional staff.

Drs. Jospeh Gauta, Lisa Daly, PA Amy Goetz and staff are all great. Thorough, smart, and professional. They are also kind and understanding to make you feel welcome and understood. I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for me.

Dr. Gauta was personal and professional. He told me things that doctors never mentioned in years. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and detail oriented in the medical capacity. He has exceptional patient communication skills and was able to put me at ease quickly.

From the beginning, Dr Gauta and his staff were the most professional and caring staff I’ve ever dealt with. I had a very upsetting medical situation and was disappointed with my own doctor’s inability and lack of desire to even diagnose me. The issue itself was not a big deal to my local doctor sadly. After a lot of research, I found Dr Gauta to be one of the most highly sought after surgeons for my issue. His office got me in right away, diagnosed my issue and gave me several options for treatment inclusive of surgery. One month later, I drove down to Naples from St Augustine for surgery, where the staff at the surgical center, as well as Dr Gauta’s direct staff, were nothing short of amazing. After surgery, they were attentive and compassionate.I am now a little over two Weeks post-op and doing very well. Over the past two weeks, any time I called the office or emailed the patient portal with questions, I got immediate responses and calls from the surgical staff.I cannot recommend this office enough for any pelvic organ issues you may have, even if you are not looking for surgery. They are wonderful.

Dr. Gauta,is not only a Brilliant Doctor, but also a Fine Human Being. He has a way of listening, shows compassion, and has a way of making you feel at home. He really puts himself, on the same level, as his patients, which is very rare ! His support staff is of the Highest Quality also ! Dr Gauta, and his staff, are very high Quality !

Everyone from the front reception desk to the person who took care of me today! Im sorry I forgot her name. She was very helpful and gave me some very good information and some ideas for my visit when I come back in the fall.

Though gynecologist appointments can bring as much stress as the dentist, the rest of my experience here is always so enjoyable. The front desk girls are so kind and sweet, always greeting me with warmth. The nurses I see before my doctor are equally as friendly. Good, productive conversation and guidance. Lastly, my doctor Nicole is so calming and kind that it almost feels like a friend vs a doctor. She is always so pleasant and knowledgeable without any judgement. I’ve seen the other doctor as well, just as wonderful. I love it here. Have been coming for years and don’t see that changing!

Dr. GAUTA is professional and extremely knowledgeable. He is understanding and very easy to talk to. The office is staffed with friendly employees who go the extra mile to make your office visit comfortable. Anne his nurse and Jennifer are to be commended for their helpfulness.I highly recommend the Florida Bladder Institute!

Ive been suffering with pressure and pain in my pelvic area for months and been to a number of different doctors. I hadnt felt this good about my situation until today, Amy listened to my issue and told me we would get to the bottom of it. I wish I could see her for all my health related things.

Complicated pregnancy caused prolapse at an early age and Dr. Gauta had non-invasive and invasive recommendations. We are proceeding with both and after my sling surgery I had normal swelling and voiding issues. He listened to my concerns. Responded respectfully and created a plan of action and spent time reviewing risks, options and provided solutions to my bodys needs. Highly recommend him and his entire team.

I don’t have enough nice things to say about this entire office. The front staff/ nurses are kind & accommodating. Amber his PA is knowledgeable, thorough, and just an overall sweetheart! When I had surgery w/ Dr. Gauta and his bedside manner was outstanding! I am so grateful to have found this office. If you are looking for a new Dr. look no further!

Entire visit was very positive. Staff was friendly, professional and helpful. Dr Gauta asked questions and listened to my concerns and suggested a treatment that will hopefully solve my problem. I am very glad that I was referred to Dr Gauta.

I saw Amy at the Florida Bladder Institute. She was extremely helpful and professional. I left feeling like I have a good handle on my health.

Dr Mark was competent extremely so and most importantly understood all the emotional turmoil I had been going through with two difficult situations,bladder infection,and vaginal discomfort.

I put off prolapse procedure for two years until I found Dr. Gauta. He gave me my active life back. Repaired my blatter and removed my girl stuff. Did an excellent job and I rebounded well. His staff was wonderful and knowledgeable. Thank you Dr. and PA.

From the moment I called to schedule my 1st appointment to my testing I felt cared for. The front desk personnel were kind and sympathetic, there was not a long wait then taken to see Dr. Gauta. His PA was thorough and very nice, then saw Dr Gauta who was patient and not rushed. He took time to get to know you and all your symptoms. To the office personnel, nurses and to Dr. Gauta.....Thank you. I highly recommend Florida Bladder Institute . You made me feel comfortable with an uncomfortable situation. I appreciate it very much. 🤗😊

I was having an incontinence problem, a dropped bladder. I had this problem for 20 yrs. It was only this past year that it was getting worse. It was becoming more embarrassing & I stopped all outside activity. I went online looking for a doctor for help. Dr. Joseph Gauta’s name was the first I saw along with the name of his practice Bladder Institute of Florida. I read as much as I could about him along with all the patient reviews. I decided to go to Dr. Gauta. I’m very uneasy about going to doctors, but Dr. Gauta made me feel relaxed & at ease right away. His knowledge & a solution for me was discussed. A date was scheduled for me to have surgery at the Surgery Center of Naples. It was as an outpatient & I have to say the experience was wonderful. The staff there couldn’t have been better. I’ve since had my follow up appt. at Dr. Gauta’s & everything was deemed well. Just have to wait a few more weeks to heal. I feel like I have my life back now. I want to thank Dr. Gauta & his whole medical & office staff for such wonderful service. Anyone having these same problems, go see Dr. Gauta for help. You won’t be sorry. Patricia Genovese

First of all, Everyone in the office is awesome! Ive been going here for 6 years now... Dr Gauta LISTENS to you!!! He preformed all 3 of my laparoscopy surgeries. He takes the time to explain and answer everything. Amanda is awesome, she listens and explains things to you as well! I really feel like Dr Gauta and everybody who works in his office actually CARE about their patients!! Gail is absolutely AMAZING!!! ♡♡♡ I HIGHLY recommend Dr Gauta!! 👍 ***Renate needs to be recognized for her OUTSTANDING services! And her patience!!!*** Thank you everybody at Especially For Women!!!

Dr Gauta is without a doubt the best doctor I have ever had. He takes the time to explain everything and always tries to make sure you as the patient understand why he is telling you what he does. The staff is also well trained in women’s issues. He also takes care of my 91-year-old mother. He has helped her with issues that no one else has been able to help her with. I could go on and on about him but my advice would be if you have any female problems go see this man you won’t be sorry.

I am rewriting my review 3 years later. Dr Gauta saved my moms life and also changed the quality of her life. She went to MANY gyns and urologists who all said there was no way to fix her problem. The solutions they offered were not even close to acceptable. My mom suffered a decade of painful UTIs and is now resistant to most antibiotics. She was on IV antibiotics for years. FORTUNATELY Dr. Gauta not only had a better understanding of the problem but corrected it surgically and she was up and walking the next day. 3 years later my mom has not had a single UTI. If you think there is no hope just take one more chance on being cured and see this doctor.

From start to finish, this office has been top-notch! The office staff goes above and beyond, explaining everything in full, in a kind and caring way. Dr Gauta and Amber are very knowledgeable and compassionate. In a setting where you could potentially feel uncomfortable, they take great care in making sure youre most comfortable. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Very professional team of Dr s and associates . Dr Gauda I highly recommend is fabulous an works diligently to find a solution. If you want a caring , knowledgeable, an friendly professional, this Team is for you ! You won, t be sorry.Very easy to talk to an they listen, The Best.

Rose is so wonderful. She is patient and understanding and so helpful. Delilah at the front desk is an absolute treasure! Every doctor’s office needs someone as sweet as Delilah. Thank you ladies!

Dr Gauta was warm and had great bedside manner. Spent as much time as needed with me. highly recommend

Dr Gauta and staff put me at ease and answered all my questions

The doctor and the PA really listen, explain and show great respect. You wont leave there without complete understanding, feeling validated and well cared for.

Dr. Gauta and his staff are the best! He was my doctor for many years and he delivered both of my kids. I moved away from Naples 11 years ago but today I drove to Naples for a second opinion about a surgery because I only trust him. He gave me all the answers I needed and now I can relax after 5 months of craziness. Thank you.

In May my husband and I made our permanent residence in Florida. I was fortunate to receive a referral from a friend for Dr Joseph Gauta. Dr Gauta articulated my disorder thoroughly on the Florida Bladder Institute website and I felt confident that I had the right doctor. When I met with Dr Gauta for my appointment he was positive, happy and he joked to make me feel at ease. He explained the details of my surgical procedure and he performed my surgery according to my individual needs. He is a thorough, highly talented and caring surgeon! I am truly blessed and thankful that I had Dr Gauta as my dr and surgeon! He portrays genuine humility for a person who is a top professional in his medical specialty! I am thankful for Dr Gautas team of professionals, Amber, Kim and Kristin. I received the finest care at the Surgery Center of Naples: Dr Hunt Anesthesiologist, Fran the nurse who provided my prep for surgery, as well as the nurses who assisted. God Bless you all!

Its not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that counts.From the moment I called to make an appointment, until being released after a very successful surgery, the entire team at FL Bladder, played a part in giving me a new lease on life! Thank you, Dr. Gauta, & every single person on your staff, for making a difference.....to all of you, for wisdom & expertise, calm & reassurance, willingness to listen, take time to explain thoroughly, & find solutions to situations that were causing pain & discomfort, for your smiles, your empathy & tremendous care. Yall are the Who that counts, the very ones who are thoughtful, kind, caring, encouraging......& I am the patient who is forever Grateful! It was a pleasure & a relief being taken care of by the FL Bladder Institute Family!

This Doctor is by far one of the best here in Naples. For him to pass the Heidi test means a lot. I just do not find that the doctors or the medical care is good here in Naples and so far have only found 2 doctors here in Naples that I like and I find very knowledgeable. Dr. Gauta is one of them. He is a breath of fresh air when I find dealing with the doctors here are very frustrating. My mothers doctor recommended him to us for her frequent utis and now I am thinking of making him my gynecologist. You are never hurried in his office, he takes the time to explain, hes very knowledgeable and compassionate. He really cares about the patient. I cant find anything wrong with him. For once I left the doctors office not feeling angry as I usually do, but feeling good.

My whole experience visiting this office was excellent!!!!

Amy was fabulous! She put me at ease, and explained everything she was doing and what my options were.

Dr. Joseph Gauta & his team at the Florida Bladder Institute are exceptional is every way. Its no wonder people fly in to Naples to be seen by this amazing, specialized urogynecology practice! Clearly, Dr. Gauta is a renowned, highly skilled clinician & surgeon. I particularly appreciated his professional demeanor; excellent interpersonal skills; & clear explanation of the proposed surgical intervention.Any preoperative anxiety I might have experienced was totally allayed during the preoperative counseling & teaching session with Nicole Houser, PA. Nicole is a warm, caring, & gifted clinician with superb teaching skills.In summary, my entire surgical course went very smoothly in every way. I received high quality, comprehensive care from pre op, OR, recovery room at the superb Surgery Center of Naples. Kiera & Steffani, two exceptional RNs with Southwest Florida Home Care, made 5 daily post op visits to help ensure continuity of care.Im still in awe of my smooth post operative course, especially given the complexity of the surgery. Ill be forever grateful to Dr.Gauta and his incredible team for my care & successful operative outcomes. With sincere gratitude & blessings to Dr.Gauta & the entire Florida Bladder Institute team for a job well done!This review comes from a patient perspective & with over 33 years experience as an RN in acute care & as CRNP and CNS in acute care oncology.

Dr Gauta is a great surgeon. However do not use the patient portal for requesting or cancelling an appointment. I had to cancel some appointments and the person who responded to the portal would then send back an appointment time without my confirmation thus not allowing me to see Dr. Gauta.The heavy set woman in the front office has the personality of a wet mop

Dr. Thompson was incredibly wonderful today she was very thorough she went above and beyond and made sure no matter what we will figure this out and get me better. I have been going through pain and suffering for a long time and today i felt like there may soon finally be an answer to what this is and a solution. She listened to all of my symptoms and concerns and we will take it one step at a time and try everything until im better. When i had the ultrasound today Jordan was incredible also she has so much care and passion to help and it meant the world to me specially in these times that she showed so much kindness and was very sympathetic to my situation and went above and beyond she was truly wonderful. I have also worked with Dr. Gauta and will see him soon again to he is an amazing doctor and if you come here you wont be disapointed.

Dr Gauta and his staff are amazing, kind, knowledgable and so welcoming.

Funny how my post was taken down after 2 years.Dr. Gauta is solely responsible . However,the wholeStaff included is responsible.This Dr. and practice will be under serious repercussions that will do right by me and prevent others from going through the same. To say to me that I can’t have intercourse and anything in me for weeks- after a complete hysterectomy- and a week following to check me the nurse stuck her fingers up me. The nurse made me bleed again and no respect for the doctor order or my well being.Also, during the procedure, there was equipment failure and a blown fuse. Then, I was given Ancef that caused a reaction that almost killed me. I had to be put on shots of epinephrine. More to it now as I am seeking legal counsel as he clearly displayed malpractice, both with diagnosis and surgical procedure and follow up. I now have to see an oncologist on August 3rd. If there is a serious problem, your office will be under serious financial obligation for extra pain and suffering.

Dr. Gauta and his staff have been wonderful during the 20 years I have been a patient. I was pregnant 15 years ago and Dr. Gauta was my OB. My pregnancy was normal, until it wasn’t. Dr. Gauta helped us make decisions that allowed me to have a preemie, but a healthy preemie. I have continued to be a patient and see his PA for my visits. Highly recommend Dr. Gauta and his staff.

The check in process was quick and easy: Gail was so kind and professional and answered the questions that she could. Dr.Gauta is so helpful and provided me several options in determining the cause of my symptoms . All in all, my first visit was very good. I am returning for follow up testing. I will certainly recommend this office staff and Dr. Gauta to all.

Its been a year since I had Dr. Gauta repair several issues.  Unfortunately, my symptoms are no better and I have new issues as well.Both the administrative and medical staffs do a great job as long as everything goes according to their plan.  If it doesnt, the admin staff gets belligerent and the medical staff says repeatedly, Im sorry, this sometimes just happens.    The day after my surgery I called in since the prescription was not helping my pain.  I can still hear the NPs voice, I think youre good, this is what we give.  Well I wasnt good, I was in pain.  For almost 2 weeks I had pain, discomfort so bad that I couldnt walk, swelling so bad I couldnt sit down and fatigue so bad that I lost 10 lbs.  All I heard was, Im sorry, this sometimes just happens.   No one had an answer.  I was shocked that only a week later I was released with no follow up even though I was nowhere near back to normal.  I havent been back  to see Dr. Gauta because the trauma of those 2 weeks was so bad that I cant make myself go back up there.TIP:  Go to an OBGYN and get very detailed solutions including surgical techniques.  Do the same for a urologist.  AND once more at a teaching hospital.  Its a lot of money and time but youve got to get it right and you dont want to end up like me --  only 55 years old with a crappy quality of life.

I have had many accidents over the years, wetting my pants because I couldn’t get them pulled down fast enough before sitting on the toilet! After Dr Gauta’s Botox procedure, I have had no more accidents! The urine stays right in my bladder until I sit down on the toilet to let it out! I thank God, and I thank Dr. Gauta and his assistants for helping me overcome my leakage problem! They are the best!

Awesome staff, awesome procedure, just waiting on results 2 weeks later.I am sure it happens rarely but i am still waiting. Everyone was great!!!

My experience with Dr. Gauta has been the best. Bedside manners are excellent and I have been more than satisfied and happy with the service I have received. His staff is extremely helpful and courteous. This has been the best decision I have made in choosing Dr. Gauta for my needs.

Dr. Gauta and the entire staff were friendly and timely. Would highly recommend .

I am a veteran and was sent to this office. All I have is my veteran ID as my proof of insurance with the VA. I walked in greeted with attitude, rolling of eyes, smirking,Etc.. I havent even met the Doctor yet. I am completely irritated and will be discussing my experience as soon as I meet this doctor.

The receptionist was amazing and helped me get to see Dr. Gauta. The whole office staff was amazing. Dr. Gauta is very competent…I trust him completely.

I had a surgery done by a different doctor, who went above and beyond in the worst sense of the term; the surgery wasnt indicated for my condition. That was over 2 years ago. After that surgery problems started with pain in my abdomen including the rectum area and the pelvis. Since I was never explained about the extent of that surgery, I was looking elsewhere for help, including GI doctor, ER visit and a gynecologist. who sent me to Dr. Gauta. It was him who found a piece of mesh sticking out causing bleeding. I was so taken aback that I went to seek a second opinion where I ended up having some of the mesh removed, but I was still in pain. The doctor was telling me that the pain will never go away because it was caused by the original (wrong) surgery. Eventually I came back to Dr. Gauta who was able to fix all my problems and the pain - miraculously - went away. In fact, I think, it was Dr. Gautas skills (golden hands) that I am now pain-free. My only regret is that I had not met Dr. Gauta first. I will be forever grateful for he has done for me!!!

Dr. Gauta showed me on video what my condition is so I finally understood it. Courteous and patient staff.

Dr. Lisa Marks is a wonderful addition to this office!

From my first phone call to my testing and visit with Amber and Dr. Gauta impressed me. Anne did my testing, Jordan and Kristen took care of me at the front desk and in the exam room. All were very kind, considerate and professional.

I have been a patient here a long time. Everyone is knowledgeable, caring, and timely. Gail always lets me know when my tests are due back so I am not biting my finger nails. All my friends go here and feel the same way. Very proud to be part of this practice.

I felt bullied the first minute making an appointment, I felt bullied when I received a confirmation phone call to say it is mandatory to arrive 30 minutes before my appointment. I felt bullied when asked for my insurance card and license, I was handed paper work and told it needs to be completed in 10 minutes. They do not let you fill out paperwork prior to your appointment. Before I could even start to fill out the paperwork I was asked to pay my co-pay $208. I said I will hurry and fill this out and then pull out my credit card and she said she needs it now -it’s policy. If this is the policy to be bullied before seeing a medical professional, I can’t even imagine how rushed the appointment will be. I did not stay - I will not pay to be bullied at 50+ years old.

From the first impressions, the staff was warm and friendly. That gives me, as a patient, confidence and ease. Dr. Gauta, was the same and am thankful for his professionalism and thoroughness and going further to discover any other women problems that I was not aware of. Thank you!

Forever grateful to have found Dr.Gauta. only 38yrs old & have had bladder issues 20yrs. I used every urologist in my area with no luck whatsoever. Desperate I searched everywhere in Florida I found Florida Bladder Institute 2.5 hours away & was willing to drive to see if I would have any luck. I was extremely shocked when he found the issue instantly. I was so happy never in 20yrs have I been given any hope. Highly recommend this place due to him being extremely smart & having such a kind staff.

Terrible patient care. No empathy towards patients chronic medical condition and not willing to go outside his own treatment plan even though it is not effective.Lets patients suffer in pain. Not willing to help patient with paperwork so patient can keep getting money in to support family when she cant work because Dr. Gauta not knowledgeable enough to treat patient correctly. I would give zero stars if that were an option.

Dr. Gauta performed a very important and unexpected surgery on me. He has such a phenomenal bedside manner that always comes from a highly educated & respectable place with a comprehension of not only the female anatomy but the Feminine Psyche that comes along with our bodies. I have only felt safe,respected encouraged and enlightenment in each and every encounter with Dr.Gauta. His support staff is of the highest level of quality in healthcare. I feel he is the best and surrounds himself with only the best team suited for the greatest outcome in our health. He runs through a multitude of checks and balances before he even ponders performing surgeries ...I have only respect admiration and appreciation for his high quality healthcare skills. THANKS DOC. FOR CHOOSING HEALTHCARE AS THE PATHWAY OF YOUR LIFE. I AM ABUNDANTLY BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE THAT YOU ARE IN THIS PROFESSION. I Must also mention Ann by name. This woman treats patients as family. Her tenderness and graciousness are of the purest form of love in a profession if I have ever seen and I have a multitude of experience from this side of the healthcare industry. Thank you all at Florida Bladder Institute. You truly have made a major impact in and on my life. Your support and understanding of what my health issues brought to my husbands life, too, does not go unnoticed. You all are recognized. appreciated and need to be commended for everything through this journey for My husband and myself. Thank you Again. ♥️

I am surprised and disappointed that the professionals and employees do not wear masks when we are in the middle of a pandemic. All medical offices I have visited in the past year and a half have required masks. Nobody in this office wore one. My husband has cancer so I need to be very careful not to carry disease home to him.

Dr. Gauta is simply the best, both as a medical specialist and a surgeon. I have a complicated medical history that includes extensive Endometriosis, PCOS and Interstitial cystitis. At 3 months post op from a hysterectomy & endometriosis removal I am thrilled to say I am pain free and fully recovered. No doubt this is due to Dr. Gautas extensive knowledge as a doctor, and talented skill as a surgeon. Also his office team and nursing staff are friendly, professional and helpful.

Its still early in my treatment but Dr. Gauta recommended a 6 month long treatment plan and Im so optimistic. He explained everything and it made sense to me. Urologists and Gynecologists individually were not able to put the pieces together like Dr Gauta.

Dr. Gauta took his time to explain in detail my diagnosis and treatment options. He is always professional and thorough. His office and medical staff have always been courteous and responsive to my concerns.

Dr Gauta has been great over the years from when I was having babies to now that I am done and having Essure. He and his staff have been helpful and informative, and are quick to get me in as needed.

My doctor always provides exceptional patient care. Ranada is so friendly. She makes coming to my appointments and checking out so pleasant, even after difficult appointments.

Words cannot express how great Dr. Gauta and his staff are! I have never met a doctor that spends so much time with you to address your questions. I wish there were more doctors like him. Wish I found him early!

Excellent surgeon. Removed a huge fibroid, etc through lap. hyst. I would highly recommend Dr. Gauta. Pick this doctor and office if you dont want to be babied through a long hospital stay. I needed to get this problem I had problem solved and back to my life all while being treated like a family member. Extremely impresssed. Medical care in Naples is just not very good, I dont know where this Dr. came from but he fixed the problem and I am grateful

I was just referring someone, and I stop by to give my review, Dr Gauta and the staff are awesome. He was the doctor that help me in my 1st son labor which he is 13 now, and also help me with C-section for the 2nd one. Very nice and professional.

Dr. Gauta is the best! Warm and welcoming staff up front and compassionate and caring staff that assists Dr. Gauta. I feel grateful every day to have such a great doctor in my area.

Office staff was pleasant, my appointment was on time, I felt as if my concerns were heard.

This is my 5th Gynocologist in Naples. I finally have a great practice I can count on. I will be recommending Dr. Gauta for sure. Dr. Gauta gives you time, answers questions without feeling rushed and the office vey helpful and informative. He uses the latest methods. It is a practice that engenders trust. I could write more and more!--Mary Catherine White
