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, Anna Maria Island, 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—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.

Having lived in Charleston, SC as a child and then moving to the Midwest for high school, college and medical school, Dr. Lourié was always drawn back to the ocean. He graduated from DePaul University in Indiana in 1981 with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in biology with a minor in physics. He completed his internal medicine internship and residency at Emory University in Atlanta in 1992. He specialized in interventional cardiology and nuclear cardiology, graduating from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston in 1995 where he met his wife. They then moved to Bradenton in 1995. At age 32, Dr. Lourié was one of the youngest to be accepted as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology in 1996. He has been board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, interventional cardiology and nuclear cardiology. He has served on the local board of the American Heart Association and the Manatee Medical Society as well as numerous medical committees at both Manatee Memorial and Blake hospitals. He was the director of the cardiac cath lab at Blake hospital for 12 years and was listed in Strathmore's Who's Who in America in 2000, named Doctor of the Year in 2004 and Consumers’ Research Council of America's Top Cardiologists in 2010.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE. Having witnessed the erosion of quality care in medicine and a push by corporate and insurance industries toward a one-size-fits-all care model known as "protocol-based care", I knew I could deliver better personal care. So in 2010, I developed our current concierge practice which places the focus on the personal needs of the patient: not the insurance company. Our contract is between the patient and the doctor so we have been able to develop relationships with radiology centers, labs, pharmacies and specialists, etc. which allow much quicker access to service when needed. This is frequently achieved at a much lower price than it would cost through an insurance company without all the typical built-in delays and denials that people have become forced to accept through the traditional medical practice. We turn the standard medical practice of waiting until something is broken upside down by preventing our biggest health threats before they can strike. We actively look for and manage early stages of conditions to prevent diseases that can land you in the hospital which require invasive medical procedures and cost thousands of dollars to treat in an emergency. Our practice has been so successful that it has been full for over 7 years now. WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART? We deliver
what is now missing from most medical practices and certainly in hospital based care: excellent personal service, prompt appointments, and direct evaluation by your physician: not a nurse practitioner or physician's assistant. We routinely refer to the top medical centers in the US when someone's health depends on it. One of our primary goals is to keep people out of the hospital: and it works. We are focused on teaching people how to achieve and maintain health through lifestyle changes that have been proven to prevent strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer and dementia.

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.

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 board-certified dermatologist, a noted Top Doctor in the region.
I founded Bliss Dermatology as a private, physicianowned, full-service dermatology practice where the patient is the focus of our daily work. Unlike many larger groups with corporate structures, Bliss Dermatology prides ourselves on being nimble and flexible to meet the evolving needs of our patients and referring physicians. The culture I created at Bliss Dermatology focuses on being the best in class for medical and surgical dermatology, laser, and aesthetic services. HOW DOES YOUR PRACTICE IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PATIENTS? As a double board-certified physician and
fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon who has completed nearly 10,000 cancer surgeries, I have expertise that is hard to find. With the shortage of dermatologic surgeons in our area, I provide expertise in skin cancer surgery, reconstructive procedures, and cosmetics services. Patients can schedule skin exams, surgeries, cosmetic and aesthetic services under one roof, improving lives through consistent care and relationships.

WHAT MAKES THE DATTOLI CANCER CENTER SO SPECIAL? Drs. Dattoli and Soni have trained at the
finest academic cancer research hospitals in the United States and have assembled the largest non-surgical prostate cancer research facility in the world. They have published the highest cure rates with the lowest side effects imaginable and over 50% of patients come to the Dattoli Cancer Center from out-of-state or out of the country after extensively exploring their treatment options. These results are accomplished using pinpoint precise radiation called "Dynamic Adaptive Radiotherapy" (DART), pioneered at the Dattoli Cancer Center. Meanwhile, no cancer center in the world has as much experience utilizing brachytherapy. The same technologies are utilized to treat other cancer sites, especially breast cancer, also with unparalleled results.

tions 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.

in-hand in having a profound impact on your gut health. A balanced diet not only promotes regular bowel movements but also prevents constipation. Conversely, consuming excessive amounts of processed foods, high-fat content and spicy foods can lead you down a road to digestive discomfort, acid reflux and gastritis. Hydration also plays a key role, as does maintaining a healthy body weight through regular exercise to reduce the risk of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and gallstones. With over two decades of experience in gastroenterology, my goal with every patient is to listen, learn and thoroughly investigate to discover the heart of the problem – and give them choices for treatment, from lifestyle modifications to medications and procedures.

TONANTZIN MATHEUS, MD HOW IMPORTANT IS LIVER HEALTH, AND HOW CAN I MAINTAIN IT? The liver serves as your body’s metabolic
powerhouse and plays a pivotal role in various bodily functions, which is why maintaining its health is extremely important. It’s a vital organ that aids in digestion, filters toxins from your blood, stores energy and metabolizes nutrients. Keeping your liver healthy can help prevent diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis and fatty liver disease. Adopting a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats, staying hydrated and limiting alcohol consumption are all proactive measures you can take to ensure your liver maintains longevity. As a board-certified gastroenterologist who specializes in liver diseases, I stress the importance of prioritizing a healthy lifestyle and, when needed, timely intervention that can improve your quality of life.

AVANTIKA MISHRA, MD WHY IS COLORECTAL SCREENING SO IMPORTANT?
Colorectal screening holds significant importance due to several key factors. Firstly, it plays a crucial role in detecting colorectal cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages, thereby improving survival rates. Moreover, screening can identify and remove precancerous growths or polyps, reducing the risk of cancer development. Given that colorectal cancer often presents no early symptoms, regular screening is essential for early detection. Individuals with a family history of the disease are at increased risk, further emphasizing the importance of routine screening. Lastly, early detection through screening can lead to less invasive and more effective treatment options, ultimately enhancing a patient’s quality of life.

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 understand symptoms and early screening. With this work, we can save lives.

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.
