Alyosha Tunkle's Online Review Report Card

Has done 2 surgeries on me. Excellent outcomes on both. Hernia and breast cancer. Explains everything very well including risks and expectations.

I recently called to speak with Dr. Tunkle about a treatment for COVID that she would need to order for me. I called three times and told the person who answered the phone each time that it was very important that the order was taken care of as soon as possible. I was told the messages were in her bucket (inbox?). I never received a call from her and I will definitely be leaving her practice. Even before this experience I found her rather inattentive and I preferred seeing her PAs.

Dr. Tunkle is fantastic -- her staff is accommodating and friendly.

I had an evaluation by Dr. Tunkle and was told I had a small inguinal hernia which needed surgery. I went for a second opinion and was told I did not have a hernia. I went for a third opinion and again was told I did not have a hernia. I would have had an unnecessary surgery. You have been warned.

I originally went to see a competitor of Dr. Tunkles, and felt very uncomfortable, and wished to seek a second opinion. As soon as I walked in he made me feel comfortable, had a great staff, and sat one on one with me for 15 minutes going over the process and any questions. The day of surgery and surgery process was extremely professional. After the surgery I had a few minor problems and was actually able to speak to Dr. Tunkle personally at 7 PM. Would 10/10 recommend. Great surgeon,

When I called to make an appointment the staff member I spoke with was short and spoke like she was doing me a favor by answering the phone. She was a little rude and gave me a bad feeling about going in the way she spoke to me. I thought maybe she was having an off day and gave the office the benefit of the doubt. When I arrived for my 8:45 appointment on January 29th, 2019 I was checking in with a nice woman and then a different staff member came up behind her and wanted verify I was there for my "female checkup". I said yes, a little confused because I had made the appointment for that service and then she proceeded to tell me they could not preform that without a physical as well. I said I was there for the "female checkup" and she said since they're not a GYN they have to preform the physical. I asked if there was a pricing difference because I was paying out of pocket. This woman said she didn't know and left to go check. A couple minutes later she comes back into view and without acknowledging me whatsoever she says to the nice woman checking me in "go ahead and check her in. They'll figure it out back there. Keep it as it is." And then the nice lady checks me in. I'm thinking to myself, why wasn't this addressed when I made my appointment? Are you going to tell me the pricing?When making an appointment they go through all these steps to verify who I am and what I'm coming in for, they don't check prerequisites for services? I came to the office to check up on something potentially serious. I felt that the staff acted like I didn't matter and they were shuffling me through. I should've read the vibe of the lady on the appointment phone call and knew that this office wasn't looking out for their patients. I'm not a person to leave a bad review but I felt that the community should know what kind of attitude and service they will receive at this office. So after I sat there for a moment upset and unsure of what was even going to happen with this appointment I got up and told another woman (the two women I originally delt with weren't at the front at this point) I had to leave and would not be taking my appointment. This office left me with bad feelings and feeling little and as if I don't matter. That's not the kind of business I care to suppport.

I've learned that, in this town, a doctor who treats their Medicare patients with respect and dignity is very, very rare. But Dr. Tunkle is a cut above the rest. I go to her for every little thing, and I know her time with each patient is limited. Nonetheless, she's exceptionally patient, explains things and never makes me feel insignificant. My only complaint is that her office (like most) will call you with any test results. If no significant problems were discovered, you're left with no answers. Though I think this may be the standard policy for most doctors these days.

Great surgeon! Not the most talkative guy but who cares? Excellent skills. Operated on me 5 times in 2009 - put me back together like new. Forever grateful.

I only saw Dr. Tunkle one time, in the hospital, when I was admitted for gall bladder surgery. He did not say much that I can remember. When I went to his office for my post op visit, I did not get to see him at all. Only a nurse. I waited over 35 min for my appointment and only spent about 5 min with the nurse....was disappointed I did not see Dr. Tunkle. I would like to know if there was a problem during my surgery. My anesthesia bill shows a emergency code on it. 99140. Why?

Dr Ashely Tunkle is one of the best doctors I've ever had. She's been my general practitioner since 2005, for 10 years. She is very down to earth, modern, very mindful and educated (as all doctors should be). I've been to her every year and sometimes several times per year when surprise medial issues arise as they sometimes do. My general check ups have always gone smooth. When I've needed a specialist, she's had great referrals. When I've called the morning-of waking up to a sore throat or alarming aches n pains, her office staff and assistant Jennifer have always treated me with respect and compassion, getting me in to see Dr Tunkle ASAP. I've always felt comfortable in her office, in her examination room and in her presence. Her staff and assistant have great follow-up. Billing has consistently run smooth. I trust and confide in Dr Tunkle 100% and because of my encouragement, 2 of my friends have gladly started going to her as their primary care physician. Dr Tunkle recently switched to Millennium Physician Group from NCH, which is fine, as she's located in the same building off Goodlette Rd in Central Naples. Two thumbs up, Dr Tunkle is a top notch physician in Naples, Florida.
