“I have known Dr. Ozaktay for many years, and he is the best pain management doctor in Florida. It's important to know that he's also a fine human being. I first came to him when my husband was dying, and I didn't have time or patience for the pain. I was a complete hysterical mess, and he calmed me down and took time to evaluate my pain. He added me to his full schedule of procedures because I was suffering. In all the years I've known him he has always been kind, caring and extremely professional. It's not easy for me to trust people, but I have trusted him with my life!”
