Very professional doctor she tells you exactly what she's looking for what she's doing and very straight about not performing a surgery if not needed and explained my results from test taken. Would highly recommend her.

Dr Otto is definitely a cut above! She is extremely knowledgeable, and very willing to take the time to answer questions and explain. She has always made us feel that she truly cares about us, like we are family. She has been treating our mother and we are so thankful to God for her! She is delightful!

Dr. Otto will forever be one of my favorites! Calmed my fears of having my thyroid removed. Surgery went well and I have no visible scar to show. If you have to have your thyroid removed, please do yourself a favor and go se the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!

Dr. Otto performed a thyroidectomy on me at Moffitt Cancer Center an did an excellent job! Throughout the process Dr. Otto was very informative and confident. I am very happy with my results, my incision is very clean, straight, and after only two months the scar has shrunk significantly and is already starting to fade. She had some experience in cosmetic surgery so I feel lucky to have had her as my surgeon. She is a great Doctor, highly recommend.

I was recently diagnosed with squamous carcinoma of the tongue which statistically has a rather grim prognosis. I was lucky enough to be referred to Dr. Otto for my evaluation and surgery which consisted of a partial glossectomy and the excision of various lymph nodes in my neck. Her surgical skill and bedside manner are beyond compare. If you are diagnosed with cancer of the head and neck or any ancillary issues, seek out Dr. Otto at the wonderful Moffitt Cancer Center. Did I mention that I love Dr. Otto? Oh and yes, I am free of cancer.
