Dr King told me that my healthy 18 year old son died after he did surgery. And minimized the impact of losing my healthy son after he did a "simple surgery." He told me that I should "pray for a miracle" after he drilled into my son's skull without any imaging assistance and hemorrhaged to cause his death and donate all of his organs. He also failed to implant a device to measure his CSF after he drilled into my son's skull and caused massive hemorrhage which led to his death and ORGAN donations. I had the ME review this case and the Charlotte County Police do so. No justice for his death. The Charlotte County Police/Sherriff and Medical Examiner's Office deemed my son's death as a "blunt force trauma to his skull." He had several deep skull fractures, bruise at the site of impact, and ALL of it was dismissed.

My 18y/o healthy son died after Dr. King did surgery on the "smallest Aneurysm I've ever done surgery on." He told me that my son would "die if I don't do surgery." After his surgery, he walked into the waiting room and stated: "I drilled a hole in his skull to relieve the pressure, and there was blood everywhere. I had to remove half of his skull. You better pray for a miracle because he's not going to live."

Dr. King saw me and fought the insurance company to get a brain shunt inserted. He has a wonderful bedside manner and keeps the family informed. As a bonus I unintentionally made him laugh as he prepared for surgery. I highly recommend him.

Husband couldn't walk, saw several other doctors and physical therapist, none of them compared to Dr King. Dr King knew my husband needed lower lumbar spinal fusion, took him 3 hours and my husband made full recovery. We are forever grateful and humbled to have this skilled man bless us with his knowledge and abilities. Wouldn't recommend any other doctor. Dr King is a wonderful person

Dr king is AMAZING! I cannot say enough good about him. He treated me for a brain tumor and my father for back and neck issues. He has excellent bedside manner and keeps in communication with the family during surgery. Highly recommended!
