The Best 12 MEDICAL SERVICES near Panama City, FL (Part 3)

Sarah Kotranza Dr. Josten "cared" for my grandmother. She had dementia and various heart issues. After getting shingles and being in severe nerve pain he refused to prescribe her any pain medications, refused to recommend her for hospice (which she needed), and then suggested an esophageal dilation procedure to "help her gain weight". There was no swallow test done and no diagnostic reasons for that procedure. We switched physicians and he prescribed her lidocaine patches (which helped with her pain), a steroid (which helped her gain weight), and once my grandfather realized she was not improving (and had gotten over the false optimism provided by Dr. Josten) helped get her enrolled in hospice care. She died peacefully in hospice care for which I am forever grateful.

MIke Price Dr. Josten is the best. He takes the time needed for his patients and he truly cares.

Malcolm Jester I was there on March 12, all the staff were absolutely amazing! From the triage nurses to my personal nurse and the doctors, as well as all the staff that did my scans after my motorcycle accident. All of the people working in this facility care so much for the people coming in! This was the best experience I’ve ever had in any ER, And although I do, hope it is my last Visit, if I ever have to go to an emergency room again, I will come back to Bay. No questions asked!

Sherry Douglas The staff was very helpful and efficient checking me in. I had to wait about 30 minutes for an examination room. After getting settled in a room Jessica, my nurse, did everything to ensure my comfort as I waited for tests to be conducted and then wait for the results. The doctor listened as I answered his questions so he could determine the tests I needed. Overall my experience was good and I am completely satisfied that I received the best medical care and treatment.

daritey alicia (ali) The doctors the nurse and the surgeons of phenomenal and I do greatly appreciate my housekeeper Miss Brenda on the 4th floor she didnt excellent job and if I asked her about something she also gave me the information it as well we obtained to housekeeping details.

Trudi Stout It was a quick & easy procedure from my side, The pain was gone as soon as I woke up from surgery! After having knee pain for a decade I felt great. The room was pleasant and the staff even more so. The nurses and doctors were so accommodating and PT was there almost immediately. You all made the fear of having a knee replacement evaporate! Thank you so much!

Dee Cassidy Dr Patel, and Drs Welsh and their staff are wonderful. They have never refused to see my husband and me. They take care of all records of us so they know what is going on with our health at all times. We are in our seventies and need a doctor that we can rely on. They have a nurse named Missy that we are especially fond of. She knows her job!! We give them A+++ !! I would recommend them to everyone we know. We don’t live in Bay County anymore but we still travel to Panama City when we need to see a doctor.

Connie Gibbs Dr. Jigish Patel is the best primary care Dr. in Bay County. He is a very knowledgeable and caring physician. My husband, being retired military, has had several medical issues. Dr. Patel has been on top of all of them and keeps a close check on him and his checkups with his specialist.

brittney smith I had a wonderful birth experience with Dr. J with my second child. I saw him frequently while at the hospital, and he was always kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable. His office staff was always friendly and were happy to find out any answers to questions I had when I called. If I were having any more children, he would be the dr I go too! Thanks again doc!

Kristin Welch Dr. Jackson is extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He genuinely seems to light up when he’s dealt with any of my pregnancies. I couldnt ask for a better OBGYN! I’d recommend him to anyone.

Victor Lamm I started seeing Dr Mohamed late March of this year. I must say the care and understanding thru interactive dialogue make the difference for me. This has been the most successful life changing I have ever accomplished with his guidance and feedback.

Valeria Perez Doesn’t give right medications. Nice doctor and staff but focus on other things and wastes time. Very expensive and has to pay in cash. Have to wait 2 hours to attend you even after the appointment time. Talks on the phone during the session. Doesn’t listen to you and the session lasts like 5 min even after waiting two hours and him interrupting you to talk about other things or talk on the phone during session. Please don’t waste your time. It’s absurd to pay $100 if you don’t come. Doesn’t accept literally any type of insurance!! He is hungry just for MONEY. I told him the medications were not helping me and he didn’t listen to me. He just made the session about him.

Todd Gill I just want to thank you for saving my life. In 2013 i over dosed on pain meds and sleep meds. I was active duty Air Force at the time. The military ward was amazing the staff was all great. The food was really good. Thank you. Todd

Hollywood I just want to start by saying GREAT place. I recently completed a transformative six-week IOP therapy program at Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital with a wonderful therapist by the name of Zachary Kuster. Zachary Kuster is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had in my entire life and thats coming from someone who attended therapy since the age of 11, and who is now a mother of a high school senior. This guy definitely knows what he’s doing. I actually looked forward to therapy weekly as each session gave me the tools to manage my mental health in a practical and meaningful way. If you’re looking for some cookie cutter then Zach may not be for you. Along with this, the psychiatrist Claire Tiglao was absolutely amazing. She was engaging, honest, and very encouraging. Also, the front desk was attentative and always responded in a timely manner and was always pleasant.

Kelsey Agosto I am genuinely satisfied with the care & treatment my son has received thus far. The front desk staff are all very nice & helpful. The back of the house ladies are even better. They are easy to get up with, schedule sick visits same day, & providers I have seen so far have been 10/10. Our favorite providers: Kenawy, Tabbaa, & Allison Davis

Jim Knutson The doctors and most nurses are nice. Unfortunately, when you call you will never get anyone on the phone. They don’t do walk ins which is fine but when you make an appointment plan on waiting a good bit past to be seen. They sent my child’s prescription to the wrong pharmacy and it took me going back to the office to find out where they sent it 24 hrs later.

Natasha Stamati I only have amazing things to say about this practice. I came in for a consult, and after being seen and examined they went over all possible treatment plans. They were very transparent about the whole process. I had some questions and Dr. Caspary answered them all, so I felt very confident in scheduling surgery with him. Dr. Caspary was very attentive during all follow up appointments, and generally made me very comfortable and confident in my choice. The office staff is also amazing! Check in was always smooth, and they always showed care and professionalism. They really make you feel like family!

Michael Lasley I went to this office yesterday for the first time, I called and made an appointment just the day before and they were able to see me the next day. The office was very nice and the lady at the front desk was very helpful I saw Kristen Brown who was super nice and listened very carefully and was able to treat me very fast although my condition was minor (heavy wax build up) she was able to clear the wax very quickly she also checked my throat and nose and prescribed medication for my mouth problems. Over all experience was great.

David Petsuch This office appears to be closed. They do not answer their phones. $300 for a visit is criminal at best.

kathy tucker Dr A is a good caring dr . My husband and I both see him he is kind patient really listens to you . Always gets us feeling better . And Christa Brown is very good as well.

Steve Somerville First time at a VA clinic. Very clean, was received right at my appointment time. Staff was great. Doc was great too.

Jason Heise They straight up abandoned over 100 veterans by canceling a program that really benefitted people. Didnt even tell us. We were sitting on zoom every week for a month and they didnt even tell us it was canceled! Finally someone heard through the grapevine that this happened! They didnt even tell over 100 vets themselves! This clinic is absolutely worthless! There is no excuse what they have done. Hope they are freaking proud of themelves! Why did you erase your old reviews? Trying to "start again"? F all that! You cant harm over 100 veterans, not tell them and be like "lets just a new review page". This clinic straight up needs to be closed and I have alot of support on that. It is absolutely ridiculous!

Steve Kim was very helpful helping me fill in the check in process. Angel to come out of her office to assist me. As I proceeded through the checking and preparing for my surgery everyone was knowledgeable and efficient. Always pleasant. Able to answer my questions. Kept my waiting family informed. I would give a rating 10 of 1 to 10. Would be happy to recommend Sacred Heart.

MaryJane Quesnel I went to ER because I needed assistance with shortness of breath and hypoxia. Showed up with a low sat, pulse ox for documentation. Assisted with care within minutes. Had a procedure done here last year, knew I was in the system. ER staff was excellent. Testing departments were respectful and supportive. Visited several. Large quiet room on 5N. As a retired RN appreciated the respect of nursing staff, med techs, lab techs. Loved the Hospitalist, took time and care addressing current, prior, and concerns for future. Still a ways to go to my perfect, thanks for the opportunity to share my bad day to a better day. Chef salad was delicious, my favorite meal.
