Luke Dahl Dr. Ciccone (ER doctor) must have been having a terrible day. Unfortunately, this gets passed-on to the patient. Bedside manner = -10! In all my years of doctor and/or hospital visits, NEVER, EVER, EVER have I encountered a "healthcare provider" that was so rude. This guy could really, truly benefit from some emotional intelligence training. Even the staff was apologizing for his behavior. How sad! Your subordinates are making excuses for you. Lose the God complex and recognize the fact that you are only human, too! I will never visit this hospital again. The fact that doctors can get away with this behavior is beyond troublesome. Be sure that Northside is your last choice!

Katie Burrows If you’re someone who actually reads reviews and you’re looking for a good doctor, please read this very carefully. Dr Marci Johns is not professional nor is her receptionist Connie. Dr Marci will rush you & make you feel uncomfortable for even coming in, in the first place. She does not care about her patients. Which is very clear by the 3 stars and reviews that she has. (I didn’t know this until now.) They will also send you a letter in the mail stating that you have been “dropped” as a patient after you had already cancelled your appointment with them first. Which I found very odd. This was specifically for the way I was spoken to over a blood test. Mind you this was my 3rd appointment within a year. Communication goes a long way and you have got to do better. Have a better day ladies or you won’t have a job soon with all these poor reviews and people you’re scaring away! It’s already hard enough going to the doctors for some, you just make it 10x worse!

Joe Joe I recieved a letter from Dr. May that she is quitting being my primary care provider. Last I saw her it was for chronic health issues that, since the beginning of the year, she has refused work with me on. In addition, she did a horrible (essentially nonexistent) job exlaining how the process of diagnosis to treatment would go. Dr. May has resigned herself to treatment at the direction of insurance companies she will not stand up against. She will not fight for you. She will not advocate for you. She is the reason people just opt to go the the ER even when it isnt an emergency - because you cant pay her enough to care. Try for yourself and watch as she struggles to keep eye contact and pays you little mind during evaluations. Call her out and youll get a resignation letter from her as well. She should shift her practice to telemed while that is popular - she *might* be good enough for that.

Emanuela Colafranceschi My dad stayed for a month at the 3rd floor of the Neurology section of this hospital and I cant thank enough the whole crew of nurses, assistants, doctors and nurse practitioners that help me and my dad through this though time. He only speaks Italian and each of them found the way to communicate with him and help him recover and be happy! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! Emanuela & Giorgio Colafranceschi

John Doe These people are impossible to get ahold of to schedule an appointment. Ive called countless times and every time I get sent to some call center where they say "the clinic has a high volume of calls, please call later".

Anastasiia Karpova I want to express my immense gratitude to every staff member who works at this hospital and helps people! I was admitted with a severe case of pneumonia, and the staff took great care of me. Every single person was incredibly polite and offered help at any moment. I have never experienced such thoughtful care anywhere else. I am deeply grateful to you—you don’t just treat people, you also warm their hearts! Thank you! Anastasia

Dasha I had a great experience with the staff and medical attention I received for a laceration. Dr.Mark who did my stitches was amazing and made me feel calm through the whole process. He was the best truly. All the nurses who were involved were also phenomenal. Very kind, calm, positive, and overall really good people. Thank you Bayfront!

Hank Ripley I have to CHANGE my review for this location and my recent experience. I have been a patient for some time and in the past have been more than dissatisfied. Today that was the opposite case. Thanks to the extreme hard work of Vera over the past few months, my experience today was phenomenal!! Since she has been working with me and for me with my Dr and the other staff, I have seen a 1000% turnaround. The pharmacy staff was extremely helpful the past few visits and even helped with a insurance issue that would have been a disaster 6 months ago. I want to thank Vera and I HOPE she gets the recognition she deserves for being unrelenting in her desire to improve my health and my experience with THIS location of Evara Health. Keep up the AMAZING work Vera and dont let ANYONE change your heart.

Gabriela Isabel please run so far away from this facility. the nurse practitioner nurse quam or quan was seriously so unprofessional. she was rude, off putting, and not very knowledgeable. for example, she did not know what “eczema”was… super concerning. it was very frightening that the nurse was lacking medical knowledge. save your time and go somewhere else.

tracey garland Dr Joy was the absolute worst. She rushed through my appt. She didnt even ask me any questions and I went in to see her for chest pain. She gave me zero answers zero tests and zero plans. I left feeling like I had wasted my time and money. It was very depressing. She is a gaslighter and does not care at all about her patients. Seek another profession, Joy. If I could give zero stars I would.

magdoli miller A complete nightmare for those possible new patients looking to see a specialist. My primary care Dr sent me to see a Neuromuscular specialist, and my insurance said, they are the one on my network. Their rules " IF YOU ARE NOT A REGULAR PATIENT WITH OUR PRYMARY CARE DRS. WE CAN NOT SEE YOU". Do not insist, they are not going to see you. Customer service, was average, I waited over 30 minutes for a human being to take my call. What is worst, my insurance is very expensive, I paid it every month, it is automatically taken from my paychecks so I dont know what is worst, the insurance, this places rules or my condition. The only one left suffering is the patient because no even with money you can have a good service in here. We are becoming 3r world country . I live 1 1/2 hour away to this place, my primary care Dr., I rather have it close to me. This situation is messed up.

Mag Pugs I mean this when I say, this was quite literally the most efficient, pleasant ER experience I’ve ever had. I came in with some significant burns to my chest and torso (pain was there but bearable enough to be ready to wait, considering it’s the ER and all) checking in was smooth, vitals 10 minutes later, triage 30 minutes later, and taken back in another 5 minutes. Now I understand burns can take priority over some cases so I may have been pushed through faster, but still very quick considering. Trey whom escorted me back was uplifting and happy. Both my P.A and nurse were comforting and quick and all within 3 hours, I’m treated + bandaged and pain free. To the entire staff on 1/23/25 around 6pm, thank you!!

Chance Richards Terrible. Went in due to a heart issue with specific instructions from my PCP to have an echocardiogram done. They proceeded to keep me in a room for ~4 hours, run multiple tests like EKGs that had already been done just hours earlier by my doctor (all documented on materials I gave them upon arrival), and NOT run an echocradiogram. To top it off, they left me in a room for the final hour+ without letting me know I was free to go, it tooko a nurse wondering why I was still in the room for someone to let me know I was cleared. So after not doing the echo at all, I had to pay elsewhere to get it done and then got hit with an 8k bill for services I clearly didnt need done. I dont have the money to pay the remaining balance (~3500$) that my insurance refuses to cover, and BayCare refuses to work with me to reduce the bill despite acknowledging that the services rendered "may not" have been necessary. Avoid at all costs.

Michael Bitler Do not recommend. Update. 03/27/2024 still a horrendous experience. More like a comedy club. You pay to wait for hours while they eat lunch and cant get scheduling correct. Dont try to call. No. You end up talking to a call center in Miami. Walk in. Yeah, now they want to do teledoc. Well, thats a farse too. Waiting hours now. Walked back in since I cant call. Woops. Theres another emergency... Every time. They cant keep DRs here. The "Office manager" yeah. Its all a joke. Yeah. What can I say. They tanked after the buyout. Call center is frustrating. No callbacks, no answer most of the time. Communication is dismal. Messages left on answering machines from them are incomplete. Identifying as "Clinical Care" as the business name. No clue who they are presently. Told medications in person will be ordered immediately. By the time we get home, pharmacy confirms nothing ordered. Not the first time this has occurred. Says "Walk ins Welcome!" On the door. Yep, nope. No way. Discharged from a hospital?.... No problem! Just make your appointment for a few weeks out. No, not the 3 days or less the hospital recommends. Yeah, make that 5 weeks now I am finally getting an appointment. Bacterial infection!? They take care of those too! 3 weeks after the fact. Whats the point of a DR office when you cant have your illnesses and concerns addressed in a timely fashion? Seven years my family and I have been going here. Treated like a new patient each time we show up with the large turnover of staff they have here. My son was denied service due to him turning 18. He has to be a new client and they are full I was told. We came in after his 18th as they had scheduled us to. Lets not forget the hurry up and wait policy. Show up early, wait hours to be seen. Show up on time, they reschedule you another day. Show up late, yeah. Dont do that. They try to schedule you out past 6-8 weeks or make you wait an additional hour. Then tell you the DR is gone for the day and reschedule you anyways. Do not recommend.

Cameron Woodworth The most DISRESPECTFUL people sitting behind the desk here. They don’t want to do their job and over talk you. They have no clue what’s going on and try to make the patients do their jobs. They are lazy and rude. I’m filing a complaint with the board of health, this entire office needs an overhaul. I was speaking and she literally muted me and ignored me then came back talking about something completely different.

Michele Carlson Worst experience ever. They sent my bills to a non existing mailing address then when it was returned sent my bill to collections. Now telling me I have to contact a post office to fix my incorrect address that I do not know what it is still. Also the customer service rep hung up on me when I was asking to speak to a manager. Horrible service. Telling me I am under collections until the VA pays the claim then they can clear my account and remove from collections. REALLY???? They used incorrect information and I am the one that is at fault. Maybe I should sue!!!! Could not post until I placed a star for them what a scam. BEWARE VETERANS they do not like us!!!!!

Ankit Gupta Organized Loot: Why these ER doctors are not part of largest insurance company CIGNA. After paying ER bill, now they are sending ER physician bill which is unethical as all the Dr are out of network?

Kourtnei Dalton I cannot recommend this childrens hospital enough! Every single time weve needed their services, from simple emergency room visits to full surgeries and inpatient stays, the care and attention they provide have been exceptional. The staff is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate and kind, making the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible for both the children and their families. Trusting your childs health and well-being with this hospital is truly a blessing, and I am grateful for the outstanding service they consistently deliver.

Phyrom Huy Who really wants to go to this hospital? sally smith seems to want to destroy all families that go there. Its in the name.

Todd Freund I recently was diagnosed with pneumonia. This care facility did not give me the correct medication and I ended up in the Hospital. If that is not bad enough! they then sent me to collection without attempting to call me after mailing my bills to the wrong address!! I paid the collection company but was confused as to why my insurance company paid over 27000. in hospital bill but did not pay Pinellas Primary Care? I called the office and spoke to Michelle the office manager. She did not want to hear anything that I had to say and was very rude. I spend over 80000. per year for myself and all of my employees health insurance and she talked to me like I am some kind of dead beat. I just cant understand why people like that can keep there jobs or even stay in business. Todd

Tracey Fischell Dr Bhasvar was very professional, competent and caring and the only reason I initially stayed with this medical practice. Otherwise I have nothing positive to say. I was assigned to a new Dr who refused to refill my daily meds without seeing me first... but they had no timely appointments available, and didnt care I would run out of medicine. However whenever I go there the waiting room is empty and the staff dont seem busy!! The staff member I spoke with regarding my medicine refills was totally incompetent, argumentative, rude, unprofessional and repeatedly hung up on me. I had to go to a Walk-in Clinic to get a temporary medicine refill, and change medical practices. This is the most uncaring and unprofessional medical practice I have ever been to. STAY AWAY!!!!

Tommie T THIS USE TO BE ONE OF MY FAV HOSPIATLS TO COME IF I NEEDED URGENT CARE..BUT NOW THIS IS MORE OF A RUSHED SERVICE...DR DONT CARE ONLY SEEMED TO BE MONEY HUNGRY AND WORRIED ABOUT INSURANCE INSTEAD OF WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO ER..LACK OF EMPATHY AND MISDIAGNOS AT THIS HOSPITAL AS A WHOLE! I ENDED UP GOING TO MORTAN PLANT WHICH IS THE BEST THING I COULDVE DID!

Robert Bradley It’s easy to understand why Bayside Emergency Physicians has a low rating of 1.5 stars. I had a straightforward emergency room visit at St. Anthony’s in September 2023. However, 16 months later, I discovered that Bayside failed to submit my insurance claim to Blue Cross Blue Shield on time. After months of trying to resolve the issue through phone calls, I learned that Blue Cross denied the claim because Baysides third-party billing professionals in the Philippines filed it too late. I only learned about the denied claim when it negatively impacted my credit report. Unfortunately, I have been unable to repair my credit, and the billing account supervisor at Bayside has not followed up as promised. During my fourth call today, the Bayside Emergency Physicians billing department informed me they would request payment from Blue Cross for this bill. Their lack of follow-up and interest in my situation has harmed me, but it has also affected their company, which will not get paid due to their poor business practices.

Doug Jones Last July I visited the SAH ER due to a tendon injury, got an x-ray saw a physicians assistant for less than 10 minutes. All they did to help was get me a sling and tell me to ice it. I paid my $1500 ER months ago and to my surprise I just received another $1350 from these crooks. nope. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Greedy health care providers and insurance companies are killing people in the country.
