Best 15 MD and Hospital near Stuart, FL (Part 4)

Brynn McAllister 10/27 around 9:30 I was all checked in at the walk in clinic bc I was having a high temp the day before and a bad mucus cough. I’m a teacher and we have had a lot of kids go home with high fevers and cough and none was positive for the flu. I wanted to make sure it was nothing serious or coming from my chest/lungs and if so earlier the better. I was tested for Covid, RSV and the Flu and was told it would take about an hour or so for the results to come in and I would receive a call in about an hour or so. I never take those words seriously and granite they were busy even though I was out by 11. Around 2:30 my fever spiked out of nowhere and I still haven’t heard anything so I gave a quick call around 3 ish and was told verbatim “If we don’t call that means we don’t have results so that’s why you didn’t receive a call but let me check”. The test was still being processed! Finally around 4:30 I checked the MyChart and the results were posted which I tested positive for one of the three tests. Today 10/28 around 11:30 I receive a call, the voicemail had stated my results came in and to check the MyChart and see the drs recommendation. It concerns me bc I was the only young adult in there and the rest were elderly adults. And the nurse was very judgmental when it came to two questions she had to ask which I understand. But she was asking questions that were going into too much detail which from experience with drs and ER visits and urgent cares, that was never the case. The dr was great and the wait wasn’t too bad. If I could recommend a good urgent care, it’s Jupiter Medical in Stuart! who were unfortunately closed on Sunday

Kathy Petrorio Very good experience. Front desk staffed with 3 people so no waiting when you walk in. Waiting room chairs very spaced out so don’t have to sit too close to anyone. After checking in, had to wait almost an hour, but that was manageable. Went into exam room. Saw the first nurse who does the vitals and gets info on why we were there, etc. After she left, X-ray tech came in a few minutes later and too my husband for an X-ray. Doctor came not a minute after they took husband to xray. X-ray took less than 5 minutes. Doc came back in as soon as husband was back from X-ray. She was great. Energetic and positive and thorough and knowledgeable. Spent an appropriate amount of time with him, wrote up prescriptions and we were on our way. Excellent experience.

Austin Skumanich I have a lot of bad experiences with businesses all the time, and I try to let them go. So for me to be a bad review, its gotta be terrible. And Cleveland Clinic is terrible from the ground up. I think its hilarious too that each department as its own Google business listing to obfuscate these terrible reviews. Long story short, Ive left bad reviews for Cleveland Clinic in the past for a wide variety of issues, but more recently it has been over billing. As in being told by their employees that they take my insurance, or not disclosing fees, or their billing departments garbage customer service. I really cant say enough terrible things about Cleveland Clinic. Its always something with this organization, and it doesnt matter where you go. Terrible attitudes from employees, disrespectful employees, long waits for no reason, lack of urgency. And its not just me, its my grandfather AND my grandmother could write essays about the awful treatment (medical) they received, constant mistakes and errors and delays associated with that, and generally horrible and arrogant behavior from the staff. The list goes on and on and on.The experience is across the board which leads me to believe they hold seminars about how to make their patients miserable. So, do yourself a favor; go LITERALLY anywhere else but these people. I will probably post this same post on every single business listing from Cleveland Clinic in this town. These people should be ashamed, but they are all heartless.

Michael Wilson Had blood drawn on Monday morning. Liver function results available 2 hour later. This is typical time frame for all previous visits. The Lipid panel and other test are still not available. Called the number on this website and it rang for an hour. I drove to the lab and showed the receptionist my phone which had been ringing without an answer for 1 hour 3 minutes. She replied they don’t answer external calls. Then I was told the other tests are sent out now and it takes about 4 days for results. Written on Thursday late afternoon. I also asked for my type and they could not tell me. I have signed permission for a transfusion on 5 or more occasions if necessary to save my life. Makes me wonder.

Joe Mack Id love to give 5 stars but i cant i dont even want to give them one. Ive been coming here for at least 10 years and i think its time to make a change. Ive been waiting a month to get a consult for imaging and an MRI on a shoulder injury. I call multiple times a week and no one can ever seem to get the consult request pushed up to the practitioner. Ive been patient with everyone Ive talked to and Ive requested the manager a couple of times and i havent got a response from them either. Please Do Better.

Angelle Ray Now i see why the low reviews. Called twice. First, i was told itll be a moment. 35 minutes 20 seconds on hold. Called 2nd time and i said i needed to make an appointment change so that they knew it was a quick help. Was told that it would be a second. 54 minutes and 50 seconds later, they closed and no longer answered my call. "Wonderful" service! Dont know whats up with this office but so far its been the worst VA clinic ive dealt with.

Jason Gallette I’ve been going to Riverview Mental Health in Stuart, FL for years, and I can’t recommend them enough! The office has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is always friendly and supportive, making every visit a positive experience. I have always felt welcomed and comfortable. Dr. Alston Calderon is exceptional—he listens, understands, and never makes you feel rushed. His patience and expertise have helped me through so much. If you’re looking for the best mental health care in Stuart, FL, Dr. Calderon and Riverview are the way to go!

Nancy I have been seeing Alston cauldron for five years for medication management. He is a professional that truly cares. He has worked with my depression anxiety and sleep issues has made himself available to work around my crazy schedule and has done over the phone appointments. I highly recommend him he is very kind and caring professional. He has given me insight of myself and has made my life manageable, long-term.

Robert Soligny There should be a negative stars option. My wife is in this place currently and its cruel and unusual punishment. I dropped off her clothes two days ago and shes still in a hospital gown. They are refusing to give her the birth control that keeps her from having a endomitroisi event. AKA terrible pain...she also has kronic pancreatitis and needs her Creon. Nope..Ive called there many times and always get transferred to a phone that just rings and rings...if you love the person that needs help,you just cant send them here. Its terrifying having her there.

Shana L I recently had the most positive experience at Coral Shores, and I cannot recommend it enough. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and understanding, setting the tone for my entire stay. Elizabeth, the receptionist, went above and beyond to ensure that I felt welcomed and comfortable right from the start. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to assist with any questions or concerns made a world of difference during what could have been a stressful time. The intake process was handled with exceptional care by Petra, who was incredibly kind and empathetic. She took the time to listen to my concerns, making me feel heard and valued, which truly helped ease my anxiety. Dr. Theo’s expertise and thoughtful approach provided me with the guidance and tools I needed to make meaningful progress. Leann was always available to offer support, whether through one-on-one interactions or during group sessions. Overall, my experience at Coral Shores was truly transformative. I left feeling more hopeful, supported, and equipped to continue my journey to wellness. If you or a loved one is seeking a place where the staff genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, I wholeheartedly recommend Coral Shores. *I have changed my name on Google for privacy reasons*

Mayra Acevedo Got to the appointment 1hour n 1/2 early because I had an appointment for radiation near by n no patience their except us. But guess what, they still didnt take of him until his appointment time. Mind you they said arrive 1/2 an hour early. What would you have done. Go back home 45 minutes away. Go to appointment. Get mad at them. Or just stay clam n wait. Well we waited n said nothing. (Rough life) ps got seen at 1:04 pm

Scarlett Steele Came in yesterday with a sore throat that felt like there was a massive lump when I tried to swallow, all I wanted to get done was a strep test and make sure my tonsils were hunky-dory. Couldnt get it done at a walk-in clinic because of my insurance, so I called Martin Health scheduling (they are lovely folks), and they couldnt get me in with my primary care, so I got set up with an appointment to see Roxanne Stuart. Again, all I really wanted was to get a strep test and make sure my tonsils were okay, I wasnt making a big deal of it, I didnt think I was in dire straights, I wasnt exaggerated or panicked or anything else that I would feel would annoy a health practitioner. The nurse that was being trained during my appointment was very nice, as well as the front-of-desk staff. However, Roxanne Stuart was very rude/unkind. She acted like I was an annoyance from the second she stepped into the room, making sure to let me know multiple times that "I didnt need to come". Maybe she had a bad day before I came in, but honestly it was a bummer to be treated like I was an obnoxious inconvenience for having the audacity to come in to the doctors when Im sick.

CJ Poveromo Delivered our first born here and all the staff and mid wives were amazing, our nurse Tori was an angel and delivered our baby before her shift ended and was such a kind soul, really went over the top to help us it felt like! Thank you everyone truly who works there! The after birth check ups are also a god send filled with joyous people like Chloe that love doing their jobs and spreading kindness!

Stan Bernstein Update: This was my experience at Health Park 2 FYI When seeing a doctor for a regular office visit at Tradition Hospital Health Park 2 beware of extra charges. If you see a doctor/specialist for a regular annual checkup they will charge you and your insurance for the room and other items not normally charged by other offices outside of this facility. They did send out a letter stating the billing is changing but did not include and estimate but instead stated that the doctors offices would now be considered an outpatient facility. I went for my annual urology checkup and was charged $468.00! For the past 15 years before I moved to Port St. Lucie once a year I always paid my co-pay which was anywhere from $50-$35 for urinalysis and a quick bladder scan. My wife and I have had procedures done at the surgery center at this hospital and we were very pleased with everyone there and the doctors.they are truly very dedicated and caring. I mean no harm to this organization but I had to let you know what I experienced. I have since then cancelled All my appointments with the urologist and my wife’s gynecologist appointments and have selected other doctors close by who do not charge for the room, etc. Update: they finally sent me an estimate after the fact. Would you believe that Ive tried unsuccessfully to get an estimate for my upcoming Doctor Office visit through My Chart?!!! Now I have to drive over and talk to someone in person. I’ve had nothing but issues with this company.

Brian Eichenlaub Dr Robert Barry & staff don’t seem to care about their patients. Contacted office 4 days ago. Was told Dr or staff would call me back. They didn’t, so I called back earlier this afternoon. Was told again someone would call back by end of day. At 4:55 I called back since I didn’t hear from anyone. They wouldn’t connect me to the right person and was told that they were gone for the weekend. Zero urgency for my needs. Very unprofessional. I’d recommend someone outside of the Martin Health Group.

TIMOTHY HALEY I only gave one star because I didnt have option to give them less. I tried to establish a primary care physician with them last year. First appointment for check up I made middle of last year they cancelled. Rescheduled for fall, they cancelled. Rescheduled for this year, they were going to cancel but I had them move me to earlier date so Dr. would be available. They cancelled that four days before appointment. They had me scheduled for a lung CT last year that did not get done, I requested to have done this year and they advised too late and I would have to make another appointment to have a new lung CT order. Requiring an appointment for new CT order when there was CT order previously that was not completed is the ultimate in money grubbing.

MELANIE THURSTON I was at the ER and was told to follow up with Dr. Bower when I went to see him his nurse and himself were very kind and explained everything so I was able to understand. I ended up needing surgery pretty quickly and Dr. Bower was actually getting ready for vacation the next week so he actually scheduled my surgery on a day he doesnt usually do surgery, just so I could be taken care of. I think he is a fantastic Dr. also so is his nurse Rose. They both are very attentive and nice and explain everything in details. So I really appreciate them very much and would recommend them to my family and friends.

Loretta Snyder I will be changing urologist. I went twice thinking maybe the first time that they were having a bad day. So I gave them a 2nd chance. Dr. Bower and his assistant were very abrupt. Did a procedure and didn’t give me instructions. No time for questions. No bedside manor and I felt like a number and not like I was a person. When I told the dr. I couldn’t get the RX filled from the last time because he needed to fill out paper work he blamed CVS and said to go to the pharmacy down stairs and they told me the same thing that he needs to fill in a form before they can fill it for the insurance to cover it. After the Dr left I asked Assistant a question and she blew me off and repeated how I should go to checkout. I was feeling uncomfortable after the procedure and looked up information to find out that I should not take ibuprofen which the dr. gave me no instructions, no sheet to read about side effects after the procedure, etc.

Jay. Less than one star! And they know it and still dont care, This location is ripe for closing Cleveland Clinic. I wouldnt take my lawyers pet snake there, let alone an actual person. Im an established patient. Everything is up to date in my chart, I always complete pre- registration. I walked in ten minutes late. There was one patient who passed out in the waiting room. Otherwise, no one else was there. I gave the receptionist my name, who said because I was late, I needed to use express care down the hall, no problem ten minutes shouldnt make or break anyone. However, when I got to express care, they were already at lunch from 1130 to 1 pm, which is what the person explained to me who answered the door. Pathetic....

Lisa Montefusco Everyone was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. Christina and Michelle were very efficient and professional.

Brooklyn Sheptak Completely unprofessional. I went to Mary Peters to obtain my medical paperwork for a green card. First she ordered my blood work and kept forgetting to check immunizations so I had to keep going back. This was frustrating because it caused the process to take much longer then it should have. Next she gave me a different clients passport and immunizations, personal information, I asked if she wanted it return back to her and she said "no just email it to me". She put this other womens information on my medical paperwork for the government documents. I realized it and told her. She wouldnt give me a new envelope or properly re-do the paperwork. The envelope had been opened by her to change the paperwork. She refused re package it properly so and its supposed to be a sealed envelope. I had an appointment with USCIS and they told me the hold up in my case was the medical paperwork and the USCIS worker said "the paperwork looks really bad" and she told me I would have to resubmit. Do not use Mary Peters, she doesnt care about her clients only getting paid, youll end up having to re-pay for the medical paperwork.

Tina Roney This is NOT a Drs office! I have high BP..the receptionist took my pressure with a “cheap type” cuff.You don’t need a stethoscope. She measures your heart rate, O2% on a finger monitor. You are connected to the ? DR on a monitor screen. She will NOT let you talk. She doesn’t want to hear your concerns. She put my BP Rxs on the highest dosage. I had a table full of stuff. She informed me she had a double Doctorate in FP & Physc.& she was going to change my Ambien & Xanax to Klonopin & Trazadone after I ran out. DID NOT HAPPEN...I went into the office after I was told there was a “room full”! NOPE...NO ONE BUT ME. After almost 3 hours of sitting there the receptionist told me to leave..she does not know one Rx from the other...and told me my other Dr could write it!?! She never tried to get my test results, never calls u back...just find a real Dr. with a real assistant & save yourself the stress! Wish there was a no star!

Daniel My grandfather had cancer and was under vita’s care. They labeled him imminent for around the clock care and then failed to show up when he needed them the most. DO NOT USE VITAS FOR YOUR LOVED ONES!!!! Go with hospice they are more reliable. I hope no one else experiences the pain and suffering me and my grandfather suffered due to vita’s negligence.

Richard VITAS is a clown show. The nurses that came were very caring. The chaplain was wonderful. The doctor who came once was very caring. The nurse practitioner was very caring. The nurse aide who came to give my husband bed baths was very caring. The problem was that so much was promised and basically nothing was delivered. VITAS looks great on paper. The nursing visits were supposed to be twice a week on certain days that had been arranged between the nurse and me. It was supposed to be the same nurse each visit and the on same days each week. As it turned out, the nursing visits were sporadic and random. We often went ten days without seeing a nurse, and they simply sent whatever nurse happened to be in our area at the time. When my husband was imminent, they said there would be 24 hour nursing care. That didn’t happen. They couldn’t staff it. Instead they said they would send a nurse every 4 hours. That didn’t happen. They couldn’t staff it. Then they said they would send a hospice trained nurse aide for 12 hour shifts around the clock. They were a no-show. My husband was just hours from passing, and a clown of a doctor offered him antibiotics. The VA insisted that we needed to use this agency because they were the best. The VA must have some kind of deal going on with VITAS. Perhaps a contract? My advice to the VA is to drop VITAS as quickly as possible. Do not use this hospice agency if you want your loved one to receive the care they deserve.

Stephen Rossi I had stepped on a catfish barb and it lodged in my foot. The local walk in clinics were closed so I went to the emergency room for treatment. I walked into the empty waiting room and explained my issue and that I did not have insurance. After 15 mins of information gatheringand waiting 40 mins, I was off to the examining room. The Dr. came in and easily removed the barb and left the room never to be seen again. I got my tetnus shot and a Rx for antibiotic. 2 weeks later I get a hospital bill for $2,150.00 and a separate bill for the doctor for an additional $2000.00 There is no reason why a simple procedure should ever cost so much. The hospital should not hide their costs from patients. $4,150.00 is the result of a sham!
