Best 9 MD and Hospital near Kissimmee, FL (Part 4)

J Pinto Took a year to schedule this appointment and wasnt able to get the provider I wanted. Dr. Pareek was condescending, and none of the medical team took my medical history or looked at the records I brought. Dr. Pareek seems knowledgeable, and I did learn new things in the visit, however, he reminds me of everything wrong with the healthcare system: not up to date, dismissive/gaslighting, and no regard for the patients history (which goes beyond "ranges of normalcy"; ex: just because my BP is within normal range does NOT mean that its normal for ME). As someone that has worked in healthcare simply to understand how it works, find someone that wants to get to know your body and allows you to make informed decisions; beware those that assume and tell you what to do without much information provided and then belittle you for taking charge of your OWN health. For more positives: The rest of the staff was friendly. Facilities are clean and organized. The Advent app and website is great.

Isabella Skye Been trying to make an appointment for almost two weeks now. Disclosed a sensitive document to them and now they just have access to it without me being in their care. I’m really upset about this as I signed off for them to tell me my next steps in treatment. Receptionist said they don’t make appointments unless you disclose the information. Told me the hematologist had to call me about the whole thing. Just to make an appointment. They have called me three times and everytime you answer or call back it redirects you to a call center. Then it’s a disaster trying to get in contact with where you were originally working with the receptionist at whatever location it was. Move on and find somewhere else to go, it’s a mess trying to get in here. They have no idea what they are doing. Super unprofessional, and I’m really mad that they just have my document now to share with the world after doing nothing to help me.

Freedom 1 Worst staff.

Chuck OPTUM KISSIMMEE THE STAFF AND DR. VEGA AND THE OTHE PHYSICIANS THAT WE SEE OCCASIONALLY When necessary are all wonderful. Dr. Vega is our PCP and he is so knowledgeable about all my health issues and my wifes also. He is very up on best medications he has controlled my wifes blood pressure with adjustment if medication that has worked when nothing else did. Both my wife and I enjoy the family atmosphere that is displayed by all the staff that we deal with. Thank you for everything Dr. Vega and your team.

Nancy I have been a Patient here for over 12 years. Dr. Link is a beautiful soul and has a heart of gold. Dr. Gittings is a GODSEND. She has been my physician since her start here and I have the complete understanding that of my medical needs and takes her time with the patient. I have seen them go through numerous name changes but that does not affect ( in my opinion) the care that I receive from Dr. Gittings. She is very thorough and her expertise is phenomenal. This is the first time in my life that I feel completely understood by a doctor. I never have problems with referrals, Lab orders and in urgent situations- I get a call back quickly. The Case Management team is superb. The girls upfront are engaging and inviting. My only concern is confidentiality. It is important to ensure confidentiality at all times even in the lobby area. I am really big on this and have experienced breaks in confidentiality; which I reported right away. Sometimes when you have to give your name, DOB, phone number and medical concern...it is spoken in front of those waiting in the lobby. THAT to me is a big NO NO in any office. I just love this place. I thank Dr. Michael Link for all he does, Dr. Vega and Dr. Gittings. Wonderful Professionals.

Matthew Borg Waiting for an appointment, sat down in a chair with ants. Listening to staff treat other vets with attitudes. The nurse gave directions to stay, then when the patient didnt understand, she sat down and talked about how people dont listen. Staff were on their phones and eating at the desk, which probably adds to the ants. Ive seen bad va clinics but this was disgraceful. Why have doors for employees safety if they are not used?

A Pritchett I was worried about being assigned here after seeing the reviews... but I have not had a problem yet. They have always answered when I call, staff has been nice and professional, get appts pretty quick along with referrals. Have been to quite a few clinics and this one has been more helpful than other ones.

Abigail Anderson Was in severe pain and literally falling over when trying to walk and no care from staff. The wait, even with my obviously horrible symptoms didn’t matter to them. They continued to make me wait in agony for another hour in the waiting room. Subpar treatment, even from the doctors,and no concern for patients.

MigCol The ER is not crowded tonight, (tuesday) very quiet place

Lucy García Today I had an appointment for an injection in my knee. I explained my case to the doctors assistant, and she was so rude. She told me there was no point in giving me another dose since it hadnt worked before, that my insurance was bad and low. She asked me if I had money to pay for the gel treatment; otherwise, she would arrange for me to be operated on by another doctor. I was left in shock... I couldnt believe what she was saying. On top of that, she acted as the translator for the doctor (who must have told her that he left), and I was left with nothing... Its a shame that I just now see the reviews for the medical center, otherwise, I wouldnt have gone....It’s a shame that one person can make a doctor and a company, whose only goal is to help so many people.

Celeste Montalvo Receptionists are rude and unprofessional. Doctor is only concerned with insurance payments and not concerned with patient care. My grandmother has been seeing him for years and receiving facet joint injections with absolutely no relief and if anything it got worse. She’s still in alot of pain, he’s not even a certified anesthesiologist and doesn’t provide pain relief or care about his patients. His bedside manners are like a wet mop, needs to go back to medical school. This place needs to be shut down, luckily my grandmother has found a good doctor thanks to my mother Evelyn Naranjo and now she’s getting the pain relief that she needs.

Timothy Shaffer I initially went to the Dr. On July 19th I told him I was self pay. I had a referral from another Dr. He said he had to do an initial visit first and I had to Pay $375 in cash no credit card. That was very suspicious. He seen me for literally 5 minutes and then rescheduled for a blocker shot. I went to get the shot and had to pay $750 in CASH! So I did because of the pain I am in. The shot last for about 10 days. He did schedule a follow up. When I went for the follow up that is usually free the tried to Charge me $175 CASH again. I walked out. This is crazy. Any Dr that ask for CASH is pretty crazy in this day and age. The staff was rude as well. Please steer clear of here if I had to pay cash no telling what is going on! I am very disappointed! Now I have to find another Dr. to get my Sciatica under control!

Brandon C. Theres a sign in the office that says a new patient appointment is 1 hr MINIMUM, meaning you’ll be sitting in the back room for 1 hour before you even get to see the doctor. I waited over 1 hr, and then saw the doctor for no more than 3 minutes. He was extremely rude to me; he snapped at me and interrupted me when I was trying to explain my symptoms and bloodwork. He literally had his back to me the entire time before I was rushed out of there. It was a demoralizing experience. I turned down a second appointment.

Cyndi Warren Dr Lodhi is a good doctor in that he knows how to treat RA, but he has the worst bedside manner of any doctor Ive ever been to. For example, he went out of the country from November to December and left no one to refill medicine. I had to go without my meds for a month because of this.

Susan B Why is it so difficult to speak to a person on the phone. I went in person to discuss a script that was sent to my pharmacy which was never received. I am now into week three of not being able to get this office to understand they just have to resend a script. You have to leave a message with clinical staff which is never returned. You call and the receptionist will kindly tell you that she is sending a message to the clinical staff. What a surprise, no one calls me or responds. The management at this office is very poor. I will find another digestive care office to go to. Ms. Colon, and Dr. Gomez were helpful and attentive, however, there is something wrong with the office staff and their organization. Fix it folks, people are complaining.

Alice Wagner I have been a patient for over five years. I called for an appointment and left a message. Called again the next day. Calls for appointments were never returned. Finally I went into the office today deciding that was the only way to get an appointment and was told it would be two months even though I was having stomach pains. Made an appointment for the next day with a different practice. Sad that this office is so dysfunctional as AdventHealth has always been my first choice.
