Begum Tohmina MD - Lake City (FL)

4 /5 Dianna James: Not much to say about her regarding my needs. I mean of bad comments, except for holding your insulin refill unless you go see her. My boyfriend did see her and he’s diabetic and the price of the medication was almost & 300.00 and so he called her to see if the was any other insulin that was cheaper that he can afford and she told him that u must come back in to see me first. That’s ridiculous it’s like see me or nothing.

1 /5 Kellie Coyte: My new primary doctor. Second visit. She changed my medicine without knowledge. Fired me as a patient for being upset. Now wont give me a referral to an orthopedic so I can deal with my disabilities. I do NOT recommend her. She does NOT listen nor care about her patients. She just does whatever she wants.

5 /5 Fahmida Sheuly: I have been consulting with Dr. Begum ever since she has become an MD. She is extremely bright and does thorough review of my history and all related factors before giving any medical recommendations. She is very direct (Id rather have my doctor be direct than not) but also compassionate. She has experience practicing in two different countries and different states. She is very cultured and knows how to relate to patients from various cultural and religious backgrounds. Shes multi-lingual and can fluently practice medicine in both English and Bengali, which makes her a great doctor for me. She also focuses lifestyle changes before rushing into recommending medication. I highly recommend Dr. Begum and her partner Mr. Huda who helps manage the clinic.

1 /5 Kristina Lima: The time you go to see the doctor youve been waiting like an hour and the next hour in the waiting room, they dont call you on the same time. Done with this doctor, Im not going to this doctors appointment, this is crazy, she charged me 90 dollars for what I dont know, Im changing to a new doctor, and Im not going to this one.

1 /5 James Riley: I saw Dr. Begum 5 times over a 2 month period, each time waiting over 45 minutes. She spoke too fast, was rude to her staff and disrespectful of my requests as an informed patient. I was in pain because of severe stenosis in my cervical spine and felt there were treatments we were missing while I waited to see a neurosurgeon (they sometimes schedule 6 to 8 weeks out). When I confronted her she became defensive and asked me to leave her office and not come back. This put me in a terrible position because my insurance coverage demands constant input from the PCP. She even refused a simple signature that would have enabled me to start PT. Doctors who are not willing to discuss treatment with their patients and cannot learn from their experiences are really scary. She should not be in the medical profession!
