2 /5 Ashlee Bowles: My mother first came here three years ago via referral from her PCP after having a sudden minor heart issue, and while there was a little miscommunication at first with scheduling and referral information, things got straightened out quickly. The nurses and staff onsite were nice and helpful, but the doctor himself made things unbearable.
The doctor flat out told my mother during her first visit that she would be dead before she turned 60 with me sitting right there (she was 58 at the time). He was very discourteous to her and completely disregarded me as her caretaker. He ended up sending her to Citrus Memorial Hospital to have some tests done, and when the results came back he scheduled her for a follow-up appointment. Upon arriving, he said he couldnt help her and wouldnt explain specifically what the results said, be it good or bad.
Needless to say her PCP was very disappointed to hear this feedback and thankfully my mother hasnt had any other trouble with her heart, and shes doing just fine now with no issues.
