Kady Blend I have gone to them for the better half of two years with my cats. The staff are so extremely lovely and a pleasure to work with. They are so affordable and has really helped my family be able to afford getting our cats fixed and their shots done. Dr. Tracy is really really lovely and you can tell she loves what she does.

Kim Weaver Suwannee Paws normally deals mainly with cats but they do see dogs also. Ive been taking both of my doggos there for the last couple of years and just a few times they have been I have already saved over $1,000 on what it would cost me to go to the vet that they were seeing. My little one has hereditary mange and weve worked hard to get rid of it this past year and Suwannee Paws has really come to the rescue with a treatment plan that we really think is going to be beneficial. She will continue to have to be treated for this at different times throughout her life but if this treatment works will know what to do each and every time. The ladies all spent time and effort trying to make sure that my baby was okay and that she was going to continue getting better. I cant ask for any more than that! These women are wonderful! And theyre just as nice and sweet and funny has any human could possibly be! Thank you Suwannee Paws for loving my babies

Brody Herring My family started here about a year ago. Getting an appointment, call them , talk to someone , they can’t give you an appointment for the next day and tell you to call at 8 in the morning. At 8 in the morning you wait for 20 mins on the phone and tell you to bone in 7 days later. Mind you this is our primary and we have insurance. We have had this problem 6 times now. Once they prescribed me the wrong medication and I was seriously sick a missed 5 days of work, I call everyday for an appointment, left voicemails and even talked to the head nurse. No call back no response Don’t go here, for anything.

Chance Beretta Avoid this place at all costs, these people have the compassion of a warthog. I have a terminal illness and for some reason my primary is here by default, because no one else around takes medicade. Dont ever try to get them to treat you for anything though, they are basically a referral servivce for real doctors. I do not think there is one M.D. at Palms. God forbid you need a pain pill for you terminal illness because although doctors started the opioid epidemic, it wouldnt matter if you had your leg amputated, they wont give you anything for pain, but they might refer you to someone who immediately thinks youre a junkie or a criminal, even though you have medical records to prove otherwise. They should quit calling this healthcare, because after all of the stress and anxiety you deal with from your medical issues just gets multiplied by 10, when you have to deal with the rude staff here. Seriously, my blood pressure hasnt gone down since my last phone call with one of their lovely nurses. Id rather have 10 Colonoscopies then have to speak with one of their "healthcare professionals" again. They always seem to be the victim in any scenario, when you are the one going through the pain and suffering. God help us all.

Elizabeth McKinney The doctors and nurses are great, if you can get in to see them. Whats the point in having a doctor if they cant ever see you when youre sick? If I have to go to the emergency room for everything, then theres no point in having you around is there? I cant even get my prescriptions renewed on time. Ive been a week without meds. Its like theyre only around to collect insurance money for occasional "checkups" every few months. Time to find a new doctor.

Simmons Sylena (Sylena76) From making my appointment to seeing my doctor was a breeze. Almost no wait time in the lobby. Staff was very professional, courteous, and friendly. My doctor listened and addressed everything and made sure my prescriptions were sent to the pharmacy promptly.

Sandra Ezell Gregoris On Sunday July 21, 2024 my mother passed away due, in large part, to the lack of care of Callie Smith of this office. Though my mother tried to tell her over and over about her back and stomach issues. I, since i used to work with her, even emailed her with info i knew that would maybe be something mom forgot but she ignored me, too. Note, i never once asked for info about my mom. HIPAA, I am very familiar with. But mom said she rushed her in and out and once only came into the waiting room to give her lab results, then sent her on her way. Same pain, same issues. I was very happy when Callie came back to town. I thought she would be perfect for my mom because she was so close to her own mom. Well, i guess the extra education deleted the human factor. My life has been changed forever and it was entirely preventable had Callie listened to my mom and myself and found the problem. This is not the Callie i knew, i just wish id known sooner and gotten another provider.

Davis AM (Outlaw-angel) I am beyond dismayed with my most recent visit - an annual preventative health screening. 3 minutes with the ARNP who looked at my lab work and said, "Everything looks great but you knew that." Previous 12 months entailed visits to multiple specialists yet none of those findings were reviewed or next steps addressed. The topping on this misfit of an experience: misbilled for the visit. I had to look up the medical term associated with the code as Ive never heard of it nor been diagnosed with it. Had any topics been reviewed from the medical journey I am on, I would happily pay the cost associated beyond an annual health review but that was not even an interest of this office. Severely disappointed.

Linda W This is the second HCA facility that I have gone to and a double patients up in the ER rooms. This would not bother me if you had 2 Non-respiratory infected patients. I have horrible back pain, to go in the ER and pick up some kind of respiratory infection, flu or Covid, the coughing would just add to my back pain. I would say youre safest just to grab a mask because these people that come in coughing and hacking are not courteous enough to put a mask on themselves. this was from personal experience, in fact, the patient went for x-ray and they gave him a mask, as soon as they got back into the room, they took it off. since they have slacked off the Covid epidemic, places have become less sterile once again.

Audrey Keeler The entire staff was attentive, knowledgeable,understanding and compassionate. The care I received was the very best. The staff was very professional and included Christine,my nurse, Dr Fuller, Jamie, Clayton and Angie, My CT Tech was wonderful. Brian made me feel comfortable and kept me informed of all that was going on!

Em I went in for an infected cut and a rash that was actively red and irritated, oozing pus and the cut was open for more than a week and wasn’t getting better at all. I expressed my worries and the nurse just seemed to brush it off and claimed it was “healing” even though it obviously wasn’t or I would not have come in. She prescribed me with antibiotics and gave me ointment. I’ve been using them every day like I was told, I’ve kept the area clean and put the ointment on as directed but the rash only seems to keep spreading and itches even more. I did not feel as if she took me seriously and was just telling me whatever it took to get me out of there faster. Don’t bother coming here it is a waste of time and money.

Lu Wilson The handicapped parking spots are too far away from the building. I had a set appointment (& it had been confirmed prior to my going there) but the receptionist still seemed to struggle unnecessarily to get me checked in whereby I had to stand at the desk somewhat longer than was comfortable for me. After that, the diagnostic imaging process itself that I was there for went fine. I was there for 1 hour total.
3 /5
Liam Wrenn Unfortunately Ive had to come here twice in the last three months since I loved here from Fort Lauderdale and I have to say that the staff here has been the most compassionate and kind staff Ive experienced in a hospital in my entire life. Down south youll be treated more like an inconvenience than a patient. HCA is absolutely wonderful. I hope I dont have to come back here in the future, but if I do, I know Ill be treated exceptionally.

Allison Dangerfield Dr.A--Absolutely the worst Dr. I have been to in my life! He does not listen to any concerns nor cares. Its so convenient that hes always away on vacation instead of taking care of his patients. Hes more concerned about making money than caring at all. Will be spreading the word to not go here! Its a waste of time and money because he would rather refer you to another doctor than provide for you.

Sean Cassaday This doctor has been nothing but a pain for the entire time Ive gone there. I have Autism and ADHD and take Adderall to focus and perform everyday tasks. They have consistently been late in sending my medications (sometimes upwards of a week) and they get mad at me when I send a complaint. This latest and last time they even only sent in 1 months instead of my usual 3 months and referred me to another doctor. Im paying a lot of money to do this one thing and you get mad and ditch me when I complain

Paul Cooper I have been going there for 2 years, I have never seen or met Dr. Naqi. Ascension billing department is terrible there bills are wrong and will send you bills 18 months after the office visit! Missy and the NPs you see are good, but the front window people and the phone answering are less than than stellar. It is terrible and the front desk is the worst experience I have ever had.

I have also seen April a few times and am impressed with her bedside manner and competency as well.

She told my mother to “only speak when spoken to. I ask the questions and you answer!!” I am warning anyone that wants to have their symptoms / issues resolved, Dr Thanawala is not the Dr to see. Be warned!! I will be reporting her to the medical board as well.

Susan Thomas When I was recovering from anesthesia after a colonoscopy, Dr. Thanawala told me that she found a large tumor in my colon and would go over my biopsy results in 40 days. I called the office several times telling them that this was unacceptable. A week after they had the biopsy results in hand an office person called me and told me I should come in for a consult. This was only after I had canceled the consult that was scheduled 40 days after they had received the biopsy results! When I tried to explain why I canceled, the office person said that she didn’t want to hear why I was upset, and hung up!

SteveFlorida1 The staff was nice but, the facilities are not sanitary. I was in a waiting room and went to turn the water on and it wouldnt even work. Medical staff are required to clean their hands before putting their hands on patients and the NP that treated me had just left a flu patient in the next room over. She did not wash her hands in my presence. Needless to say, I brought sickness home to my whole family. I wont be going back and finding another facility.

Jaimie Melka WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! OBSCENE WAIT TIMES! When calling the office for the first time, a lady answered the phone and said she would call me back in a few minutes but never returned my call. The second time, Dr. Rana answered the phone and asked me to come in the next day. I showed up early for my appointment, and should have taken the hint when another patient said they waited almost TWO HOURS TO BE SEEN. I asked the staff if the doctor typically ran behind and was told the wait was so long because I was a new patient, and they had to put all my info into the system. I was not happy about it but was willing to wait at that point. An hour and a half in, however, they brought back a walk-in patient, and that was the last straw for me. Never have I waited that long to be seen outside of an emergency room. I asked for them to cancel my appt and left without being seen, and they werent even slightly apologetic.

Scott Whisnant Had my first and last visit there. The only thing that they was concerned about is if I was there for a COVID test or if Ive had my covid shot. Everything she wrote a prescription for I can literally buy without a prescription. Allegra-D behind the pharmacy counter Benadryl over the counter ibuprofen over the counter. Then wanted me to have lab work done? What for? A waste and a joke Id be better off going to an unlicensed Dr in Mexico. Had me put a mask on because of a slight cough covid is 3 years old now and thats still immediately the first thing some people jump to.

Tosha Barry This is a horrible place to go. All the DR Rana cared about was that I was over weight. She didn’t do any proper Diagnosis or treatment to help me. She had blood work done and my blood levels were alarmingly low and instead of actually helping and caring all she could focus on was that I had gained 2 pounds from one appointment to the next. She was snarky and rude when I explained I had lost over 40 lbs the previous year and was still working to lose more however the lack of energy plus a new addition of ice craving had me worried and she didn’t even know what my symptoms meant even though I told her what I was feeling because anemia is a family illness. If I could give zero stars I would!

Karla R-B This was from a couple years back, both my husband & I had gone in to the walk in clinic at two different times that day. We already have Primary Care Providers in Mayo that we have been with over 10+ years. At that current time, they were book solid. So we decided to go into a walk in clinic. They were very pushy about us to choose them as our new PCP. Never going to happen, they were that incompetent, that unprofessional, that pushy, that rude, that annoying. We had both DESCRIBED why we were coming into the walk in clinic. They wanted to instead discuss our other health issues that our PCPS handle. I was there due to sore & very painful throat, fever, pain in my ears. I dont need to discuss much else unless they prescribed something that might interfere. After a higher cost than a co-pay they did next to nothing. Obviously we had LET it RUN the course. Which is why we chose to pay a higher cost to be seen & get relief. I dont need over the counter, I already tried that. They finally did prescribe something. Then CVS pharmacy where we have been going to since 2009 was like this wont help you with your issue when we checked with the pharmacist. They got it called up to ask them. Oh that wasnt what they meant to prescribe. For real the prescription they wrote out & handed me wasnt the one they meant to prescribe. I was so sick I was ready to cry I was still very sick & they wanted me to come back just to get a prescription. I ran & I ended up getting into my ENT at Accent in Gainesville which was only $45. They got me the medication for my tonsillitis, double ear infections like I thought it was. This doctor was like no no, so they misdiagnosed it. I got some relief but I ended up having my tonsils removed at 45 a month and a half later. I then got a call about them becoming being our PCP, some months later. I laughed, like really. I was still sick & had to get another doctor to figure what was actually going on. NOPE, NEVER, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
