The Best 15 highly rated medical facilities near Inverness, FL (Page 3)

Jada Canter doctors are good; but front office never answers phone, returns messages or helps. I requested a paper be sent to school 6 months ago. still waiting for them to send it. (i went to health department and did it myself). If you can get an appointment, good luck

Laura Thomas My daughter was a new patient and the office got her in 2 days of initial phone call. On the day of her visit every single person from front desk, to doctors assistant, to Dr Hiremath himself was so friendly, patient asking all the right questions, and made sure she got the right referral. Then Peggy and Julie went out of their way to make sure she got the referral from insurance so she could see specialist. We are so blessed to find this office. Thank you!

melissa franco Front desk is very unprofessional and doesnt have everything organized or put together. I was afraid this was the only place in Inverness luckily I just found a place I can take my kids to. Drs are good but front desk horrible warning dont come here

Klara-Inez Portugal Called in multiple times to get hung up by Tammy. Very Rude front desk.

Yvette Evelyn Answer your phone Called many times well after their lunch hour and still got the same closed for lunch message Called again and got put on hold I’d get fired if I didn’t answer the phone at work

Jana J I use the Patient Portal for SCHEDULING and MESSAGING my team of doctors at Citrus Cardiology. Dr Topi is my cardiologist and his team is top notch. I’ve been a patient here since moving to Florida. I had asked my neighbors’ group who they recommended for various doctors (PCP, Pulmonologist, Oncologist, Cardiologist… ) and was recommended to Citrus Cardiology and Dr Topi. The practice is highly thought of outside the “recent Google reviewers.” 2021 was my first major cardiac need since back in 2009 when I was first diagnosed with heart failure and in need of a cardiologist. I’m have surgery coming up and trust the medical practitioners here with my life.

Sharon Stegemeyer I have left FOUR messages (since nobody answers when you call) stating that I was trying to make an appointment after going to the ER with heart related issues, and I have yet to receive a call back! Im not even a new patient! Plus, this is the place that the ER doctor recommended!

Stephen Clarke They seemed very nice people at the outset, friendly and efficient, nurse who took the vitals was excellent. The Dr Goel came into the room and was unable to get blood pressure and after a few attempts “We’re not here for blood pressure anyway so let’s stop trying, besides it’s due to poor life choices anyway” He then described my Mother in Law as “Enormous” and who is not enormous with a 32 BMI, and said he can’t help her. As he left the room he said “God bless you” Obviously we’re not going back!

Deb Councill If you decide to get a second opinion after using this "practice" good choice. If you need a second opinion from an Electrophysiologist, expand your search to Pasco County and read reviews for options for an Electrophysiologist in Pasco County to decide what is best for your care. A one time second opinion if you decide that is the best choice for you is worth the time to decide how you wish to proceed once you have a backup opinion for your care and your health.

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.

Vickie Hall Only reason I gave one star is so that I could post my review. Absolutely the most unprofessional, condescending and non empathetic medical office I’ve ever been to of any kind, primary or specialist. As many of the other reviews state, the office staff is just rude. They treat you as if you’re crazy or stupid. They are only open one day and if that doesn’t work for you then oh well. I was out of my antidepressants and they refused to work with me on getting an emergency script called in, in order to prevent a mental crash. They told me I should’ve called last week. I did, and of course got the answering machine. Their message is even rude, stating that if you leave more than one message you will not be returned, which I was reminded of when I did actually speak with someone. Really!? I am on a simple, low dose antidepressant. I can only imagine that this office treats patients with more severe mental issues and can only hope that they are being treated at least a little bit better, but I highly doubt it. One of my reason for the depression is the loss of my youngest daughter almost 4 years ago. She was taken tragically by a hit a run driver. After her passing I was lost, in a fog, however you’d like to explain it. (Trust me, it is unexplainable). I had recently moved and had not yet found a primary and after this event, it was last on my mind, so yea, I’ve been off my medication for some time. This man had the audacity to tell me I would not be in the mental state I was had I not stopped taking my medication back then. How dare him. He either has no children or is simply a heartless human being. He also diagnosed me as OCPD, and told me I needed to read a book he recommended. Wow! Just wow. Needless to say I am changing my primary (that’s a different story for a different review) in order to be directed to a more professional office.

kellei johnson Office staff makes mistakes and tells me to pay no show fee. I did not no show. I was sick and contagious and could prove it with my PCP office. They cancelled next appointment anyway. Asked them to have doctor call me. No one ever called again. I was a patient for 2 years!

Matt H Shows little interest. Too busy with students. Grumpy. Didn’t listen when I told what medications I was currently on. Berated me for an appointment 3 years ago, last time I would have seen him. I made it thru 2 appointments this time, decided to find someone else. Office staff is fine.

Brian Keith The staff is clueless! Was there in March, had an outstanding balance from insurance. I told the older lady, in March I would pay it all in April when I got my taxes. I called to confirm my appointment,in April and it was non existent! Didnt think much about it and rescheduled for the next Monday in May. She called me back the next day and said both appointments, April and May, were cancelled by the OFFICE MANAGER until I payed 50%. No- inter office communication? The whole place is falling apart. I need a good doctor. I dont need this stress.

Robby Wagner He treated, and even referred to me, as my diagnose. Especially when he had an intern with him. Im a patient, not a lab project. Then he asked me to tell him what I should be taking. When I told him thats his job, he claimed I missed two appointments and fired me. Had to struggle with no meds for weeks, before I was able to find another doctor. Hes lost his passion for helping. Time to retire doc.

Jutta C As every time in the past I have been treated wonderful-by Dr. Summers AND the staff I dealt with! When I need a refill I can pick it up within a day, bloodwork always has been reviewed and discussed if there was an issue. Today Crystal bent backwards helping me to get a quick MRI appointment - worked just fine! Had it TODAY as well Thank you all!!

Peggy Calaluca I have been seeing Dr. Summers for years and to say him and his staff are the best would be a gross understatement. They listen, provide solutions and most of all care about each and every one of their patients. From patient care to custom care they are all the very best. Thank you for taking care of all of us.

Denise Carroll This review is for Dr. Summers staff, Brittney is extremely rude and unprofessional...I wanted to reschedule my husbands appointment because he didnt want to see the PA, I was told everyone has to see the PA when I explained my reasoning I was told that maybe my husband and I should find a new primary care provider! Seriously! My husband is a 2 time cancer survivor and is very comfortable with Dr. Summers. It amazes me that someone who works in healthcare could be sold cold and callus. Things were much better with Dr. Summers old staff.

Jk B I am in disbelief of how the staff treated me. However, upon reading the Google reviews, I can see I am not the only one...by a long shot. I concur with the experiences of the other raters regarding the behavior of the staff and in particular, the nurse. I switched my son and I to this physician a little over a year ago because he was highly recommended. We have only been a couple of times for the annual visit and I have only one prescription. Somehow, at the last visit, the prescription was not called in properly, then it went to the wrong pharmacy and by day 10 I still had no prescription. I had already called and left messages. Finally, someone answered the phone in the afternoon (all calls seem to only go to everyones voicemail, even reception), and the receptionist told me it wasnt her fault. Then she said she would tell the nurse- who then got on the phone and began being disrespectful, condescending and refused to let me speak. I was so angry! I did nothing except come for my annual exam and need one medication refill. How could that simple visit turn into such a negative and bizarre experience??!! I even left messages for my doctors assistant insisting that I speak directly to my provider about this- but just dead air. Not how I wish to be treated by my physician or his staff- so I will be searching for a new primary care. I find it unfortunate to have to leave advice for others to steer clear of this practice!

Kyon UPDATE: Ive only been in twice this year (2023) and both times the staff was more pleasant than before (honestly it was only one staff member the first time). Ive changed my rating from a 2/5 to a 5/5. Again, Dr. Summers is a great doctor and Im glad his staff is indicative of that as well. I want to be clear that this rating is because of Dr. Summers nurse, not him. Dr. Summers is a kind and compassionate doctor. He also has a great personality. His nurse answered the phone and was very condescending. I am a parent with a genuine concern. My son has been a patient at this office for about 5 months and Ive been unable to get him in to be seen when hes been sick.I called this morning to see if he can be seen, but Dr. Summers is out. When I was informed of this, I stated that this wont work for me and Ill have to switch my son back to his previous pediatrician so he can be seen. His nurse informed me that I "Dont know why Dr. Summers is out" and that if my son is sick then I "Should have booked an appointment yesterday and he couldve been seen." This point would have been a fair one if, 1. she wasnt being condescending, and 2. she shouldve realized that she didnt know why my son didnt have an appointment booked that day. He had a dentist appointment out of town to arrange a procedure to get done next month. I called teladoc yesterday and they suggested that he is seen today. So I called early this AM. Ive decided to just take him out of this doctors office, but I am very disgusted with Dr. Summers nurse. To the point I will be looking for another PCP for myself as well. Im giving them a rating of 2 stars because 1 just seems like a terrible rating because Joshua Summers is an awesome person, but he needs to revaluate some of his staff.

Laraine Jordan I have been a patient of Dr Govantes for the past four years and I’m so thankful I found this amazingly kind, patient and thorough physician. Dr Govantes takes his time with you and really listens to the concerns or issues you’re experiencing. He thoroughly explains an issue, offers options and recommendations. He has a wonderful sense of humor and puts you at ease from the moment he enters the room which helps you better explain your reason for the visit. His staff couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. Tracey his nurse has been there since I began going there, and she’s also is a very kind and patient person. Any time I’ve called the office when I was sick they got me in to see the doctor, or refilled prescriptions that had run out almost immediately. I’ve watched the staff interact with patients many of whom are older with compassionate care and understanding! This doctor and his staff really care about your healthcare, and I thank God I was fortunate enough to have found them because of a friend’s recommendation whose been a patient there for 16 years!

Ronald Deller Strictly a pill doctor , his office manager or receptionist run the show and thinks she is a doctor. I would advise anyone who thinks about going to him to have a second thought. Your life is more valuable then to have a dumb receptionist taking care of your medical needs He has it in his office Dr. Govantes and girls. Think about that !

Melvyn I am unbelievably upset by the way the receptionist treated me when i was on my way to this office. I was taking a client with developmental disabilities there for a physical and there were a lot of detours around the area so i called and said i need some assistance on getting to the office. This woman was the rudest most unprofessional woman i have ever talked to she. She basically belittled me and made me feel like an idiot because i did not know how to get there due to the detours. I also had other coworkers say this woman was nasty to them as well.

Tonya Caldwell Dr ok. Nice enough. Listens. Christine was soooo rude to me the other day. I called to ask about something in my medical file and she jumped all over me. I called back and asked what that was all about and she jumped on me some more. No one should have to take this from anyone. I can’t tolerate rude service.

Ruthie Dr Govantes and Tracey get a 4.5. Michelle- 0 I have a friend that goes there and has said for years that Michelle is not nice to anyone. Feelings have actually been hurt by Michelle’s words. NOT a good representation for any office.

Brittnee Shore If I could give zero stars I would. This place is awful. I went the first month and told them I had low blood pressure and had to be careful with certain meds. They prescribed me a medicine that lowered it to the point I was blacking out. I attempted to reach out and was told they’d reach back out to me. A week later, I found out she was fired. I meet the new doc and she prescribed me a different med but it was giving me insomnia. I asked if we could lower it. She told me to cut it in half. I proceeded to call back saying I can’t because it’s a capsule. I kept calling and calling being told they would call in a new prescription. NOTHING! We go there to get help and they DO NOT help. Stay far, far away from this place for your mental health and wellbeing.

Robert Larson I became a patient in December of 2023. My nurse practitioner, Tammie Leydig, has been very helpful and informative guiding me through a medication change and thanks to her, Im doing very well. I feel very comfortable under her care.

Regina Soria This is the best mental health practice I have been to in many many years. My first experience was with Tammi and she made me feel so comfortable when I called to set up my first appointment. It was like I was chatting with a friend. Next I had my appointment and I could tell Dr Vernon was not only listening to me but she was also hearing me and thats a big deal!! Im so glad I found them!!

Liz Windley When I scheduled my appointment, they told me they would call me back after I filled out paperwork. A week passed without a call and I had to be the one to call back for an appointment. They told me I would have to wait at least 6 weeks for the next availability. Once the appointment time came, I received a voicemail stating to be there at my appointment time. I arrived 10 minutes early and wasn’t even greeted by the two people behind the desk. When I said hello, the guy, Erik, behind the desk was short and didn’t greet me, only asked for my name and before I even finished, he rudely interrupted me and said “we need to reschedule you.” Even after insisting the voicemail said to be there at my appointment time, he continued to interrupt me and cut me off mid sentence. I went to play the voicemail as proof insisting that I could fill out paperwork afterwards, but he rudely told me “there’s no need to be testy.” I responded with “please don’t be rude to me. I’m only trying to make this work and haven’t been on my psych meds in over 8 months and desperately need them” he said “am I raising my voice? No. So I’m not being rude.” Which I then responded with, “you don’t need to raise your voice to be rude.” He was condescending and gave me an appointment for a month and a half later. My husband called 30 minutes after I left the office to schedule an appointment just to see, and was given an earlier appointment time. I was discriminated against and I will never EVER recommend them to anyone. GO TO OCALA PEOPLE! Balanced well-being have me an appointment within a week and literally saved my life. Instic is careless, thoughtless, and all around a bad environment. Not at all designed for people on the brink of mental health.

Claudia Miller I Valarie Lockard, would like to share a wonderful expericenc I had yesterday with Tammi. I spoke with her to see if she could assist me in getting into tratment with a new provider/doctor, Dr. Patel whom I treated with while in hospital last week for the first time. He has never been my treating doctor before. I really like his professionalism and the way he worked with me on my case. However, when discharged from the hospital I was given a follow up appointment with a staff member PA insteaad of Dr Patel for month of August. The change I was requesting took most of the day speaking back and forth with Tammi who was so very patient, kind and respectable to me on each call. Finally the end result was that I had a new appointment date and time with Dr. Patel that was moved up from September to August. I just wanted to give a wonderful review to Tammi for he help and let her know how much she was appricated.

Louis Toth Dr. Ulseth is the best PM ever! He doesnt sugar coat anything and he always has ur best interest in mind! Just do and take ur meds as prescribed and u wont have an issue. I have nothing but the ut most respect for his practice and employees. Just remember that hes the doctor and he will listen to ur concerns. Thanks Doc for everything

Frank Simkins I want to thank doctor Ulself and his team for doing a great job for me. He reads what the team right in the computer and discusses issues and listens. I know this because I didnt ask him to do anything special when a situation arrived of the timing of my renewal. But when I called the pharmacy he had made a note on my prescription that helped me tremendously, thank you. I hope you have a great birthday. I will see you in November. Frank Simkins

Tracy Lee I have been a patient of Dr. Ulseth for 6 years now. Dr. Ulseth is a very good Dr., he has helped me through many of issues that Ive had and I travel an hour n 15 minutes each way to see him. Hes not the kind of Dr that will "give you" what you "need", hes far more professional than that, and will help you as long as you follow the rules and be honest with him. He will even help you if you have trouble following rules, but only once, Im sure. I found some of these reviews appalling, and have been in the office when patients that are looking to "get high" have been asked to leave, and I dont blame them one bit.

Wavey Wells An excellent doctor that puts up with no BS from his patients. You either follow his professional advice or you dont, then you arent a patient of his. Hes very blunt and that way you know what is expected of you.

3D Magic of Citrus The Dr is awesome as long as you follow instructions. Once he gets to know you he is easy to work with. Dont come seeking pain meds alone, you may need PT or surgery. Be patient with the staff as the are working for you as well

Angelina D Almeida Whoever used my name to file the complaint against this Dr. they’re tracing your IP address. We have the same insurance company they called me. He got a star because it’s the only way I can say what I have to say. I heard what you said to a patient. You should not be in practice at all. You’re annoying with your attitude! I have lots of choice words about you and your attitude. Be grateful I’m a lady and didn’t rip you a new one. You’re abuse to your patients. Using your authority on whether your patients get their medication or not to endure your verbal and mental abuse. I’m going to do everything within in my power to give you an attitude adjustment. Using proper channels, with any luck you’ll lose your license to practice!!

Rob Douma I have seen Dr Ulseth for many years. During that time he has helped me with several issues that I have had. He always takes time to answer any questions and includes me in treatment decisions. I highly recommend him and his staff.

Andrew Hall I think the name dr. Uldeath is more appropriate as he breaks you down and makes you want to die. He is the epitome of grumpy old man. Please go somewhere where you will be treated with fairness and kindness, because it sure isnt here.

Kenny Kiker If i could give 0 stars I would. Read the reviews they all have a theme. Yelling berating and controlling, In my opinion, Dr Ulseth should be investigated. I wasnt a patient, a family member was. I witnessed and heard this Dr say things to other patients that were unbelievable, often hearing this from the waiting room! This guy is the most unprofessional,rude, arrogant Doctor Ive ever met

Bill Margiotta I recently moved my elderly parents to Florida to take care of them. So glad I found Dr Co to be their primary physician. My father has a long history heart problems and my mother has high blood pressure. Dr Co was extremely knowledgeable about all the conditions, advised us, liasoned with the cardiologist and got the proper testing scheduled. I feel very comfortable with Dr Co and I am very grateful to have found a competent and attentive doctor to take care of my parents.

Bob Fowler Use extreme caution when dealing with this person. He was my PCP until I realized he wasnt competent enough to care for my pet rock. He is inconsiderate, has difficulty communicating (English is not his primary language) and will spend more time typing into his laptop than communicating with his patient. Is diagnostic ability is non existent and even when your symptoms are glaringly obvious, he will not address then directly but almost has determined what he will prescribe before he enters the room. I have since changed service because of his incompetence. Only wish there was a negative rating as he certainly deserves that.

Patricia OGrady Clueless doctor. He was my mothers dr for years . when she began falling , drooling and shuffling walking this idiot told her she was probably having mini strokes She just passed away from end stage Parkinson disease which he completely missed. On her death bed she said she would like to punch him in the face. Had he properly diagnosed her, her life could have been extended by years with the proper medications. Tried to get her medical records from his office several times for her new drs but his office played games and never got them, probably because he had much to hide.

William Handlon What do you call someone at the bottom of their graduating class at medical school? Answer...Doctor. From our families experience with Dr Co it shouldnt even be that. When someones life could have been extended if the Dr knew what he was doing. If you dont know recommend someone who does. To bad you cant leave 0 stars

joni desmet I feel Dr. Co is actually very competent and he is supported by a very skeletal staff that has their hands full. I think he really does care about each and every patient but unfortunately with the way the system is these days he has very little time to spend with each individual.

Nancy DiPalo Always fast, efficient, and pleasant to be treated by.

Soulmate Lost2014 This us the worst place .I just had a breast exam sponsored my the fire fighters .I have had exams before but there was n I reason this person should had commended about my implants .Nor should she have been so rough.If she felt I didnt deserve to be there than she should have refused to do the mamagran she made me scream. and seem to find humor in my pain I had to call my Dr right after Iam scared she my have reputed my implant and no way should she have said a word on the size which is a small c after 2 days still in pain never again wicked so I did get a call from the medical office but I never have received an apology and I hate to tell them that yes I believe that she has damage an implant so so much for doing a good job for the people will be talking further

Jessica very nice medical professionals. very attentive towards patients.

Joe Donato World Class! *****

Jason Sr I went (Danielle) the beginning of February to the medical department, & had a totally different experience then ALL the reviews Ive read. Yes I waited a while but when do u not when it comes to the doctors, they listened & treated me with respect. A week later I fell & broke my hip. I have an appointment to c them next week & they have been nothing but helpful & worked well with the hospital. Looking forward to seeing them & continue treatment .

Sarah Goodpaster I attended this clinic since January in hopes to secure a primary care provider to assist with documenting and diagnosing my ongoing muscular disability. I havent had one good experience and switched my primary care to a different clinic. My doctor was Rivera, who treated me like just another patient. I felt zero compassionate care and the appointments always seemed rushed -- I never had time to explain my disability nor did she seem interested. When the blood results came back my cretanine kinase was incredibly low -- indicating severe muscular atrophy. She wasnt phased by this and told me my results were normal. Rivera proceeded to refer me to a rheumatologist (where I tested negative for every immunopathic disorder). I had to ask for referrals to specific doctors and clinics -- neurologists, orthopedics, gastroenterologist (which she sent me to a surgeon instead, twice). Not once did she obtain any medical paperwork from other clinics -- I never signed to release records. Not once did she ask why I needed to see these specialists, specifically. Not once did she send information to the specialists -- as each referral to the specialists were incomplete. Rivera recently left the clinic and I never received a notice of my primary care doctor leaving. I was informed over a phone call when I called to schedule an appointment. Upon the final visit I was seen by a nurse, no doctor, no official primary care -- because the nurse was a "temporary fill-in" until they hired a new doctor. The secretary attempted to make me sign a piece of paper staring that I owed the clinic over 300 dollars in medical bills. The secretary spoke to me in an absolutely appalling way when I asked to see the bill -- I hadnt received anything in the mail. "Im just going to write on here that you arent willing to pay your medical bills," of which I replied, "I dont see the legality of signing a document in which you wont allow me to see what Im supposed to be paying." I asked for the number to the billing department -- she gave me the number with an attitude and told me I could leave her station. I called the billing department the next day and they stated that they dont have a policy of "signing to pay for past medical bills." The billing department checked my account and I was completely in the clear. They have zero idea what the secretary tried to make me sign. Please beware of this clinic. I understand that its for low-income individuals and is part of the state-funded medical system. If you have insurance I urge you to please pick a different clinic. Ive been at my wits end with this place for nearly a year. I recently switched to CMHS and theyve treated me with the kind of care I need. Langley is absolutely despicable and should be avoided at all costs.

Andrew Kennedy Always moved appointments around without telling you. Missed appointments or I went and no appointment because they moved it.

P Kimmons I would denie medical treatment if this was the only location available. Left on hold till closing, and medical intake has no respect nor consideration for pt. Just rude! I Walked out never to return!!! #referred

Chris Michaud Worst hospital I’ve ever been to. 5 hours and still no answers and my wife came in with chest pains. If it wasn’t for MEL B we prob wouldn’t have been seen. Took 3.5-4 hours before we even saw a doctor. Our nurse went to another position, and told us new nurse would be taking care of us…guess what? She NEVER came in. I literally had to keep asking and asking and the only one who ever had answers was MEL B. Registration was in within 5 minutes. Get your money to pay for what? Staff? Lol charge more I guess, because it’s time for cleanup and hire people who want to work and care about their patients. We asked where a doctor was in mid issue and I was told they were doing shift change. Honestly I should be talking to a lawyer….shift change should be done in phases in an emergency room, McDonald’s doesn’t even do that… fire everyone in charge in management and put people with priorities in the correct order…patients, effective treatment plans and then money. But I’ll get the bill with no discounts for inconvenience or pure lack of patient care and job effectiveness.
