The Best 19 highly rated medical facilities near Panama City, FL (Page 2)

James Dunham I have had mostly positive experiences working with the Staff at this hospital. Especially a lady named Monique. She has consistently displayed a bright and cheer full attitude toward me, who may not have deserved that level of professional . While there are some good things about most staff MONIQUE has been the flower

Shane Stultz Select hospital in Panama city is truly a great place to have a loved one the staff from ceo to housekeeping go above and beyond for their patients. My mother has been in this facility for 20 days and has had the best of care from the nursing staff. Not only has my mother had great health care here the whole team has helped her emotionally, as she celebrated her 70th birthday in the hospital the whole staff signed her card and the ceo delivered her a teddy bear and a balloon him self. In my opinion top notch facility.

William Rusnak So glad we came here. My husband’s care has been out standing. I would like to thank the Dr’s, Nurses , especially Dan physical therapist, Kelly respiratory, wound specialist Janice, CNA’s Monique , Torrey, Maria . Thanks to the entire staff including our case worker Jessica.. All outstanding caring professionals.

Monica Knauf Fantastic stay with team nurses and staff that were well informed and worked together. A shout out to Monique and Shicala. From good food, to answering my call light, my therapist, they all helped me get to where I today. Im Wisconsin bound and hopefully everyone has a great summer and God bless everyone. LIFE IS GOOD

Sharon Curlee Wonderful people. Always making me laugh, especially Monique. Very professional and qualified for job positions. I would definitely recommend to others. Drs Khan and Hussein are amazing as is the Therapy teams. Thank you for the care I received.

Heather Jeter Today was my first visit. I had came in yesterday hoping to be a walk-in however I came during their lunch break. The lady at the desk was very kind and set me up with an appointment for today, because I had to go back to work. When I came in for my appointment today, I had a very short wait, the staff was very friendly and so was Carlos Fernandez. Everyone was kind and respectful and I felt I was taken very good care of. My primary provider has recently passed away and so I was looking for a new doctor. I have switched to Pronto Care and I am looking forward to a good experience based off of how well everything went today. As a side note, the lobby is absolutely beautiful and has such wonderful woodwork in it and was all decorated for Christmas. The office is very clean and the staff was super friendly. I really felt like the staff was very caring.

Amanda Gould I went into the office today very sick. I provided my insurance card and knew my copay. Front desk calls me up and tells me they won’t take my insurance and that I need to pay self pay. I ask why and they tell me some crazy business about having more than one insurance. Ummm no I have one. They first told me that they would bill it and then the credit would go on my account. I have been seen here for over 2 years and this was the worst I have ever been treated by staff. I sat waiting after agreeing to self pay for 2 hours. A lady walks in with a little complaint and they took her right back. I can barely breathe, and many other complaints. I finally got up asked for my money back and walked out. I made sure to file a complaint with the insurance company as well. This is not how you treat people. They didn’t care one bit. They aren’t the sick ones. Let this happen to them or one of their family members

Casey Nelson Dr Fernandez is very comforting. He listens and takes his time with his patients. Highly recommend!

Ashley Hobson Pronto medical care is always accommodating and professional. The provider and the office staff exceed expectations beyond measures. Rachel always goes the extra mile. Go see them!

james Appleby Pronto Medical Clinic is the best clinic in Panama City, low waiting room time when you do not have appointment and you always get greeted by friendly smiles.

Doris Elliott We absolutely love Rainbow Pediatrics! The staff is amazing and so sweet! My daughter Anna gets very nervous going to any type of doctor, but the medical staff at Rainbow pediatrics always makes her feel comfortable! She always leaves with a smile and I do as well! Thank you all for taking such great care of my princess!!!

alixis lucas Definitely recommend this pediatrician. My daughter doctor is Alkilani and he is the best. Never had a bad experience so far. I’m glad my daughter goes here :)

Frances Hollinger My family has been going here for a few years now. I love Dr Tempo and I love Dr Rezk. However, the past couple of visits have been horrendous. With an appointment I still end up waiting for an hr to be seen. I have been very worried about my daughter who has severe allergies and needed antibiotics. Instead of providing guidance and support in finding an antibiotic that will work for her, I felt belittled and spoken down to. The nurse I have been speaking to was not helpful and honestly just plain rude. She made me feel like a bother for having a child with allergies. It was the final straw and we will be switching to another provider. If you have a child with any type of special need or will require urgent appointments/care…I do not recommend this place. If you have a fairly healthy child who typically only needs well checks…dr rezk or dr tempo are the two that I trust if you are able to get in with them.

Ashley White We have been going to Rainbow Pediatrics since 2023, and unfortunately, its been a series of disappointments. They will waste your time to the moon and back. Their outdated processes and lack of organization have been a consistent source of frustration. From the start, its been surprising how little they seem to keep up with the times. For instance, there is no online portal, so any time you need paperwork, you have to physically go to their office to pick it up. If they forget to give you a paper, it’s on you to take time out of your day to make another trip. Getting test results is another hassle—theres no courtesy call. You have to schedule an appointment just to hear the results, which delays any necessary treatment if you arent already aware theres an issue. And telehealth? Not an option here. They make you come in, even for simple matters that could easily be handled over a video call. Their prescription process is equally frustrating. The last time I needed a prescription, I was handed a handwritten note. I couldnt believe it; its 2024, and everything should be electronic! This lack of modern technology and efficiency is baffling. Trying to get an authorization for referred care is like pulling teeth. You end up having to micromanage their staff to ensure anything gets done. There have been more than a handful of occasions where they make you, the patient, work harder than they do. Instead of working smarter, they leave you to pick up the slack. Overall Rainbow Pediatrics desperately needs to get their office staff organized and implement more modern processes. With some basic improvements, they could truly provide great care. But as it stands, youll likely spend more time navigating their outdated processes than getting actual medical help.

Marie Davis My son’s have been going to Rainbow Clinic since 2016 we more like family. The greet we get with the beautiful smiles and Good care I dont think it can get any better then this. Dr.Rezek went beyond his job when my son was hospitalized for 3 days. He dropped everything that night and Took care of Kameron The wait time not long its clean in his clinic plus the kids get to watch Tv or play with toys.. Plus the scheduling is so easy to make omg Moms they work around your schedule and do walk-ins..

Cheyanne Kauffman Was a great visit. Got my father in law rite in. The nurses were very professional and sweet. And his dr was so great. Very friendly made us feel welcome n very comfortable. And did everything to get to the bottom of my dads problem, then called the next day to set up his appointment with his surgeon.

Lindsey Holt The doctor was great. Other than I came with pain at a ten and they didn’t give me any medicine. Didn’t ask for narcotics at all. Nurse, left room and never offered a pillow, blanket, or call light. I laid on that hard stretcher for hours, just like that. I’d suggest to staff to be more compassionate to their patients. I would also suggest it be mandatory that all patients who come in with a cough wear a mask. So gross to sit there with a bunch of coughing sick people who don’t cover their mouths.

Sonja Presley I was checked promptly by the front desk clerk; the Triage Nurse saw me within minutes then I was taken back to a room. The ER Doctor introduced himself, listened to my concerns then ordered the appropriate tests. The CT Scan Tech came and got me quickly; then Radiologist report was ready within 1/2 hour. ER Doctor then explained what I had and gave me a Treatment Plan.

Sydney Lee Just had a really great experience here. I came in the middle of the night and was seen quickly. The medical staff were attentive and kind and did their best to make me comfortable while waiting for results/treatment. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate our healthcare workers, especially those who work to keep us healthy and safe 24/7.

Carlos Parra Barrueta On my part, the clinic was terrible. It took 4 hours for someone to attend to me. When I managed to get in, no one would attend to me. Suddenly, the ambulance driver appeared, telling me I could leave if I wanted. I had already stopped to leave once before and the guy at the reception told me to wait and this man appeared. I was speechless. Whoever gives orders, the nurses. I have no complaints, but I never saw the supposed doctor. I dont understand how he can give a diagnosis without examining a patient. I was crazy, but I dont recommend him to anyone. The doctor works wonderfully without seeing the patients. How nice.

Sarah Emery I cannot express enough gratitude for Nurse Shannon, who took care of my two-year-old in the ER. From the moment we arrived, her warmth and professionalism immediately put both of us at ease. She was so gentle and patient with my little one, making sure to explain everything in a way that was calming and understandable, even when my child was scared and upset. Nurse Shannon’s compassion shone through in every interaction, whether she was explaining the process of the exam or simply offering a reassuring smile. She made an otherwise stressful experience feel much more manageable and showed incredible skill in handling my child’s needs with both expertise and empathy. I truly felt that my child was in the best hands, and I am so thankful for her care. She is an outstanding nurse, who was dedication to providing exceptional care in such a compassionate way. Thank you, Nurse Shannon, for making a challenging day so much easier for us!

Alyssa Sato I brought my daughter here when she was running a high fever that we couldn’t break. Our sweet nurse Shannon took amazing care of us and she was so kind and patient with my daughter through testing. I really enjoy going to this ER on the beach because we are typically seen pretty fast and we usually go at night. Shannon has been our nurse a couple different times throughout our trips to this ER, and I remember her name because she is always the biggest help. The docs are also amazing, attentive, and understanding.

Joe Zednick This is without a doubt the best emergency room Ive ever experienced. (and unfortunately Ive been in several) The entire staff was helpful and very friendly, I could tell I was in good hands. It was a scary time for me arriving in an ambulance and not knowing why I passed out at home. They quickly had me in a room and were running all kinds of tests. The Doctor and Nurses took as much time as I needed to answer any and all questions. Thank you all!!! Joseph Zednick Panama City Beach FL

Diane Cook Worst Hospital I think I’ve ever been to. I walk in at approximately 1:15 in the afternoon then sign in and then you wait for someone to come and take your blood and stool samples and then they leave blood pressure cuff on you and tell you to go back in the waiting room. I got called back finally at 10 something PM while the Hospital waiting room wasn’t that busy. the thing I think I was mostly upset about is because new people would come in and leave. it seemed like as old people there were there forever. well, they never did put an IV in me when I seen anybody come out of the blood room. They had IV hooked up already so when they finally did call me back, they wanted to give me some IV fluoride didn’t have no IV so they never tried anybody else to get me an IV. I did give him a bowel stool to get tested when I first got there and by the time they called me back, they couldn’t find my stool. They actually lost my shit so I lost my shit. Went home with nothing done lost over 13 pounds in last five days with having diarrhea every hour and sometime more. With having many accidents. I had went to urgent the day before at least they did more for me I got iv fluids. Now today I’m still sick but will stay home because my body couldn’t go through that another day. I have no results on my stool test. Tell say they would call to tell me results, but I don’t have any faith that they don’t lose it again. I understand trauma needs to be seen first . Then it should be who comes in first. I think you were just wanting me to get mad enough to leave. One person went to her car to lay down and rest told them and she asked them to text her when they wanted her. . Well guess what that didn’t happen rather. They came out and called her but they didn’t text her so when she came back in she was so upset she had to wait longer. She had been crying and upset with pain most of 5-6 hrs I seen her. You really need to set up your hospital differently. The people you have working are great people and they deserve better because they are getting the brunt of all the unsatisfied people. When I start to feel better I will write and tell you how bad I really think you are

Jo Ann Revell Everyone was so nice and made my daughter laugh. She twisted her ankle and was in pain. They were very thorough and fast with X-rays and explained everything very well.

Carrie Fioramonti These physicians share misinformation about CoVid on their social media pages.

Tanya Koller Great organization.

Robert Carroll We greatly appreciate the care my elderly mother-in-law received when visiting recently. Heidi Barr was extremely knowledgeable regarding her geriatric needs and was very thorough in her care. The nurse was caring and treated her with dignity and the staff was so helpful in getting her inside and making her feel comfortable. We were there at the end of the day when we knew they were ready to go home but they went above and beyond for us, we got the answers we needed, and we are very grateful. We highly recommend Seawind, as always.

Joanne Cox My regular physician recommended the Seawind Medical Clinic when I have an emergency or when I need help on a holiday. That is the way I have used the Clinic at least three or four times. I have never been disappointed with the consideration of the entire staff, and with the doctors diagnosis and follow-up of my problem. The wait time was minimal. I would recommend them to anyone at any time.

Brittany Bentz I went to Seawind Medical Clinic while on vacation and I could not be happier with my choice. I called ahead to make sure they took my insurance and walked in without an appointment some time later. I was seen right after I finished my paperwork, so I did not have to wait a significant amount of time. Dr. Jacobson and Olga Arnold were exceptionally kind and took great care of me. I would absolutely recommend Seawind Medical Clinic to anyone in PCB.

Pam Roberson As a local, I called Seawind Medical Clinic for a routine doctors visit. Natasha was very friendly and helpful on the phone and at the front desk. The paperwork was standard for a new doctors visit, and the wait, especially for a walk-in visit, was minimal. The nurse was extremely friendly and empathetic. PA-C Tammy Howerton was friendly, professional, and efficient. I definitely plan on using Seawind as my primary care provider, and would recommend it to others as well.

Stan Peacock My family doctor was not available recently when I had a head cold and congestion and the family doctors office staff suggested Seawind Medical Clinic. I went to the Seawind Office and they took my information and got me in to see the doctor right away. I received the medical help I needed without delay. The Seawind staff were pleasant, positive in attitude, and professional in manner and services delivered. I am thankful for their services.

Sarah Kotranza Dr. Josten "cared" for my grandmother. She had dementia and various heart issues. After getting shingles and being in severe nerve pain he refused to prescribe her any pain medications, refused to recommend her for hospice (which she needed), and then suggested an esophageal dilation procedure to "help her gain weight". There was no swallow test done and no diagnostic reasons for that procedure. We switched physicians and he prescribed her lidocaine patches (which helped with her pain), a steroid (which helped her gain weight), and once my grandfather realized she was not improving (and had gotten over the false optimism provided by Dr. Josten) helped get her enrolled in hospice care. She died peacefully in hospice care for which I am forever grateful.

MIke Price Dr. Josten is the best. He takes the time needed for his patients and he truly cares.

SuzMonkey Ive been seeing Dr. Josten since the late 80s when he first opened his practice. Twice during this time my insurance through my employer changed and yet I stayed with Dr. Josten because he is by far the best family practitioner in this county. Ive never waited long to be seen, and he spends ample time with me discussing my issues and plan of treatment. More, he is persistent in his pursuit of information from other doctors hes referred me to, and coordinates care with them on my behalf. Another reviewer complained of outdated decor and rude office staff. I dont care about the decor; it doesnt matter as long as his primary focus is his patients. As for his office staff, they are the best and have always treated me with dignity and friendly professionalism. I will continue seeing Dr. Josten foras long as he is in practice. His integrity and morals are impeccable and he truly cares about his patients.

michael mccormick As a physician myself, I believe that my impressions and rating might just carry some weight. I only need to say that despite the insane medical world we now live in, Dr Josten represents absolutely the highest standards a physician should display. Incredibly intelligent, knowledgeable and kind I personally could not think of a physician anywhere, that I would select over Dr Josten. Would recommend him in the highest of terms, and without reservation!

Elizabeth Watson Dr. Josten is a very pleasant, compassionate, and kind person. If it were not for his physical office and office staff, I would certainly recommend him. The office building is incredibly out of date, wall paper is coming off the walls, the bathrooms are unpleasant and rusted, medical supplies are past their due dates, and there is dust everywhere. We showed up early for our appointment and still waited over 1.25 hours beyond the appointment time to see the doctor. The office staff is impatient and unpleasant.

Malcolm Jester I was there on March 12, all the staff were absolutely amazing! From the triage nurses to my personal nurse and the doctors, as well as all the staff that did my scans after my motorcycle accident. All of the people working in this facility care so much for the people coming in! This was the best experience I’ve ever had in any ER, And although I do, hope it is my last Visit, if I ever have to go to an emergency room again, I will come back to Bay. No questions asked!

Sherry Douglas The staff was very helpful and efficient checking me in. I had to wait about 30 minutes for an examination room. After getting settled in a room Jessica, my nurse, did everything to ensure my comfort as I waited for tests to be conducted and then wait for the results. The doctor listened as I answered his questions so he could determine the tests I needed. Overall my experience was good and I am completely satisfied that I received the best medical care and treatment.

Brian Dilley I’ve never had a more professional confident, caring, empathetic set of caretakers in my life. They took wonderful care of me and I just thank God I have them.

Jenna Crowder JAN 2025, I went to Gulf Coast hospital ER with chest pain and super high blood pressure, was in waiting room for 3 1/2 hours before they even called me back, and was in the ER room for another 2 1/2 hours with no treatment, no doctor even saw me.. I was begging them to get my blood pressure down to no avail. I ended up walking out after waiting 6 HOURS for nothing ZERO TREATMENT...and went to Ascension Sacred Heart, where I was seen and treated immediately. inside of 15 min, I had an ekg (which indicated that I have an enlared left ateium), I was given medication to lower my BP right away, chest xray, & CT scan. I was given a new medication to keep my BP down until my cardiologist appointment which was in 10 days. Sacred Heart didnt have a cardiologist on site, just a nurse practitioner, she did not give me enough meds to keep my BP low to last the full 10 days to my appointment, which is concerning, since it doesnt seem to be working well. They gave me only 7 pills. I did call the hospital to ask if they could give me a few more, but the lady who they patched me through to said she didnt know anything about it. So my BP is still high, I have an enlarged left atrium apparently, Im a mother of 3 young kids, and Im praying that I dont have a stroke before my cardiologist appointment which in on Feb 4th, 2025. But I was seen and treated in the ER right away, so theres that. Compared to Gulf Coast, the ER is way better, but the after care isnt effective.

Paula Gould I can’t convey how appreciative I am of the care I received during this episode of feeling so ill. All the staff did their best to quickly assess and ensure I was stable, nothing critical was occurring, and ensure my pain was managed. Dr Jones was proficient, thorough, attentive and knowledgeable. Michelle A. RN was exceptional. Her attentive and quick care with interventions was so appreciated. Thank you for thinking about my potential post discharge needs as well! You all are the best!

daritey alicia (ali) The doctors the nurse and the surgeons of phenomenal and I do greatly appreciate my housekeeper Miss Brenda on the 4th floor she didnt excellent job and if I asked her about something she also gave me the information it as well we obtained to housekeeping details. Thank you housekeeping for keeping my room sanitized during my stay. Thank you to my nurses for helping me to feel comfortable and allow me to make sure that I can do what I need to once I get home. Thank you to my surgeon for taking up on me as often as you did and to make sure that I was going to be good to go once I got home. I know I work here I have seen some amazing team work. As long as the team work is happening it will always be a smooth shift. Thank yaw so much..miss yaw

Trudi Stout It was a quick & easy procedure from my side, The pain was gone as soon as I woke up from surgery! After having knee pain for a decade I felt great. The room was pleasant and the staff even more so. The nurses and doctors were so accommodating and PT was there almost immediately. You all made the fear of having a knee replacement evaporate! Thank you so much!

Greg L Hoekstra ER and staff were great. Nurses very attentive and competent. Doctor did a great job. We waited for 2-3 hours after a procedure until we finally got to go home at 3 am. Our nurse did a great job and was run ragged because the hospital beds were full and she had to take care of patients in the ER who should have been on the floor. The manager evidently did not feel it was necessary to call in help for the poor girl taking care of me. I guess HCA was trying to save some money. I will not be back.

Annie Martin We had our baby boy at gulf coast and had a wonderful experience. The nurses were very attentive and kind. The physicians were absolutely wonderful. Our mother/baby experience was also great! We were well pleased. Our mother baby nurse - Jen - was especially attentive and kind. She connected to me personally and made me feel seen as a person, not just another patient. Thanks for making my birthing experience great!

Andrea Gainey My son had surgery at this hospital yesterday, and from start to finish, the care he received was exceptional. From the first nursing tech (whose name I unfortunately didn’t get) to his dedicated nurses, Brittany Blue and Andrea, nurse anesthetist Carol Truluck, and surgeon Dr. Richard Wilson, every member of the team provided outstanding care. Their compassion, attentiveness, and comforting presence made all the difference. It was clear they truly love what they do, and the level of care we experienced was both rare and deeply appreciated.

Dee Cassidy Dr Patel, and Drs Welsh and their staff are wonderful. They have never refused to see my husband and me. They take care of all records of us so they know what is going on with our health at all times. We are in our seventies and need a doctor that we can rely on. They have a nurse named Missy that we are especially fond of. She knows her job!! We give them A+++ !! I would recommend them to everyone we know. We don’t live in Bay County anymore but we still travel to Panama City when we need to see a doctor.

Connie Gibbs Dr. Jigish Patel is the best primary care Dr. in Bay County. He is a very knowledgeable and caring physician. My husband, being retired military, has had several medical issues. Dr. Patel has been on top of all of them and keeps a close check on him and his checkups with his specialist.

michael lee Dr. Patel is a smart doctor. I went to school with his son who is also now a doctor. I would recommend making an appointment with them over the popular online doctors.

Tracie McVay 5-STAR REVIEW! Dr. Jigish Patel is the absolute best doctor Ive ever seen! His exceptional knowledge, compassion, and patient care are outstanding. What sets him apart? He genuinely cares!During my blood work, Dr. Patel stood beside me, ensuring I felt comfortable. I was more at ease with him beside me. Candis Welch, is also great if you want to see a female doctor. Im forever grateful for Dr. Patel and his team. The entire team shines! Highly recommended!Dr. Jigish Patel, Candis Welch, APRN, and Keith Welch, APRN: THANK YOU for exceptional healthcare and heartfelt care!

Sharmon Greco Thats not true if you look i havent asked in over a year cause all my 5 prescription from you expired last year and didnt ask for no more cause I told you that I was getting it from her but you didnt obviously hear that part when i did go to you guys they would ask if i needed refills on it and i said no but what ever My husband didnt know i was getting it from her that why I said I didnt need it whenever i was asked said something to you guys you should of just asked instead of just throwing me out or you could of just said can still see you but not prescribe it since I was getting it there especially when I never gave you a reason plus you guys got mad when I was told to get my fmla papers filled out which I knew you couldnt do i was just doing what the hospital told me than you got hostile about it after I told you i just needed something to say why you guys couldnt do it i told the hospital that in the first place but you guys thought that I wanted you guys to do something I knew you couldnt do but you use the medicine trip for a excuse what ever.if you review it you would of seen the last time I got it filled was last year and the ones I had on file expired plus the other medicine log from the other pharmacy show it all refilled once a month and didnt have any refills left cause I dropped that doctor

brittney smith I had a wonderful birth experience with Dr. J with my second child. I saw him frequently while at the hospital, and he was always kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable. His office staff was always friendly and were happy to find out any answers to questions I had when I called. If I were having any more children, he would be the dr I go too! Thanks again doc!

Kristin Welch Dr. Jackson is extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He genuinely seems to light up when he’s dealt with any of my pregnancies. I couldnt ask for a better OBGYN! I’d recommend him to anyone.

Stephanie Smith Dr. Jackson is sincerely THE BEST doctor and human being. Always attentive, always genuine, always professional. He provides the most thorough prenatal care. His office staff is very friendly and always makes you feel comfortable. Would recommend him 100 times over again!!

Tammy Richbourg Back in 2000 I was 35 experiencing hot flashes, night sweat having a rough time and I went to him as my gyno for help and he quickly told me I needed a psychiatrist! I moved out of the area and was continuing to suffer went to a specialist and was told I was perimenopausal. To my surprise I moved back to this area and saw he was still practicing! Unbelievable and after reading some reviews I see he hasn’t changed!

Cassy B Dr Jackson is a Very Courteous, Knowledgeable & Professional Doctor. He took the time to answer All questions and make me feel Comfortable. His Staff was Amazing & Very Kind. They worked me in the same day after a ER visit that No Other Office did. I knew of his legal troubles & Didnt Believe before & Definitely Not After. So if you Want the Best Ob/Gyn go to Dr Jackson. After 30 yrs & 4 children I know Great when I meet them.

Victor Lamm I started seeing Dr Mohamed late March of this year. I must say the care and understanding thru interactive dialogue make the difference for me. This has been the most successful life changing I have ever accomplished with his guidance and feedback.

Valeria Perez Doesn’t give right medications. Nice doctor and staff but focus on other things and wastes time. Very expensive and has to pay in cash. Have to wait 2 hours to attend you even after the appointment time. Talks on the phone during the session. Doesn’t listen to you and the session lasts like 5 min even after waiting two hours and him interrupting you to talk about other things or talk on the phone during session. Please don’t waste your time. It’s absurd to pay $100 if you don’t come. Doesn’t accept literally any type of insurance!! He is hungry just for MONEY. I told him the medications were not helping me and he didn’t listen to me. He just made the session about him.

Nicholas Karalus Had issues with scripts available. The dr took care of it himself. (At the front desk) I am busy salesmen and getting this type of attention is needed for my busy life style. Thank you Dr mohomid for taking the time with me today.

Ron Cochran I have been seeing Dr Mohamed for one year. He diagnosed my issue and gave me the correct medication. It is like putting on a new pair of glasses after needing them for a long time

Karen This lengthy review is long overdue but details matter so people can make an informed decision. I really tried to give this business the benefit of the doubt and Ive been extremely patient but thats over with now. This is by far the most unprofessional, unresponsive and questionable practice Ive ever dealt with. Ill preface by saying this office requires a $100 deposit in case youre a no-show or cancel within 48 hrs of a scheduled appointment. I saw Ahmed Mohamed for 3 months and stopped seeing him in October of last year due to him constantly over talking me and sharing his political, religious and cultural views that are demeaning to females. He would also say inappropriate things about womens bodies. As if all the above isnt bad enough, its been 10 months and I have yet to receive my $100 deposit back. This occurs a lot with this practice according to reviews. Additionally, he has yet to submit claims for 4 of my office visits from last year (10 mos. now) dating from July through Oct. and owes me money for overcharging me when all of my out-of-pocket max was already met for the year (meaning I pay nothing). Ahmed owes me $296 and I was told 7 months ago that my refund check would be ready in 2 weeks, come to find out, they had me in their system as a widow (Im not), had my ssn incorrect, as well as my insurance group # wrong for my insurance policy, so my claims would need to be resubmitted properly and then Id get a refund check from him. Ive now visited the office on 8 occasions and Ive called 10 times within 10 mos. to resolve things to no avail. The claims have not been resubmitted by him. My insurance advocate has called Ahmed Mohammed 8 times now and has successfully reached someone only 3 times. She has yet to receive a callback which is another issue his office has, answering phones and returning calls. He cant seem to keep office staff either. Hes had 4 different staff within the past 10 months now. Ahmed Mohammed is failing to effectively manage his practice in addition to unprofessional and unethical things taking place simultaneously. My insurance company called him again in February and finally got to speak with Ahmed Mohammeds wife who comes in every Friday and submits insurance claims for him. My insurance advocate explained to her that since she keeps failing to electronically submit my claims, to just mail in the claims. This was on Feb. 9th but the claims have yet to be mailed and its 3 months later. My insurance company has now escalated this issue. Ahmed Mohammed is currently under penalty due to not submitting insurance claims in a timely manner, so my insurance company is fining his practice. Also, when he does decide to submit the long overdue claims, they will be denied due to him not filing them in a timely manner and he will forfeit payment by the insurance company for submitting them out of the window of allotted time. So he will lose a lot of money due to his and his wifes negligence. Ive just filed a small claims court lawsuit, contacted the BBB (which hes been reported several times if you look him up) and Ive filed an official complaint with an additional consumer agency as well. Next, Ill be reporting him to the State Medical Board. I hope this review will prevent many others from being taken advantage of, especially disabled veterans, like myself. IF I RECEIVE MY REFUND CHECK BEFORE COURT, ILL DELETE THIS REVIEW.

Todd Gill I just want to thank you for saving my life. In 2013 i over dosed on pain meds and sleep meds. I was active duty Air Force at the time. The military ward was amazing the staff was all great. The food was really good. Thank you. Todd

Hollywood I just want to start by saying GREAT place. I recently completed a transformative six-week IOP therapy program at Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital with a wonderful therapist by the name of Zachary Kuster. Zachary Kuster is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had in my entire life and thats coming from someone who attended therapy since the age of 11, and who is now a mother of a high school senior. This guy definitely knows what he’s doing. I actually looked forward to therapy weekly as each session gave me the tools to manage my mental health in a practical and meaningful way. If you’re looking for some cookie cutter then Zach may not be for you. Along with this, the psychiatrist Claire Tiglao was absolutely amazing. She was engaging, honest, and very encouraging. Also, the front desk was attentative and always responded in a timely manner and was always pleasant.

galen kelly I was at the outpatient for TMS. I just want to say they really do know how to treat people. Some of these "mental" health facilities should look at Emerald Coast and maybe theyd learn about how to treat people. Denise G. Is GREAT . Im still a work in progress but if it had not been for Denise I wouldnt be here to this day. She was professional and understanding. But the main thing was she was friendly. That goes a long way for me because people have lost that trait but not Denise. Denise would answer any questions, and believe me she knows her trade. ALL other mental facilities should get their pad and paper out and take notes because most are at a" -10". Denise, Emerald coast in patient and out are definitely a "+10". Thank you Denise

Sydney Holton Admission lie about what is allowed to get you in the door and then , their policies are one sided and do not advocate always for the patients. Patient staff and activities are good , for is par not great not bad. Outside of admin staff no problems but admin staff need to be replaced. - Get it writing and understand what is allowed. Too many lies from intake to be a good place.

Brooke Miller I’ve been to plenty of therapists in the past & every-time felt like I was just a number in their textbook- no one took me serious. If you have ever considered giving up on getting the help you need and want, please go talk to them. Zach has a way of taking heavy *** **** & making it easier to carry- with lighthearted jokes, spot on analogies, and dedication to his patients. They have helped me with things I didn’t even know I needed help with (shoutout Dr. Chaney & Dr. Claire & everyone else). I’ve even made friends along the way! I cannot express how thankful I am for everything this program and the staff have done in my life 11/10 !

Kelsey Agosto I am genuinely satisfied with the care & treatment my son has received thus far. The front desk staff are all very nice & helpful. The back of the house ladies are even better. They are easy to get up with, schedule sick visits same day, & providers I have seen so far have been 10/10. Our favorite providers: Kenawy, Tabbaa, & Allison Davis

Jim Knutson The doctors and most nurses are nice. Unfortunately, when you call you will never get anyone on the phone. They don’t do walk ins which is fine but when you make an appointment plan on waiting a good bit past to be seen. They sent my child’s prescription to the wrong pharmacy and it took me going back to the office to find out where they sent it 24 hrs later.

Amber Taylor Unruh Our experience at Emerald Coast Pediatrics is always positive. However, Kendrianna made our visit even smoother & more pleasant. Kendrianna was so kind, patient, & willing to go above & beyond to help us. She deserves recognition for her excellent service.

Alex Golden The only problem is they don’t do walk-ins other than the after hours care while I’m still working, but the doctors are great just try to schedule an appointment in the middle of the day where it’s not as busy early in the morning or after school you’ll be waiting for a while.

Makayla Meredith I took my son there and they told me he had hand foot and mouth to just wait it out and he’ll be fine to just give him Tylenol and Motrin. 24 hours later his face was completely covered in scabs and his ear was stuck to his head from the gunk coming out. I took him to the emergency room and they said it was impetigo. A horrible case of it, they told me to call his doctor and they didn’t even answer. All emerald coast did was look at it and guessed. I will never take my son back there again. The nurse had to leave half way through and made a helper come in and finish. DONT TAKE PATIENTS IN IF YOU DONT HAVE THE TIME FOR THEM. My son will never go back there even if they were the last pediatricians on earth.✌️

Natasha Stamati I only have amazing things to say about this practice. I came in for a consult, and after being seen and examined they went over all possible treatment plans. They were very transparent about the whole process. I had some questions and Dr. Caspary answered them all, so I felt very confident in scheduling surgery with him. Dr. Caspary was very attentive during all follow up appointments, and generally made me very comfortable and confident in my choice. The office staff is also amazing! Check in was always smooth, and they always showed care and professionalism. They really make you feel like family!

Michael Lasley I went to this office yesterday for the first time, I called and made an appointment just the day before and they were able to see me the next day. The office was very nice and the lady at the front desk was very helpful I saw Kristen Brown who was super nice and listened very carefully and was able to treat me very fast although my condition was minor (heavy wax build up) she was able to clear the wax very quickly she also checked my throat and nose and prescribed medication for my mouth problems. Over all experience was great.

Katie Ricci Dr Tran is the best sinus surgeon in the area! Very personal and goes in depth with explanations and makes you feel very comfortable. His staff is great and will do everything they can to accommodate you

The Wave Called and explained I dont have enough money or insurance at the moment. I am completely deaf and in pain in my left ear . Gulf coast referred me to this place but also told me they wouldnt do anything without money or insurance. They were right. Cant believe what this world is coming to especially Im America. I just need some help and I cant get it anywhere. Your facility should be ashamed to turn down people that jus need help sometimes you literally get paid by the government. Hope I dont have to come back to this place for anything. Thanks for nothing again

Joe Orgiefsky Easy to make appointment. No wait to check in. Jennifer Chapman was friendly, professional and thorough.

David Petsuch This office appears to be closed. They do not answer their phones. $300 for a visit is criminal at best.

kathy tucker Dr A is a good caring dr . My husband and I both see him he is kind patient really listens to you . Always gets us feeling better . And Christa Brown is very good as well.

Don Jackson Dr Aboulela and his staff hands down are the best in Bay County. Ive been using him for years and have never had to wait in his lobby for more than 5 minutes after my appointment time. And once seen by a nurse who takes all the time necessary to triage you, he than comes in and is kind, compassionate, thorough and informative with a great bedside manner. He immediately e-scripts any RX to the pharmacy of your choice and does not wait until the end of the day to do this. And lastly if you need him for any reason between actual visits, he will quickly schedule a telehealth visit for you. Words cant describe how great he and his practice is.

Nancy Sastre WORST OFFICE IN PANAMA CITY My husband had a MRI and MRA of his brain, ordered my Aboulela. Got a call from his office that he needed to come in to go over the results, "could he come in this afternoon?" 4 times that day someone called for him to come in. Needless to say we were very worried as we dropped everything to run to his office. They collected his co-pay before we could see the doctor. Aboulela didnt know why we were there. Didnt remember he ordered the MRIs and then had a trainee read the results, out loud. Nothing wrong, just wanted to get payment. Very unprofessional office. Highly recommend you go somewhere, anywhere else.

Rachel Cromwell Worst office ever. Called in a week ago for a prescription refill and they said they were taking care of it. I called yesterday twice and they said again they were taking care of it. Called today and again they are taking care of it and then when I called a second time, oh we can’t fill your medicine because you aren’t taking it. A medicine I cannot stop abruptly, but they forced me to. So now I have to find another doctor that will listen to my needs and get me back on track. Denise is the one they tried having me talk to and she just kept saying we can’t refill your medicine. Do yourself a favor if you care about your health and want to be listened to go somewhere else. They run this office like a herd of cattle, push you through just to get their money and they don’t spend any time listening to their patients.

Steve Somerville First time at a VA clinic. Very clean, was received right at my appointment time. Staff was great. Doc was great too.

Jason Heise They straight up abandoned over 100 veterans by canceling a program that really benefitted people. Didnt even tell us. We were sitting on zoom every week for a month and they didnt even tell us it was canceled! Finally someone heard through the grapevine that this happened! They didnt even tell over 100 vets themselves! This clinic is absolutely worthless! There is no excuse what they have done. Hope they are freaking proud of themelves! Why did you erase your old reviews? Trying to "start again"? F all that! You cant harm over 100 veterans, not tell them and be like "lets just a new review page". This clinic straight up needs to be closed and I have alot of support on that. It is absolutely ridiculous!

Brad Doucette For a small VA clinic they do a very good job at what you need. The reception area answers all your questions. One person helped two people with ear aids while I was waiting. Walk-ins are welcome but try to get an appointment.

Steve Kim was very helpful helping me fill in the check in process. Angel to come out of her office to assist me. As I proceeded through the checking and preparing for my surgery everyone was knowledgeable and efficient. Always pleasant. Able to answer my questions. Kept my waiting family informed. I would give a rating 10 of 1 to 10. Would be happy to recommend Sacred Heart.

MaryJane Quesnel I went to ER because I needed assistance with shortness of breath and hypoxia. Showed up with a low sat, pulse ox for documentation. Assisted with care within minutes. Had a procedure done here last year, knew I was in the system. ER staff was excellent. Testing departments were respectful and supportive. Visited several. Large quiet room on 5N. As a retired RN appreciated the respect of nursing staff, med techs, lab techs. Loved the Hospitalist, took time and care addressing current, prior, and concerns for future. Still a ways to go to my perfect, thanks for the opportunity to share my bad day to a better day. Chef salad was delicious, my favorite meal.

Karen Tufte Excellent care! All staff members were friendly, compassionate and dedicated to their patients. My surgeon was totally awesome! Felt very comfortable with her. Not being from Florida, she made me feel very safe.

Nancy Hall I had what was expected to be routine out patient surgery with some small complications which landed me in the ICU for 2 nights. All of my nurses were phenomenal. Jackson & Peyton took exceptional care of me. They gentle, friendly, knowledgeable and caring. AddiLynn and Sandy were with me only a few hours before discharge but also excellent .

Nate Aholt I felt that there was a huge lack of communication between the surgical staff, nurse practitioner, doctors and nurses. One person would tell me one thing and the next person would tell me another. When requesting a nurses assistance, there were times I waited over an hour for a response. Once, I made my way out of bed to walk to the nurses station on my own only to find my nurse “video chatting” with her dog on her phone. It was definitely not the service/care I had expected from a “trauma unit” hospital.
