I have been looking for a doctor who I would feel comfortable with, Dr Bambi was the first doctor to spend time with me, asked me questions and cares about my health. I felt at ease with her and I liked I that I could understand what she was saying to me.Thank you for everything, on my way to getting back to health.

I have to say that I am a little puzzled about my Dr visits. There's no personal talk time. Even if a question is asked the answer seems rushed. On to the next step on the computer. I'm not used to that kind of doctoring. I think Dr Petrinic is very precise and does go over the results of tests, but its all done while looking on the computer. It must be my age. I had a doctor who knew my family and asked how I was feeling and about my family - a 5 min talk before the Dr. began on the medial stuff.
I would reccommend Dr. Petrinic because I see she is very well informed and wants to keep me healthy by getting all the tests done when results come in that are not normal. I respect that a lot. But there just isn't any personal time. I'm not sure why my visits are like that. Perhaps its the time allotted or the new systems in place. I do want this to be a positive review. Dr. P had all the credentials when I was looking for a new doctor having moved into this area recently. I will add that the two office personnel are very friendly and pleasant. They take a few minutes to talk with me. By the way the wait time in the office was about 15 minutes but Dr. P apologized for being late. I can fully understand that and told her so.

She was very blunt. When I asked for a RX for Chantix to stop smoking she said to see a psychiatist. Also did not want to give me my anti anxiety medication. Also said to see a psychiatrist. Did not want me to have refills on my depression medication. I felt she wanted me just to come back to make more money. Also would not fill my RX for cholesteral medication. I went there due to pain due to a fall on my hip I told her I already had a MRI she instisted on an xray which I know the insurance would not pay. I would never return to that office. Everyone in the waiting room was complaining about the practice and how unprofessional they were. She wanted me to see Dr Chinn Linn who is the main Dr. There and I refused I had seen her before and she is very rude. She would yell at her staff in front of patients with no professionalism. I will never go back period. She stinks.

I never thought that I would ever feel the need to scream on a mountain top that 'I LOVE MY PCP'.....However, today, Dr. Petrinic's office visit made me feel that way! Facility was gorgeous, staff was sweet, and Dr. Petrinic put the icing on the cake with the cherry on top! Thank-you, you made my doctor's visit not feel like a doctor's visit.
January 20, 2016Dawn C.Verified patient
Dr. Petrinic seemed very nice and thorough as she took note of each medication and malady that I have. She was getting to know my health issues and immediately began scheduling some tests and bloodwork as well as requesting records from all my previous medical providers. Her records are kept digitally, which is a plus. The office has a friendly atmosphere.
January 26, 2016Sandra M.Verified patient
She is very patient with me and very pleasant.She cares very much about my welfare since i am not the most pleasing to get along with.
January 19, 2016Joseph T.Verified patient
She seems to rush you and only wants you adress 1 concern a visits then wants you to make another appt adress another concern when the doctor is suppose to listen to their patients concern if its more than 1 and not have to come back a million times to have issues solved it seem she after insurance money

Dr, Petrinic is very informative. She takes the time to answer your questions ande is willing to work along with your problems. I feel very comfortable in her presence. What more can I say,
November 22, 2015Charlotte P.Verified patient
Takes her time with you and really listens. She writes down EVERYTHING. I loved how genuinely concerned she was about determining the proper treatment. Very easy to talk to and agreed with all that she said. The staff is nice too. I left there feeling very well taken care of.
More than 1 year agoChristine D.Verified patient
The doctor was positive, a little hyper and energetic (good). On the subject of insomnia, I can't believe medical doctors are still preaching warm milk and tryptophan and deep-breathing exercises 15 years into the 21st century.
I also don't like this group's announced policy of not prescribing anti-anxiety, sleep, or pain medication (referrals needed to specialists). Seems this has been done to reduce the practice's liability. Chronic sleep and pain problems are very common. Other GP practices do not set this restriction.
November 14, 2015Joseph D.Verified patient
She was so nice, listened to me and everyone of my issues and didn't want to jump to conclusions before prescribing new meds. I feel very safe with her.
December 6, 2015Pam M.Verified patient

I think she is by far the best Dr. I have seen since I moved to Fl. last year.She is very professional and still makes you feel extremely comfortable.
November 11, 2015Gail B.Verified patient
Dr Petrinic was on time with my visit even though I was a last minute patient. She came in and was very concerned about my condition and how I was feeling...explained what to expect with my condition and what she could do to treat it.
Also this office does provide transportation to and from the Dr's office if needed.

She's a great MD I like her to be my DOCTOR
October 23, 2015Samuel P.Verified patient
Felt like taking up Dr's personal time. Didn't get answers on questions important to me. I guess we're not even considering incorporating wholistic approach, instead sticking with a medical model where patients are just charts.
September 18, 2015Alexander B.Verified patient
Always a pleasure to visit Dr. Petrinic and her staff. She's very thorough, and takes her time to address any concerns I have.
The office is new, very clean, and well set-up with the latest technology. Even the exam rooms have cable TV's and a wellness I-pad that has videos of health issues you can choose to watch. I like that they have a lab room there to draw blood and samples instead of having to send you to a crazy place like quest labs.(Last time I went to one, I waited almost 2 hours for a test that took 30 secs)
The staff is always so helpful. I usually get my referrals and prescriptions called in before I even leave the office. This is all a huge plus. I left the primary I had before because I could not get the staff to do things in a timely manner (weeks sometimes, then wrong) or even return a call. I looked hard to find a doctor without bad reviews as I didn't want more of the same.
The office is a bit far from where I live, but so worth the drive. Also I never had to wait more than a week to get in when I need to. Most times with-in a couple days. I think if I had to get in right away they would try to make it happen. Also it's nice I can park about 10 feet from the front door since walking is painful.

I asked for help to see psychiatrist ASAP!!! My MEDS don't work!!!!
I am in a very dark place
Was brushed off to find Dr myself and call back for referral.

August 3, 2015Pearl G.Verified patient
It has been quite a while since I had a physician actually sit with me and actually talk to me about my concerns face to face. Dr. P is an incredible human being and physician. She actually listened, she made me think. She motivated me to fix the things that need fixing and go shopping for those special things I will be needed to continue fixing my issues. I highly recommend her as a physician that cares. As a coder and biller, I work closely with physicians. Dr. P. is one of the rare physicians I can really attest that loves what she does. She is right there with some of my clients that delivers "excellent care". I will stay with this practice for a very long time. In fact, come Monday, I will be making an appointment for my husband and two children!

Always very thorough and not in a hurry. Great communication with staff. They seem to be using technology in a great way. Beautiful new office. I like that they can draw blood, instead of sending you to a busy lab. I just hope they keep taking my insurance so I can keep Dr. Petrinic as my primary. Highly recommend.

March 27, 2015Stephanie P.Verified patient
I got there about 35 minutes before my appointment and I had to wait over an hour. The nurse and women in the front were great however I did not care for Dr. Petrinic at all. She rushed me through because they were running late and rude. She does not have good bedside manner. Maybe she had a bad day but this was my first time at that office and I am not sure if I will be back for the follow-up.

She's amazing. So friendly, so welcoming. I was so happy I chose her as my primary doctor. Can't believe I'm saying this.... But I can't wait to see her again!

It was alright.
I wish we found a better solution but other than that. She was personable and tried to be as relatable as possible.
