Great doctor
September 11, 2024Daniel U.Verified patient
This is the third time my appointments were cancelled. this time without my knowledge. I only found out when I tried to electronically sign in. However, I know it was on the books two days earlier when I had to call to sort out why my lab script was missing. There is a four month wait before I can get another appointment with the DR. This was the same time frame the last two times my appointments were cancelled. On a minor issue my name has become misspelled in their system since my last visit. In my opinion Baycare is a goliath medical monopoly here in Florida. I will do my best to avoid Baycare Dr.'s from now on.

November 21, 2019Jennifer D.Verified patient
Young but very smart. Spent considerable amount of time with me as a new patient. I expressed concern about one of my meds and she suggested a less addictive milder med. Very receptive to my concerns. I am 65 but didn't feel like an old man talking to her. I have found my new doctor! And I am comfortable with her.
