Best 15 MD and Hospital near Inverness, FL (Part 4)

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!

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!

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!

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.

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 !

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
