Melissa Dollar We love Dr Samantha Jackson! She is the absolute best, she is kind, patient, informative and funny! Her staff is amazing! Rose at the front desk is so sweet and helpful. Ive watched her help so many people with things most would lose patients with. Highly recommend

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!

CCC New Patients Dr. Mane is the best, so personable, knowledgeable, and down right awesome. Gregory and Cheryl are Dr. Manes ARNPs and I cant commend them enough for all they do and the way they treat you like family. This group of medical professional is the best Ive ever been privileged to be treated by.

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.

Michael Scott I want to say THANK YOU to all at this facility. I came into ER with chest pain was treated with the utmost respect and professionalism from all in the staff. I had a five day stay here and from the lady cleaning the bathroom to the ones doing the surgery I give a huge recommendation. All the staff I had interactions with were very professional, friendly, very caring and compassionate. I felt very comfortable being in their hands for my health care. I would highly recommend this hospital for my loved ones who may be in need of their services..

Pamela Kocoras Doug APRN, has gone above and beyond in the brotherss care. My brother is bed bound and is mentally challenged. Doug has called me after he recognized my brothers blood was unusual abnormal. Doug has left his availability open when it comes to my brothers care. I got my brother in the car and Doug did His appointment via my brothers passenger car window. We are grateful for the level of care we are receiving at West Florida medical associates. Thank you very much

Sarah Robinson Beard Ive had lovely patient care from Inverness Family Care. Ive had visits with both my PCP, Dr. Connor, and her medical assistants. During my in-person visits, I always feel heard. The front office team, including Brittney, is warm and friendly with me whenever I call or am on-site. Whenever I have had prescription requests, outside orders, or referrals, Christina sometimes calls me the same day or the next business day. Ive had excellent communication with all the staff Ive encountered, including the billing team, with a question or two. With such a busy practice, I appreciate the time and care I have received from everyone there. Thank you!

Laura Manos Dr. E is extremely thorough.

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.
