Anthony Zientek Your checkout lady Yami is the sweetest, most energetic and nicest person I’ve met! When the doctor gave me crappy news, she brought my spirits up. Even when she collected $400 she still put a smile on my face! I had confusing paperwork from my insurance and needed help to submit my claim. She was so helpful. Didn’t bat an eye when I asked for her assistance. Good people are hard to find. I hope she gets recognize because she deserves it! Thanks Yami!

Bob Bynum I am experiencing mixed emotions while writing this review. I don’t want to sound mean or vindictive with my comments but I’m at the point where something needs to be done. I was admitted as a possible stroke victim. After spending 9 hours in the ER without much information on my situation. I grew restless and disturbed that none was forthcoming. The Hospital staff were all very professional. Doctors, nurses, techs, transportation, food service and housekeeping. Still, something was missing. When I finally got to my room things were better. The staff continued to be most professional. My only complaint at this point is it was now 10 PM and I had not been offered anything to eat or drink. I did ask for and received a cold glass of water. The next day I started having tests conducted. It wasn’t till after several tests, hours and lunch that I met two of my Doctors who discussed with me my situation and a plan of sorts. I was then told I might (would ) need to spend another night in the facility. These Doctors totally Impressed me. I was clear from the conversation they had both totally studied my chart. Their questions were directed at a better under standing of MY situation. Later on I met the Neurologist who was working my case and she too was throughly involved and knowledgeable. It was like they had been studying me all my life. I closed night two out at 9 or 10 o’clock with a late test. Went back to my room and tried to sleep. Day three began With optimism of gettin out. At about 11 am a doctor stopped by. He advised me that one of my tests done yesterday was not yet “read”. At about 1 PM I called the desk and asked to speak or relay a message to DR Vina. The desk told me that was impossible. I asked for an update on my plan from my DR. I was told he was off today. I had to drag the information out of the person that he had be replaced today by Dr Pino. I indicated to the desk person that I needed some information on my situation and I felt I like I was being held without information. She told me that I was free to go and they held no one “ hostage. “ This disturbed me and I disputed her claim. And then, right at the Pinnacle of my anger my Neurologist and her Resident entered the room. They briefed me on the situation and informed me on what was still lacking. I discussed with them MY problem. And my problem as a patient is the screwed up system of information between patient and doctor and the currency of the situation. Also, the crazy way questions are answered by the Red button responders at the nursing station. To be told that I was not being held hostage is not the right choice of words to tell the patient or CUSTOMER. YOU GUYS GET FIVE STARS IN PATIENT CARE BUT A MINUS ZERO IN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE CUSTOMER (patient). Really, this hospital needs help keeping people informed during the transit of the health care system.

Patty Polster My therapist, Laura, was very good. She helped me with things that I could do at home after my therapy was over and it was everything that I could do with things I had here at the house. Not. I didnt have to go by anything. She also gave me some stretchy bands after my last appointment to make it easier for me to do a couple of the exercises. Period the office was extremely helpful to me to accommodate my schedule.And sometimes I had to make a change in appointments.And they worked with me to make that happen.So I appreciated everything that they did for me.Thanks for the opportunity to give them a big a plus by

Kat No wait, came in and ended up having kidney infection, I was diagnosed, treated, and out the door in 3 hours. The charge nurse was rude but my main nurse Aimee and doctor Dunavant were incredible. Super kind and attentive. Quiet ER, not busy, labs came back fast. Thank you guys so much. I would recommend this free standing emergency room for sure.

Becky Palmer Although my primary doctor has changed a few times , I’ve been w/ this same medical group for a very long time. The staff that I have dealt w/ all these years continues to LISTEN w/ compassion, provides excellent referrals when needed. And I receive timely responses when I ask a question through the patient portal. Even though they moved their offices further away from my home, I did not hesitate to stay w/ this group.

Jill Capobianco I recently had the experience of taking my toddler to the childrens hospital for a necessary surgery, and I cannot say enough good things about the incredible staff we encountered. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and kindness that immediately put both my son and me at ease. Every member of the team, from the receptionists to the surgeon, demonstrated exceptional compassion and professionalism. They took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, ensuring that I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. Its clear that they genuinely care about their patients and their families, which made a huge difference in this stressful situation. They made my toddler feel comfortable and safe, using gentle language, engaging him with, and taking time to answer his curious little questions. Their dedication to providing a child-friendly environment was evident and greatly appreciated. The surgery itself went smoothly and was completed much faster than I had anticipated. I was so relieved to hear everything went perfectly! After the procedure, the staff was thorough in explaining the aftercare process, addressing all my concerns about what to expect in the days and weeks ahead. Their comprehensive guidance made it much easier to navigate the recovery period. Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my son received at the childrens hospital. The kindness, thoroughness, and expertise of the entire staff made a challenging experience much more manageable, and I felt truly supported throughout the entire journey and with each visit.

Steve Hamro III When I first moved to Naples over a decade ago I would visit this clinic when I had any health issues. Over the years Dr. Medina has probably been one of the most competent and nicest doctors I have used. I am sorry some reviews are upset with parking, insurance issues, waiting, other staff, etc but as far as the physician goes, I dont think it gets much better than Dr. Medina.

Charnelle Ruiz Love the team at the Vava Clinic! From the office to the clinical staff, they are kind and easy to work with. Dr.Lisa Shapiro is engaged, knowledgeable, and down to earth. Secretly, I don’t want to share how much we love Dr.Shapiro and her team for fear that she will be difficult to make appointments with.
