Halifax Health - Primary Care Daytona Beach - Daytona Beach (FL)

Paul LaFiosca Excellent care from an Excellent Dr. and just as Excellent staff. Dr.James Brown has been my primary Dr. for more years than I can recall, 20+years? He, and his staff, are the very best that I’ve ever experienced & I am Old. Dr. Brown is exceptionally smart and easy to talk to, I’ve never been rushed through my appointment and he always, with his fantastic staff, make sure that I am well taken care of. They all, as a team, make sure my scripts are filled, referrals taken care of, etc. Dr.Brown & Staff are the reason I drive over 35 miles each way for my appointments. I wouldn’t be doing that if I had any negative experiences. The BEST Dr. and BEST Staff anywhere, I am surely grateful to cared for by them, 100%!!! ~~~~~ I posted the above a while ago, not sure of the exact date. I just saw Dr.Brown Friday 3/14/2025 and my thoughts are still the same, what I wrote previously is what I would write about my most recent visit to Dr.Brown & his staff. They are all excellent! I spent about 45 minutes with Dr. Brown as he went over every lab result where, I think, some Dr.s might try to save time by just saying ‘got your lab results, they’re fine’ and that would be that. Dr.Brown doesn’t rush you, explains everything, asks if I have anything new that needs his attention. He is, in my many many years of seeing many Dr.s in my lifetime, he is still the absolute best, without a doubt. The same with the staff, all of them from front office to nurses & etc., are all very nice, know what they are doing, set up future appointments ——- they are all excellent healthcare people. Dr. Brown & his staff just can’t be beat, there are none better!!!!!

Sarah Mcclure I have been a patient of Dr. Meyers and Stacey McKinnon since 2013 and have had nothing but top notch treatment from both of them. Dr. Meyers delivered 2 of my babies and all went smoothly. They always address any questions and concerns with a response that is easy to understand. Dr. Meyers and Stacey both listen and make all options very clear. I drive over an hour one way just to be a patient in this practice. The office is always clean and well maintained.

Christoper Y Dr Sanjay Sastry is absolutely amazing! I’ve had great results from him & his entire caring team. I’m very blessed that my attorney recommended him & I was shocked to see how through other hospitals hadn’t seen my problems with my back but within 15 minutes of looking at the films he was able to pinpoint the location of the majority of my pain (which was difficult for me to do because It felt like it hurt from mid to lower back). I walked out of his office feeling much better & I’d highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with their back. He’s really amazing & has a great way of explaining your individual injury. Kudos Dr Sastry! Thanks for everything so far!

Gen M. Dr Vignali is very kind and considerate, he cared for me throughout my pregnancy and always made me feel comfortable. The front desk staff is super kind and accommodating and all made my labor and postpartum an enjoyable experience.

christina kodis The receptionist I spoke with today Melissa (Daytona Fl office #) went way out of her way to help me. I called very clueless and confused and just said that I needed to see a dr but I didn’t know who or what drs took my hmo. She took time out of her day to search all local advent family practices for a dr that took my insurance and had an opening for a new patient. I had not had any luck on my own and would of had to wait 5 months to see the dr closest to my home. I am very grateful for her help and the kindness she showed to meand how fast she was able to get me an appointment. She Even took the time to give me directions to the office. Ty again for making me feel so comfortable and welcome it made my day so much easier.

L. Kline Dr. Patrick Han performed surgery on me for a rare cavernous carotid fistula. He is a gifted surgeon with a calm, caring, compassionate demeanor that made me feel comfortable and knowledgeable about my condition. He took the time to answer all my questions and talk to me at length about the surgery and possible outcomes. All of my symptoms are gone since Dr. Han did my surgery- a total success! Thank you Dr. Han! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing surgery in his areas of expertise.

Kimberly Camargo Dr DaSilva was outstanding! Had my first pregnancy checkup at 8 weeks, she was very thorough, explained everything so well, was so smooth and made me feel so comfortable! Definitely recommend her!

Matthew Schwarmann This review is for the Labor & Delivery section of the hospital.  If you just want the quick summary it’s 100% Have your baby here, the staff was beyond incredible! 1. Aletha our night nurse might be the most incredible human being on the planet.  We had a really long delivery; 39 hour induction including over 25 hours of active labor.  As you can imagine my poor wife was exhausted.  I know Aletha had to have other patients as well, but somehow it always felt like she was there every single second we needed anything.  Even more amazing on the 2nd night Aletha’s 12 hour shift was supposed to end at 7 am while we were about 36 hours in.  I’m still not sure exactly how Aletha knew but she just seemed to know my wife and I were hoping she would be able to stay, and sure enough Aletha worked 15 hours straight to stay with us through the birth of our son.  That extra 3 hours meant my wife got to be that much more comfortable having this amazing person helping to deliver our son, and we will be forever grateful we had this phenomenal nurse to help us through. 2. Sarah (our day nurse)-  Have you ever met someone where it’s simply impossible to talk to them without smiling and feeling happy?  Sarah is this exact person.  Picture just a ball of good energy.  Whether it was a joke, a story, a smile or just anything to make my wife feel better Sarah was perfect for it.  All while handling all her patients and duties.  Exactly what you need when going through labor.  People like here are one more reason to choose Halifax. 3. Kaylee- Another day nurse we had the pleasure of having.  Kaylee managed to combine a no nonsense attitude get the job done while making it clear she genuinely cared about us.  Her leadership was very calming and you just knew instantly you are in good hands when she’s around.  She answered so many questions from us and again made us feel comfortable in a stressful time. 4. Kendal- Kendal was a nurse from another department moving over to labor and delivery.  She has 3 kids of her own and multiple times she was able to give advice, answer a question, reassure us about difficulties etc etc.  She was kind and friendly and someday there will be another new mom who gets reassured by Nurse Kendal Moving to our general experience.  Right of the bat Halifax is the only Level 3 NICU in the area.  They also offer tours on Tuesday afternoons before you deliver just so you can see everywhere you will be going, fill out paperwork ahead of time and just be a little more comfortable.  Another thing we appreciated after we got admitted they let us know they had training nurses (as all hospitals do) who may want to watch the delivery but that our comfort was paramount and if we didn’t want any extra people in the room none of them had to come.  We wanted to at least try and help a little and agreed to having one training nurse observe who wound up being a lovely girl named Trinity.  She was really sweet, eager to learn and be helpful.  I imagine training under these amazing Halifax nurses Trinity will someday make another set of parents have a great delivery experience.  One more just perfect example of how much these Halifax nurses care.  As mentioned our labor was quite extended and my wife had been stuck at 4cm for hours.  Every other person who had come in around the same time as us had already had their babies.  Aletha came in to give my wife another check and when she came up smiling we knew we had finally progressed.  Aletha entered in we were 9cm (baby almost ready to come) in the computer and about 5 seconds later we heard the entire floor of nurses cheer.  Turns out they had all been checking on us on their external monitors for hours rooting for us.  It felt fantastic to literally be able to hear people caring that much. In summary I understand there might be a newer or prettier hospital somewhere, but I am beyond certain you will not find a safer, more comforting experience for delivery with people who genuinely care about you than Halifax Health Labor Delivery.
