Volusia OB/GYN - Port Orange (FL)

debora Crane Dr Bianchi has taken care of me for the last 5 years since my breast cancer. He is an amazing surgeon!!!! Very caring and thorough he is still seeing me even though it has been 5 years that I have been clear of cancer!!!

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!!!!!

Carra M. (Sculptr) Kind, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. I cant imagine going to anyone else but Dr. Arab. The staff is great and treats patients with respect. I highly recommend both Dr. Arab and his staff.

Steve Keller I’m alive today because of of Dr. Quadrat’s knowledge and skill. He is always friendly and supportive and his staff if efficient and helpful. Dr. Quadrat is a good communicator who spends time with patients. It is obvious that he cares about his patients. I had to move out of the Daytona area to Jacksonville and continued to travel to Daytona to see him because of his excellent care. I recently moved to Virginia to be near family, and one consideration in my difficult decision to move farther away was no longer being able to be his patient. I hope I can find a cardiologist half as good as Dr. Quadrat here in Virginia.

Nathan Mamula On Friday, 3/7/25 around 11PM, we took our 10-month-old kitten, Coconut, to the ER due to frequent and small urination with blood. We called ahead to check the wait-time, to minimize his stress, and were advised to bring him in immediately. They informed us that all animals would be physically examined upon arrival, & depending on the severity of the ailment, would be placed in queue accordingly. True to their word, upon arrival, they immediately checked for urinary blockages (potentially very dangerous/life threatening) but informed us that there wasn’t one, thankfully! The front staff, especially Rhianna, was incredibly kind, eased our nerves, and offered us a private room with WiFi and streaming TV, as we waited for the doctor. She was very knowledgeable and checked on us often as we waited around 3 hours to see the doctor. The vet tech, Michael, provided excellent care, keeping us informed throughout our wait, as well, and elaborated on the doctor’s directives. Both Michael and Rihanna were very helpful in answering any questions we had. Due to a software glitch and Coconut’s eventual “spiciness” (on brand), they were unable to complete a urinalysis, and removed the charge from our bill. Based on a physical exam, Dr. Z’s diagnosis was likely Stress Cystitis, potentially due to recent stressors that included neutering, trips to/from clinics, & the high volume/chaos of bike week. Because there didn’t appear to be any urinary blockages, she recommended we take him back home to continue monitoring him where he’s comfortable. She also prescribed two different pain meds to relieve his discomfort and to help relax his urethra — which appear to have worked, as he’s now urinating normally and enjoying his medication-enhanced cartoons. VECEV operates on a triage basis, so wait times vary, but our visit took about three hours. The bill was reasonable, covering the after-hours exam and meds. While we hope to never need them again, we’d return in an emergency. Huge thanks to VECEV for their compassionate care of Coconut!

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.

Karen S. Strickland I LOVE THE STAFF, THE NURSES, AND THIS DOCTOR IS THE BEST! HE ADDRESSES EVERY ISSUE I BRING UP, IS VERY THOROUGH, PROFESSIONAL, AND HAS A GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER! BEST DECISION I EVER MADE CHANGING DRS. I was recently in the hospital overnight, and I was visited by one of the staff members to check on me. I was amazed by the fact that anyone showed up and how quickly she came to see if I needed anything at all. No other Drs office ever did that in the past I love my Island doctor

Shelbi Goodwin I was seen by APRN Brittany this morning. It had been about 5years since my last GYN appt, so I had a lot of questions and options about my contraceptive future. She was very knowledgeable and took the time to show me how much she cares by going over every question and option thoroughly. She was very respectful, and I felt that I could trust her. I also genuinely liked her as a person, which is so refreshing! I went ahead and made my next check up a year in advance with her, as well as moving forward with treatment. I had no issues with any of the staff, check in was quick and efficient. Wait was maybe 6-8minutes. The nurse who took me from the lobby was sweet and engaged in conversation with me as well.

Marcelo Alves Dr Domingues is incredibly empathetic and has really enhanced my quality of life. I had really bad lupus and recurrent rashes but he was able to find a regimen that helps significantly.
