My mother who lives in Venice, FL. (82 years old) is staying with me in New Jersey. Within the…read morepast year and a half she has had a stroke, broke her rotary cuff, had back surgery, has had corona, has Pulmonary Fibrosis, COPD and was diagnosed with Pneumonia Two times. To say this has been a trying year is an understatement. She was recently released from the hospital for pneumonia and we brought her to stay with us in New Jersey to hopefully get her moved back up here (stubborn). While she has been up here she started coughing up brown flem. So we called her Doctor to see if they could prescribe something to help ease the cough. When we called we spoke to the receptionist who told us it was after hours (even though it was 4:30 and they close at 5:00) and that they would have to call the after hours doctor and see if he could prescribe medicine. About a half an hour later Dr. Phifer calls he did not say who he was on the phone (phone was on speaker). And when my mom asked him a couple of times he was very very rude (he said yeah what do you want, (among other non-professional words) and said you called me. I got on the phone and told him he was on speaker and that she is very sickly and that was no way to speak to her. From my little experience i had with him he was rude, could care a less about her and just wanted to get off the phone. I think we were interrupting his 4th of July weekend. Never in my 53 years have i heard a doctor be so rude to a patient. If i didn't hear it for myself i would not have believed it. If he spoke that way to my very sick mother how does he treat other patients who do not have the strength or understanding of how to even write a comment.

She gives you her undivided attention during each visit and is a brilliant physician surpassing any other primary care physician with whom I've worked or trained beside.

Dr. Wagner is likewise excellent at staying up with the cutting edge of medical science to maintain our health with the best knowledge available. I have never been more impressed with one of my colleagues and am thrilled to have her as my own personal doctor for the last almost two decades. If you can have a doctor like her you are truly fortunate. Disclosure: Dr. Wagner did not ask me to write this or suggest that I do so. I pay the same price as everyone else to see her. I am simply that amazed by her care.

I have been seeing Dr. Yeater for about a year and a half. He is by far the most compassionate and…read moreknowledgable family medicine doctors I've been to. You never feel rushed, he answers your questions as throughly as he can, and always makes sure follow ups are ordered and that you feel comfortable when you leave. He will definitely be a doctor I follow if he ever leaves and stays in the area. All of the nurses I've dealt with at the Bradenton clinic have all been very kind and friendly as well. I've noticed a few people get upset with wait times, but I've never understood why. Sometimes great care takes a bit longer than they schedule. At least you know patients are very well taken care of here. I've been to lots of different VAs and in my opinion, this is by far one of the best ran clinics.

Would highly recommend Dr. Yeater for health care.

She believes in preventative care and is extremely professional. Her offices are clean and well run, she truly cares about her patients, and she is easy to talk to. Since money was always an issue for me, she went out of her way to give me samples or discount coupons on my prescription medications, when they were available. She also made sure to discuss every aspect of life with me that would affect my health; such as diet, stress, excercise, family history, and overall well being. She has also given me excellent referrals and worked with my insurance companies to make sure that my preventative care is covered. Sometimes her office staff and nurses can be pushy or rude, since she is in a shared office complex with other doctors.

Hands down, I discovered that Dr. Okuhara excels beyond my several decades of experience in going to doctors. If the criteria include: 1) Professional competence; 2) Time with patient; 3) Diagnostic ability (especially outstanding); 4) Availability; 5) Excellent referrals to top-notch specialists (best experiences with her referrals every time); and 6)) Compassionate billing practices and office procedures, Dr. Okuhara gets 6 stars. cb

I learned valuable medical information from his care; his referrals were excellent. However, his nurse Megan was a problem from almost day one. The first time, he apologized for her.

I was a patient of his for 2 years. For $6,000 a year, you can do much, much better. Be very wary of him. And his "practice".

On March 7, 2026, I experienced vomiting, severe chest pain, and urinary issues characterized by a strong ammonia odor. A neighbor transported me to a hospital in a neighboring county. It was subsequently diagnosed that I had been suffering from a severe urinary tract infection for approximately one month. The sole positive aspect of Dr. Walsh is his willingness to prescribe controlled substances when necessary for pain and anxiety. I decided to terminate my association with him as my healthcare provider and am grateful that I discontinued the controlled medication he had prescribed for several months. I regard him as an incompetent, uncaring physician. No thank you.
