Dr. Narrasimmon was recommended to us by our neighbor whose husband is a physician so I feel she is a good choice for us. She seemed confident, pleasant, no nonsense, answered my questions. Only one problem for me is she brought an intern in with her. This seems to happen all the time lately at doctor offices, not only here but my friends up north too. I get that they have to learn but I really don't want an audience. Let them learn on someone else, please. Second visit I saw the PA and was very happy with her. Here last name is Rudolph I think - sorry if I got that wrong. Absolutely lovely woman and helped me, answered questions thoroughly. Really liked her.

My first visit to this office made me very happy because I thought I had found a caring doctor who…read morewould do more than enter the room, and then stand the entire time for a 4 exminute visit beginning with: Why did you come here? (and making it very clear that he or she had looked at nothing, or very little, on my chart to at least give the doctor an idea about Me and some of my health issues.) Dr. Ahmed seemed to see me as a person, and not just a 5 minute patient whose name was forgotten before exiting the room. Unfortunately, however, not much later came the problems with her staff, and also the staff at the facility. Most were rude, unprofessional, impolite, and seemed to think working as a medical "helper" made them much better than the patients, many of whom are well-respected, very educated, and hold important positions here in town. (Having nearly a Ph.D. degree and being a University instructor doesn't make me better than someone else.... but it also certainly makes me good enough to be treated professionally, and without being lied to by these young kids trying to cover their own mistakes and short-comings.) There were 2 of these persons who lied and tried to make me look like a fool........... and THAT was the end of my having any trust in this doctor because it seemed that she preferred to take the easy way and believe the lies of these kids without attempting to learn what had truly happened! AND from what I heard in the waiting room as many of us waited and waited, other patients were experiencing the same type of treatment with the staff and Dr. Ahmed. What a shame that this doctor is not paying attention to the number of patients never returning to her. Just because many different tourists come every year doesn't mean that one day this trade of 1 appt. per each vacationing tourist isn't going to run out. And when there are no longer any lines of tourists waiting, Dr. Ahmed is going to need those of us who are not snow birds! We local people who make Bradenton what it is might finally attain the importance we deserve. But by that time, we will have found the Doctors and Dentists who know how to treat all patients with the deserved respect and professionalism.... and we won't need these other medical names who still probably haven't learned that respect begets respect.

She had the most unusual combination of radical kindness & wisdom that seemed to permeate the space. Front desk: Mirella was polite, efficient & helpful w/ a modest sense of humor. Kelly the $ person was also efficient, direct communicator, & most helpful. They have a spa filled with ALL kinds of beauty enhancers/procedures & I'll check them out next time I'm inside. A southern belle came out to pitch in while front desk was busy & she works in the beauty area-not pushy- but available & a worthy advertisement. Thank you all. Barbara E.

I've been going to Optimum Clinic on Cortez Avenue for five years, under the care of Dr. Lloyd…read moreLeiva. He seems to be a good doctor, and takes time and care to answer questions. However, he is always in a bit of a rush. I get the feeling that he is churning excessively to take advantage of the insurance coverages from the federal government. He most likely knows how frequently he can have tests performed that are just within the limits of what insurance paybacks are allowed. That aside, my biggest gripe is the waiting time sitting in the little room waiting for the doctor to see me. My check-in is within minutes, but for nearly every visit for the last five years I have to wait an hour, on the average. I finally asked the doctor what the reason was that I had to wait so long for every visit, and told him my time is valuable too. His response was "we are not a factory." I said it didn't matter if I was the first or last patient of the day, I still had to wait an hour. I said I was considering leaving the clinic for that reason alone, and he simply wished me luck. He gave no indication he was willing to change. Reading between the lines, I believe it is his business policy to ensure that he never has downtime due to people missing appointments, and therefore his patients are paying for that price. The clinic itself is old, dingy and outdated. The clinic is in bad need of some updating to give patients a little more of a welcome atmosphere. Lastly, there seems to be a fair amount of turnover in the office, so the staff is a little bit on the green side. In summary, I left, and am sorry I wasted so much time at Optimum Health and Lloyd Leiva.
