By far the best doctor I've been to in my life. She listened to all of my concerns, asked further…read morequestions, and took me seriously (which is hard to find for someone as young as me). The staff and doctor were both very professional and helpful, they made me feel important and that my health matters to them. I had little to no wait time, and the new patient paperwork took me just a couple minutes to complete--they got me back right away. To top it off, they're LGBT friendly which means the world to me. Kimberly was thorough with her exam and made sure she didn't miss anything. I will definitely be going back to them, they are amazing!

BEWARE- This doctor fired me over her religious reasons. My former Rhumatologist of 7 years moved…read moreaway, and I had to re-establish with a new doctor. Dr. Mazhar was on my Florida Blue Plan, and the closest dr to me, so I went before checking reviews. The office is large, friendly staff. She has no bedside manner at all (which I don't mind if they are good doctors). After a few minutes, and some deeply personal questions and answers, she said, "Ok, this isn't going to work. Do not schedule another appointment with me, AND I will be sure to bill you for my time". Dumbfounded, I asked receptionist to speak with a manager. Maria took me in a private room and interviewed me while taking notes. 3 months later, I get a bill totaling $361.00. It took me multiple calls with Florida Blue, and "Internal Medicine Associates" to get the bill reconciled. Also, I still needed a Rhumatologist. This time I checked reviews, first. All of the doctors for IMA have 1 star reviews. Buyer beware!!!

Do yourself a favor and read this review if you're considering this quack. And read all the other…read morenegative reviews you find online: they're all true. This is where it all began for me. Two years ago a clicking manifested in my left wrist. I thought it might be carpal tunnel, and everyone told me to ignore it. Six months later the clicking jumped to my right hand, then moved up my arms. This is where it was when I decided to seek the opinion of a rheumatologist. I had the misfortune of choosing Dr Mazhar. First, she barely speaks English. I'm sure she can read and write it just fine, but she's obviously shy or asocial and hasn't had much practice speaking it with people. I knew then that this would pose an obstacle to accurate diagnosis, but I was desperate and knew nothing about doctors or the system. Second, she has no people skills. Very aloof and quiet. As for my visit, she ordered the first of what would be many blood labs. (By the way, I chatted with the friendly American secretary on my way out, and she told me not to worry, because Dr Mazhar "likes to solve puzzles." LOL.) So my labs came back and two things were abnormal: Antistreptolysin titer and C-Reactive Protein. At this point a competent rheumatologist would have sat up straight and said, Ok, you have an infection and it's becoming rheumatic; let me figure out what we can give you to arrest this process. Did Mazhar do this? Nope. She didn't even look interested. She made a note that it "could be" reactive arthritis, as I had guessed from day one. But nothing was done. Even with an ASO titer of 512 (200% over the 200 mark!), I was sent away to wait another month for a follow-up while my symptoms worsened. And on the day of the follow-up, more dumb stares and another round of bloodwork. ASO falling, but still elevated. Nothing ventured. I informed the secretary I'd be looking for another doctor. I should add that on this second visit, I saw one older woman walk out in frustration, declaring that she "doesn't even listen to what I am saying." I asked the secretary if this is common; she said yes. It's now 2015 and the problem has taken over my body. My hips grind, my knees are giving out, every joint pops or grinds, and my life is ruined. I'm not irrational and don't think Mazhar did this to me; but she was there at the beginning, had the smoking gun staring her in the face, and she did nothing. She is slow, asocial, and doesn't speak my language. She does not care at all what happens to me, and it appears her other patients. She directly contributed to the ruin of my life - I am in my thirties - by her passivity, lack of professional bearing, and plain stupidity. I am being unrestrained in my opinion because she absolutely deserves it. Let me be completely clear about this: SHE. SHOULD. NOT. BE. IN. CHARGE. OF. DIAGNOSING. OR. TREATING. PATIENTS.

I usually would go to Sarasota Memorial, Downtown, which I do for breast exams, etc. and rate them highly. I will not come back to SMH at University Parkway for a MRI. The person providing the MRI said he was at the end of his 7 hour shift. He was not dressed neatly in "uniform" of any kind, and smelled of BO. I first thought he was a maintenance person. He did not provide assistance in terms of how to negotiate the MRI bed, what to hold on to, etc. Very casual and not engaged in the process. Very unusual from positive experienced I have had with SMH downtown.
