My experience with Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi has been pleasant and satisfactory…read more I went under Dr. Bruce Mertz after my lifelong family doctor down the street (Schulze Sr.) finally retired and I have the former office to thank for the good referral. Dr. Mertz sets his patients at ease. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, offers prevention advice, and has a very proficient practice. The paperwork that is shared with the patient is modern and easy to follow. The admin help visibly work off the options of the health insurance I am using. The low waiting times with the waiting room and exam room have been impressive versus what I read of elsewhere. The overall operation is set up to run efficiently, which is too rare in the healthcare industry. The waiting area is large, clean and well-kept. I would recommend this practice to family and friends.

Professional, timely, efficient and courteous are just a few words to describe my experience with…read moreFamily Practice Associates of Corpus Christi. I was waiting hours and hours in the waiting room of my previous family practitioner and it was becoming a burden. He was a wonderful physician but the wait time was just too much. Luckily I found Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi and was accepted as a new patient. That was about six months ago. Both my wife and I switched to Dr. Mertz. Dr. Mertz is fantastic. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, and has a very proficient practice. Both my wife and I have seen Dr. Mertz several times since becoming his patients and every time we only spent five to ten minutes in the waiting room and only a couple minutes in the exam room before Dr. Mertz came in. I only wish I had found Dr. Mertz when I retired to Corpus Christi in 2005. My life would have been much better from a medical standpoint. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention his staff and the waiting area. His staff is wonderful in every regard. And the waiting area is large and clean. If you're considering Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi, don't hesitate to give them a call. And by all means as to be assigned to Dr. Mertz.

If you're looking for a doctor who works with you as a team, who takes the time to answer all your…read morequestions and concerns, and who truly cares about your welfare, body and soul, then Doctor Boriack is your man. With years and years of experience combined with his willingness to learn and be receptive to new and modern treatments -- he works with his patients to develop a total health plan. Okay, so he's not young and his hearing isn't all that it used to be and his body, like all of us, has taken its licks over the years. I can tell you that inside is a mind sharp and youthful. He has not only been a wonderful doctor who has helped me choose the right supplement program but who has also led my wife and I to specialists who are leaders in their field of expertise. Doctor Boriack takes a holistic approach to your health. If you want a doctor who will help guide you to taking charge of your health, who will treat you like a special person, and who cares for his patients deeply, then Doctor Boriack is your man. On the other hand, if you are a stress monster and don't have the patience to wait, often times up to an hour, to see him, then you can do one of two things: (1) make sure you get the first appointment of the day or (2) go to a different doctor. There are lots of doctors out there who are willing to herd you through quickly, if quick is what you want. But don't expect that from Doctor Boriack. Discussing ailments and developing correct treatment plans takes time. So while you're sitting in the waiting room, read a book or magazine or just take the time to actually relax. Or perhaps strike up a conversation with the other patients waiting to be seen. Either way, Doctor Boriack is worth waiting for. I've been treated by hundreds of doctors during my military career and during my life as a civilian. None have been as caring, effective and efficient as Doctor Boriack. Doctor Boriack is in his eighties. My only regret about that is knowing that some day he'll have to retire and I'll have the impossible task of finding a doctor as competent as him. He's been my doctor for about eight years and my wife's doctor even longer. He appreciates that we are both smart enough to research and guide our wellness. He provides his input and years of experience to provide us with multiple perspectives. Choosing a doctor is no easy task. And it takes several appointment to develop a relationship with a new doctor. He's not a magician, he's a doctor. He'll expect you to be his co-pilot as you work together optimizing your health. He has also been a mentor. Although I'm 63 years young, it's nice to have someone a few years senior who can make sure I steer straight and true. I've come to count on his advice and he's never failed me.

I was fortunate to find Dr. Boriack about ten years ago. He treats both me and my husband. He has…read moreguided me through a number of medical crises and he is very good at diagnosis. He stays on top of the meds we are required to take and carefully monitors our lab results to be sure we are aware of any side effects and/or need to alter medications. He is a "hands on" doctor and will give you as much time as is needed to explore your issues and find the proper resolution. He is a Christian and asks if you would like to pray with him at the start of each visit. If that makes you uncomfortable, you may decline. I appreciate a doctor who asks for God's help in treating me and who acknowledges a higher power. I have truly been blessed to find Dr. Boriack with all his wisdom and experience. He has assisted me in finding alternative solutions to my heart blockage... (cleared the blockage) ... and helped me find appropriate supplements to avoid prescription drug side effects for thyroid and High Blood Pressure. Dr. Boriack effectively treats my Fibromyalgia and my Arthritis. He does not dictate. He listens, and as a team, we choose the best solution for my needs. Dr. Boriack is patient, kind and caring. He is worth waiting for if there are others in line before you. He has also recommended several fine specialist who assist me with other issues. Cardiologist Rafael Coutin, who is a really great heart doctor. Also, at my request, Dr. Boriack led me to Dr. Harlan Burhans, a chiropractor, who has successfully addressed my spinal fractures with stem cell patches. I do recommend Dr. Boriack to my friends. Respectfully submitted, S Claghorn

She takes care of my blood pressure, thyroid, and many other medical issues. Her Office Manager, Susan, is wonderful. One in a million.

She always does a painless draw. The whole team is just that...a TEAM. I highly recommend Dr. Jacqueline Cohn. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest...I give the Dr. & Her TEAM an 11.

Dr Michael Reyes is the most qualified surgeon that I have ever used and I have had many hernia…read moresurgeries. This time I had one ventral hernia that had been repaired twice before and two inguinal hernia's that were very painful. He was genuinely concerned before surgery since I had an umbilical hernia surgery in 2003 and recalled mesh was used which broke and punctured my upper and lower bowels. That one turned into nine total surgeries to get it right, so I have been in surgery hell. He did mine robotically and had to use five incisions to do it correctly. The day after surgery and for about four days total the pain was the worst that I have ever had BUT the surgery took almost five hours and involved a lot of adhesion and other growth removal just so that he could sew in the mesh. It is now day eight and I feel much better and I know that he did the best that he could do. I saw absolutely zero racism because I am white which was mentioned by another negative reviewer. I am also a veteran and we all know that the VA never pays the total bill and that had zero bearing on my treatment. All of these negative reviews with problems are more to blame on the reviewers and not Surgery Associates. I highly recommend Dr Michael Reyes !!!

Because there were no appointments at Spohn South until August for an upper GI, I had it done at DeTar Navarro in Victoria on May 18. Since then I have waited for a call concerning having an endoscopy with Dr Martin. I have called numerous times only to be sent to voice mail boxes that are full. I finally spoke with Jared a couple of weeks ago and he said my referral was expired. Could I come in for another apartment. I said no, and he promised to speak to Dr Martin and get back to me.
