Whereas 5 stars used to be reserved for a fancy restaurant or club, in times of "the crown" it's…read morereserved for a doctor who has Saturday hours! Dr. Raben has been my primary doctor for awhile now, and part of the reason I chose her is that she has Saturday hours for established patients without an extra fee as long as you have an appointment. Regular copayment is always better than an urgent care center copayment! She has a lab, x-ray & ultrasound machines in her office, which make it more efficient whether getting a routine physical or a diagnosis when you're sick. In addition to treatment, she also offers some nutrition related medicine such as the vitamin IV's, which I'm a believer in. Dr. Raben's also offered phone consults before it was trendy. Her staff is friendly and helpful in getting your appointments. Heads up, Dr. Raben is direct. Besides still keeping paper record like the old day her bedside manner is to the point and lets you know what you (and yours truly) sometimes might not want to hear about your habits and health. That's sometimes needed!

I have heard others say this but I'll say it again; she was hurried, careless, and lacked the…read moresocial skills of any typical family practitioner. She asked if I had "any other concerns" and before I could finish my "well yes.." she was showing herself the door. Also, the complaints about the incredibly rude and inattentive staff, are totally accurate. With that said- I had a wonderful young nurse who was kind and listened to me. That's the only reason I'm giving a 2 and not a 1.

On the positive side, I had very good experiences at this facility from a medical perspective for…read moretwo surgeries. On the downside, they overcharged me for the first procedure. This was due to a miscalculation on their part of what total reimbursement they were entitled to under the contract that have with my insurance carrier, and how much my portion of the insurance would be. When I pointed this out at the time of advance payment for the second, identical procedure, they insisted I had to make the same payment as the first time. This similarly resulted in an overpayment. This occurred 2-3 months ago. I have written them a letter and gotten no response. I called them and was routed by their phone system to an outside billing firm, only to learn that this company no longer handles South Florida Surgery Center. They have acknowledged that my account has a credit balance but have still not issued me with a refund. This is indicative of a facility with cash flow problems.

I attempted to book an appointment, was placed on hold for 20 minutes only to be discounted. I called again, put on hold again for another 15 minutes. When the scheduler finally came on the line I was told that I had to book an appointment with my "new physician", my regular physician is no longer affiliated with the medical practice, OK. However I was then told that my new physician is booked until after the "First of the Year" (3 months out)! Really! 3 months!!! Good thing I was not in a hurry!! When I asked about seeing another physician I was told that I could see "a new doctor" who, turns out to being a nurse practitioner NOT A DOCTOR al all!! I asked if I could see another "doctor" in the practice and the answer was "no, sorry, there's nothing I can do " I'm looking for another Primary Care Physician!

During the first visit he was very nice trying to understand her eating habits and routine at school and at home as well. He gave her some changes to do. and explained her some high carbs food replacements for high protein and low sugar carbs shakes, bars etc. and offered her pills. she didn't want to take them. We had our second visit 2 weeks later. and my daughter had lost only one pound. He took about 10 min with us and the only tip he gave her was to starve for 16 hours. as many days as possible. I tried to ask him for a eating plan and to teach her what foods are better for her to eat. His answer was: "She is 17 is too late for her to learn good habits" My daughter got sick the next week. she has high colesterol and also anxiety. Any ways. I think his bussiness are the pills. and of course with pills everybody loose weight, but I am pretty sure that there are many ways to loose 30 pounds without them.
