Mount Pleasant Location: I would give this office zero stars…read moreif it'd let me. I had an extremely frustrating experience with this office and would strongly caution others. I originally came in for a routine physical, which should have been fully covered by my insurance. Instead, I was billed for standard services like bloodwork. It took SIX MONTHS of repeated calls and back-and-forth to get this addressed. Every time you call, you're routed to a call center, which makes resolving anything even more difficult. After reading other reviews, it seems like this is a common issue here. On top of that, basic accuracy seems to be a problem. I'm 5'10" and fully grown, yet they initially recorded me as 6'1". When I questioned it, my chart was later updated to 5'6" -- which is wildly inaccurate and concerning. The most frustrating part: I specifically went in last fall to establish care and ensure continuity for a prescription after moving from NC. I clearly explained that I didn't need a refill at that time since my previous doctor had just sent one in. I was told that was fine and that I could simply call when I needed a refill. When I called today, they refused to fill it and said I'd need to come in for another appointment and pay again -- completely contradicting what I was previously told. Overall, this office is disorganized, inconsistent, and incredibly frustrating to deal with. I would AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I recently moved to the area and needed to establish myself with a primary care physician. You all…read moreknow how stressful this can be. My daughter recommended Palmetto Primary Care and Dr. Teachman. I called to make an appointment and they were very nice. They texted me a link to fill out all my forms, attach a copy of my insurance card, and pay my copay ahead of time. It was so easy and allowed me to breeze right into the appointment. The assistant was very nice and put me at ease, taking my blood pressure and history. I really liked Dr. Teachman. He said he wanted to get to know me. He took time to understand my family history and talk about my lifestyle. I felt very comfortable, not nervous, like when I usually visit a new doctor. I trust that we have a good plan moving forward for my care. Checking out was easy, and I made a follow-up appointment for 6 months. The offices and waiting room are beautiful and clean. The staff is super friendly. If you are looking for a doctor that takes time to get to know a patient and really listens while providing excellent care, this is the place for you. Highly recommend.

I asked him to correct it, and he refused. His office manager called and said they could easily figure it out by listening to the recording of my visit. WHAT? This piece of crap did audio recordings of all of my office visits, and NEVER informed me. It's called a HIPAA violation. And him refusing to correct his false comments in his notes is called slander. I wouldn't do this to my worst enemy. What kind of a sick, demented doctor secretly records his office visits with you? Lawyer time!

Dr. DeCastro is a gem--smart, caring, and willing to spend the time it takes to listen to you and search for answers to problems that aren't immediately apparent. Although she is very much Western and academic in her approach, she doesn't dismiss the benefits of alternative medical therapies, assuming there is research to support them. Very glad to have found her.

Stumbled across Dr Nicolette's office because it was close to home and I needed a doctor that could…read moredo some quick blood work for CBC my work would fund my HSA for doing. The receptionists here are great and super friendly and helpful. Dr Nicolette was very warm and friendly as well. Took time to actually talk with me as a new patient and seemed interested in developing a relationship beyond just this visit. When an issue with the bill, the staff here actually worked with me to get that changed so that my visit would have been covered by my insurance. There's no way a Dr with one of the big hospitals in the area would have cared enough to do that. I don't actually go to the doctor much, as I'm (luckily) a pretty person. But I've actually been back to Dr Nicolette this year for a back issue and he displayed the same warmth and caring as he did my first visit. Anyway, I just wanted to write a positive review for the guy because I think he deserves all the praise he can get.

We were all a bit frantic after a long night of her vomiting and more, I was able to call and schedule an appointment that morning and the person I spoke to was so kind and reassuring. His girlfriend could hardly walk because she was so sick. They went above and beyond to take care of her and deal with our anxiety of worrying about his girlfriend and finding our way there. They don't deal with insurance because they are a small practice, but give you everything you need to file with your insurance company. I was actually shocked that the bill was only $300! We saved hours by not going to the emergency room, got better treatment and just felt very grateful to find this place.

Dr Helen is one of the FEW medical doctors in Charleston and surrounding area who are UCIS approved, let alone as experienced as they are. What an absolutely delightful couple of humans. They were so thorough with everything. They explained the process, did up the official forms and were so good with me and their other patients. They had their ducks in a row as far as knowing what needs to be done and educating their patients with what not to do. VERY IMPORTANT because the immigration process is so intimidating and complicated. Their office is located downtown so I was a bit worried about parking. However, they own the parking lot and building across the street so I was able to park for free. Their office is located in a very old building but the way they are set up works really well. Clean and organized in a tiny space. Mr Andy is totally on top of the latest requirements for UCIS and easily navigated and answered all my questions about the form. When they send you to the nearby hospital for bloodwork (included in their fee), they give you 2 maps and verbal directions on how to get there, where to park and the hours of operation at the hospital. They really want to make sure that their patients get there and have no worries. Such a personal touch!! Their fee is the same as 2 other doctors I called: $189. They do give a slight discount when a patient is paying cash (vs paying with credit card). They took the TIME to chat with me, get to know me, share with me about their own history and life's journey. That is so rare for medical doctors to do these days. I highly recommend calling them first.
