Dr. Meyers retired! Sad time as he was the only person keeping me at this practice because he truly…read morecared for his patients. He just didn't write scripts for unnecessary prescriptions or tests. He took time with each patient and you could truly see his care. Now it's been a little while since I've been as I typically only go for my routine exams for prescription renewals. Keep in mind I've been coming here for years and I've also been on the same meds for longer than I've been coming here. I called a few weeks ago to schedule my routine exam and was told at that time that they'd send a note to the nurse practitioner for my script refills since I booked my appointment. They'd also get my blood work script out to my home address as I'd need to get that done about a week or two before my visit. Today I called because no script received to date and I was notified by my pharmacy that my script refill was denied. Spoke to the receptionist who informed me that the nurse denied my refills because she wanted to see me first. Also informed that she didn't approve my blood work because she needs to meet with me to determine what I actually need. Keep in mind I only have 10 days worth of meds left so irritated I explained that this was absurd. I cannot just simply stop taking my meds for weeks while the nurse determines next steps. I've been on these for years and there's been no change to my health to indicate it's ok to stop taking and even the warning on the meds state to not stop taking unless consultation with a doctor which I've had no consultation or tests to confirm it is ok to stop taking. In looking through my file she noticed that I was coded as a new patient so she explained since that wasn't correct she'd send my file back through to see if she'd approve. Today I just couldn't take it anymore and changed due to my experience. I just had enough and switched to another practitioner. I should not have to deal with the mere stress of this. I mean come on!

Meet my doctor, Dr. Stephen Meyer from the Sun Lake Family Practice up in Lutz, Florida. Dr. Meyer…read moreused to be part of a larger medical group located on Linebaugh Avenue in the Carrollwood area, but he moved his practice up north last year to support a base of patients on the north side of Tampa, and I elected to drive the extra 15-20 minutes to stay as his patient. Sun Lake is a part of the same medical family as the former Northwest Family Medical Center on Linebaugh, and so it was quite easy transferring my chart up to the new office. Dr. Meyer is now located in the Sun Lake Professional Center which is north on Dale Mabry, past the northern end of the Veterans, past Calusa Trace, past Cheval......start watching for the cows on both sides of the road.....and there he is on the left in a small professional office complex. Dr. Meyer has been a family practitioner since 1989, and was an Army General Medical Officer in Desert Shield and Desert Storm before that. He is extremely knowledgeable, very personable, and really takes the time to get to know his patients. It's not uncommon to spend an extra few minutes talking about a new exercise program that I can use while traveling, or discussing the medicinal benefits of various types of hot tea, or even the details on that really good restaurant that I discovered last weekend. The mission statement in the examination rooms really says it all, "To provide the most compassionate and best quality care possible for each individual in order to enhance his or her quality of life. This includes not only physical care but also spiritual, mental, and educational support." That really says it all for me, and it explains why I will continue to go out of my way to see Dr. Meyer.

I am very puzzled by the low rating on yelp for Doctor Lindsay and family first wellness. She could…read morenot be any nicer or more thorough as well as her nurse practitioner Kristina and support staff! A previous review may not be aware that they turn over in staff is really not that, Doctor Lindsay has students rotating through all the time doing their clinicals.

I explained that I had already seen her and we had discussed several options for treatment, based on test results. I really liked her thought she was going to be a perfect fit as a physician going forward but not now. Who shuttles their patients off to another doctor or holds them hostage and says they have to pay $250 for an annual VIP service to see a doctor??!? Seriously what the hell?

The office staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Love that they get you in right on time for your appointment and the wait times are not long. They even have telepath appointments where you don't have to go to the office, merely FaceTime with the doctor. Dr. Sterk is absolutely AMAZING!! He is so patient and easy to talk to. He's dedicated to his patients and their healing. Dr. Sterk takes the time to listen to his patients and wants them to be healthy. He's worked with me in taking me completely off of my blood pressure meds. And ensuring I'm taking the proper vitamins for bone health, etc. I didn't even know that he's also an Osteopath who can manipulate the spine. I was in for my last appointment and woke up with a bad headache that morning. He took me back to a room that had a chiropractic type chair where he had me lay down and worked on my neck. After his manipulation to my neck, my headache was immediately gone! I absolutely appreciate him as my doctor and know that I'm in good hands with his care! I HIGHLY recommend him! If you look him up he literally has 5 star reviews from all patients! He's THAT awesome. He even does mission work in Guam and treats patients in Guam. https://provider.kareo.com/troy-sterk

I have been with Dr. Crall for about 2.5 years now... he is a caring, and helpful doctor. Excellent communications... he even has on online portal and is very responsive to messages sent to him that way. You can also schedule appointments and view medical records online. He does not use insurance, and has a monthly membership type of practice... but provides excellent care for less than what most insurance would cost anyway... as long as you don't need expensive procedures. And even then... he knowa where to go to get the lowest prices on self-pay cash-pay procedures. I have recommended several people to him, and they really like him too! Highly Recommended!

Those extras, combined with his staff, especially Kara, blow my old Dr. and his staff out of the water! Wonderful service, can't recommend them enough.

I have several friends who are patients at LifeChoices and many of them have children who are also patients at LifeChoices.
