Savanna Dehner is amazing, she takes the time to sit down with her patients and explains everything thoroughly. Sher does all of this with a smile on her face and great presentation. I would 100% recommend this PA to anyone. read more

Extremely disappointed with the office and how it is run. I had a skin problem in which a typical…read moreinternist would know the answer to but Dr. Kelsey did not. In stead, he referred me to a dermatologist. However, I never got the referral. I had to make my own appointment with another dermatologist. Found out I had Scabies, an extremely contagious condition that required immediate attention. I also had a stress test scheduled and was never notified by either e-mail or text message of the date and time and confirm the appointment. 20th century office. I had to fill out 5 pages of background with paper and pen on a clipboard. Who does that anymore? If you want to have the latest equipment and communication, find a doctor what uses EPIC (My Chart) and do everything electronically.

Dr. Kelsey's office is all about the MONEY. Rarely do you ever get to see the Dr. only the PA's &…read morenurses. My wife & I have used him for as Primary & Cardiologist. He has all the equipment for testing that is convenient but getting the results is nearly impossible. When you ask for records to be sent to the hospital { Flagler Hospital has banned him from practicing }, or other specialists it takes for ever or Not at all. Getting through to any one is difficult at best. Even though we have been patients there for years they told us we were considered new patients and they could not make an appointment. When asked for records they said it would cost us for each page. A neighbor who was elderly used him for 10 plus years, went in to see the Dr. Kelsey for swollen legs & only got to see his PA Alex. They sent him home with water pills 2 weeks later he was DEAD. You would be better off with a Veterinarian than this Dr's office.

This review concerns Dr. Krishna Sikaria of this 'Center': Having just left this office with my…read morehusband, perhaps we are still too stunned by the bedside manner of this doctor; but, hopefully, others may be spared. This doctor assumed my husband's care when he was admitted to ICU with an arrhythmia. I had difficulty getting this doctor to respond to my questions re: my husband's well-being, so that should have been Clue #1. After being home for a few weeks, we again saw Dr. Sikaria in his office. He was rushed, and came across to me as blunt and rather rude. My husband was still ill enough to not remember a lot of the visit, so I thought, 'Maybe the doctor was just having a rushed, bad day; although, certainly no excuse for his unprofessional behavior." Clue #2 Today, the third visit, my husband had questions re: his diagnosis and treatment. This doctor treats that with disdain, pure and simple. If not that, then he is smirking at you like you are either an idiot to ask that question, or just wasting his time. Counseling was ALL that was needed at this appt. No med refill, no EKG,....the doctor listened to his chest for about 5 sec. Then, proceeded to answer our questions with sarcasm or, as I said, disdain, for even bothering to ask. We were stunned. The doctor then got up and left the room. My husband said, "That's it?? We paid for this....for the lack of respect and no answers to questions?" Dr. Sikaria may very likely know the clinical aspects of medicine....I don't know. I DO know he is very rude and feels patients are taking up too much of his time. So, we will not be returning. As a nurse, it saddens me to see healthcare reduced to this. My husband is scared and legitimately concerned about his future health. For this doctor to speak to him like he did....unbelievable. The wait was long in the waiting room and the examining table was dirty. Just added to the overall bad experience here. SO glad there are other cardiac specialists in the area....

My uncle has been going to Dr. Sikaria for years and could not be more impressed. He was…read moremisdiagnosed by another cardiologist in the area; once he saw Dr. Sikaria, he was put on the right medications and has been doing much better. I think if you are looking for a doctor to hold your hand and cry with you, this is not the way to go. But if you are looking for a doctor with experience who knows what he's doing and can treat you right, definitely visit the Heart Center. We are extremely grateful; Dr. Sikaria saved my uncle's life.

I have been going to this facility for eight years now. I have had all kinds of radiology…read moreprocedures here from a regular x-ray, MRI, CAT, Mammography, DEXA scans and even a breast biopsy by the radiologist (thus eliminating the need to go to the Outpatient Surgery at the hospital or at an outpatient surgery facility, both of which usually cost you more money). The people here are FANTASTIC! From making an appointment, to check in procedure, to wait time, to actual procedure everyone is professional, efficient and thorough. I can't say enough great things about them. They also have offices in Palm Coast, Port Orange and Deltona. I moved to Jacksonville in April and when it came time for my mammogram I researched everywhere in Jacksonville on my insurance plan. When it came right down to it I decided to make the trip to St Augustine. I based this decision on reviews I read regarding Jacksonville facilities, I knew Radiology Associates Imaging of St Augustine would do the best job for me, that they would take less time to check in, and that the technicians and radiologists were exemplary in the work they would do. They also have a state-of-the art 3D Mammography. Makes the whole process a dream! They are definitely "worth the trip"!

My husband and I had just started our vacation when, during lunch, the veneer on a front tooth unexpectedly popped off. Needless to say, I was a little stressed. I called 1st City Dental, and they were able to get me in right away. From the moment I arrived, the entire experience was exceptional. The front office staff was welcoming, efficient, and had me checked in quickly. The hygienist was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive in taking the x-rays. After performing a thorough examination, Dr. Davis was able to successfully reattach my veneer. She also identified an area that should be evaluated further by my dentist back home, which I greatly appreciated. Rather than simply addressing the immediate issue, she took the time to provide a comprehensive assessment and ensure I understood her recommendations. What impressed me most was Dr. Davis's demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine concern for my comfort and care. Having dealt with my share of dental issues over the years, I have worked with many dental professionals, and Dr. Davis stands out among the best. If I lived in St. Augustine, I would gladly make Dr. Davis my primary dentist. I am incredibly grateful to her and the entire team at 1st City Dental for turning what could have put a major damper on my vacation into a remarkably positive experience. Thank you Dr. Davis and1st City Dental!

Actually, we never kept our appts. They could be excellent dentists for all we know. They're busy,…read moreso we had to wait a relatively long time for an appt. No biggie, really. But probably the deal breaker was that for a routine check up after the dental part of the appt. we would've had to wait SIX MONTHS for a cleaning. We've NEVER run into this kind of arrangement in our collective 140 year experience. One explanation, we thought, was that they couldn't hire or retain enough dental hygienists. And why is that? Are there not enough dental hygienists in St. Augustine, or does the practice not pay them enough or otherwise provide a miserable working experience? Who knows, and really we don't care. We are tired with tolerating drama anywhere for whatever reason, so we're going back to our "old" dentist in Orlando. We got two appts. about 10 days out from contacting them. The appt. includes a cleaning.

Dr. Trunk is super friendly but also great at what she does. She's also realistic - she encourages strong oral hygiene but doesn't talk to you like a lot of other dentists can (read: condescendingly). She just chats with you. The hygienists are also quick and professional and clearly enjoy what they do. I also had a more major procedure done (root canal and crown due to a mistake from a previous dentist) and that was as pleasant as could be. They are professional and do great work and I have had no issues with the crown since they put it in nearly two years ago.

Following their treatment plan, I came in to replace 3 old fillings. Dr. O. removed the old…read morefillings, but decided I needed a root canal and crown instead of a filling. My fillings were from many years ago. Now instead of $78, it's going to be thousands of dollars. Went to another office getting a filling not a root canal. Also, beware of the topical fluoride for adults....it is a profit center. I have never been asked if I wanted this additional treatment. I researched on line. Make up your own mind. Some research says it is great for adults, other research says it is all about the money. Dental Doctors has changed a lot in the past few years. Maybe it is time to make a switch. It appears their business is not nearly as busy as it once was. These are my views and I am not a doctor or dentist. As always, buyer beware.

It was scared the heck out of me but yet Dr Northrop was honest and told me what the risk was for and possible outcomes. I actually appreciate that. I'm a nurse and of course we are often critical of doctors. It took a visitor to until I was willing to trust. But at that point his bedside manner was good and he was extremely honest with me for the positive and the negative. I needed to hear that and also to know what steps to take to follow his direction to the best outcome I'm so glad I did that because now I see that my x-rays are regaining bone. I had a very complicated surgery Dr Northrop and actually three surgeries in total over the last 8 months. I am very fortunate to not have to have an amputation which was a possible outcome. My bone is regenerating, I'm on the final stage of healing. Dr Northrup would be my next go to if I ever, God forbid, needed help again. I will recommend him to anyone that has an absolute problem. We get surprised in life sometimes and people we don't expect to meet. I'm very glad I did and he was recommended to me. Thank you to Dr Northrup! And his staff also, a very pleasant office to visit and very efficient. I don't think I've ever waited more than 5 minutes if that.
