    Terrible front office staff, rude and incompetent. From reviews of other locations I see this is a trend. Avoid avoid avoid!

    Have been a patient at this location for several years. Used to see Dr Sheils everytime I had an…read moreappointment. Since she left a few years ago I have never seen a doctor. Always an ARNP or MA. Saw "Diane ARNP" Was doing televisits with "Joe" who was very knowledgeable and thourough but he left also. Service has become terrible. Constantantly have to call several times for every issue. Terrible customer service. The only bright spot in the office is Sheila, who always does her best to help. Bree is curt and sometimes just plain rude!

    My prescription had to be refilled so I called my pharmacy On Monday, and they said they would call…read morethe doctors office. They called me back and said they denied my refill because I had to be seen. On Wednesday they called me and said they would go ahead and fill it but I had to come in on the 26th and be seen. So I called the pharmacy back and they said no it was denied. So I called back the doctors office and try to get a hold of someone there in the nurses area for two days I left messages. No call back. I call on Thursday and on Friday and still get no resolution. I had a conversation with the receptionist On Friday where I said I could just make an appointment for Saturday and come in. She said you can come in on Saturday it's more walk in appointments, but I would go ahead and come in that would be the best way to get your prescription refilled. So I show up on Saturday morning at 9 AM when they open, and I am the first one there. I hear the male nurse in the back coughing and sounds sick but poor guy was at work anyway. I go into see the doctor and before I went in there I was talking to the nurse and asking him about the other things I wanted to ask them about while I was there. He said it would be best to talk to the doctor about those things. So this PA-C Joseph Burke comes in and immediately has an attitude with me. I was asking him about some other issues and he got upset because he didn't want to answer any other questions he just wanted me to refill my prescription and go. He would only full it for two weeks because he said i need blood work! So I pay another $40? I thought since I was there I would get my three month Prescription since I was in the office, but he continued to get mad at me because he had more people in the waiting room. I told him that the receptionist said it would be better if I came in on Saturday and he said she was mistaken that she only works eight hours a week and she doesn't know. I told him I had been working on this all week trying to get in and he said I should've been planning this a lot sooner. I was trying to get a sleep aid refilled and he was treating me like I was trying to get some drugs from him or something. I told him that I did try to get in sooner that week and that because of their inconsistencies I was misled and I told him I was going to look for a new office to go to, and he said that's exactly what you should do. He said I filled your prescriptions and it's time for you to go and walked out of the room. Basically left me upset and crying while leaving the office. I felt like some kind of criminal. Then he sends my prescriptions off to a different pharmacy than the one on my chart. It's a good thing I checked first I checked first before going to pick it up I told this guy his bedside manner was horrible and he should consider other work and he just smirked at me. This guy should not be in medicine. It's pretty bad when you get shamed for having insomnia. I've been on this medication for years. Nobody should be treated like this when they pay $40 for an office visit and over $300 a month for insurance! On a sidenote, I did grab some Aleve p.m. from the pharmacy when I went to pick up my prescription because I don't want to be treated like that ever again. I took that last night and it's basically turned me into a zombie for the whole next day. I can't understand how this would be better than my prescription. But it's still better than being treated like crap!

    I was asked to come onboard as a Physician Assistant at Premiere Concierge Wellness & Spa to do…read moreHair Transplants, as no one in this office has any experience doing hair, and they wanted me to launch their hair division. I had been warned by several people who have previously worked for this company not to trust them because they felt they were unethical, but I went against my better judgement and decided to help them. The owner, Dr Arun Khazanchi, had agreed to my consultation services as an Independent Contractor, as he needed my expertise, guidance, documentation and contacts in order to be able to launch his first case. There was a lot of back and forth and eventually I came in for the day on April 18th and worked 6 hours. Within that time, I evaluated the work space, gave a clear and concise order of surgical operations dictation to the office manager, provided her with documentation to execute a surgery and provided her with supplier for instrumentation, as well as give her an itemized list of instruments needed to perform the surgery. You can see from the text exchange that she informed me that I would not get paid within the pay period that I worked, and rather, I would be paid after I executed my first surgery. I did not respond to this because I know this is illegal, and I was suspicious about them bringing me onboard after they sucked all of my knowledge from me. I followed up with them a few weeks later, which was approx 2 weeks before the intended date for the first surgery, and suggested that we postpone the surgery since they were not prepared to execute the case. At that point, Ashley and I had a verbal exchange that I felt was aggressive on her part, and I decided to decline moving forward with them to partner in hair restoration. I provided a detailed email to Dr Khazanchi on my decision, and also included my unpaid invoice for working on April 18th. I received one text exchange asking me for my mailing address for the check, and have not received anything since. I will be escalating this to the Department of Labor and possibly Small Claims court.

    I came to MCR Dermatology for a skin cancer screening to be sure I had nothing problematic…read more I signed in and almost immediately was called to go back. Jessica, the nurse took my blood pressure and some information. Dr. Denise Guevara did my exam. She was extremely thorough and took all my concerns seriously. I have had many cancer screenings before but Dr. Guevara was the very best. I definitely recommend MCR-Dermatology with Dr. Denise Guevara. She was extremely knowledgeable, did a thorough check and was very nice making me feel comfortable. Jessica, the nurse, was also excellent and very nice. Overall, my visit couldn't have been better!! 1/5/22

    Akin to visiting a 3rd world clinic where you are treated like an indigent nobody and left to wait…read moreridiculous amounts of time and still not see anyone. Not sure about the actual health care because after arriving 15 minutes early for my appointment, I sat in the waiting room for 45 minutes until I could no longer wait. People were jammed in like sardines in the waiting room and also all along the wall outside the waiting room. Ridiculous in the age of Covid that this place overbooks to this degree and expects people to wait 45 minutes or more. There was one lady with expiring insurance who had already waited over 2 hours. I have no idea how much longer I was going to wait before seeing someone because in my mind 45 minutes was plenty long enough. After 45 minutes I asked that my co-pay be refunded to my card and I left. This is dermatolgy, not like it is an emergency room where something unexpected like a bus crash impacting an ER might be the cause of a long delay. Nope. This long delay was due simply to the greed evident when signing up way more people for appointments than they can reasonably accomodate. This is part of the MCR (Manatee Rural Health) network now and it shows. Same lack of caring, hard if not impossible to get someone on the phone or line up referrals or get a straight answer. I was also told that this appointment was only for a 'meet and greet' type visit with a doctor, not what I thought I was booking and just a blatant cash grab to get you to return so they can bill your insurance again and charge you a high co-pay. I was there to get a suspicious small growth removed. It doesn't take a 'meet 'n greet' to just go ahead and take care of the issue I am there for.
