    Dr. Budd and staff are always kind and patient. Dr. Budd takes his time when he is with his patients. I have always had great care.

    Very disappointing experience…read more We had a very bad experience during our visit today. After checking in, we waited in the lobby for several minutes before staff called us into an exam room, where a male provider and a nurse were present. The provider asked questions, and we answered them. My child's symptoms were clearly visible on her face (a rash). I even asked whether antibiotics might be needed. No explanation was given, and we were sent to another room. After waiting more than an hour with no one checking on us, I pressed the nurse call button and asked what was going on and what we were waiting for. Later, another staff member came in, examined my child, and said she would prescribe an antibiotic. At that point, I was already frustrated by the long wait and asked, "Why wasn't this done in the first place, and why were we waiting so long?" Instead of apologizing or providing a professional explanation, she responded very rudely, saying: "He wasn't a doctor; he was a nurse and cannot prescribe medication. I am the doctor, and we have a lot of patients." However, this statement was not true. According to the visit documentation: * Justin Nippert, DO, is a licensed physician (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine). * Jessica Rachael Holder, APRN, is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. This means the male provider present earlier was in fact the doctor, and the person who spoke to me later was not a doctor. I also recall that Dr. Nippert prescribed medication for my other child during a previous visit several months ago. To make matters worse, when I went to the pharmacy, one of the prescribed medications was not covered by our insurance. Instead of waiting for the pharmacy to contact the provider and request a substitute, I had to pay out of pocket to avoid further delays in my child's treatment. Being given incorrect information, spoken to rudely, left waiting without communication, and placed in a situation that caused unnecessary out-of-pocket expense is unacceptable. Due to this experience and the lack of professionalism, I do not want this provider to treat my family again.

    UPDATE TO MY REVIEW ON 7/21/2025. MY RATE IS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE BELOW…read more On 7/24/2025, the director of the facility, Nathan, called me to discuss my recent visit and the events that followed. He listened to my concerns attentively and promptly addressed the most important one--ensuring that my prescription was filled. He also assured me that my other concerns would be addressed. I appreciate that he reached out personally and quickly, rather than responding with a generic message. He was professional and apologetic about my experience at the facility, which I truly value.

    I've not had a reason to visit Baptist Beaches for a personal reason. I've been there to visit a…read morefriend and to take a family member there for their own injuries. While visiting my friend 5-ish years ago things didn't sit quite right with me. She was in the hospital for nearly a month with an excruciatingly painful kidney infection that just wouldn't heal quickly nor easily. To me, that seemed odd... but I'm not a doctor. She didn't seem to be getting what she needed to heal properly. Upon being discharged she sought other doctors for prolonged care. About two years ago, my mom fell and dislocated her shoulder. I took her to the emergency room at Baptist Beaches. Knowing she was in pain, she wasn't actually seen for any type of care (just checked in and places in a room for several hours before even meeting the ER doctor. While waiting she wasn't given anything for her pain, either.... Not even some ice to place on the shoulder. Once the doctor came him he was VERY short with her and spoke rather rudely, almost as if to childishly mock her because she, too, was being short and raising her voice. However, she was the one in pain! He even threatened to 'walk out of the room and not come back' after she told him that she didn't want morphine. She related it to another family member's death and it was an unpleasant trigger for her. He behaved quite immaturely as I waited for him to stomp his feet as he left the room. I literally had to be a referee for the two of them. To this day, my mom STILL cannot lift her arm much higher than where her elbow is. However, that is in part because she didn't go to physical therapy after her injury. A couple of months ago, I again had to take my mother to the ER immediately following a visit with her general practitioner. It was discovered that she had a blood lot in her leg. To this day, we don't know how big it is, if it's dissipated, where she's bleeding from, or exactly how serious it was. We DO know that this visit was much more palatable for her 5 day stay. The nurses were more polite and orderly in their interactions with her. They seemed to be knowledgeable and very thorough with their responsibilities and communications. In both cases, I'm grateful to have had an emergency room so close to her home!

    I've been in Jacksonville for decades and gone to the beach yearly and never knew or had the need…read moreto know that the Jacksonville Beach has had a Baptist Hospital I had there in February and it was incredible the place is filled with exceptionally kind and supportive and helpful people. The concept of having surgery was nerve-racking itself, but they made it a smooth and comfortable experience. The doctors, the the anesthesiologist the receptionist were all top professionals in their field . I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Baptist Beaches ; if the need arises again !

    Type of care: puncture wound to the arm. No bleeding but was infected…read more Care quality: they told me to go to the emergency room. I went to the emergency room and they laughed and told me urgent care should have resolved this with a wet dressing and antibiotic care. So, I paid for urgent care and an emergency room visit. My thoughts are that this place does not have the skill level or the knowledge base to care for simple wound care. Office experience: I came first thing in the morning. Fairly easy process to register and about 30 minutes total before seeing someone. Staff was friendly

    I visited the Hodges location this morning for care. However, after the greeting and interaction I…read morehad with the front desk employee, I opted to cancel my appointment due to lack of confidence in this facility. Not only did the person at the front desk infer (and directly state) I was fighting with her because I questioned the charge, her lack of knowledge about the insurance process made me feel uncomfortable with the competence of the front office staff -- and potentially the doctors -- at this facility. When I mentioned my concerns, she said she was new and had been trained to say this to patients who questioned the charge. She said she didn't want to fight with me about this, which I found disconcerting as I was not fighting. I just asked why I was being charged when my deductible had been met. She explained that my individual deductible had been met, but not my family one. I questioned this interpretation, as this is not how the deductible is defined, based on my experience and my visits to other health care providers. She repeated that she was not going to fight with me, then in a curt tone, she said I would be getting a bill from my insurance company. The term "fighting" along with her attitude toward me -- and what this said about the quality of care I might receive at this location -- made the decision to find care elsewhere an easy one. And I left.
