    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!

    A Shocking Lack of Respect for a Cardiology Patient with Baptish Medical Center Beaches…read more I had an appointment scheduled with my cardiologist, Dr. Cox, at Baptist Beaches Cardiology Center in Jacksonville Beach for 8:15 a.m. on September 17, 2026. I arrived approximately 10 minutes early, only to be told that I was not on the schedule. I made this appointment last February, more than seven months ago. At some point, Dr. Cox's schedule changed, and my appointment was canceled. However, no one bothered to make certain I knew about the cancellation or arrange another timely appointment. I drove to the office expecting to receive an important cardiology checkup and review the results of my CT scan. Instead, I was casually informed that I had no appointment. Then came the truly unbelievable part. I was told that Dr. Cox's next available appointment would not be until sometime in April 2027. That would mean waiting approximately 14 months from the time I originally scheduled this appointment just to see my own cardiologist. When I expressed how unacceptable that was, the response was that they are very busy this time of year. Apparently, "this time of year" now lasts until next April. The only alternative they offered was an appointment with a physician assistant approximately seven weeks from now to review my CT scan. Therefore, after already waiting more than seven months for today's appointment, I must now wait another seven weeks to discuss the results with a PA because my actual cardiologist cannot see me until next spring. This is cardiology, not a routine haircut or restaurant reservation. Patients are dealing with heart conditions, medical tests, serious concerns, and genuine anxiety. Canceling a long-scheduled appointment without ensuring the patient is properly notified is irresponsible. Making that patient wait another seven weeks to review a CT scan, while offering no appointment with the cardiologist until April, demonstrates a stunning lack of respect and concern. Baptist Beaches Cardiology Center appears to have forgotten that patients are human beings, not numbers to be moved around on a schedule. If a physician's schedule changes, the responsibility belongs to the practice to contact affected patients promptly and provide reasonable alternatives. It should never be the patient's responsibility to arrive for an appointment and discover at the front desk that it disappeared. I find the way I was treated disrespectful, dismissive, and completely unacceptable. Being "busy" is not an excuse for poor communication, inadequate scheduling, or leaving a cardiology patient waiting months to review important test results. Baptist Health should be embarrassed by this level of patient service. Patients deserve communication, accountability, timely care, and basic respect. I received none of those things today.

    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.

    I originally went to the CareSpot on Monument Road near the Walgreens. I just needed a pre-cataract…read moresurgery clearance. This one (Monument Rd) required a chest xray though my dr had listed what he wanted from this exam and an xray was not part of it. I tried to explain this to the office staff who was very rude and adamant that their policy is I would have to get that xray for them to clear me. Even the office manager said I had to have the xray. While I was sitting in the lobby, I called the CareSpot at 410 Atlantic Blvd to ask if they require a chest xray for this pre cataract clearance. The person answering the phone thought that funny/odd. She said they do not require anything that the dr didn't specify was needed. So, I walked out of the one on Monument Road where everyone I encountered was rude to have a totally opposite experience at this one. ( I don't understand how on earth the policies can be so different at the various locations from the same company.). Every staff member here was very polite and professional. The exam was just as ordered by my doctor with no requirement for unnecessary tests. The lobby was very clean (opposite from Monument Rd) and calming. I was in and out in the amount of time I wasted sitting in the waiting room of the other facility.

    Waited for hours and everyone working there acts miserable, like they'd rather be any place on…read moreearth but there.
