My experience with Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi has been pleasant and satisfactory…read more I went under Dr. Bruce Mertz after my lifelong family doctor down the street (Schulze Sr.) finally retired and I have the former office to thank for the good referral. Dr. Mertz sets his patients at ease. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, offers prevention advice, and has a very proficient practice. The paperwork that is shared with the patient is modern and easy to follow. The admin help visibly work off the options of the health insurance I am using. The low waiting times with the waiting room and exam room have been impressive versus what I read of elsewhere. The overall operation is set up to run efficiently, which is too rare in the healthcare industry. The waiting area is large, clean and well-kept. I would recommend this practice to family and friends.

Professional, timely, efficient and courteous are just a few words to describe my experience with…read moreFamily Practice Associates of Corpus Christi. I was waiting hours and hours in the waiting room of my previous family practitioner and it was becoming a burden. He was a wonderful physician but the wait time was just too much. Luckily I found Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi and was accepted as a new patient. That was about six months ago. Both my wife and I switched to Dr. Mertz. Dr. Mertz is fantastic. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, and has a very proficient practice. Both my wife and I have seen Dr. Mertz several times since becoming his patients and every time we only spent five to ten minutes in the waiting room and only a couple minutes in the exam room before Dr. Mertz came in. I only wish I had found Dr. Mertz when I retired to Corpus Christi in 2005. My life would have been much better from a medical standpoint. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention his staff and the waiting area. His staff is wonderful in every regard. And the waiting area is large and clean. If you're considering Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi, don't hesitate to give them a call. And by all means as to be assigned to Dr. Mertz.

If you're looking for a doctor who works with you as a team, who takes the time to answer all your…read morequestions and concerns, and who truly cares about your welfare, body and soul, then Doctor Boriack is your man. With years and years of experience combined with his willingness to learn and be receptive to new and modern treatments -- he works with his patients to develop a total health plan. Okay, so he's not young and his hearing isn't all that it used to be and his body, like all of us, has taken its licks over the years. I can tell you that inside is a mind sharp and youthful. He has not only been a wonderful doctor who has helped me choose the right supplement program but who has also led my wife and I to specialists who are leaders in their field of expertise. Doctor Boriack takes a holistic approach to your health. If you want a doctor who will help guide you to taking charge of your health, who will treat you like a special person, and who cares for his patients deeply, then Doctor Boriack is your man. On the other hand, if you are a stress monster and don't have the patience to wait, often times up to an hour, to see him, then you can do one of two things: (1) make sure you get the first appointment of the day or (2) go to a different doctor. There are lots of doctors out there who are willing to herd you through quickly, if quick is what you want. But don't expect that from Doctor Boriack. Discussing ailments and developing correct treatment plans takes time. So while you're sitting in the waiting room, read a book or magazine or just take the time to actually relax. Or perhaps strike up a conversation with the other patients waiting to be seen. Either way, Doctor Boriack is worth waiting for. I've been treated by hundreds of doctors during my military career and during my life as a civilian. None have been as caring, effective and efficient as Doctor Boriack. Doctor Boriack is in his eighties. My only regret about that is knowing that some day he'll have to retire and I'll have the impossible task of finding a doctor as competent as him. He's been my doctor for about eight years and my wife's doctor even longer. He appreciates that we are both smart enough to research and guide our wellness. He provides his input and years of experience to provide us with multiple perspectives. Choosing a doctor is no easy task. And it takes several appointment to develop a relationship with a new doctor. He's not a magician, he's a doctor. He'll expect you to be his co-pilot as you work together optimizing your health. He has also been a mentor. Although I'm 63 years young, it's nice to have someone a few years senior who can make sure I steer straight and true. I've come to count on his advice and he's never failed me.

I was fortunate to find Dr. Boriack about ten years ago. He treats both me and my husband. He has…read moreguided me through a number of medical crises and he is very good at diagnosis. He stays on top of the meds we are required to take and carefully monitors our lab results to be sure we are aware of any side effects and/or need to alter medications. He is a "hands on" doctor and will give you as much time as is needed to explore your issues and find the proper resolution. He is a Christian and asks if you would like to pray with him at the start of each visit. If that makes you uncomfortable, you may decline. I appreciate a doctor who asks for God's help in treating me and who acknowledges a higher power. I have truly been blessed to find Dr. Boriack with all his wisdom and experience. He has assisted me in finding alternative solutions to my heart blockage... (cleared the blockage) ... and helped me find appropriate supplements to avoid prescription drug side effects for thyroid and High Blood Pressure. Dr. Boriack effectively treats my Fibromyalgia and my Arthritis. He does not dictate. He listens, and as a team, we choose the best solution for my needs. Dr. Boriack is patient, kind and caring. He is worth waiting for if there are others in line before you. He has also recommended several fine specialist who assist me with other issues. Cardiologist Rafael Coutin, who is a really great heart doctor. Also, at my request, Dr. Boriack led me to Dr. Harlan Burhans, a chiropractor, who has successfully addressed my spinal fractures with stem cell patches. I do recommend Dr. Boriack to my friends.

However, the LOUD POP music in the waiting area is AWFUL and inappropriate for children. I had a headache by the time my husband was called to the back. I asked the nurse if I could come just to get away from the loud, horrible music and the whole room nodded and laughed as Usher's song 'Hey' played: 'Shes a lady in the streets and a freak in the bed'. I hope others I heard complaint complained as well for the sake of future patients.

My husband passed away on March 17, 2024. Of course soon after I received a bereavement letter naming all the resources I could reach out to. Fine. Here is what IS NOT FINE: They continue to send me letters about once a month. At first I just threw them in the trash and thought perhaps someone had mistakenly sent me additional ones in error. After about 4 months I decided to call them and ask them to please, please stop sending them because it is painful to continue to get them because it just brings up the pain since we were married for 57 years! They assured me that they would stop. Guess what? They did not stop! So, I finally wrote them a letter strongly suggesting that they stop sending them. New year and guess what I got today??? Another letter! I called and this time I told them to lose my husband's name on their records or else the next letter I get I won't be calling them - my lawyer will be and I will be suing for harassment!
