I've been seeing her for three years and now that I'm leaving Miami, I'm kind of traumatized thinking about having to find a doctor as good as Dr. Shaffer again! Dr. Shaffer is associated with Baptist and you can communicate with her office using Baptist's online portal as well as see all of your exam summaries and lab results. She was covered under my United Healthcare Insurance, and luckily still in-network when I switched to Cigna. She shares the office with one or two other doctors who I believe are both "concierge doctors" so needless to say the office is beautiful and spotless. They can do EKGs and x-rays in office, as well as all of your blood work right then and there. I've seen her for everything from yearly physicals and strep throat to more complicated issues. She is so kind and intelligent. I have never once felt any bit uncomfortable or awkward when talking to her. Her office staff is wonderful too, particularly Courtney, and many times I've been able to get an appointment same day. Her office is located off of Lincoln Road, but there is a huge parking garage right next door with very reasonable rates. I think at most I have ever paid $8 and that was for a fairly long physical with labs, followed by a stop at Shake Shack across the street (because what else do you do after getting a physical?) As far as any negatives, the wait time can at times be a bit long, but since the service is so good I really don't mind. They're usually good about submitting prescription refills as well, I've only had to call them once or twice to follow-up on a refill. Her old assistant, Minerva I believe, used to be a bit scattered, but her new one Courtney is totally on top of everything.

I underwent surgery performed by the renowned Dr. Vulcano, an outstanding physician whose expertise, dedication, and compassion inspire complete confidence.

Five stars are simply not enough to rate the quality of care provided by this hospital. Mount Sinai deserves the highest recognition for its unwavering commitment to the health, well-being, and recovery of its patients. Thank you for giving me hope and for guiding me through this journey toward recovery. Highly recommended and deserving of the highest praise. Gremaf Reyes

They made me wait all month for my appointment and for me to come in, which is physically difficult to do on its own, to tell me they won't accept me as a patient. Now, days before my prescription expires, I have to scramble back to my referring doctor to renew my prescription. All the nurse practitioner offered me is suboxone for when I will inevitably go through withdrawal due to their carelessness. My previous pain management doctor has been transitioning all of his opiate clients out of his practice and referred me specifically to Dr. Kamlet because this is his speciality. I assumed there would be little issue. It's a real slap in the face, on top of already having come in last month to receive ketamine treatment for my back-pain and being turned away due to their practice not using ketamine to treat back-pain, which I explicitly explained to the receptionist that I would come in for over the phone. Traversing the ever-changing field of medical care regarding opioid pain medication is hard enough and painful enough without falling victim to this kind of careless and abusive mismanagement.

I was not given time to properly consider or consent. His reason was that he preferred the projection. I was very clear from the start that I wanted a smaller, natural result. Because of this last-minute change the outcome is the opposite of what I agreed to. The implants are overly projected and firm, with very visible scarring and noticeable veins due to how tight they are. At a follow-up appointment, the surgeon raised his voice when I shared my concerns. The office offered a refund at that visit, but later said it would only be issued if I signed a non-disclosure agreement. I declined the NDA and still have not received the refund months later.

Competence inspires confidence. Disorganization destroys it.

EDIT - Beware, this person is actively abusing Google's policies and having negative reviews removed. Do NOT go here. This provider displayed the most unprofessional conduct I have ever encountered. The overwhelmingly positive reviews for him do not seem authentic. He was absolutely the worst PCP I have ever seen. Some people project unresolved issues through "obtained" power, especially when they see someone in the same racial category as them -- Gerard is one of those people. From the start, he became defensive when I provided a written list of referral requests. I explained that it was just to streamline communication, not to replace discussion or overstep his protocols. Instead, he fixated on the list and immediately refused to submit all referrals "because of a piece of paper." He also inappropriately asked why I changed PCPs, which is private information I chose not to share. Despite this, he disrespected my boundaries and assumed my motives, saying I switched providers because I didn't get the referrals I wanted -- which was invasive, rude, and untrue. His outbursts were so concerning that I genuinely felt unsafe. The clinic no longer felt like a safe medical environment but more like a bad neighborhood you'd avoid. To clarify: I switched providers due to being repeatedly late, one was 3-4 hours late on the first visit, a bacterial infection was missed, and prescription errors. My final switch was due to issues with the staff, not the provider. Regardless, when I say "no," it should be respected. Boundaries should be honored. I explicitly stated I had a gastro appointment the next day but was not expecting same-day referrals. I just wanted to know if they could be processed in time. Despite clear communication, he became fixated on the list and refused all referrals, demanding I explain them verbally, even though I already provided clear notes. He seemed more interested in asserting control than providing care. One referral was a follow-up from my previous PCP, and the others were for chronic conditions that needed specialist attention, not just lab work. Initially, he agreed to refer me to an endocrinologist but then decided against it after reviewing my labs, ultrasounds, and bloodwork. He said there was no diagnosis to warrant an endocrinology referral, disregarding the ultrasound confirming thyroid enlargement from last year September and this past March. He claimed that seeing an endocrinologist would be a "waste of time" -- a statement I never made. He then became fixated on managing everything himself, expressing a strange desire to be the sole biller for the lab work. This raised concerns, and my credit card flagged the transaction. In the middle of the appointment, he stated "We are not going to work out" as if we were dating which was weird. He could not get over the fact that I brought in 3 written referral requests. It began to de-escalate and then it went back to him saying "We are not going to work out" because I still wanted to see an endocrinologist. It is my decision and my right. Also, I requested a refund of my copay. This whole encounter was insane. I started to believe this must be a prank. Despite everything, I kept my composure, avoiding eye contact and keeping responses minimal. There is a serious issue when a healthcare provider reacts with this level of hostility over something as innocuous as a written referral list. I will be reporting this to the Florida medical board and booking platforms for further investigation. Fortunately, I was able to get a new appointment the same day but I had to seek another PCP the following day due to the provider being out of network. The next day I went to Memorial Hospital with an appt for a new PCP who submitted labs and an open referral for a gastro in front of me without hesitation, back talk, I did not have to over-explain or convince her, and she did not question me, and listened thoroughly to me without me having to giving her my written referral requests. She was also not offended that I brought them with me. She did all of this in ONE visit. The problem was Gerard! He tried to obstruct my care and exert control, but his efforts were 100% unsuccessful. I strongly advise against seeking care from this provider. He created a very hostile environment from the start which is dangerous for anyone seeking care. The provider tried to have my review removed on Google but I will not allow anyone to experience this and will continue to share my experience.

I was scared to be left alone because I felt that I could lose consciousness at any moment when a flare began. Previously I thought I was "very healthy" as I have been a fitness lover and yoga teacher for 15 years. I had certified hundreds of people in trauma-informed mind-body tools to regulate the nervous system, yet there I was unable to find homeostasis within myself. The truth was that I was extremely malnourished. This triggered digestive issues that became my root cause for all of the immune, inflammatory, hormonal, neurological and even mental health/emotional issues I was experiencing. Dr. Rutenberg had the wisdom and vision to connect all of the dots for me when other doctors seemed to tell me that I was "fine" and to continue eating the way I had been. Instead Dr. Rutenberg put me on a nutritional protocol that eliminated 90% of my symptoms in the first 90 days!!! It felt like a miracle to have my life back so quickly. Since then, I have continued his suggested protocols and now 1 year later, I feel like I am in my best health ever! I have more energy and strength and I feel like I am reverse-aging both internally and externally. This experience of healing solely with nutrition and no medications was so inspiring and life-changing, that I decided to enroll in a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner program so that I can help others the way Dr. Rutenberg helped me. Next, I will be studying functional blood chemistry all thanks to his inspiration. Dr. Rutenberg has taught me that the truest measure of a high-caliber doctor is one who inspires their patients to become their own healers.

I booked an appointment 5 days in advance for a spinal injection, and they told me I'd be able to get it done the same day. To make matters worse, they don't accept my insurance, so I agreed to pay out of pocket. Over the phone, the receptionist quoted me $250 for the first consultation, with additional charges for any procedures. When I arrived, the receptionist told me the consultation was actually $175, which seemed fine. But then, out of nowhere, someone from the back interrupted and said, "No, the first consultation is $300." I pointed out the $250 price I was quoted, and she begrudgingly said she'd honor that price. After this confusing exchange, they made me wait 45 minutes in a room. Eventually, I decided to leave, but then I saw someone in the hallway on a computer. I asked if he was the one going to see me, and he said he was reviewing my file and would be with me shortly. When he finally came in, he introduced himself as the PA. I asked how long before I'd see the doctor, and he casually told me the doctor was doing a procedure and I wouldn't be seeing him at all.
