    I had been seeing my regular doctor for over 15 years and unfortunately, he disappeared off the…read moreface of the earth so I had to find a new doctor. I am a bit particular about who I like to share my health info with so I like to meet my new doctor and check each other out to make sure we are both comfortable sharing all those deep dark secrets about colds, pains, and the occasional weird ailments. Physicians Associates has a number of offices around central Florida and I had been going to the one in Kissimmee all this time (I live in Winter Garden!) so I decided to try the office closer to me. The doctor I picked did not work out. After our first visit, I knew I could not share with him and feel comfortable so I decided to try another office which brings me to this one in Clermont and Dr. Timmel. Like many doctors offices, I called to make an appointment when I had a cold and was told the next available time to see him would be about 2 months from now. 2 months? My cold will be gone by then! After some conversation with the lady on the phone, I made an appointment to meet Dr. Timmel but it would be about a months wait. I know I am a 'new' patient to him but in the past, my old office would always fit me in and I could see him that day or next. Being new to this office I had to wait to meet him. But I can say, the wait was worth it. The office is in a building right next to South Lake Hospital. After checking in with the receptionist, she handed me a large tablet computer and asked me to fill in all my information on it. That was kind of cool but a bit confusing since some of the questions that it asked me did not make sense. One thing that bothered me was that after entering in all my medications, it wanted to know if I wanted to save money on them by using a mail order system it offered... buy three months worth of drugs for the price of two... but I said no to the offers. After that was done, a few min later a very nice nurse took me in the back and took all my vitals. I explained to her why I was there and the few challenges I was having. A few min after she left Dr. Timmel came in and we chatted about many different things. I truly enjoyed his bedside manner and I knew then I had found my new doctor. He was thoughtful and answered all my questions. Never made me feel rushed and I felt he was truly concerned about my health. Of the three challenges I brought to him that day, he was able to help me with all three. I made a new appointment for a full exam in a few weeks and left with a hand full of papers and lab tests to do. Everyone at the office was very nice and I feel that they all care about the health of their patients. My only challenge with the experience was that by the time I got home, I had three emails from my pharmacy telling me that my new prescriptions were not ready.... what new prescriptions? I soon found out that the office had ordered the drugs I take on a daily basis from my cardiologist... something we did not even talk about. Why? Nobody told me they were going to do this and now my insurance company was not going to cover any of it since I had just refilled them a week ago. And besides, Dr. Timmel is not the original doctor who prescribed them so why would he fill them? A bit confusing but I think it is something done by the computers and not him directly. Other than that confusion, I found Dr. Timmel, his staff and the office visit to be a good experience. Enjoy!

    I left a review for Dr. Ghosh, but what I should have done was a review to the office. Being an…read moreestablished patient you get zero preferential treatment...meaning if you're sick, take a number. They told me to go to an urgent care place and they couldn't fit me in. Next appointment was next week. Well...I'm miserable now and I've already waited it out long enough to finally make an appointment. The previous review was dead on....sick? wait 2 months and the doc will see you. The thing is, he wasn't established. I am. Still, no difference. If you ask me, they have too many patients...so, here's one less!

    Everyone in this office are awesome and caring. My first time with DR Bennett (after seeing the…read moreother nurse practitioners that are amazing) she was very dismissing and thinks she can diagnose what the child has. I have worked with kids in autism as a behavior therapist and more. Speech delay is not autism! For her to tell me that my child for sure autistic was ridiculous. He is a normal child with no symptoms or behavior of a kid with autism. I rather have the nurse practitioners that are more realistic, caring and they listen to you and will go do above and beyond with information for you to understand and learn more about anything the child has. I love them ! But not the main DR.

    As a father of four children with a deep background in health and wellness--including serving as…read morethe lead speaker at over 300 regenerative medicine seminars--I have always prioritized accurate, responsible, and child-focused medical care. My experience with Dr. Lorna Bennett at Bennett Pediatrics was not only deeply disappointing--it was professionally negligent, dismissive, and outright dangerous. I brought forth evidence-backed concerns regarding the illegal administration of prescription medication to two of my children by a non-medical adult. Both children experienced negative side effects, and were misdiagnosed by an after-hours clinic with conditions that lacked proper testing or symptom correlation. Dr. Bennett dismissed these concerns outright, defending other clinics' failures and refusing to critically assess the risk posed to my children. One of the most disturbing examples came when my young daughter was stuck by an uncapped needle while taking out the trash at her mother's home. Dr. Bennett's response? She compared it to needle sticks nurses receive, completely minimizing the uncontrolled, unsupervised nature of the incident and ignoring the traumatic context. This isn't care--it's dereliction of duty. In another case, my daughter tested Class 5 for cat allergies--a medically significant reaction that should have prompted immediate recommendations to remove allergen exposure from the home. Initially, Dr. Bennett stated the cats needed to go--but then, inexplicably, reversed her stance and pushed pharmaceutical treatment instead. This wasn't medical discretion--it was an intentional downplaying of an urgent environmental health risk. My daughter has a clearly documented history of severe allergic reactions to cats and dogs--confirmed by formal allergy testing showing a Class 5 reaction to cats and Class VI reaction to dogs, which indicates an extremely high risk of significant respiratory distress. She has no history of allergic reactions to any other environmental triggers. Prior to the introduction of cats into her mother's household, she was a vibrant, healthy child--able to run, play, and live life fully without the need for medical intervention. Since that exposure began, her health has taken a steep and devastating downturn. She now suffers from persistent respiratory symptoms, including coughing fits so severe she sounds like a 90-year-old chain smoker. She's been placed on daily steroids and albuterol, and is being pharmaceutically managed rather than medically protected. Let me be clear: this didn't come out of nowhere. It's not genetic, it's not mystery asthma. This is a direct result of long-term, repeated exposure to known allergens, despite documented evidence and professional acknowledgment that such exposure posed a serious risk. Instead of acting on this information to remove the trigger, Dr. Lorna Bennett and others chose the path of least resistance--excusing the presence of the cats, downplaying the severity, and pushing medication as a substitute for safety. This isn't care. It's institutional betrayal. During a recent visit, Dr. Bennett offered yet another disturbing deflection: she claimed my daughter's severe respiratory decline was likely due to her vaccine status, despite no clinical basis and no consistent pattern among her siblings. My two older daughters, with nearly identical vaccine schedules, have no history of asthma. My youngest--who is further behind in vaccinations than Tessa--hasn't developed symptoms. This wasn't a medically grounded explanation. It was a distraction--a sleek, baseless excuse to avoid addressing the real issue: prolonged exposure to a medically confirmed allergen. Dr. Bennett had no data, no evidence, and no accountability. Just a sales pitch. Parents don't bring their children to pediatricians to be sold misleading narratives. They come for care. For protection. For truth. And at Bennett Pediatrics, you will find none of that. During yet another visit, a ringworm lesion the size of a quarter was missed during a head-to-toe evaluation--even after two ER visits and an urgent care trip within six days. Instead of addressing these errors, Dr. Bennett focused the appointment on an unsolicited conversation about divorce, accompanied by religious commentary that had no place in a pediatric health visit. This clinic operates with a dismissive, "prescribe-and-dismiss" mindset, offering superficial evaluations, excusing errors made by other providers, and silencing informed parental input. I entered as a highly engaged, experienced parent--and was treated as though my concerns didn't matter. That's not medicine. That's malpractice. I urge every parent to avoid this practice. Dr. Lorna Bennett does not advocate for children--she pacifies dysfunction and enables harm. This is not an emotional rant. This is a public record of medical negligence. I have submitted a formal complaint to the Florida Board of Medicine.

Was given a order for an xray, went to an advent health ER, and left within 5 minutes because I just needed an xray, and they were going to have a doctor see me.

When you enter the building, you check in with Security, and they verify your appointment. They then direct you to where you have to go to, and you proceed to that area and wait till you're called. The doctor here has known me for over 10 years and their staff is pretty familiar with me as well. I always get good quality care that is friendly and efficient. my way to have always been fairly short, which is nice compared to many doctors. I am lucky that my doctor actually listens to me and includes me when it comes to my care. Location is not quite as convenient for me, but it is worthwhile for me to have the opportunity to see a good quality doctor. I've had some pretty good luck with doctors that are with Advent.

    DO NOT SEEK TREATMENT FROM THIS OFFICE. They are rude, disrespectful, lazy, and incompetent. On…read moremultiple occasions I have needed orders to get labs done and it has taken multiple days of hounding them over the phone to send the orders or they have neglected to send them altogether. On the first occasion it took me two days and over 10 phone calls to get someone from their office on the line. Even then when I requested that an order be made for a TB screening they sent a blank document over their patient portal, resulting in restarting the process of getting someone on the phone. Another similar incident just occurred today. I kindly asked that the office fill an order so that I may receive COVID testing and the same thing happened as last time: I called multiple times and still was not able to get the order placed. When I asked them to fax it to the Quest Diagnostics I had an appointment at, she said it was "done" BEFORE I was even done reading the fax number to her. Imagine my frustration when I show up to my appointment only to find out that they never sent the fax, the order they sent over the patient portal is inaccessible, and to top things off they close early on Fridays so they were unreachable. As a result of this office's negligence I will not be able to receive a COVID screening. These incidents are testament to just how little this practice cares for its patients. But it is not only the lousy front desk that leaves patients with a foul taste in their mouths; Dr. Teran is also completely out of touch with the needs of his patients. I came in to the office to receive treatment for a mild fungal infection, and after receiving a cold welcome from the ladies at the front desk I spoke with Teran about the problem, who then proceeded to address other things that I didn't come in.This led to him ordering a multitude of tests that I DIDN'T NEED, including an Allergy Panel (a very expensive test and one I had already completed before). This blase approach to ordering tests resulted in me unnecessarily spending more money and wasting my time. This office has consistently shown its lack of regard for its patients' time, money, and wellbeing. I have given this office MANY chances naively believing that"it was an off day" or that "next time they won't treat me like this." Well, I am here to tell you that their disregard for patients is not a fluke but rather a consistent characterization of their care, their attitude towards other people, and their negligence. I will no longer be receiving care from Dr. Teran or his office and suggest that anyone looking for a primary provider LOOK ELSEWHERE. This ain't it.
