I surveyed my friends and associates and was pleased. I touched base with my insurance carriers and no problem, so it was a go. Online Presence- Up and running but a little behind the times. They have a website but no patient portal. There is a link to make an appointment but all it does is generate a call to the staff. It's time for an update! Arriving- Thy are on the southbound frontage road of US Route 27 between Avon Park and Sebring. There are several turn offs before and after them. Just query your GPS. Parking is no problem. Front of the Office- Always a big deal in a medical practice. The physical part is just fine. The reception area and treatment rooms are clean and mostly comfortable. See my pictures. The staff is better than just fine. Everybody I touched was great! The Appointment- I was able to get an appointment within a week which was great. I showed up a little early and was in a treatment room before my appointment time. Soo far, so good. Unfortunately, I sat there for almost 45 minutes with no contact from anyone! Not a good way to make a first impression! The Md- First impressions were very favorable. He knew how to listen, which is so important! His questions were organized and on point. He spent about 45 minutes with me which I appreciated. I walked out feeling good about my choice. Conclusion- A solid choice! That 45-minute wait hurt but he made up for it with quality time. I'm going with 4 stars for now!

Somehow the emergency room we visited the same day was satisfied to hand her a bottle of general antibiotics and send her home. I am convinced that she would have died had he not seen her that day and had her admitted at once. He is an altruistic doctor who is skilled and compassionate. I am grateful to him that my mother is not only still here but well. I have heard several people speak of him in glowing terms. now i understand why.

This nursing staff needs to be cleared out for a new staff or this doctor will be losing more than patients coming to see her!

All they care about are the copays here! Dr. Camillo has absolutely no bedside manners whatsoever!…read moreMy 3 month old baby had an emergency over the weekend. Since Sebring has no pediatric hospital I had to go down to Miami to get my baby checked into the emergency room because she had a possible seizure. I left multiple messages for the doctor to call me back with the nurse on call and nobody called me back for an entire week and a half!!!!! Thankfully after 2days in the hospital in observation and running numerous tests, the results were negative Thank God! I called the doctors office and spoke with the front desk who advised me that in order for me to speak with the doctor, I would have to come in. I asked if they had received any of my messages and they advised that they did receive them but in order for me to speak with the doctor I had to go in person. A simple phone call from Dr.Camillo asking how she was doing prior to me coming in for a follow up appointment would have been the professional thing to do. But she refused to call me and required me to come in person. Again, absolutely no bedside manners whatsoever!!!!! We will NEVER go back there again! On top of that, the front desk is VERY unprofessional, whether you're in person or over the phone one of the front desk girls constantly calls you "Babe" .... What is that?! Either call me by my last name, first name or "Mam". But it's extremely unprofessional to be calling patients mothers "Babe"!

I am extremely disappointed in my recent experience with Dr. Bassetti's office and feel compelled…read moreto share what happened. After renewing and paying in January, I discovered that 3,812 mg of edibles were missing from my allotment, and my overall recommendation had been lowered in December without my knowledge, consent, or any communication. According to MMU records, dispensary staff, and another physician, the change was made under Dr. Bassetti's authorization. When I called the office simply seeking clarification, the nurse (Karina) became hostile, interrupted me repeatedly, mocked my questions, accused me of being rude and cussing and three lies, and ultimately hung up on me twice. I had a witness present during this call and a recording. I did not curse or behave disrespectfully whatsoever and was humiliated in so many ways by everything that has transpired now. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, Dr. Bassetti emailed me accusing me of behavior that did not occur and publicly responded to my review in a way that referenced my patient status and implied misconduct. I never gave permission for my medical relationship to be discussed publicly. I only described my experience and the treatment I received from his staff. I was previously granted an exemption by another physician, which I relied upon for managing severe anxiety and PTSD. That exemption is now gone, and I have been unable to obtain the medication levels I was accustomed to without any explanation from this office. I am currently dealing with significant personal loss and recent changes to other medications, which I had hoped to discuss during my paid appointment. I have not been given that opportunity. Additionally, my husband, who is also a patient, received a phone call from Dr. Bassetti at 7:00 PM on a Friday regarding my complaint rather than being contacted about his own pending concerns or me being contacted to actually answer/address my concerns/questions that I've been waiting on clarification on since I called Mon and got belittled by Nurse and then blamed for her actions by the Dr! And blasted publicly!. We have both experienced unexplained allotment reductions. This situation could have been resolved with a simple, professional phone call explaining the changes and addressing concerns respectfully. Instead, I felt blamed, dismissed, and publicly embarrassed. Patients deserve transparency, communication, and basic respect -- especially when they are managing serious medical and mental health conditions. I have documented everything and have reported my concerns to the appropriate state authorities. I sincerely hope no other patient experiences this level of hostility or lack of communication when simply seeking clarification about their own medical care.

This Dr is half the price and a fraction of the service. When people have a problem with his office…read morehe doesn't resolve it. He stoops to running his mouth and breaking doctor patient confidentiality. HIPPA. He is either ignorant or just trying to be manipulative when he acts like people are Doctor shopping who have been a patient of Doc MJ. Doc MJ does not give you the same doctor unless you specifically request it and wait on them. They just transfer you. He's made it out like several people are Doctor shopping because of that. The only doctor shopping most of us have done is coming to you for a cheaper price. You are not even half the service the other doctors provide. And if anybody is in the same predicament with this a****** you can go to true leave and they will give you a doctor that is 50 dollars the first time up front and the rest is free. Do not get sucked into this unprofessionalism. He won't return my call he will not respond to me. He is a coward and I'm waiting for you to call me and talk to me personally. You want to run your mouth and break my wife's HIPAA? Enjoy that fine nerd. Do not go for this half-assed pretending doctor. He changes prescriptions and basket amounts without asking. The first time I went to his office in person which he requires him and his wife who is his receptionist obviously it had a fight I heard them screaming arguing through the door when I walked in. He was short and aggravated when I was there cursing and unprofessional. Again, I know it sure as I'm texting this you're going to respond to this instead of calling me like a professional would. You have my number you have my information I've been trying to contact you for months. When my wife tried to contact you you wanted to get gutter and be all sorts of unprofessional. Keep that same energy. Come break my HIPPA. There's two ways to file for a HIPAA violation and I believe you fell for both of them when reading all of your Google reviews that I have screenshotted. Again just stay away from this headache y'all they're cheaper doctors better doctors. This is an insecure man who tries to flex his authority over marijuana prescription like he has a monopoly on it. Get f*** nerd. Most of us have smoked weed are entire life you're just an easy option. And not a good one

I've been with him for 11+ years and here is what it's like to visit this practice. Arriving- He is in private practice and owns his own very nice stand-alone building with private parking. It is just off US Route 27 North. Parking is a snap. Ambience- The interior is spotless with a comfortable waiting room. I don't spend much time there as his process is very efficient. His treatment rooms are also very comfortable. Network- He is part of the Advent Health System as are all of my specialist MDs. It's wonderful and extremely convenient that all of my Docs have access to all my records! Intake Process- When I show up, I usually see two or sometimes three folks that take care of the basics. They are friendly and efficient, do their thing and then pop me into a treatment room. So customer service is exemplary. I usually wait about five minutes before the boss shows up. Bedside Manner- If you are expecting a crisp white jacket and formal attitude, you are in the wrong place! He usually wears shorts and for me he hits just the right balance between casual and getting the job done! Super easy to talk to. If I get a blood test, he calls me within a week after the results are in. Faster if it's something serious. Language Barrier- Folks sometimes ask me if he has a difficult accent and the answer is absolutely not! Anyone who has ever met him will say the same. A quick visit to the front desk to pick up any follow up paperwork and I'm out of there! Conclusion- So I experience an excellent environment with solid caring and friendly staff. My records are organized across my Docs. Dr. Sharma's bedside manner suits me, and I trust him! It's a solid five stars from me!
