    I was misdiagnosed with Dementia here one year after my mother died from it. I had been caring for…read moreher for two years. I was given a very brief exam in his office and told me I had dementia. I was devastated. I couldn't really even process what he said to me. I went through extensive testing, very expensive testing. When I went back for follow up, I was tested again and did not have dementia. I had my sister with me this time. Three worth worst months of my life. Right prior to Christmas and my daughter's wedding. Imagine watching your mother die from dementia and then being told you had it. I was 63 at the time. It was a turning point for me regarding healthcare and how I was going to move forward. I hope this never happens to you.

    I am a patient of a general practitioner at Intercoastal medicine. I am between jobs and would not…read morehave insurance until Jan 1. I found out I have hyperthyroidism and needed to see an endocrinologist. I have cash and can pre-pay; whatever is needed. After a week with NO communication, I called the endocrinologist's office and they tell me "well, we don't accept self pay". A whole week goes by and only when I take the initiative to call do I find out they have no intention of seeing me? PITIFUL The endocrinologist's office says "No insurance, no service". No exceptions. Are you sick? Do you need immediate care? Not their problem. Drop dead. Luckily, I found a doctor who will accept CASH and have an appointment on the 13th. IN MY OPINION, this group cares more about getting insurance rates than cash. If you are sick, I would look elsewhere. I did get a call today saying they could get me in on Jan. 6, since I now have insurance they can bill. PITIFUL

    I've been seeing dr Antunes for a few months now for thyroid issues. This is by far the most…read moreefficient dr office I have ever been to. They get you in and out while providing excellent care. Dr. Antunes gets right to the point, which I love! I don't want to chit chat and share my life story. The nurse practitioner is great too. I like his rationale when it comes to determining the right synthroid dosage.

No one returned the call. He tried several times over a span of a couple of weeks. I then tried, no one picked up or returned my calls. I even called on a weekend and talked to the answering service, left a message. By this time my husband's prescription needed filled and it had no refills available (because he had to see the doctor). I was so angry I called back to back for a day and finally reached someone. They called over a prescription (now an emergency situation) and CALLED IT TO THE WRONG PHARMACY! After 8 years of having it go to the same pharmacy! We could not find the prescription for a few more days. When we found it, they did not call in a prescription (he has 2, they only called in 1). We are done! Going to a new doctor now....because at the end of the calling and medicine fiasco they also told me they could not find his records and that is why they did not return our calls! Wow! After 32 visits, they had no idea who he was!

    I pretty much agree with most of these comments here about what poor quality healthcare you get at…read moreintercoastal. I find it hysterical that my endocrinologist Dr Wende Kozlow fired me although I had had enough of the disrespect in mistreatment from them and I was moving on to a better doctor anyway. I tried many times to get them to give me test results when I get blood work or test and it takes minimum of 10 days before they answer you they lie to you and tell you that they don't get the results. I find it hard to believe that Sarasota hospital does not send them the results And only them because two of my other doctors got their results 10 days sooner. They must be on the crap list for Sarasota memorial that they don't get their results because there's no other explanation that they're the only ones that don't get them ever. They don't care about you and your health. Don't ever say something to the effect of "I'm sure the doctor cares more about my health then to let me suffer and not call me back and that got me fired. I didn't accuse them. I said I'm sure you don't want me to suffer. That's a lot different than accusing them of making me suffer, but I got fired which was the best thing that could've ever happened to me don't go there cause you are nothing to them. They don't care about you as a person. I have multiple health problems in desperate need of an endocrinologist and she refers me back to my family doctor that's how much they care! She was a fairly good doctor, but her office staff sucks! They're the ones who made the mess out of this. They're the ones that don't call me back and they are the ones who are very rude all the time! Save you the stress when you when you need a doctor and find a better place than intercoastal!!!! Your office staff can make you or break you in this case they definitely will break you! Not only is this my problem with them, but they asked me to have records sent to them because of my multiple problems. The pile of 9 x 12 records was over a foot high and they shredded them! Came all away from Ohio and they shredded them! Again crappy office staff! A doctor is not supposed to ever destroy records for 10 years but yet they destroyed all the ones that I paid to have sent to them! Cost me a lot of money that's how much they care about you! I can't say enough bad about them. I've had so many bad experiences. All I can say is beware there's so many other better doctors here in this town. Good luck.

    I was a patient of Dr. Jessica Thomas, who is part of the Beneva Family Practice within…read moreIntercoastal Medical Group at Beneva, for well over a year. She has zero personality, does not listen and outright lied to me about refilling a much needed anti-panic medication during an extremely stressful time for me. At my July 2025 appointment with her (a nearly $500 dollar out-of-pocket visit!) she refused to refill my medication until I had blood tests completed, promising to do so once she got the results. After spending $200 plus for testing, she denied me a second time. I was told I needed yet another appointment even though I had just seen her the month prior. She comes off as bored, uncaring and impatient. She's condescending when asked questions and does not listen to concerns. I don't remember a single time she's made eye contact with me. Nothing that's she's done during my time under her "care" has proven otherwise. She's simply a worker bee for the machine to make them money without a second thought to how much it costs the patient. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from her!
