The office personnel are caring and knowledgeable and the office is run very well. I couldn't be happier with my care there. They have a well run infusion and diagnostics lab also.

Dr. Manohar and her team are spectacular. I don't know what I would have done without these people…read morewhen my rheumatoid arthritis hit. If you are reading this, you know how hard it is to find a rheumatologist, let alone a spectacular one. Because everyone in this practice is so wonderful, they are insanely busy. I have also had good experiences at their sister location in Sarasota, and I believe they have another one in Venice. I think most of the rheumatologists work out of more than one location. If you are looking for a kind, patient, highly knowledgeable practitioner with a good team, I can't overstate what a wise choice it would be to find your way here. Like everyone else I know who goes here, at some point you will be speaking of your doctor as one of the best doctors you've worked with in any specialty. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Manohar, her assistants, the phlebotomist, and the people who work in the front office. I may not have been lucky in my genes, but I have been very lucky in the

Out of all of the Doctors that I visited during my time living in Bradenton/Sarasota, Dr. Okuhara…read morewas by far the best. If I were to ever move to the area again, she would be my first choice. She believes in preventative care and is extremely professional. Her offices are clean and well run, she truly cares about her patients, and she is easy to talk to. Since money was always an issue for me, she went out of her way to give me samples or discount coupons on my prescription medications, when they were available. She also made sure to discuss every aspect of life with me that would affect my health; such as diet, stress, excercise, family history, and overall well being. She has also given me excellent referrals and worked with my insurance companies to make sure that my preventative care is covered. Sometimes her office staff and nurses can be pushy or rude, since she is in a shared office complex with other doctors.

This review is long overdue! Having moved down from NY where I had wonderful doctors, I frankly…read moredidn't expect in my urban snobbery to find anyone who could compete with the type of medical care to which I was accustomed. Hands down, I discovered that Dr. Okuhara excels beyond my several decades of experience in going to doctors. If the criteria include: 1) Professional competence; 2) Time with patient; 3) Diagnostic ability (especially outstanding); 4) Availability; 5) Excellent referrals to top-notch specialists (best experiences with her referrals every time); and 6)) Compassionate billing practices and office procedures, Dr. Okuhara gets 6 stars. cb

I have been a pain management patient for a few years and had a previous Doctor that I dreaded seeing every month. When I was blessed enough to be switched to Dr. Fernandez I was nervous, but he quickly put me at ease and now having to go to the doctor isn't so bad. The staff are always friendly and polite. There's always a bit of a wait, but it's not too bad and he's definitely worth it!

THE DOCTOR WHO IS AT THIS PAIN MEDICINE INSTITUTE NOW TREATED ME HORRIBLY. I'm a responsible…read moreperson; my family has been in this area for decades; and I'm a former award-winning teacher. I'm not a young kid, and I don't take pills to try to get high. I have had major back pain since I broke my hip with a very bad twisted type of break. When one has had a major trauma to their body, other problems can easily begin... such as arthritis, etc. Arthritis has been terrible, along with other pain producing problems. What I think might be sciatica (sorry for the spelling), began a while back, and is the worst pain I've ever experienced. Whether it's sciatica or something else, this pain makes it impossible to stand or walk more than a few steps without HAVING to sit down for a minute or so before being able to once again stand or walk. It continues happening, so often it makes it impossible to go anywhere, or even do much around the house. I got an appt. at this office with only doctor there (whose last name starts with G ), and waited nearly 3 weeks for the appt. They require their patients to fill out 15 or 16 pages of personal information, which I did, being completely honest. They also require their patients to arrive 30 minutes prior to their actual appt. time. Finally, the day of my appointment arrived, and of course there was a long time in the waiting room. After finally being led back into one of their little rooms, and answering again all the questions on their papers, the guy told me the doctor would be in in just a minute. A while more of waiting, and then a girl came in to tell me that Dr. G. didn't think I was a good fit for what he did!!!!!!!!! She couldn't really tell me why, except to say that he liked to use physical therapy, etc. in his practice. Well, why in the heck wasn't I told that when I called for the appt. 3 weeks ago? If so, I could have found another doctor, and not have wasted 3 weeks waiting for absolutely nothing!!!! So here I am, having waited 3 weeks for the appt. with a pain doctor whose job, I thought, was to try to alleviate his patient's pain... But he didn't think 'we were a good match', so now I have to start all over again to find a doctor, get an appt., and wait to see that doctor. I was unable to drive to my appt., so I had to get a friend to leave work to take me across town for this "non-appointment." Not only did I waste my own time,,, but I wasted the time of a good friend who should have been at work rather than sitting in a doctor's office for no reason! My friend heard a gentleman come out from his appt., talking about how unhappy he was with Doctor G. and his appt.... that he would never be back, and that he was going to find another doctor. What's happening with the Hippocratic Oath these days?

He also got my cholesterol controlled and I don't have to take medicine anymore for it. All of this was because he took the time to educate me about proper dieting and exercise(something my doctors up north failed to do).
