Went in to see about establishing Wade Smith for my primary care & for prescription refills. Smith…read morerandomly turned the appointment into a bizarre interrogation with regard to my "mental health"... Did I ever experience depression, etc.... When I stated that my mental health was not pertinent to my visit and that I would rather not discuss such, Smith ( not a mental health specialist ) became very defensive, stated something to the effect of "this isn't going to work for me".... My experience with Smith leads me to conclude that there is a reason he does not have a PHD, isn't an MD. ( My husband was also witness to this violation of personal/patient rights ). Maybe Smith can respond to my negative review with a condescending retort, like the responses I've read to other negative reviews, on other pages.

If I could give this practice zero stars I would. We were new to Avon Park and my husband and I…read moreused a doctor from this practice, Dr. Joshi Shailech, and we were fine but the following year we tried to see him and were told he no longer worked at this office. I did make an appointment with the Nurse Practitioner, Tesha Baker. We had 2 good meetings and she referred me to a good cardiologist and a physical therapist. My problem is when I needed a refill on a prescription she couldn't do it because it had to be signed by Dr. Geldart who never seemed to be in the office. I have never exceeded my dosage on any of my meds. But I kept getting put off on my Xanax which states to take 1 or 2 a day as needed but I very seldom exceeded 1/2 a day and my 1 month prescription would last about 3 months. They would say Dr. Geldart has to sign this and he's not in the office. After a week and I couldn't get my prescription I would call my doctor in Wisconsin and explain what was going on and he would refill it for me. This week was the 3rd time I tried to get a refill. The 2nd time again I had to wait for Dr. Geldart's signature and it took 5 days . . . 3 days past the day I was empty. This week I called on Monday cause I new I didn't need it till Friday. I was told Tesha didn't have to see me but it would take 48 to 72 hours for the prescription to go through. It's Thursday so I called again and I was told she had to see me 1st but her 1st opening isn't until next Thursday (the 19th). We're leaving for up north the 18th. I explained that but it didn't matter. I did tell her (this is the truth) I have a very bad cold with a temperature of 99.8 and asked if she would see me sooner and this receptionist said she would but she still wouldn't refil my prescription. I said fine but I did say I will be looking for another doctor's office. After this I called my doctor in Wisconsin and explained the situation and he called in my prescription. Sorry such a long story but my advice is DO NOT GO TO THE FAMILY PRACTICE CENTER ON PLEASANT ST IN AVON PARK, FLORIDA. AND DON'T ASK FOR DR GELDART because he can't be much of a doctor if he's never around and his NP can't reach him for things that are out of her control or she just doesn't want to bother with.

I was seeing Brittany King as my primary care provider. Don't even know where to begin. I had just…read moremoved here from WI, and chose her to be my Dr. At first she was nice and understanding, but as soon as I told her about all of my problems, it seemed she couldn't handle it. I am really on top of my health care, and I felt I was overwhelming her, as well as her staff. I felt like they didn't like all of my questions, and I would question them about why they don't respond to my messages in a timely manner, also the receptionist at the Frostproof location on two occasions, messed up my appointments, and I would arrive for my appointment, and she would tell me I should have gone to the Avon Park location. I never go to that location. It's an hour and 20 mins from where I live. So I ended up having to reschedule my appointment. Brittany then sent me a certified letter stating that she was no longer going to be seeing me. I have never heard of that. She gave me a few weeks to find a new Provider. I had to start all over with someone new. I would not recommend this place. They have no idea what they are doing. And if you actually have problems, she is not the right person to help.. I would suggest seeing an actual real Dr.. They honestly don't even deserve one star. I don't know how many times Dr Geldhart needed to sign off on my refills, and it would take days and a lot of my time to keep calling and calling. I would be completely out, and was told he wasn't in the office, and he had to sign off to refill it.. My drs have always tried to help me, and they care about me, and my health. What a horrible horrible experience.
