I usually would go to Sarasota Memorial, Downtown, which I do for breast exams, etc. and rate them highly. I will not come back to SMH at University Parkway for a MRI. The person providing the MRI said he was at the end of his 7 hour shift. He was not dressed neatly in "uniform" of any kind, and smelled of BO. I first thought he was a maintenance person. He did not provide assistance in terms of how to negotiate the MRI bed, what to hold on to, etc. Very casual and not engaged in the process. Very unusual from positive experienced I have had with SMH downtown.

I have been seeing Dr. Cindy Johnston for the past six years, and I can't recommend her highly…read moreenough. She is incredibly knowledgeable and is also very good at explaining complex medical issues in a way that I can understand. My autoimmune disease had been misdiagnosed for more than 12 years before I came to Dr. Johnston. She knew exactly which labs, imaging, and other testing to order, and she was able to correctly diagnose a condition that my previous doctors had been telling me was something completely different. Since then, she has worked with me to find the biologic that works best for me, which has made a real difference in my mobility and overall quality of life. Just as importantly, I've always felt that Dr. Johnston listens to me and takes my concerns seriously. When something changes or a new problem comes up, I know I can ask questions and get thoughtful guidance rather than feeling rushed or dismissed. Her staff are wonderful as well. Everyone in the office is kind and helpful, and they even remember my name when I come in, which makes the office feel especially welcoming. Dr. Johnston's medical assistant is always helpful and responsive, and the staff are exceptionally good at navigating the complicated process of getting biologic medications approved by insurance. They also know how to help patients find assistance programs when medications aren't covered or are otherwise unaffordable. Managing a chronic autoimmune disease can be complicated, and having a physician and office staff who are both knowledgeable and genuinely helpful makes an enormous difference. I'm very grateful to have found Dr. Johnston and her team.

Dr. Hanna is money first, patient last. If ever. Any concern…read moreI've ever brought to her, she has brushed off. Any referral I've asked for, she has told me I need to figure that out with my insurance, myself. She breaks everything possible into multiple visits so that billing happens as much as possible. For my last appointment, I had a urinalysis that she admitted she never reviewed, even though it was a severe issue that needed immediate care. I had to make a new appointment a week later to review those results because I still wasn't feeling well. When I told her it was unacceptable that she never reviewed my results, she said "it's Monday" and "you're not my only patient", I said it's been a week and that's a terrible way to treat a patient. She back tracked immediately and said she did review my results and never followed up because she didn't need to. She then began being very condescending to me and even told me she doesn't need to mother me or check back in (and denied telling me to call her if I needed a medication change, as my infection was a tricky one to treat). I again, told her this is very condescending as I was just following exactly what she told me to do. She actually hung up on me during this telehealth video call. She is truly the only PCP that was available when I moved here and it is clear why. The office itself is so gross and creepy. She's cared a lot more about my outfits I wore to my appointments, than my family's colorful cancer history! This was my final straw after her lack of care for 2 years, so this is probably a blessing in disguise for me!

I will not be taken advantage of and will always stand up for myself and the red flags this place was waving did not fly with me. 1) They want you to sign a document stating that they can charge you a day before a visit (they say it is for telehealth only but the "legal document" does not specify telehealth). 2) Go to pay your copay $1, but surprise there is a $10 minimum charge and I never carry cash. Not anywhere in their signage or documents does it go over a minimum. The old Indian man at the front office tried to tell me I can't go anywhere like a store or restaurant and pay less than $10....WRONG!! I already tried to leave the office because they couldn't conduct business properly and as I'm walking out they called me back to the desk and try to explain more, as I'm saying that they can not charge me more than the $1 copay the office man said that I would not be a good fit for the office...DUH!!! I was already on my way out the door. 3) The office is disgusting, I have to unfortunately go where my insurance is covered and I made a poor choice going here. I can't believe this place is still in business. It's so unfortunate for those who don't have access to better care than this. I thought I liked the Dr. and Nurse Ann, but the front desk staff and their policy is atrocious.

On March 7, 2026, I experienced vomiting, severe chest pain, and urinary issues characterized by a strong ammonia odor. A neighbor transported me to a hospital in a neighboring county. It was subsequently diagnosed that I had been suffering from a severe urinary tract infection for approximately one month. The sole positive aspect of Dr. Walsh is his willingness to prescribe controlled substances when necessary for pain and anxiety. I decided to terminate my association with him as my healthcare provider and am grateful that I discontinued the controlled medication he had prescribed for several months. I regard him as an incompetent, uncaring physician. No thank you.

Now, that being said, there shouldn't be someone on the phones who has a strong accent--in any company, doctor's office, etc. I am in my late 20s, have no hearing problems, and speak 3 languages. This woman's accent was so thick it made comprehension difficult. She was very irritated with me having to ask her to repeat herself and made the entire conversation a painful one. She honestly was the rudest person I have ever spoken to in a doctor's office. I spoke to a few close friends who are retired doctors, who told me they were seeing this trend.....some offices act like you are doing them a favor by becoming a patient and treat you as such. This is a nasty trend. Language barriers are no fun, and one being rude to patients merely makes it worse. In the end, I found another doctor inside 5 min, was treated professionally, and booked an appointment without incident.
