When I went into my appointment I felt like acted like the Dr was listening but didn't actually listen to me and like a lot of other doctors assumed more than listened. This office use to be great but it has really changed and not for the better. The nurse practitioner I had seen and loved is no longer here. Very disappointed.

I moved from different state to FL. I was struck with some kind of unknown allergic reaction. I…read morewent to visit AFM Clinic. I also needed to establish a physician for my lower back L4, L5 and S1 pain medications I am on for over 20 years. Nurse practitioner came, took list of my meds mail order. She ordered my meds. Upon receiving the meds I noticed, she didn't order one of my meds for 90 days BUT for 30 days with no refills. I called pharmacy. Pharmacy replied, doctor ordered for 30 days with no refill. I called doctor's office. The doctor says he will not write 90 days or 30 days refill until he checks my physical. The clinic is stuck up, making totally irrelevant excuses to write meds refill or for 90 days. In order to further establish state of my physical, doctor went ahead with my blood test. I also requested to check if I am allergic to any unknown allergy. Besides, The unqualified staff who don't know how to read blood pressure. The pressure was so high, the nurse practitioner refused to order my medication I am using for almost 20 years. Well anyway, I went back to get blood drawn for testing purpose making sure there is nothing wrong anymore apart from some unknown allergic reaction I had earlier. The 2nd nurse came in to draw my blood. She can't even find my vein. Huh.... She send 3rd nurse to draw the blood. She gets it without making "ANY EXTRA DIGGING" efforts. Two days after, doctor on duty on Sunday calls asking "IF I AM DOING OK?" I was surprised. I went curious asking why what you find? Doctor says, my "SUGAR IS SO LOW" he wanted to make sure I am ok. I said something is wrong with your test. My sugar isn't as low as might think. I am absolutely active, working, going to gym. He said, there should be something wrong in test. He asked if anything went wrong while they drawing the blood? I said, the nurse named Deborah could find my vein. So she went ahead ask 3rd nurse to draw the blood. That's all. He orders 2nd blood drawn. I went today for another blood draw. 4th nurse came to draw the blood. He instigated if I get bruises a lot. I said, yes depending on how much you dig in my body. He takes my blood, then leaves all near by me, goes out to check if I have follow up appointment for test result discussions. I requested again, to write refill plus 90 days supply for my pain medicines. The receptionist said, she will send in message forward. They will call. Nurse named Deborah called, started crying for the same. They will not order another refill or 90 days supply. I said, you are not making any sense. She Says, my blood pressure was too high. It seemed like the doctors office practicing unethical behavior to cash on new patience. Moreover I am above 60 so I am a target of their atrocious pattern of behavior. I restrict anyone visiting FMA Facility located in Winter Spring, Florida. These center is milking patience not helping or do not know how to treat their Patience. Beware! Do not go there.

I have Multiple Sclerosis and see my fair share of doctors, so I have specific relative experiences. Dr. Lauridsen is the ONLY doctor I see that knows who I am and remembers previous visits. She actually listens. Her go-to with me has never been "let's throw a pill at it", we discuss all options openly, as a team. She is compassionate and kind and takes a lot of time with each patient. I have never "no showed", and support fully her office policies around that issue. We all sign the policies at the beginning, perhaps they should also be READ by non-compliant patients...? I highly recommend Dr. Lauridsen - she's a top-notch clinician and provides top-notch care!

I feel that the most important thing in finding a good doctor is finding one who really listens to you and understands whatever problem you are having. They must understand you problem before they can treat you. My favorite is Alexandra Sloan, PA-C. She has seen me through breast cancer, gallbladder, and any number of minor infections and other health related issues. The office is run by a wonderfully organized group of people. So you don't have long waits but you also don't feel rushed. I feel like they have my best interests at heart!

I recently switched from a family practice to see Dr. Ruggerio, an internal medicine physician…read more After experiencing a lack of knowledge regarding some important health conditions, I looked for a doctor that not only accepted my insurance, but didn't keep me waiting for hours on end and was educated on my specific condition (rheumatoid arthritis). I am very impressed with both the staff at the Dr's office, as well as Dr. Ruggerio himself. I didn't wait for anything more then a few minutes at any point in time, even in the actual waiting room, which is where the majority of patients are kept suffering in my experience. I was called in within ten minutes to a room, and seen almost immediately by Dr. Ruggerio. Not only did he have a very thorough understanding of my RA, he also did an in-depth analysis of my medical history to make some recommendations that would help manage RA better. Unlike some other doctors, he really spent time getting to know my medical history and helping me out. I didn't feel at any point in time like he felt rushed or bored and ready to move on to the next patient. Imagine; a doctor that actually CARES about his patients and not just his pocket. The staff follow up was excellent as well. The nurse sat with me to look up some specialists in the area (I was still travelling to NY to see my rhematologist a few times a year), and called a few days later to check in. They are extremely fast at getting back to you when you call with concerns or are in need of refills, and also fill prescriptions via Blackberry on the spot. Now that's service!
