You have to communicate through staff members, sending messages back and forth. What you end up with is a what should be a 2 minute conversation dragging out for 5 days! (4) If you need pre-authorization for an Rx: They expect the patient to contact the insurance company, get all the forms and information for them, then wait 3-4 weeks for an appointment to get it filled out! I am so outta here -- These people are lazy and do everything they can to avoid working or helping you. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place!

After relocating to Gainesville a few years ago I decided it was time to establish care with a…read morefamily physician. I scheduled an appointment with this practice because it was close to my home and I figured since they were affiliated with UF it would be good. To start off, it took about three weeks for an open appointment. They told me to arrive about 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork on the day of my appointment. My appointment time was the first one of the morning, but following instructions, I arrived early. I went to open the door and it was locked. No one was there. I waited for 15 minutes and someone finally came to open the door. What was the point of telling me to come early if they keep the door locked until the minute they officially open?! So I fill out my paperwork and wait and wait..and wait a little more. Shocking since I was the first appointment of the day. I'm finally in an exam room, the nurse takes my vitals and then I wait for the doctor. I had a couple things I wanted to discuss since I had not visited a family physician for a while. The doctor comes in and we start talking about my questions/concerns. She stops me and says "One thing at a time, we can't cover everything today". I absolutely did NOT have a lengthy list or anything major to discuss! Talking a few minutes longer she is almost positive that I'm pregnant and wants me to do a urine test. I knew there was absolutely no way I was pregnant, but I said whatever and peed in a cup. Guess what, I wasn't pregnant. After 15 minutes of accomplishing nothing, she orders a bunch of labs, which I was sent to Quest to have done a few days later. Here is where things get crazy. I received a voicemail from the nurse rattling off the results of my labs in technical terms. At the end of the voicemail she says I am being referred to UF Hematology/Oncology and they will be calling me to schedule an appointment! I am not a medical professional, so I had no idea what the results she rattled off meant and I was terrified to hear that I was being referred to an oncologist (doctor specializing in cancer). That is not something you leave on a voicemail message. I quickly call the office and ask to speak to the doctor. They would not let me speak to the doctor, but had the nurse call me back. She went a little more in depth about the results, but I still didn't really understand what the heck was going on. Hematology/Oncology called and the first appointment was a month out, which I was freaking out about. I needed answers. I called UF physicians to schedule a follow up visit so I could ask her to re test everything in the meantime just to make sure there wasn't a mistake. Her response was no and that hematology would run their own tests at my upcoming visit. I thought this was absurd, just order another round of labs to confirm the results. For one month I was extremely stressed out and terrified that I had something seriously wrong. When I finally went to my appointment with the specialist, it turned out to be a lab error. All of my stress and anxiety could have been prevented if the doctor would have re tested like I had requested. Avoid this practice like the plague.

His behavior has directly impacted my mother's care, as he prematurely signed her out of urgent care against medical advice, which nearly cost her life due to his cognitive decline. This lack of support and communication is unacceptable, especially given the gravity of the situation.

When I needed an infusion pharmacy in Gainesville, I contacted the only two I could find (with…read moreextensive searches online): Barnes & Vital Care. They both informed me they were unable to fill the prescription my physician had ordered. Feeling stuck, I shared my situation with a colleague who works for the VA, and she immediately recommended JRA Health, telling me they provide outstanding service for complex infusion cases (and they may not have come up in my searches because they have two offices, one in Jacksonville and one located just east of UF Health on East University Ave-- in Hawthorne-- focused on serving greater-Gainesville). From my very first interaction with the team at JRA Health it was clear that my colleague was correct -- I called and spoke with Jonathan in their intake department, and he could not have been more kind, prompt, and helpful. The following week, I spoke directly with the owner and CEO John Awad, PharmD, and experienced firsthand what sets JRA Health apart. When he discovered my needed medication was backordered at the wholesaler, John immediately contacted the manufacturer directly to expedite the order. He worked late nights and over the weekend to track the shipment's arrival, showing the kind of personal attention that's vanished from most healthcare settings. Carla, their Clinical Service Liaison, was phenomenal during the onboarding process, ensuring every detail was handled with care while maintaining clear communication throughout. The entire team went above and beyond to deliver the prescription promptly as soon as the shipment from FedEx landed. What truly impressed me most was John's genuine commitment to going above & beyond, meticulous attention to detail, and outstanding communication skills. Countless times he called and messaged with me late in the evening (after hours) and over the weekend. As their website states, "JRA Health excels in managing high-risk, complex therapies that require careful oversight and meticulous planning," and this very much rang true in practice. For physicians and clinics seeking a reliable partner for patients requiring specialized infusion therapies, JRA Health delivers on their promise of "precision and compassion in infusion care." Their expertise in handling complex cases, combined with their commitment to timely delivery and personalized service, makes them truly invaluable for both prescribers and patients. If you're looking for an infusion pharmacy that truly understands complex care coordination, is super detail oriented, conscientious, kind, and compassionate, I cannot recommend the team at JRA Health highly enough. I'm beyond grateful my colleague recommended them, my experience as a patient has been incredible; and I'm thankful their amazing team will be filling my standing order moving forward.

Ramp to the sidewalk leads to steps in both directions. I'm in a wheelchair . Office Staff said yea, no one ever knows how to get in and they don't know why they don't have signs. My daughter used the stairs and found out I needed to go in the street and enter through a side entrance where they have a single wheelchair lift inside. Then we find out although their Website says they accept my insurance, they don't. The receptionist says everyone tells them that they accept this insurance but they do not. Said no one can ever show her where it says that they do, like somehow we all imagine it. Within 30 seconds showed her and yes, says it right there. Not like it would change anything but now maybe they can change it. Still, my insurance no longer accepts my previous doctor and my new doctor can't see me for 3 months. I have multiple sclerosis and need medication and new handicap placard. $220 for a visit plus any tests they need, but I have no choice, I have to see someone. I paid the fee. While waiting to be called back, they let me know they can't fill out a form for placard. Initially it was because they didn't have a form. Then it was because although they have the placard required MD ( as opposed to DO, NP, etc) they are not authorized to fill out the form. By then I gave up. It shouldn't be this hard. When we were leaving, the receptionist pointed at the lift I should use so I didn't have to go in the street around the bank to use the outdoor ramp. Never used one like this before . The ramp was steep and I was nervous about tipping back but my daughter helped me use it. Not any offer of any assistance. This place was empty. A walk in clinic with no one in or out the 30 minutes we were there. I think I know why lol. The receptionist was polite. Just unhelpful. As she was aware of all of these issues, one would think someone would do something to resolve them.

I have referred several friends since starting at awaken and think it is just the best. The office is always super warm and the staff is so friendly. The staff make the visit very pleasant each time I arrive and leave. Dr. Shane and Dr. Brittany do a wonderful job at explaining treatment, offering advice and helping restore you body's as much as they can. During your first several months they will do x-rays and do nerve assessments to make sure your body is progressing and if it is not they will work on your specific areas that may need more attention. I also love the fact that they are not mask crazies! They are a religious family and play music that is uplifting and friendly for people of all families. This business is an ideal place to bring your family and you know it will be SAFE for everyone. I never feel out-of-place at this local business and feel they do it wonderfully! This is a business that goes above and beyond for their community and gives back to the City of Gainesville in everything they do! I can't recommend this place enough and for sure think you should check it out if your need chiropractor care.
