My daughter in law was unfortunately taken by ambulance to this care center and she received anything but care. Poor interaction, medical staff that is preoccupied with everything but providing a nurturing and supportive environment and just plain horrid temperaments of ALL staff members. This facility should be ashamed of themselves. Take the 7-minute ride to HCA Doctors and you will not regret it. Literally wouldn't take my near death 11-year old dog here if it had only hours left to breathe on this planet.

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 was recently sent to this facility by the 3rd party vendor used by a large company for employment…read morepurposes. The physical required was quite thorough and intense as per the requirements of the company hiring (they pay for this medical visit). I was impressed at how the process moved along and there was no down time waiting in rooms between required exams (eye, hearing, EKG, chest x-ray, blood and urine work-!). I was also very impressed when this facility reached out to me a few days after all these tests to let me know one of the tests was showing a reading for high cholesterol. Now, the 3rd party vendor in charge of requiring all these exams didn't bother to tell me about this result, because I guess it was not an area they cared about as much as things like clearing the drug test. The 3rd party vendor let me know about 2 minor things I had to clear for employment purposes, but never mentioned the cholesterol result. Sitting here now I can say I am really impressed with the integrity of this medical facility to care enough about the person going through the intense round of medical requirements to give them some useful information even though they are getting paid by the 3rd party vendor and really could probably just skate by forwarding the info directly to them and not bothering to inform the person who was sent there by the 3rd party vendor. Everyone was very professional and good their job. I would highly recommend this place for care and their prices are posted on a sign right out in the lobby so you know what you are looking at for drop in or urgent care walk in services.

Others just want to get the job done and send you on your way. Overall, it's a great facility and I highly recommend it.

Doctors, Managers and Clients keep blaming the Staff for their incompetence. There are past employees still waiting for paychecks owed to them and there 2018 W2's so they can file their taxes. This Company is not even paying their company business bills on time either. I don't know how this place manages to stay in business. The Owners and Managers just don't seem to care enough to do the RIGHT THING!!!!!!!!!!!!. I don't even know how this place is getting a 3 STAR????????????????. This place is a ZERO STAR. The Owners don't even have the integrity to read the reviews on this page and address the issues themselves. Original Post, This Company was recently bought out by a group of Physicians. I don't know how it was run prior to that, but I can definitely tell you that the problem with this Company falls on the Owners and the Managers of this Company, not the STAFF. I personally know a few of their employees and they tell me what goes on in their offices. Low level employees that work in the Medical Field are frequently blamed for the down falls of the Owners and Managers of these establishments. They are always short staffed (HIRE MORE SUPPORT STAFF!!!!!) The staff are usually underpaid and under appreciated by the The Owners, The Managers, Customers and even the Doctors. This is why they are always losing good employees, not just the ones they FIRE!!!! I don't know her last name, but the Manager Gaby is very young and lacks the maturity required for this position. She really does not know what she is doing and is very UNPROFESSIONAL with the Staff that she is in charge of supervising. Just like the Owners and HR Gaby is quick to blame the staff for their own incompetence. My advise to the Owners, HR and Gaby are be professional, treat your STAFF FAIRLY and with RESPECT!!!!!! Also address the problems you are having with your Clients and your Staff fairly as well. (Owners) the stories that your Clients, Doctors and Gaby are telling you are not always the TRUTH or the FACTS!!!! I hope this review clears up a lot of things for anyone thinking of going to this place.
