After losing my health insurance, I eventually found Walden. This was a blessing because it…read moreafforded me basic health care for an affordable price. TBH, this might be the best primary care I've ever actually experienced, including times when I did have health insurance. They charge me a monthly membership fee. I have been able to get care for various things, like when I had Covid, or when I needed lab work, & also dealing with GAD. Staff is amazing. Staff at the front desk is always friendly. It's a friendly and pleasant place to go. I've never waited longer than ten minutes in the waiting room. They are located downtown, just a couple minutes from the square. I really like SHELBY ALLEN, their Nurse Pract. I've seen her multiple times, she makes me feel really comfortable and she is wicked smart. I strongly recommend Walden to anyone in Ocala. And if you generally hate going to a doctors office, or find it stressful, Walden will probably change that for you.

When I heard about direct primary care, I thought, "That could make things a lot better." When I heard Ocala had it, and for reasonable prices, I signed up. Let's just start with the model: What a concept! A doctor that gets to know you, that responds to your needs, and that is available! No month-long waiting. No copays. No wondering if this or that is going to be covered. No need to go in if it's not a big deal, and you can find out if it's a big deal or not with a text message. Direct Primary Care is a breakthrough in our otherwise broken health care system. If you don't have it, then find a way to get it. Now, let's talk about Dr. Steed. Warm and funny from the word "go", Dr. Steed puts you at ease, but also is unafraid to tell you what you need to hear. My five children do not mind going to the doctor at all, because Dr. Steed is kind and empathetic, ready to laugh and even have fun with his patients. His staff goes above and beyond to make office visits convenient, and everyone in the office is friendly and accommodating. If there is something concerning me, I send a message on my Spruce app, send pictures, etc. I usually hear back from Dr. Steed or a member of his staff in a very short time. No worried waiting. And so far, he's been able to take care of everything. So we are a very satisfied family. I highly recommend that you look into direct primary care and sign up with Walden. They are making the health care system better, and they're doing it by treating their patients with care and respect.

I was referred her by my pediatrician after my daughter developed symptoms of pink eye. We arrived about 7pm, waited for about 15 mins, and then were escorted to an exam room. The lady who took us back was so rough with our daughter trying to get her vitals. She couldn't get a good reading for her oxygen or blood pressure and even struggled with getting her temperature. She eventually gave up and said the Doctor didn't really need it. After about 10 mins, the Doctor came in. He was so rough with my daughter. He was grabbing her face so hard. He looked at her so quickly I don't think he could even make a proper diagnosis. He just went based off of what we said as her parents. Definitely wouldn't recommend for patients with babies. The pictures are 2 days after her appt. Bruise is still dark and is the shape of a fingertip.

I was deeply disappointed by how this healthcare company handled its patients and staff before and…read moreafter bankruptcy. After years of building trust within the community, the company went bankrupt and sold to CenterWell Senior Primary Care, leaving many longtime patients -- especially veterans relying on Tricare as their primary insurance -- feeling abandoned. Veterans who served this country deserved continuity of care and transparency, not sudden disruption and uncertainty. Many patients had established relationships with their doctors for years, only to find themselves scrambling to locate new providers and navigate insurance confusion during an already stressful transition. What makes this even more frustrating is that public statements during the sale process suggested patients would continue to have access to their insurance coverage under the new ownership structure. Yet many patients later experienced uncertainty or loss of access depending on their plan participation and contract negotiations. The bankruptcy itself was tied to massive Medicare billing discrepancies reportedly totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. Unfortunately, it feels like the people who paid the price were the patients -- particularly seniors and veterans who depended on stable healthcare access. Healthcare organizations should prioritize patient care and loyalty during transitions, not leave vulnerable populations feeling discarded. I sincerely hope veterans and affected patients receive the support and continuity of care they deserve moving forward.
