They rarely answer phones She's very difficult to understand Makes you sit in room for at least 20 minutes sometimes longer Never gives invoice, our last invoice we received was handed to us by her assistant who knew our balances were 30-60 days past due and apologized She doubled her office visit as soon as I was on Humana. When on UHC it was $125 and Humana is $250. Don't recommend her at all She gets a 1 star because of her staff read more

NO NO NO AND H*** NO!! In my experience and opinion; Avoid this doctor at all cost. Lazy, Rude,Horrible Staff, Went only because Dr. of record with insurance. Dr. Shoba refused to discuss why I was there- insisted I had to establish new patient visit- reschedule in two weeks- with injury to arm that I had been waiting to see Dr. for a month already. A 30 minute visit, she sat across the room, never laid a finger on me for anything, never looked at my arm from within 20 feet, and would not listen when discussing prior medications and never once raised her eyes from the computer screen in which she was staring. Once visit over, called office everyday for a week, left messages on voice mail asking a call be returned regarding prescriptions and increased loss of motion and pain regarding arm to this day never received call back! On the 10th and final call to the office- the front desk person answered (who was really nice but either over worked, behind schedule or just doesn't really care) only to be put off again. Contacted insurance carrier, requested change of Primary Care, filed complaint and contacted the AMA. In MY OPINION ONLY- this practice is one of the worst I have seen in a long time. read more

MESSAGE TO JIM S. from Napperville, IL with a bad experience at Bond Clinic; no one called him back…read moreafter leaving several messages. Jim, Bond Clinic now has a "PATIENT ADVOCATE" at BOND CLINIC. You call (863) 293-1191; press o. Ask the operator to transfer you to the "PATIENT ADVOCATE". She will handle everything. You will get a phone call back from her/and/or the receptionist of your MD so you can make your appointment. Originally from MA; I went to MA GENERAL HOSPITAL, lived in IL for 31 years going to Northwestern Hospital and now in FL for 13 years. FL MD/CLINICS have shorter days they work; Fridays work until 12Noon. There is very little strictness on how MD practices are run unless the MD demands it. Up NORTH, we healthcare practitioners are held to higher standards. Living in paradise, surrounded by beautiful oceans, beaches and great weather is the trade off. Hang In There. Nancy P.

If this review can convince just one person not go to Bond Clinic - at least the one at 500 E…read moreCentral Ave in Winter Haven, FL - I will not have written this in vain. This is my experience. I initially went there in June of this year. I had to go back for blood work, and while sitting in the waiting area, I noticed at least ten of the many chairs there had cracked vinyl and stuffing protruding out of them. These were not very high quality chairs to begin with. Once I went in to get my lab work done, the area where they were doing labs had the same dilapidated chairs. I went to use the restroom to get a urine sample. it was disgusting. The baseboards were old and filthy. The instruction signs were printed on paper that was crinkled and stained. It was around 10 am and the trash can was already full. The soap dispenser, water faucet, paper towel dispenser, and light switch all had to be touched manually - nothing was motion activated. (It's 2025.) There was also no pass thru window to place samples. I had to walk around with my urine and ask someone where to put it. I contacted the patient advocate for Bond Clinic and informed her of my experience, and she said that Bond Clinic would be merging (?) with Advent Health and she couldn't guarantee what changes might be occurring. Now this might be the icing on the cake. POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING: I'm a 60 year old woman in good health and have been going to the gynecologist for decades. The last doctor I had was amazing, but sadly this year my insurance changed so I could no longer see him. I will try to put this delicately. In recent years - perhaps with advancements in technology - and possibly the expertise of the mostly good doctors I've been fortunate to have - I've usually had a pap smear that was uncomfortable for just a few seconds and then it was over. Enter my new gynecologist at Bond Clinic. She seemed nice at first. I won't name her, but she has an Eastern European accent and said that she was trained in France. Anyway, she does her business down there - and it felt like she put one of those little metal clamps that hold paper together inside of me. But, it gets better. This b$!ch leaves it in there for like 90 seconds while she goes back and forth to a little cart and is pumping something. I almost felt like crying, but anger won out - even though I was able to remain calm and keep my mouth shut. I vowed I would never go back there again. Thankfully I was able to change my doctors with my insurance. I pray that no one ever has to go through what I went through. They clearly have no regard for their patients or even their employees.

Today is a day in which we give THANKS....& I can't thank TLC Family Practice enough for Amanda…read moreWaters, MSN,APRN-C! My first time having a Dr/Nurse interactions other than the ER. With my experience, Drs are very condescending, impatient & don't listen. Not here! With each visit, Amanda displayed such compassion, care, concern, empathy, patience, attentiveness & understanding. She took such care & concern & asked questions! Amanda actually showed that she cared, unlike other drs that i had experienced, & took the time to understand & diagnose the ailment. Each medical issue I had, she addressed & resolved with the correct treatment! There's no room for doubt or questions because Amanda is so thorough. She gives a whole new meaning to dotting ur I's & crossing ur 'T's! She was 'Johnny on the spot' after learning of my chest pains I previously experienced & did due diligence in addressing it.Without reservation or hesitation & with due diligence leaving no stone unturned, with compassion, care & concern, each medial issue was addressed. Now, I can off my medical concerns because of Amanda Waters off each of hers! Happy Thanksgiving Amanda Waters! Oh yes, I also give thanks to Chomyon, who fought tooth & nail with my insurance company! Chomyon never gave up & never gave in! Initially my insurance company refused to pay for a monthly mediation that I needed to take costing $450 month (with discount). Now, Chomoyn's due diligence & persistence, I am only paying $25! & Lastly, I give thanks for the entire TLC Team! With each visit, there was a smile, concern, compassion & attentiveness & a spirit of: "How May I Help You"! From friendly reminders to making appointments to receiving payments always with a smile & a patient & caring . Now...I almost look forward to getting sick! (Not;) They say, "Love Is A Healing Agent"...TLC Family Practice definitely lives up to its name! Thank you TLC Family Practice for showing me TLC! Happy Thanksgiving!

His staff are all very nice and his medical assistants go above and beyond to help with medication or insurance issues. I highly recommend Dr Delikat for patients who are looking for a physician with a calm demeanour and a gentle bedside manner. So many physicians are forced to rush patients in and out as quickly as possible that they are not able to be thorough and make a patient feel reassured that their health and concerns are a priority. Dr Delikat is not that kind of doctor. If you are a fast paced individual and you want to go to your appointment and be in and out as fast as drive thru service....this is not the doctor for you.

Beautiful Vibes, Questionable Diagnosis…read more After extensive research, I chose Dream Dental Dentistry because of its glowing online reviews. I walked in expecting top-tier care. What I got was... an experience. Let's break it down. Lounge Area 10/10 on aesthetics. The waiting area is beautifully decorated, the chairs are comfortable, and the music was great. It felt more like a trendy lounge than a dental office. Clean, modern, thoughtfully designed. Honestly, if vibes could clean teeth, this place would be elite. Receptionist Hillary at the front desk was fantastic, friendly, warm, and genuinely welcoming. First impressions matter, and she absolutely delivered. Other Staff The team seemed happy and upbeat. At one point it felt like karaoke hour in the best way. You can tell the staff enjoys working together. The energy is light and positive, which is refreshing in a dental setting. Bathroom Clean and well-maintained. No complaints there. The Exam Process Here's where things shifted. The exam involved an excessive number of photos from multiple angles, tools holding my mouth open, extended time under bright lights. I understand documentation is important, but there was little explanation during the process. When I asked questions about what was going on, the responses felt vague and rushed. Then came the big reveal. The Diagnosis & Treatment Plan Instead of receiving the routine cleaning I scheduled, I was told my teeth were in poor condition and that I needed a more involved (and more expensive) procedure not covered by my insurance. The conversation felt less like healthcare guidance and more like a sales presentation. The focus seemed to shift toward upselling rather than addressing my primary reason for coming in. Dr. Carolina Londono did not come across as reassuring or transparent to me. Trust is huge in healthcare, and I simply didn't feel it in that moment. Second Opinion The next day, I went to my previous provider for a second opinion. Completely different experience. They disagreed with the assessment, performed a standard cleaning fully covered by insurance, and did not find the severe issues I was warned about. That contrast spoke volumes. Trust & Bedside Manner For me, bedside manner is about clarity, transparency, and feeling like your provider is advocating for your health, not your wallet. While the office excels in atmosphere and friendliness, I left feeling uneasy rather than confident. Final Thoughts Dream Dental absolutely wins on ambiance, music, and aesthetics. If I were reviewing it as a coworking space, it might get five stars. But when it comes to dental care, trust outweighs décor every time. If something feels off, get a second opinion. There are other trustworthy dental offices out there. I ended up going back to mine, and I'm glad I did. Read the reviews, but also listen to your instincts.

I was informed that because I am not considered an "established patient," I am unable to schedule Friday appointments, which I'm off Fri/ Sat. I was also told that since I haven't been going there over two years, I cannot be accommodated for a same-day sick visit. While I understand office policies, the way this was communicated felt unhelpful and discouraging. The front desk experience makes it difficult to continue care here. I had to go to an urgent care instead, so I also made an appointment for a primary at the new place since even tho it was my first time there, I do not have to be established to be seen right away.
