Dr. Meyers retired! Sad time as he was the only person keeping me at this practice because he truly cared for his patients. He just didn't write scripts for unnecessary prescriptions or tests. He took time with each patient and you could truly see his care. Now it's been a little while since I've been as I typically only go for my routine exams for prescription renewals. Keep in mind I've been coming here for years and I've also been on the same meds for longer than I've been coming here. I called a few weeks ago to schedule my routine exam and was told at that time that they'd send a note to the nurse practitioner for my script refills since I booked my appointment. They'd also get my blood work script out to my home address as I'd need to get that done about a week or two before my visit. Today I called because no script received to date and I was notified by my pharmacy that my script refill was denied. Spoke to the receptionist who informed me that the nurse denied my refills because she wanted to see me first. Also informed that she didn't approve my blood work because she needs to meet with me to determine what I actually need. Keep in mind I only have 10 days worth of meds left so irritated I explained that this was absurd. I cannot just simply stop taking my meds for weeks while the nurse determines next steps. I've been on these for years and there's been no change to my health to indicate it's ok to stop taking and even the warning on the meds state to not stop taking unless consultation with a doctor which I've had no consultation or tests to confirm it is ok to stop taking. In looking through my file she noticed that I was coded as a new patient so she explained since that wasn't correct she'd send my file back through to see if she'd approve. Today I just couldn't take it anymore and changed due to my experience. I just had enough and switched to another practitioner. I should not have to deal with the mere stress of this. I mean come on! read more

Meet my doctor, Dr. Stephen Meyer from the Sun Lake Family Practice up in Lutz, Florida. Dr. Meyer used to be part of a larger medical group located on Linebaugh Avenue in the Carrollwood area, but he moved his practice up north last year to support a base of patients on the north side of Tampa, and I elected to drive the extra 15-20 minutes to stay as his patient. Sun Lake is a part of the same medical family as the former Northwest Family Medical Center on Linebaugh, and so it was quite easy transferring my chart up to the new office. Dr. Meyer is now located in the Sun Lake Professional Center which is north on Dale Mabry, past the northern end of the Veterans, past Calusa Trace, past Cheval......start watching for the cows on both sides of the road.....and there he is on the left in a small professional office complex. Dr. Meyer has been a family practitioner since 1989, and was an Army General Medical Officer in Desert Shield and Desert Storm before that. He is extremely knowledgeable, very personable, and really takes the time to get to know his patients. It's not uncommon to spend an extra few minutes talking about a new exercise program that I can use while traveling, or discussing the medicinal benefits of various types of hot tea, or even the details on that really good restaurant that I discovered last weekend. The mission statement in the examination rooms really says it all, "To provide the most compassionate and best quality care possible for each individual in order to enhance his or her quality of life. This includes not only physical care but also spiritual, mental, and educational support." That really says it all for me, and it explains why I will continue to go out of my way to see Dr. Meyer. read more

I was a patient here for 5 years and was happy with Dr. Meyer. Unfortunately, since he passed this place has gone down hill and they don't care about their patients at all. I have a prescription I have been on for 11 years that is unsafe to miss doses for. (It's not an opiate or narcotic.) They didn't respond to my pharmacy's request for refill so I called them and they said it was because I needed to come in for an office visit. But this was the first I heard of it since they didn't reach out to tell me this. So I asked if they could give me at least one refill so my prescription wouldn't lapse and they refused until I came in to see them. The nurse practitioner should know that it's unsafe to miss a dose but she didn't care and only wanted the money from an office visit. Absolutely despicable and negligent. DO NOT GOT TO THIS DOCTOR! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS! read more

I can't share much of my experience with this physician other than the office scheduled me for a 9:30 a.m. appointment and asked that I be there by 9:15 to complete the required paperwork. I arrived promptly at 9:15, completed my paperwork and proceeded to wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. At 9:50 I asked when I would be seen for my 9:30 a.m. appointment and was told it would probably be an hour. As a professional I understand doctors are busy, but so am I. It is unreasonable to me to schedule an appointment for 9:30 just to wait for an hour to be seen. The whole reason we schedule appointments in life is so we can manage our time. Unfortunately I had a 10:30 a.m. telephone meeting and had to cancel my appointment. This doctor could be the best in the world, I wouldn't know, because I didn't have the luxury of waiting for more than an hour past my scheduled appointment time to wait to see him. I do know if your time is valuable, and if you don't have the time to wait for an hour or more to be seen by a doctor, this physician probably isn't the one for you. read more

Have been a patient of Dr Meyer for over 14 yrs. A professional and a heart for his patients. wait times have always been an issue because he takes the time to listen and communicate. Recently some things have changed, scheduling being the most important. The down side of that is it may take longer to see him. RC read more

Dr Meyer is an amazing man and makes this world a better place. Ive yet to hear (in 8 yrs) a patient say anything bad about him. I see some people say negative things in reviews but that is what negative people do. You may have to wait a little in this office but it is because Dr Meyer spend time with each patient. I know Dr Meyer cares for me, my wife and my daughter. Having a Doc I can trust and who has respect for what he is doing and for his station in life means everything! read more

I've been going to Dr. Meyers for 4 years now. I first met him while detoxing as an in- patient for drug abuse. He turned my life around, and with the combination of treatment, a great support system, and Dr, Meyers, I am back working again and so grateful for the life I now have. Dr. Meyers will sit with you, cry with you, do so many ways of letting you know that he cares. I owe a great part of my life to him. KG read more

Dr. Meyer has been my primary Internist for over six years... He is the best Dr. I have ever had. He listens, doesn't mind spending extra time with me to understand and adress all of my medical concerns or questions on any given visit. Dr. Meyer is so smart and he seems to know everything and can explain it all so well. Also Iesha and Nina on his staff are amazing people. They both have the same caring attitude that Dr. Meyer has. I would recommend Dr. Meyer to anybody needing an internist. Beth P. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Meyer for about 5 years, and he is always professional and caring. His only fault may be he spends too much time with his patients, which can be a little annoying if you are waiting beyond your appt. time. But, you can get around this by being the first or second appt. for the day. He always listens, and is always looking out for the best solutions to his patients ailment or problem. I would recommend him very highly, if you want a compassionate, and caring family physician. read more

I had the BEST experience here. The Receptionists in the doctors office are very friendly and caring. Doctor Meyer and Mrs. Bennett are very patient, understanding, friendly, and personable. Would recommend. read more

Dr Meyer is a wonderful doctor who will listen to you and let you ask questions. Yes, that does take time and you will have to wait, but once you get in you don't get rushed out and in my opinion, that is worth waiting for from a doctor. The staff is nice too. I am very blessed to have found a doctor what will listen and let me make decisions about my health care. read more

Dr. Meyer was my physician when he was practicing in Tallahassee, FL at Capital Health Plan. I recently moved to Dunedin, FL, and remembered that he had moved to the greater Tampa area when he left Tallahassee. I immediately looked him up when I got to town, when looking for a primary care physician. Driving the 30 minutes up to Lutz does not even phase me knowing the type of care and attention I get from Dr. Meyer. He is truly one of a kind and provides impeccable care. I'm so fortunate to be under his care once again. read more

Been my Dr since I moved back to Tampa in 06. Only down side is wait can be long. But that seems to be any Dr I go to. He is the only Dr I have ever gone to that will spend the time needed to make sure you are satisfied. Since I have major medical problems this is important. I have had 40 min with the Dr when I had compartment syndrome. Which nearly killed me. read more
