Patient Recommendation for Dr. Mahnaz Qayyum, M.D…read more Dr. Qayyum has been my primary care physician since she opened her practice nine years ago, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and attentive doctors I've ever known. She has guided me through everything from my first case of COVID to severe respiratory infections--despite the fact that I've never smoked. Her approach is always thoughtful and science-based, choosing the most effective treatments without relying on unnecessary medications. Dr. Qayyum is board-certified in Family Medicine, with medical training in New Jersey and an academic background from King's College, University of London. She combines clinical excellence with a holistic approach, helping her patients achieve better health, manage weight, and enhance their overall well-being through customized, preventative care. From day one, she has shown a sincere interest in my whole-person health--listening carefully, addressing every concern with patience, and making sure I understand each step of my care. Her unique ability to pair medical expertise with genuine empathy has made a lasting difference in my life. Dr. Qayyum also provides exceptional care to my wife, Diane, with the same dedication and kindness. While Diane will share her own experience, I can confidently say that having a doctor we trust so deeply brings us tremendous peace of mind. I am truly grateful to be under Dr. Qayyum's care. She is a rare gem in today's healthcare world, and I recommend her wholeheartedly. I HAVE NO PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATION WITH THIS DOCTOR. With appreciation, Maria Florence Oliverio, M.S., ESE-VE Exceptional Student Education Teacher (ESE) - Osceola County.

Traffic was worse than normal so we arrived at 11:20a. We walked in and my wife nicely greeted the staff and said she wanted to do a walk in appt.

So we wasted our time driving 45min here and being treated and spoken to like trash. This place will never receive our business again and I would not recommend this place. I don't give business to businesses that have zero customer service skills and are rude like this woman was. Maybe you should reevaluate your staff if you actually want business from anyone in the future.

I've been to this doctor twice, once several years ago for a "Meet and Greet" visit, since you can…read morenot do your physical as your first visit and just last week due to a recovering foot injury. I am the first to admit that I do not enjoy going to the doctor, so I tried to see past some red flags. At this point though, despite Dr. Hitchcock seeming like a competent doctor I don't feel like I can deal with her practice long term. Making an Appointment- When I went to make my recent appointment, I utilized ZocDoc, an online service that Dr. Hitchcock's office utilizes. It makes no mention that this service should only be utilized by new patients. In fact, I selected that I was a returning patient during the registration process and the system allowed me to make an appointment. Since using an online system was new to me, I ended up calling to see if there was any updated paperwork that I needed to submit. During this call Sharon/Shari, the receptionist was incredibly rude. First, she chided me for using the online system as it was for new patients only. Again, there was no mention of this online so I felt it was extremely uncalled for for her to fault me for having made this appointment. She kept going on about it and eventually I just asked her to make me an appointment for the same time and date, which she did. I'm not sure what difference it made on her end, but for some reason it did. Something I knew from my prior visit was that with Dr. Hitchcock's office your first visit is considered a consultation/meet and greet. She'll address any issues but you will have to pay a copay, etc. as normal. If you have a free physical through your insurance, you can not do that for your first visit. It is an office policy that I feel is somewhat of a "nickel and dime" strategy. I asked Sharon to explain what the difference was between the physical and the consult appointment and she got really flustered and then just transferred me and said she couldn't help me anymore. Again, incredibly odd and uncalled for. Tiffany, the girl I spoke to next was a lot nicer and also provided a great explanation on the difference between appointments. Visit/Waiting Room- Dr. Hitchcock's office is on the second floor of the Phoenica Center, behind Barnes and Noble/Bonefish on Sandlake. The waiting room is very nice and comfortable, which is good because you will probably spend a lot of time in there. I waited about 45 minutes past my scheduled appointment. Visit/Appointment- The actual time I spent with Dr. Hitchcock was fine, although brief. An assistant took some basic information about why I was there before Dr. Hitchcock came in and then we ran through the things I wanted to discuss. I feel she was knowledgeable and gave me options for my concerns and the information I needed. Followup- This is an area that is a bit frustrating for me. I received a couple prescriptions as well as instructions for having blood work and an x-ray done. After completing the x-ray, I wanted to followup about if it had been received and reviewed. I also had a question regarding a prescription, so I called and emailed the medical assistant per the website. Unfortunately the response I got was to come in for another appointment. To me, that is unacceptable. While I'd be completely willing to come in if there was follow up needed off of the results or a new condition/complication that had arisen, it seems silly to me to spend my time and money on another appointment to ask a question about a prescription that was just prescribed to me. Again, I felt that the "nickel and dime" strategy was coming into play. All in all, while Dr. Hitchcock seems like a well-informed doctor, dealing with office policies and attitudes may be a little too much for me to handle long term.

Prior to the appointment I called BCBS of FL to…read moreconfirm the visit was fully covered as preventative care and therefore no payment required even as I had not met my annual deductible. I was told by insurance company this was the case. I then called Pressleys office who also confirmed same. Had the physical ... Everything was good. I was in excellent shape and healthiest I'd been in years. In the 2 years prior I dad undergone an ACL reconstruction and hernia ops. All had gone well and he asked me how the knee was as I'd had another clean up surgery a few months prior. He also said my bloodwork was great and I was very healthy. A few weeks later ... I received a bill. I called the office and was told that "seeing as though we had DISCUSSED the results of the Physical it became a chargeable visit." I asked why i was told this was a fully covered visit by ins company and the Drs office when I had called prior to the visit. I was told that if we had not DISCUSSED the results of the Physical it would not have been chargeable !!!! Are you kidding me ? ... What is the point of having a physical and bloodwork if you can't discuss the results ? I was extremely unhappy and after calling the ins co and dr was informed, TOUGH !! that's just the way it is. No one mentioned this upfront that you can have a physical so long as you don't find out or discuss the results. I had gone out of my way to pre-approve this AND I was in great health anyway. A few weeks later a family member was admitted to hospital after a serious complication. Dr Pressley ended up being the attending physician. I was informed that he was a caring Dr so I explained the situation. He showed absolutely no interest. Simply couldn't care less. This Dr is only interested in money. Avoid like the plague. His office will charge you for even being alive. I had done my due diligence and was still ripped off. After multiple calls to Dr and Ins. co. I got so stressed out it simply wasn't worth it. So I paid the bill and moved on. I'll leave it to Karma with unscrupulous people like this.

Then i asked them send it to my insurance company and I will pay the negotiated rate via the insurance company's portal like i do for all other healthcare bills, that way the money comes out of my HSA acct. However, they insisted I pay them via CC over the phone right then. And all this for $20 only. yes 20 bucks. Now it was a matter of principle. They spent obscene amount of time arguing w/me on multiple phones over 3 days. Meanwhile, logged into the Insurance company portal but the portal is programmed to go back no more the 12 mos. I know I have no outstanding bills of any kind then how could i miss. I called the Insurance company and they said they will research and let me know if 2-3 days. Meanwhile, they called me everyday for 3 days for the$20. Day 3 United Health rep called and conferenced in their payment processing company InstaMed. Instamed confirmed they electronically sent the $20 and change to their back that was processed and cleared. And look at this co-incidence --while I'm on the phone the doc office called again for their $20, I am quickly merged the call into my current call w/United+Instamed. InstaMed clarified to the Doc's office manager re. they payment being sent and confirmed their back' acknowledgment. Doc's office still insisted on evidence from Instamed, which they faxed in the next 10m. This docs' office is totally dishonest and double bill threatening and probably collecting from unsuspecting poor and ppl that may not have the resources or ability to fight.
