My wife has literally had 5 different primary care doctors in the last 2 years because the doctors leave this organization. And recently they have ended their affiliation with Aetna after we paid and set this up through the marketplace and recently informed us that we need to switch care to other doctors. They gave us 30 days to make this switch!!! We have been with them for 14 years. My entire family. Do you how much work and difficulty this creates for patients. They probably have 100's and 100's of patients they are basically kicking out of their network. It's truly disgusting.

FYI, (Follow up) I recently complained how I was told I was no longer a patient at Intercoastal…read moreafter an office visit. While during that office visit I complained of severe stomach pains and was told a CT scan was being ordered. They never called, I then had a 102 temp, I emailed the Dr. And explained that after a disagreement about $ I was told I no longer was a patient but for 30 days he was still my Dr. For emergency. Well I ended up in the ER, with a ruptured appendix and a Mass the size of a watermelon. I could have died since my appendix ruptured a week prior (when I was at Dr) but was saved by my body forming a mass around the appendix holding in infection. I informed intercoastal that I was in the hospital, not one person or even my Dr. of 9 years called or checked on me. I was left alone. Unforgivable

I pretty much agree with most of these comments here about what poor quality healthcare you get at…read moreintercoastal. I find it hysterical that my endocrinologist Dr Wende Kozlow fired me although I had had enough of the disrespect in mistreatment from them and I was moving on to a better doctor anyway. I tried many times to get them to give me test results when I get blood work or test and it takes minimum of 10 days before they answer you they lie to you and tell you that they don't get the results. I find it hard to believe that Sarasota hospital does not send them the results And only them because two of my other doctors got their results 10 days sooner. They must be on the crap list for Sarasota memorial that they don't get their results because there's no other explanation that they're the only ones that don't get them ever. They don't care about you and your health. Don't ever say something to the effect of "I'm sure the doctor cares more about my health then to let me suffer and not call me back and that got me fired. I didn't accuse them. I said I'm sure you don't want me to suffer. That's a lot different than accusing them of making me suffer, but I got fired which was the best thing that could've ever happened to me don't go there cause you are nothing to them. They don't care about you as a person. I have multiple health problems in desperate need of an endocrinologist and she refers me back to my family doctor that's how much they care! She was a fairly good doctor, but her office staff sucks! They're the ones who made the mess out of this. They're the ones that don't call me back and they are the ones who are very rude all the time! Save you the stress when you when you need a doctor and find a better place than intercoastal!!!! Your office staff can make you or break you in this case they definitely will break you! Not only is this my problem with them, but they asked me to have records sent to them because of my multiple problems. The pile of 9 x 12 records was over a foot high and they shredded them! Came all away from Ohio and they shredded them! Again crappy office staff! A doctor is not supposed to ever destroy records for 10 years but yet they destroyed all the ones that I paid to have sent to them! Cost me a lot of money that's how much they care about you! I can't say enough bad about them. I've had so many bad experiences. All I can say is beware there's so many other better doctors here in this town. Good luck.

I was a patient of Dr. Jessica Thomas, who is part of the Beneva Family Practice within…read moreIntercoastal Medical Group at Beneva, for well over a year. She has zero personality, does not listen and outright lied to me about refilling a much needed anti-panic medication during an extremely stressful time for me. At my July 2025 appointment with her (a nearly $500 dollar out-of-pocket visit!) she refused to refill my medication until I had blood tests completed, promising to do so once she got the results. After spending $200 plus for testing, she denied me a second time. I was told I needed yet another appointment even though I had just seen her the month prior. She comes off as bored, uncaring and impatient. She's condescending when asked questions and does not listen to concerns. I don't remember a single time she's made eye contact with me. Nothing that's she's done during my time under her "care" has proven otherwise. She's simply a worker bee for the machine to make them money without a second thought to how much it costs the patient. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from her!

Discharged Without Notice -- Serious Communication Failure…read more I was very disappointed with Intercoastal Medical Group, Beneva Road. My doctor discharged me without any notice, even though I am 80 years old, and had been on prescribed medication from their office for a long time. Without renewal, there is a risk of serious health consequences. Communication was also difficult, and when I tried to discuss my concerns, I was told they don't share email contacts for managers or doctors. I hope Intercoastal Medical will take greater responsibility for continuity of care and clearer communication with patients.

Should be pretty easy,…read moreright..Well when I went to pick up the medication he prescribed, pharmacist says, 'this is your first time being on anything like this, isn't it. Well this dose is high and Dr should have started you off at half this and worked your way up to see if you could tolerate it' So I call and speak with his nurse Sara and ask her if he could lower it and explain what pharmacy said. She asks Dr.Powell and he said that what he called in is what I need and he was not changing it. So all night I am throwing up and having heart palpitations feeling like I'm having a heart attack, because of the strong side effects! Now I have worse anxiety because I'm gun shy to take anything else. I am not impressed with his doctoring skills if he can't even do something this simple.

First physicians Group has several doctors working in the practice providing general medical care…read moreand consultations. It's located next to Sarasota memorial hospital. There is a parking garage and also valet parking if you prefer. My appointment with Dr. Shah almost always runs on time. I rate Dr. shah as an excellent doctor. He doesn't rush me and takes the time to do a thorough consultation. The only reason I am not giving five stars is because of how difficult it is to get through to this office on the phones. It can sometimes take over an hour of waiting. They do offer a call back service but if you miss that then you have to start all over again. Given how busy they are and how many doctors they have, they should really employ more people for the phones. It's often quicker to drive there and speak to the front desk than it is to call in.

Dr. Asi took my call on a Saturday morning and saw me in his office in less than an hour to drain the excess fluid that resulted in immediate pain relief. But this wasn't the best part. He worked ordered tests to determine the root cause of this excess inflammation and built a customized plan to put me on a path so I can thrive and live my best life in my 60's. None of this would have happened this quickly with a visit to a typical urgent care. I am forever grateful for his dedication to my health and responsiveness to my needs. Lastly, I also fondly recall being in my optometrist's office and needing information from Precision health's office, and I said "Let me call my doctor" to which the optometrist replied "that will take forever". The look of surprise on my optometrist's face when over the speaker phone my call was answered on the first ring and the answer needed was delivered immediately. Concierge medicine is definitely worth it for me!
