Tom Terrific here with another honest review…read more I was in need of a new doctor as the diagnostic clinic was clsoing. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Faltas's office a month in advance. The office sent me all he papers to fill out ahead of time and i took 20 minutes to do that. On the day of my 10:15 am appointment I arrived at 10 am as they told me to come 15 minutes ahead of time. I walked in and no one greeted me. There was a staffer behind the window but she never said a word to me. I stood there for a minute but it didn't look like I was going to be told what to do. So I sat in one of their chairs in the waiting room. And I sat. After 49 minutes ( I timed it) someone came out and asked me my name. She had a mask on! I'm hard of hearing and I asked her to repeat the questions and she pulled down the mask. She said they would be with me shortly. I walked over to the staffer at the counter and said, "I'm Tom *******. I don't think this is the place for me. I'm leaving." When I got home there was a message on my landline. THEY ASKED ME IF I WAS COMING!!!! Looks like I dodged a bullet. Dr. Wael Faltas - NOT RECOMMENDED.

Ooops, I guess Dr. Faltas had too many patients or did not get paid enough by my insurance company…read more I was just getting to know him & he stopped taking insurance! I can understand that, I guess. What I can't understand, is him sending a goup to a specific doctor in Port Richey. That is our decision & right, not his place. What's a girl to do? Look for another pc doctor, don't you just hate changing them! Ps. Just changed insurance, maybe he takes that, naw not to bother got tired of inters sitting in on every visit.

Dr. Fortner is an amazing diagnostician. She doesn't waste time with unnecessary tests. She tries…read moreto get right down to the heart of the matter; as quickly as possible, to find out what's ailing you, or how to make you feel even more amazing in your own skin. I myself have been a patient for approximately twenty years. I became a patient of hers shortly after I left high school. She cares deeply about her patients, as do her office staff Caitlyn, Delores, & Kim. The people and atmosphere immediately make you feel welcome when you walk into her waiting area. The art and furniture on the walls in the waiting room & every exam room helps to distract anyone who has white coat syndrome. I only say this; because my Mom, who has been a patient of hers as for a little bit longer than I have calms down greatly, when she's in a room surrounded by art. Her blood pressure goes down greatly, when she something to pull her attention away from the medical aspects in the room around her. I can honestly say Dr. Fortner saved my life from surgical complications that my surgeon missed. In case running her own practice isn't impressive enough, she is also the Life Care Center of New Port Richey's medical director. Thanks to that position she was a part of my dad's medical team the last few weeks on this Earth as well. Her family is several generations Pasco deep and now she is this family's doctor and I hope it stays that way for a very long time. My Mom and I would not be here without her today. - L.N. Sullivan

I gave this office 3 chances. No wonder they do not accept any form of medicaid; they cannot adhere…read moreto their guidelines for customer service. The office staff is in capable of demonstrating any form of mediocre customer service; let alone, optimal, non-judgemental care. Instead, they treat you like a lesser human, embarrass you in front of other patients about private billing issues, admonish you to the point of threating to cancel your appointment for being 7 minutes late. Even though, my appointment was at 9am and the MD did not show up until 9:38 am that morning. He judges you for having a chronic illness and just not being able "to go to the gym and work out". I won't even discuss what happened last time I showed up for an appointment that they conveniently canceled! Not to mention, when the nurse looked at my online chart, she gave a disgusted huff!!! Is the office staff nasty to everyone? Or has my chart been specifically labeled to treat me like garbage, thus I leave the practice quietly because my illnesses are too difficult to manage and do not return? Why would a physician do that? Does the reason involve not wanting to complete my disability paperwork??? I know it is lengthy and time consuming, but I was run over by a truck as a pedestrian and have CRPS now. I cannot work as a nurse. Furthermore, I had an anaphylactic reaction to MSG in July. My daughter called 911 because I was blue and could not breath. The paramedics had to start an IV to give medications and oxygen. I negotiated with the paramedics that I would follow up with my primary care to save health care cost because they fixed me for the time being and the doctor's office opened 2 hours after they left my apartment. The office sent me away that day because I didn't have a mask! COVID-19 was lifted. Plus, just had an anaphylactic reaction and they knew that. Can you imagine?

Dr Mercer didn't listen to me at all, talked over me, and talked to my husband about my care…read moreinstead of me. She talked more about her own health problems than mine. She was very condescending, and she made a lot of untrue assumptions about my health and condition that she didn't give me any opportunity to correct. She told me, a prediabetic, not to monitor my levels or symptoms, because I would be getting diabetes anyway and I could "worry about it then." She told me I couldn't be depressed because I was "married and looked happy." When I told her a medication was ineffective for me, she argued with me that I didn't understand the medication. Meanwhile, there was evidence in my blood tests that it wasn't effective. She told me I needed to lose weight while completely disregarding the medical conditions that are contributing to that inability to lose weight. She told me "I don't even know your diet, but we need to change your diet." I am an ambulatory wheelchair user. She told me I was "too young to be in a wheelchair" while simultaneously asking no questions about what symptoms lead me to be in a wheelchair. She assumed the pain/weakness was in my legs because she never took a moment to ask where it was. It was my back. When I corrected her, she dismissed me. There is more, all negative, but these were the highlights. It was evident that she had made up her mind about me as soon as she saw my age, weight, and my wheelchair. She let her biases prevent her from actually engaging with me and the provided care clearly suffered because of that. On a more personal note, she was fully aware of my mother's terminal cancer before my appointment, because she has been involved in my mother's care as well. I am my mother's primary caregiver. She knew and verbally acknowledged the kind of stress that situation would put on a person. I told her I had been diagnosed with MDD and GAD. She was aware that I had the mental conditions and external circumstances to create a mentally and emotionally sensitive or delicate person. She still chose to treat me in a callous and condescending way. I am very fortunate that I have a good support system at home and a trusted therapist. For another person in my situation, but without a support system to fall back on, a visit to Dr Mercer could be dangerous.

I mean, am I reviewing the DOCTOR...or his practice?…read more I spent the first part of my career as a Pharma rep and a Group Practice Materiel Manager -- soooo when it comes to Doctors and well run medical practices I know the good, bad and ugly. As far as the doctor goes, Dr. Garcia is good. He is honest stern and to the point, He take his time with you and very easy to talk to. I feel he is an extremely conscientious doctor and explains things very clear to you. Now, the practice? If I was to rate his office staff...it would be a mixed bag; incompetent, arrogant, defense, thin skinned, and lack of customer service skills. They are somewhat disorganized and you do have to sit on them to get them to call you back, answer questions and on occasion, can be a little rude, for lack of better term. This really applies to the front office, who often gets it wrong. His back office staff is pretty efficient BUT . they DO NOT communicate lab results very well. His front office staff...they are not a good reflection on the doctor, so if you are the type who is easily frustrated by an office staff who is not necessarily organized or doesn't necessarily communicate well ... this might not be a good fit for you. They could screw up a 3 car funeral when it comes to scheduling. Folks this is Corporate Baycare Healthcare at it's finest (tongue in cheek).

VERY DISAPPOINTING IN DEED------…read more It was very dirty The nurse was not friendly at all The receptionist was more concerned with getting my mom to change her primary to this office (RED FLAG) The doctor didn't wear gloves - but stated that he didn't see anything wrong with her foot but she should get an xray The doctor wrapped my moms foot so tight that when we took her to get her xray they couldn't believe how much it had swelled in such a short time (10 minutes) When we left the doctor made sure that I had the Request to our Patients (change form) and How to leave a Review--NOT what to do with my mom going forward how to check with them about her foot - to see her current primary care doctor--nothing about her current situation??? I called that week on Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday to receive my mom's office notes to give to the nurses where she lives (it's required)--the receptionist told me every single day that the notes were not available as of yet?? What - then on Friday she stated that the doctor was out of the office for the July 4th weekend? REALLY? I followed up on the next Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday and still they were NOT ready? REALLY? So, mom called and the receptionist stated that she needed something for her facility that day.....The receptionist stated that she could send over the xray but she had NO OFFICE NOTES AS OF YET? We tried their portal and it didn't work? Just sayin' --BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!

I switched over to Gulf Coast Medical Group and I love everything about this office…read more The waiting rooms have a very peaceful and comfortable ambiance.The staff is amazing. And my Dr helped me with everything I needed and more. I went to my previous dr for 3 1/2 years and he really didn't help me much. But, Dr Amy Strobbe listened to all of my concerns and she took charge. She did all my referrals, refills, and spent a lot of time with me. I would recommend this Group of Dr's to anyone. She is very friendly, patient and definitely through. If you need a caring and knowledgeable, Dr, this is the place to go! FIVE STAR REVIEW!!!

Dr. Launder is perfect…read more Do you worry that your doctor won't listen to you? Be thorough? Take time with you? Do you spend hours trying to research reviews to avoid all of those common issues? If so - then you are me, and I don't blame you because your health is important, and who the H E double hockey sticks wants to pay for some jerk to hardly listen to you or blow you off? Dr. Launder listens. Really really listens and takes time. She takes notes and tends to remember everything without looking back at them. She gets to know you and she continues to know you. You are not a number. An added bonus is that her nurse is precious. She has the same remarkable qualities and they both make you feel comfortable and cared for. I would recommend her as a primary physician above anyone in Port Richey. Trust me, I've been around different doctor's offices. The only downfall is there seems to be no patience when you are low on cash, which I've gathered to be a Morton Plant policy. As someone who took a while to pay a bill back, Morton no longer allows me to see ANY of their doctors. Really nice huh? 5 stars for Dr. Launder 0 for Morton Plant Mease Billing Dept
