On July 14, 2026, my husband and I went to this clinic as suggested at the port terminal as we were…read moreon a cruise. I had a very disappointing experience at this walk-in clinic. I arrived seeking medical attention because my husband was sick, but he was refused care despite the clinic advertising walk-in services. The staff showed little concern for his condition and did not make any effort to offer an alternative solution or explain how I could receive timely medical care. When people visit a walk-in clinic, they are often feeling unwell and expect compassionate, professional treatment. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. I left feeling frustrated, dismissed, and without the medical attention I needed. The most disturbing part was when the doctor came to the waiting area as he heard how upset I was After my husband explained his symptoms, he calmly and in a cold manner stated he could not see him. My question is what kind of doctor refuses to see a sick patient. We have a very good insurance and he simply walked away and did not care about his health situation. I guess he does not honor his Hippocratic Oath. Or should I rephrase it? Hypocritical???? Very sad that doctors act this way.

Cape Canaveral Hospital was built to take care of NASA's space workers during the Mercury program…read morein 1962. It has been expanded over the years to 150 beds and has grown with the community. The environmentalists refused to allow expansion because filling in the one foot deep water around the hospital would affect the sea grass that the manatees eat (despite the fact that the manatees cannot swim in one foot of water). A new and smaller hospital is currently being built on Merritt Island. CCH has a nickname of "Cape Catastrophe". The hospital has an uneven reputation. As a former RN clinical supervisor and acting hospital administrator for a 400-bed hospital in Massachusetts, I have some experience regarding hospitals. I have also worked in an Emergency Trauma Center. The CCH building is old, as are several hospitals in the Boston area. But, old CAN be clean and serviceable. The key to any hospital is the staff and how they are managed, trained, and treated. There are some less than desirable MD's and nursing staff while the great majority do a good job and are professional. However, it is always the bad experiences that stick out. Some basic issues are that most staff have their badges turned so you cannot see their ID, photo or name. Most wear scrubs so you cannot tell the difference between the janitorial staff and medical staff or what they are supposed to be doing there. Most staff do not introduce themselves or tell the patient why they are there or what they will be doing. That is one of the first things students are supposed to learn. The staff is very casual in attitude and do not display the usual expected professionalism in manner, attention to their uniforms, or equipment. I was in the ER with a client as a patient advocate. The patient had continuous uncontrolled bleeding from a procedure two weeks earlier. After a cursory exam and some tests, the staff shrugged their shoulders and said IDK why there is bleeding. "We called her treating doctor who did the procedure and she said to make an appointment in 6 weeks". The patient was sent home only to go the ER at Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne 25 miles away a day later. She was admitted. The nursing care has been good and professional. However, the hospital does not have a regular urologist that works with the hospital and the MD called in privately does not take Health First insurance. At least she is being treated. It is sad that a patient needs a professional advocate to navigate the local healthcare system for basic care. Florida has moved up in its statewide healthcare rating from 48th out of 50 to 42nd beating out Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. That rating is an average that includes the award-winning Mayo Clinic, UF medical school, Advent Health, Shands, Tampa General, Cleveland Clinic, and Baptist Health Hospitals. Central Brevard on the mainland lost Rockledge Regional Hospital due to raw sewerage backup, bat guano from 10,000 bats living inside the building, and other issues so residents must choose between traveling a distance to CCH or Holmes. Ask questions. It is about YOUR life. You are entitled to the information if you are a patient, medical surrogate or professional advocate. Be polite and persistent to get the information you need to make a truly informed decision. The best action is to remain healthy.

REVIEW FROM 7/2011 - somehow deleted:…read more First appt with Dr. Alikhan should have tipped me off to bizarre attitude towards healthcare - Instead of spending too little time with me he took FOREVER. He gathered the information he felt he needed, and then typed it on his laptop for almost 10 minutes in complete silence right in front of me. Then he wanted to cover my entire medical history linking everything to what might be my reason for some rectal problems? I found it unlikely and overboard. My reason for seeing him was a f/u to a colonoscopy 3 years ago in another state..... Dr. Alikhan said it was imperative to get my past colonoscopy records to him before having another colonoscopy. So I took care of the ppwk to get this done a month before the procedure, and Dr. Alikhan's staff never retrieved the records (unbeknownst to me)! Day of the colonoscopy I am made to wait 4 1/2 hours in pre-op, as Dr. Alikhan chose to squeeze in an ICU patient that was SLEEPING, on top of his running over an hour behind schedule. Apparently there was no Dr. on call to take care of this patient, and Dr. Alikhan didn't see fit to call me that morning and tell me to come into surgery later as he ALREADY KNEW he would bump me up for this ICU patient, that I repeat, was knocked out on Dilaudid and sleeping (guess another 45 minute wait for MY scheduled appt was too much to ask of an already sleeping guy?) - I digress. The icing on the cake - when Dr. Alikhan came to apologize to myself and my husband - he didn't bother to introduce himself and didn't put down his pen to shake my husband's offered hand. Instead he started asking questions about my previous colonoscopy!! When asked if he ever got my records, he said he 'may have signed off on them in a' (and I quote) 'TRANCE LIKE STATE.' What Dr. says this??! Then, as per his bizarre behavior, he wrote notes and signed paperwork in front of my husband and I, in complete silence again, for over 8 minutes. We were angry and stunned. I checked those medical documents he was scribbling on, after the Dr. walked away. He wrote that I had a 'history of polyps'. Funny - How could he know that if he never saw my previous reports and our only encounter before this was verbal? He was literally taking my educated guess as fact, which I find to be reprehensible and dangerous in any medical profession. Needless to say, I went through with the colonoscopy (as the prep and wait time was not going to be repeated on my dime) but I will be getting my results from Dr. Alikhan and NEVER returning to his incompetent office and his freakish behavior! Addendum: In the pre-op after dealing with all this garbage, I called Alikhan's office to shame their lack of competence regarding those past records - and demand that they retrieve them, as they will be needed for comparison to the new procedure's results. The office manager assured me she would get right on it, and call me herself. Guess what? Never got a call.
