ABSOLUTE HEALTHCARE IS THE WORST. DO NOT GO THERE. I had an appt this morning at their location…read moreat Busch Blvd in Tampa. I found the gate locked. I called and got transferred to the Port Richey office. They told me my doctor left for another position and so the office is closed. No one notified me when my doctor left, and I got the usual reminder emails and texts for days before asking me to confirm my appt. The receptionist at Port Richey said they called me to reschedule my appt, but I didn't answer, and they left a voicemail. There vm came in the middle of the usual stream of reminder emails and texts and just assumed the vm was another one, and deleted it. But the receptionist had the nerve to start blaming me for missing their one phone call, so I gave her some four letter words and hung up.

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

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.

From the owner: At Gulf West Medical Associates in Port Richey, Florida, patients can be sure of one-on-one…read moreattention and five-star care. Owner and head clinician Rajesh B. Dave, MD, is an experienced, board-certified internal medicine physician who passionately feels that patients should know they'll see their doctor -- not a substitute --when they visit. In recent years, health care has undergone significant changes. The spread of large groups and corporate ownership has had a substantial impact on the doctor-patient relationship in many cases. This change is particularly noticeable in primary care settings as doctors move around more. It's also becoming more common to see a nurse practitioner or physician assistant instead of a doctor. Even when patients do see the same doctor regularly, it's unlikely they'll see their doctor when they're in the hospital, as most physicians don't offer this service. That means when patients are seriously unwell, and in the greatest need, they don't receive treatment from the doctor who knows them best. Instead, they see a hospital doctor who they've probably never met before. For those who yearn for old-fashioned care, patients have a choice. At Gulf West Medical Associates, patients can expect to see Dr. Dave at each visit. His patients trust him with their annual physical and preventive health care to management of conditions like arthritis or diabetes. The practice has an on-site phlebotomist, so you can have blood taken in the office for testing...
