Optum-Bayshore

"I have missed two important appointments in the last 3 weeks because it took 8 days to get a referral..They told me they are short staffed..But that doesnt help the patient..So i think they should take care of the existing patients before taking on new ones.."

"I had my first visit last week and everyone there is very kind and professional. They take their time with you and it's not a rushed appointment. They call me back right away and take their time answering all my questions . I give this office an A plus! They don't make you feel like a number and I feel as if they truly care about their patients. So glad I had to leave Bradenton Family Medical because I've had bad experiences there and their doctors are no good they don't like to explain or take their time with you their just in a hurry to get done and on to the next patient so I'm very grateful for Dr Cohen and all the stuff at Optum health they are awesome!!!"

"I had my first curbside appointment with Dr Cohen. The nurse came out and took my vitals and set me up on her tablet for a face to face visit with Dr. Cohen. Everything went smoothly. It was just like being inside the office. The staff is very polite and efficient. I discussed everything that I needed to with Dr Cohen and it only took a few minutes! I enjoyed not having to get on the scale!"

"I'm retired and have been going to Davita Bayshore for about 3 years. Dr. Howard Cohen and staff have been wonderful. Appointments start on time and are never rushed. They do the blood work so you don't have to go to a third party. Very conveniently located with good parking and a Walgreens on the corner. l Dr. Cohen diagnosed a serious artery condition that a specialist confirmed needed surgical correction. The successful surgery probably saved me from a stroke or worse. You will be very happy with your care at Davita - Bayshore."

"It is always a pleasure to be a part of a great medical group. DaVita has always been a pleasure to "do business with". The waiting room & offices are always neat, clean & orderly. Most importantly, the staff & doctor are always pleasant to deal with. In short, a very pleasant, professional atmosphere is always present. They offer many free instructional classes at the center. I like the positive approach to patient care & prevention. Dr Cohen has always been pleasant to deal with. He always listens and offers good advice & reasons for treatments. I have never once had to wait unduly to be seen; and that is important."
