Manatee Primary Care Associates

"If I could give a negative star I would!! Do Not, I repeat Do Not go to these people! I literally had only scheduled to have an EKG done and apparently if you don't go see them every year they kick you out and can never come back!! So I live in Florida with limited primary care Physicians! I am a single father with no insurance, so Seeing them for no reason of sickness only cost me money, but when i do need them Now I cant see them ever!! How is this making sense? That is just rude and they are NOT concerned about your well being/Health but just getting money! So what does a person do now if have no primary? Absolutely ridiculous!!! I just wanted to have blood work done that Dr Sharon said to me and actually wrote it on a script for me, SO I HAVE IT IN WRITTING that I can get done at anytime but office lady said I failed to come in 1 year later. I never knew about this alleged appointment, which apparently was canceled again not by me so????!!! WHy do you guys not care about a persons health to want to see them instead of just booting them to the curb? How is that good practice of ANY business let alone a Dr office!! Dr apparently does NOT Care!!! Any recommendations of another Primary Please from anyone??/ Thanks if you took the time to read this"

"Doctor Michaels really cares, which is why I've been with him for 4 years now. Also, the office staff does their best to get my questions answered in a timely manner!"

"Nice, competent doctors Covid precautions are enforced. Office and lobby were being disinfected while I waited, it looked like a routine thing for them. Appointments are easy to make. Really don't have anything bad to say about them."

"If you’re looking to waste your time, this is the place to go. You get to schedule an appointment and then you get to wait beyond your appointment time. But the best part really is when you call to make an appointment for a specific reason, you confirm with the front desk that the doctors are equip to handle the specific request, you take time off of work to meet with the doctor - only to find out, nope, the doctor doesn’t deal with the specific reason for your appointment. So, like I said - a good place to waste your time."

"Brought my 80 yr old mother to see Dr Grubb for ongoong toe issue. Home health was ordered. Home health care upon looking at toes called emergency services as “toe is about to fall off”. Home health care was clear that doctor did not adequately assess toes. 8 week old gause was still dried to foot. I left message for this office hoping doctor would up his game and future patients get better care. Everyone makes a bad decision. I received a phone call defending the doctor, she was reading from his notes. I was clear that I was in the room and I had a logical rebuttle for her defensive statements. It is his job to assess the issue not home health care. In the end I thanked her for her time, told her it was not her fault and explained my only goal was for Dr Grubb to realize he needs to do the full assessment even if the patient is recoiling in pain, if he cannot then state he cannot complete the assessment. The things that REALLY WAS BAD, then I got another call from another office personel, “our employee called you and is upset”. Accused me of yelling at her. Yes, I am worried my mother might lose her foot I might be a bit tense to first caller, but I was nice and thanked her and told her it was not her fault. So the office manager needs to call me and try to make me feel bad? For what value? Yes, to this person I had no patience and was not my truly loving self. NEVER go here!!"
