Dr. Bernardo J. Arias, MD 3191 Harbor Boulevard, Port Charlotte, FL 33952

"He is a top-notch psychiatrist. He doesn't rush you when you see him. He answers your questions in everyday language. He doesn't belittle you, but respects you."

"I am on a very addictive medication, and I have called in to get my medication called in three times and three times they called in the wrong medication now I am going to have to physically go up to the office tomorrow and have them give me a paper prescription if they even do those still, it seems like they're forcing me to take the one medication that I was on before it got switched by another doctor, now Dr Arias just wants control of it and he doesn't like that I take certain medicine because it is abused, but the medicine they also want to force me on is abused as well so I don't know what they're trying to do to me but they want me to go up there and flip out is what I think because they haven't had a good Baker act out of there in a while, and if you do visit in person they won't see you on your time it's always an hour later or more, not recommend, but can't find another doctor who will take my insurance, guess im gonna have to take 200 out of my 900 dollar monthly SSI check and see the pill mill doctor again to get a medicine that my psychiatrist should have no problem writing me"

"This man has no respect for your time. The last time my wife was there she waited over 2 hours before she finally left. She can not sit for long periods. I waited outside and I saw a Drug Rep walk in with 2 huge duffel bags filled with food. When my wife came out to the car she was crying from the pain in her back. She told me that she could hear the staff having a picnic lunch for over an hour while the waiting room was full."

"Maybe I'll update the rating after I actually get some care from him. My appointment was an hour ago and I'm still in the waiting room. I'm not impressed, by any means. Edit: I was finally seen over an hour after my appointment. The staff even suggested giving me a referral to someone else since it waa taking so long! He was cocky and arrogant. He needs to work in a field that doesn't involve care for individuals."

"Dr. Arias rocks! He makes you smile even when having a bad day. The first time I met him I knew I made the right choice. Finding a good doctor is quite difficult. It seems most only care about the money and not the patient. The medication he has put me on has changed my life. No other doctor even thought of it. I recommend everyone I know to Dr. Arias. Give him a try, after the first visit you will see why everyone loves him. Oh, and the office staff are the best! I have never met anyone there that didn't look like they loved their job. They are always smiling and know you by name as soon as you walk in. Some even remember your voice if you call, without giving a name. They are all compassionate, caring and makes going to the doctor fun and worth it. He will help you too. Don't wait for another day to pass, call now and set up an appointment."
