Fernandez Bravo & Associates

"If that old man Dr. Fenandez Bravo is still practicing medicine, do ypurself a favor and run, don't walk straight away from there! If your primary dr refers you, ypu tell them you will NOT be subjected to an abusive person like him! First of all I went there about 3 yrs ago and the incident is still so deep in my mind! This man wasn't just rude and nasty. After waiting over 2hrs to see him, with tons of people in waiting room (pre Covid), I tried asking this so- called doctor one question and he bit my head off and ranted at me that I was " just a Medicare patient and not paying". Perhaps he didn't like me because English was my primary language? In the end, he couldn't help me with my condition and I would never have yristed him anyway. I have, unfortunately for me, been through many illnesses and medical issues amd have many good docs on my team so I lnow the difference! Stay far away from this jerk!"

"The doctor was extremely mean! I told him so and he got upset and told me not to say that about him.. he just bombarded me with questions from the forms that I filled out which he knew the answers to already . He tried to say that I said he was nasty and I corrected him and said that I said MEAN! He then proceeded to ask me about my thyroid.. I said it’s fine but says well it’s says here that that’s why you’re here! I said that’s news to me!!! He DID record everything that I said right in front of me! Long story short I feel that he’s rude and unprofessional.. I’m scheduled to see him again which I’m sure I won’t… never been treated this way before by any doctor.."

"I never really write reviews and I’ve definitely never left a negative review before, but I want to warn others. I am 27 and was previously healthy. The only problem I’ve ever had was that I felt like I had a lump in my throat. I was referred to Dr. Bravo by my primary doctor. I went in but was only seen by the Physician’s Assistant. He said they needed to do an endoscopy. The procedure location said I would be able to meet with the doctor before the procedure but I only saw him for a second before the procedure while they were hooking me up in the procedure room. He said he would only dilate my esophagus if he found that it needed dilation. After the procedure he told me he dilated my esophagus but it didn’t need it he just thought it might help with the feeling I had in my throat. Ever since that day I have had chest pain. It is like a dull constant discomfort, all day everyday. Sometimes it radiates to my back. It has been 4 months. I have been back to his office three times to ask him about the chest pain. The last time I went he asked me if we had met before. He said it must be completely unrelated to the endoscopy which makes no sense. I have a one year old child and I can’t live my life anymore due to this chest pain. It wears me down completely. I eat extremely healthy, run a mile every other morning, and drink tons of water. I wish more than anything in the I could go back and never have the procedure done. I don’t know if he dilated me for the insurance money but I would give him all of my money just not to have this chest pain anymore. It has affected everyone around me. I just want to not have the pain anymore. Please do not go here."

"Long waits even with appointment. Dr is arrogant, rude, and unprofessional. He verbally records your information for others to hear. Clearly violating HIPPA laws. Will NEVER go back there again"

"Stay away, for your peace of mind. I had my first visit with Dr Bravo. He came to the room, asked me if I had private insurance or Medicare. I gave him some lab tests done with my physician. He took the papers, overlooked and told me that his assistant would give me the information about colonoscopy and endoscopy, and work with scheduling the procedures. He did no spoke with me more than 5 minutes and never provided any medical services, examination, nothing. The only service was provided by his MA who took my blood pressure. Another strange issue is the fact that all paperwork has Okeechobee County address."
