Dr. Robert Wharton, MD 4855 1st Avenue North, St. Petersburg, FL 33713

"dr. Wharton and his staff are absolutely wonderful! They are thorough don't rush through if you have questions, and I highly recommend him!"

"Dr. Wharton and his staff were efficient and helpful during my visit."

"Dr Wharton took more then one hour with me, getting to know all about my past medical experiences. He was questioning most of my previous surgeries and listening to my questions about our up-and-coming procedures. The downside to Dr. Wharton is, he is going to retire very soon. He has done his share for the medical profession and feels, he needs some rest."

"This was the best and fastest service I have ever had in getting to the diagnosis and treatment of my health problems. Dr. Wharton gets an A+ from me. I was also very pleased with his staff, couldn’t have asked for anyone to be more professional and nice as Janet."

"Oh my goodness! I have never had a member of office staff in a medical practice be so rude! Dr. Wharton came highly recommended, but after this I would never see him for any medical issues! My referral came to their office for unknown cause of abdominal pain and possible gallbladder issues. I was advised that it may be a month to two months out to see them, which I was more than willing to wait. The staff member all but refused to book my appointment saying that they had other patients that needed to be handled before me and I needed my gallbladder checked sooner, which I stated that I had my primary lined up for this and a surgeon if needed as well. She still refused to hear that I have other DIAGNOSED (via recent CT scans) gastrointestinal issues that needed to be addressed and the possibility of other gastrointestinal issues that warrant discussion and possibly testing with a gastrointestinal doctor. Kept insisting that I didn’t need them and that I needed someone else, she wouldn’t even hear me out about my other diagnosed conditions and hung up on me!! I will be contacting the practice manager for certain, but unfortunately a doctor that came highly recommended is now a practice I would never feel safe in! I have never been so humiliated and dehumanized ever by a professional office! For the record the entire call was on speaker and others heard the hurtful treatment and tone I received. I also advised the Palms of Pasadena Emergency staff of how rudely I was treated! Not to mention the office personnel also advised me that the call was on speaker and other office staff and a PATIENT could hear our whole conversation, which is clearly a violation of HIPPA since we were discussing my medical information! A HIPPA violation complaint is already in process!"
