My first question is do you really correct the problems that are complained about?
I have been a patient for approx 2 years, my PCP was a nurse practioner and I …
Not even sure how the service here is because it’s seemingly impossibly to schedule an appointment. For the past week I’ve been calling them and they haven’t picked up the phone once, then call back later and leave a voicemail asking me to …
They like to find a reason to dismiss you whether you give them one or not. Even if you’re a patient in good standing if someone tells them something they’ll take their word for it. Especially if you’re an older person. Oh and now after …
I have never been more frustrated with a doctor’s office- and as someone who works in healthcare I find it absolutely unacceptable the way this office operates. It is clearly unorganized and employees do not listen or pretend to care about …
I can’t comment on the actual services because I was never able to make an appointment. I called several times over three days, left three messages, and nobody ever called back.
I have always found Simed personnel to be courteous and knowledgeable. The physicians are clearly high end individuals and care about doing the right thing.
It’s been almost two weeks and I still have not received a call back from the receptionist who takes new patients, even after leaving a voice mail and making several calls. Nothing.
All I’m going to say is after calling every number listed for the place simply trying to schedule an appointment I can see exactly why this place has more one star reviews than anything else.
Have been going here for at least a year and comparison to UF clinics…..this one gets you in fast! Doctor’s are nice and staff is good . Actually cheaper than UF clinics as well.
I love my doctors and the fact most doctors I need to see are located all in one place.they even have a lab and x-ray machines on site which makes that easier as well.im so glad I transferred over here 3 years ago.
Scheduled an appointment on the phone. The day of the appointment, I arrive and am told I was never put on the schedule. Met with a nurse practitioner that was not personable and rather rude.
Jeremy up in the lab consistently gets things done whenever I get stuck with doctors not putting their orders in or whatever other cross-office issue. Super helpful dude.
I went in to see Dr.Rodriguiz and thought at first this is my man he explained everything I was experiencing in detail so blood work and x-rays were ordered.To my amazement it showed nothing,then a complete blood work panel was done and …
I’ve gone to Southeastern Women’s health for several years. I’ve had only good experiences with the employees and Dr Nair. Everyone is kind and professional, and everything is always clean
I sentmy 84 year old mother to pain management with Dr Leber she was given over to the other side where a assistant of Dr Puwenta and she hurt my mother she has been in a wheelchair for over 16 years she push up and down her spine without …
Doctors’ are good but you have to call over nine to ten times to get ANYONE to answer the phone. After you get an answer no one calls you back so, this time I left a message maybe someone will call but not holding my breath .
So far I see all my specialist and my primary care at simed just easier for me I have a lot of things wrong with me I have to see like eight different specialist and it’s easier that they’re all in one place however I’ve been in the …
I called to try to change my appointment, and the woman to whom I was speaking was not at all friendly. I asked her where she was located, as I’m not from Gainesville, and she said “Gainesville.” Then she asked if I knew what the building …
Careful using their wifi. You have to log into Facebook to use the wifi and Facebook then posts your check in. Friends and relatives contacted me with concern as the post apparently stated I had checked into a mental health facility. The post has a picture of Simed which does look like a small hospital. Dr Sveska seems great though.
They don’t answer the phone no matter what time I call. I’ve been waiting 3 weeks for ultrasound results but every time I call, if somebody answers, I am transferred and sent to voicemail.
So I put in an application to work for Simed. They reviewed my application and we scheduled a phone interview. On the day and time scheduled, I never received a call or even an email. I decided to call them at 3 o’clock that same day and …
I’m here to offset the 1 star reviews. I’ve used several doctors within SIMED (Dr. Grover and Dr. Balbis and Beverly Nelson (ARNP) and have never been unhappy. I’ve never had an issue having my phone call answered or making an appointment. …
The Doctor never followed up and sent any scripts. Then I was asked to come back to get script at my expense. No follow up and I am just a number. To be fair that’s how most of my Doctor experiences have gone in recent years. I don’t recommend SIMED.
Dr. Paulian and receptionist are breath of fresh air. Very polite and professional. My well being is in good hands. The billing department on the other hand, could use much refresher training. It could get frustrating getting them to correct their billing errors.
I go here for the Novavax trial, and it’s a good experience. The people here are friendly, especially the phlebotomist Michelle who’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. The building is nice and they seem to have a lot of different things going on at once here.
I am very quickly leaving this money mill. The doctors for the most part are good but all simed wants is your money. Many a good doctor has been ruined by there uncaring office staff. I like another post am waiting for a call back that I am …
SIMED’s lab is just awful. I waited for two hours – you can’t make an appointment for blood work – and there was no social distancing. I had to get more blood work done, so I went to Quest instead. You check in, and you can wait in your …
My husband was treated horribly. They were rude and insulting They have no bedside manner. He used
protective gloves and a mask and was harassed for doing so. I am furious! …
Sabrina is very unhelpful, rude and condescending. When I asked to speak to someone else she stated there wasn’t anyone else and that she was the manager which is very doubtful. Then she proceeded to call my number several times and hang …
I love the fact that ally Dr.s are all in one building ( or most are here) all in same group related they have Primary care .. urgent care..and different specialist all through this one group SIMED !! All the Drs here are wonderful.. very …
My Significant Other has a poor memory and is a quadriplegic unable to use his hands to write down instructions. After multiple calls and 4 business days (make it 6 if you include the weekend that he was unable to take the meds due to …
I have an appointment later this afternoon but I am seeing a lot of comments about the receptionist’s staff phone manner. I can say that they individuals I spoke to during three separate calls were caring and professional. I will post an updated review after my appointment.
I have been a patient of simed for many years now I needed an urgent appointment my doctor schedule was full I was put with a different doctor..
That different doctor was such a wonderful experience Dr Gupta is knowledgeable caring, considerate and concerned when it comes to her patients needs..
My review is for Dr. Lim. I love her and recommend her. She is very popular though so hard to get an appointment. The new setup for check in seems to work well. I like that there is a lab on site.
This place sucks and does not care about you as a patient. I went in for my annual and telling the Dr. about other symptoms I was having. Why is the annual showing up normal? I dont think so. I will get a second opinion. Then the Dr. wanted …
Remodeled Doctor waiting room now has more check-in personnel and serves more Doctors. Shorter wait times. Dr Elder is the best family practitioner. He makes rounds every A.M. at NFRMC.
I have changed my mothers and I PCP to one of their doctors and I have been trying to call to schedule an appointment it no matter what time of the day I call they would never pick up my call or return my call. I am glad I read these reviews and now I will probably find a new PCP some other place.
Dr Lefkowitz practice is the worst I have ever been involved with.The staff is incredibly rude and the Dr. is usually unavailable to see patients. He’s only in the office twice a week. …
I recently switch Doctor. My Primary Doctor now is Dr. Gupta. She is very knowledgeable and caring Doctor. She would spent time to listen to her patient.
Just left my third voice message with the Arthritis Center requesting a call back to make an appointment. I have called at random times many times over the past week and all I get is the recording to leave a message! Update: At 4:30pm, received a call from a very pleasant staff member and an appointment was made.
Primary Care is excellent at this facility but the Women’s Health Services here are atrocious! They over bill your insurance, will provide misdiagnosis and then LIE as if they didn’t tell you the WRONG diagnosis, they don’t listen to your …
Absolutely horrible! I called 3 times over the course of 2 weeks and left messages to schedule an appt after my dr sent a referral. I finally had to go into the office to schedule it because no one would return my calls. I showed up early …
Started out as five stars because they got me a same day appointment…then they called to see if i could come in right away. Bonus!
Been here well over an hour now and still haven’t seen anyone. Almost time for that appointment now… so what was the point in calling me to come in early?
Both I and my wife Had an 11 and 11:30 am appointment with our primary care Dr. After arriving early, 10:15, and being forced to use the new mini computer terminals and fill out repetitive information paper work we were told at 10:55 that …
I called Newberry location to regarding Free Gov paid, Rapid Covid Testing.
Shame on Simed Health!!!
Free Covid Testing!!! They are charging $150.00 first timer plus $30.00 Handling …
Scheduling in a nightmare. You can leave message til the cows come home and no return call. I suppose that’s one way to cull patients. I can’t believe the very good physician I see (Dr. Bailey) approves of such. You are only as strong …
The care is fine, so far. But the directions to the office were completely wrong as sent to me by their email! They know there is a problem and have know for YEARS but they just don’t care(Lady Lake , Fl office). But I find it unacceptable …
Terrible service. Rude workers. The design of the building is TERRIBLE, makes it IMPOSSIBLE to check in. They literally had me wondering around the building, with employees giving me false information which led me to the employees’ side of …
SIMED Allergy and Asthma is very disorganized and made me feel like they didn’t care about me as a person. It took them 3 weeks to call me after my doctor submitted a referral. When I showed up for my appointment the next week, they told me …
My family was enlisted with SIMED health care since 2014.
Our primary doctor name is David Lefkewtch MD (best doctor I’ve ever had).
Recently I have had an appointment for my parents last Wednesday on dated Feb …
If I could give them zero stars I would. I called to get out of pocket rates because my insurance doesn’t cover pain management. I was completely brushed off by everyone. As soon as they heard MediShare they assumed it was some form of …
Poor customer service, staff morale is disturbingly low, staff talk about how bad the company is and the poor treatment. Needless to say I go back because I have to in order to get my treatment. Management needs to watch how they talk to …
I have been a patient of dr Linda Grover for over 20 yrs, I have always been able to call directly to her office and speak to a receptionist. Now I cannot get anyone to answer the phone.i was there was for an appointment on Wednesday there …
The operation went ‘ok’. But, the bill was not clear and the expectation was set so that they could perform the operation and it wasn’t going to be too expensive. Well, it was quite expensive for a simple procedure. The worst part is that …
I saw two different doctors here. One, a lung doctor, didn’t check my history, didn’t check my O2 sat, didn’t take a stethoscope to my lungs, didn’t have me use a spirometer, didn’t even have a nurse check my BP/HR/respirations, but somehow …
Very upsetting experience with Rachel at the chiefland office. First she sent my referral to the wrong place. A referral for a stat head ct. Then when she sent it to the right place she didnt send authorization. When she finally sent …
I went to their urgent care and was told they could not assist me. I went from their office to the emergency room due to the doctor’s inability to treat me. I, however, was sent a bill because the doctor told me he could not assist me. …
I saw Dr. Mary Hurd on March 3rd for my yearly physical. I was told by the office that my insurance was going to cover for my physical. They charged me $90 extra for couple of referrals that Dr Hurd has noted. I asked to talk to the office …
Awful service- the doctor I love moved to SIMED so I followed her there. Getting registered as a new patient was a huge hassle as the office staff had trouble keeping track of my information and there have also been several times my …
I am giving this review for Karen and Dr. ALI because they are very caring individuals. As far as some of the staff in the office I will give a one star especially for a staff called Lorraine she is very unprofessional and rude, she cut me …
I am very upset. I made a few call to inquire about Simed health becoming my new PCP. I spend the time getting in touch with my insurance company to make the change. Today after many calls to them received a call telling me that they can’t …
My first time ever going to physical therapy, I arrived a few minutes early but they sent me back for therapy about 15 minutes late. The therapist came in the room, not introducing herself or greeting me and said because I was late she …
Dr. Grover is very nice, but the receptionists do not make anything easy. My friend had to wait 5 months to get an appointment and everything aligned, which could have been shortened drastically with better communication.
I have been there 2X . Once for a check up with a doctor. About a 15 minute wait and for blood work also about a 15 minute wait also. Not bad. Nice people.
Our primary care doctor was assigned to this location through insurance so i contacted them to make an appointment three times, no one answered, so i left a message with my name and number and what I’m calling about! After a week NO ONE …
I have requested to see a Dr there and instead of trying to find one for me, they just said the Dr isn’t taking any new patients. I have extreme pain from fractured spine and vertabra fusion so I need a Dr that can get me on the right …
I gave up on Simed, too many problems.I had my physical scheduled then cancelled multiple times. I was rescheduled at least a half dozen times. This person would do it, then she or he would do it. Then suddenly they are out of the …
Dr. DePaz and Dr. Harris are excellent pain treatment combo. He listens and she sticks the needles. I have never had trouble with staff, mainly because I utilize the tech check in and payment system. As far as I can tell those that complain have never been treated at the VA, or they would know how lucky they are.
I am now done with Simed and the Chiefland office. Had previous problem with front office staff getting a reasonable appt. as a current patient. Doctor spoke with me and assured that anyone there would have been able to see me. Stayed …
They just sent me a bill for a 2019 office visit and claim to have sent me bills prior to that but I did not receive them. Went in for an annual physical and told doctor about other symptoms I was having and they billed my insurance for …
Getting anyone in the office to return your phone call is a headache. Their website states they will process your prescription refill in 72 hours or less, Its been 5 days… still no word even though I have called two times. The hold times …
Wait time sometimes can be longer than usual. It seems most of their patients are oldery people with medical issues and I think it is the right thing for providers to spend proper time to find out the issue rather than rushing people in and …
Dr. Balbis is the best and that’s about it. I needed to refill my Heart Burn meds and Dr. Balbis needed to see me so he could renew for this year. So with Covid 19 I was not wanting to go in to any doctors office especially for heart burn …
This place is the absolute worst. They are shady liars each dr is garbage. He only care for himself and people like him. Please read reviews before coming to this place. He is very lazy pathetic neurologist. I had covid and was kind enough …
I have tried multiple times to schedule an appointment with Dr. Sarah Osian. I was able to get ahold of Sharon
only for her in haste to tell me I needed a referral. The referral was obtained …
I should’ve paid attention to the overall reviews and rating. But I was in need of a primary physician due to my last one leaving Gainesville and I caught COVID so I needed someone right away. But horrible communication skills and fails to …
I’ve been a patient with Simed for 6yrs. I’ve referred my friends and family members. There is no such thing as the perfect place but? The doctors at Simed have always treated me in kind. Very professional and straightforward.
I’ve only had negative experiences (and ridiculous charges) from the OB/GYN department. I had to wait three months just to get an appointment with any of their doctors. The front desk staff are rude and never answer the phone during their …
I would give a zero if you had that. I had a virtual appointment with Dr Gabriela DeMori and it was the absolute worst experience I have EVER had. I was a new patient as well as my wife. We spoke to his office the day before to be sure our …
There is always an issue with the billing. Every single. time.Also I felt like I was not listened at all by my nurse practitioner and she didn’t wash her hands are clean any of her equipment before entering the room. Definitely looking for a new primary care
Was a wonderful bunch when dr lloyde was there, sorry bunch in there now..can’t keep they’re lies straight can’t get you the right medication (dr prescribed a medication and the one that had it sent to the pharmacy put in something different so I received the wrong meds.) Policy changes depending on who answers the phone..
I had a wonderful experience going here. I called before I went in, and was nicely greeted and my questions about wait times were quickly answered. There was only a short 30 minute wait. When I arrived, I was warmly welcomed. The wait time …

Haven’t been in the clinic yet, though I’ve had a great experience with the receptionist so far. She was very nice and took my request to change my appointment back and forth to fit my schedule. Will update on my experience after my first …
I have a procedure scheduled for next week and the lack of communication, miscommunication and now the call from pre-op telling me that I will need to pay an absurd amount on the day just for facilities, and then expect a bill from doctor, …
My name is VP. I should have looked at all the 1 star reviews before going to you for 6 months until I had to find a new primary that Cares about the patient and not money. Here money and profit is first and patients are second. They will …
Poor customer service with her staff they never smile always look mad they have to work. It’s hard to get referrals to specialty at anytime they never answer the phones or return messages to patients. But when you come to the office they …

My doctor, Gabriele Demori is excellent! I’m very, very pleased with his care, manner and knowledge!
However, don’t pay in cash at front desk before service unless you get a …
This physician practice offers drive-in doctor’s appointments for patients with symptoms, as well as covid testing, of course billed to my insurance. The office staff was very compassionate in setting up my appointment. The doctor was skilled and professional, a member of the practice team for some time, not a new employee.
Iam a new patient of Dr. Gupta. Switched primary from Chiefland. Dr. Gupta was as good. If not better than they get!! I was very pleased with at my appointment!! She was 👌
throvery throu …
Wow, this place for a doctor’s office is crazy. At least the neurology section. They have no idea what they are doing. A referral from my doctor was sent and they confirmed as set an appt then after arriving at the place for appt they had …
Dr. Nair is the sweetest!! She and LPN Jane made me feel very comfortable. Any questions or concerns I had, they answered. Very friendly staff (especially the receptionist) I was in and out, no super long wait time at all.
Had an appointment for 9:10am. Gave them a call @ 9:00am to let them know I would need to reschedule as I didn’t have my insurance and photo ID. I was threatened with a $50-$100 fee if I didn’t show up to my appointment by 9:25am. I sent …

This is my third review for SIMEDHealth. I received a bill for our portion of services rendered on three different visits. After carefully scrutinizing this bill, the amount that showed my husband owed did not add up correctly; SIMED was …
There are some very cold and callous doctors at simed my rheumatoid arthritis specialist refuse to do FMLA paperwork considering that rheumatoid arthritis is a lifetime condition with no cure that is very unprofessional of her and I believe …
I was very apprehensive about coming to SIMED after reading the reviews but am happy to say the reviews haven’t been reflective of my experience at all. The nurses and staff have all been patient kind and go above and beyond any chance they …
After attempting to schedule with this facility for approximately 3hours I gave up. Good luck if you are attempting to schedule a new pt apt. Best wishes.
There are not enough wonderful things to say about Dr Nair. Dr Nair understands the female body and can explain it in very elementary terms if you need her too. She knows and remembers her patients, not only their medical history, she also …
Trying to call is totally frustrating. Called both main number on two different days and on hold for over 25 minutes with no answer .Called my primary phone number and put on hold for over 15 minutes no answer 2 days in a row.Called and …
First experience doctor gave contradictory meds and almost killed me. Second visit during hurricane they didn’t call patients to reschedule. This place sucks and doesn’t deserve the one star. I would rather suffer than go here. To Dr Murphy and her staff F you!!!
The front office folks at SIMED have consistently let me down, failing to return messages and leaving my medical concerns unaddressed. I cannot even get back in with my doctor to address these concerns firsthand before there is a 3+ month wait for appointments, even for returning patients. Do better for your patients.
Do not waste your time at Simed Health and with Dr. Justin Yancey. It was my first visit and he did not want to see me. I spent 10 to 15 minutes there, and Dr. Yancey’s answers to all of my health questions were “I don’t know. I don’t know …
I’m sitting here yet again an hour after getting here. Still nothing. Every time I go see Eric Catlin, Its a 3 hour situation! Besides sitting, pacing, standing waiting, I hear the entire staff laughing. It’s a pain management place. But …
First of all my DR. was great but that’s where it ends. Staff is incompetent, unhelpful, detached and down right rude! Wait time was outrageous. 2 hrs total. I am disabled and have a Service Dog for my needs. It is know about my disorder. I …
Iv given them numerous chances. I’m done.
First strike- after my 11 year old passed away I was on fmla. After a month I went for a f/u dr elder was shocked I was not back at work. This was the Monday …
Been a patient here for 2 years while I tried to find something better before I moved, every time I show up, I regret it. Incompetent, rude, slow workers. Never had a worse experience with a doctor or their office. Can’t refill …
NEVER GO HERE! The staff and doctors are friendly, but they are terrible when it comes to insurance. I was not informed up front that I was out-of-area for my insurance, and they not only saw me once but twice, before I knew that my visits …
Terrible service. The dr I saw there was amazing!! Been a patient here for over a year. I cancelled 2 appointments they cancelled 1.
When I went for my appointment today they said that I had too many missed …
My problem is with the check-in staff. I arrived 30 to 45 minutes early for my appointment. I had to fill out my information on a piece of paper and give it to the staff and go sit in my car because of my symptoms. My appointment time came …
Everyone was extremely professional and kind. I was taken in a few minutes before my appointment time, and made to feel very comfortable and at ease. The doctor is a lovely, kind woman Who answers all your questions honestly, and makes an uncomfortable situation so much better. I would recommend her to anyone.
My first question is do you really correct the problems that are complained about?
I have been a patient for approx 2 years, my PCP was a nurse practioner and I …
Not even sure how the service here is because it’s seemingly impossibly to schedule an appointment. For the past week I’ve been calling them and they haven’t picked up the phone once, then call back later and leave a voicemail asking me to …
They like to find a reason to dismiss you whether you give them one or not. Even if you’re a patient in good standing if someone tells them something they’ll take their word for it. Especially if you’re an older person. Oh and now after …
I have never been more frustrated with a doctor’s office- and as someone who works in healthcare I find it absolutely unacceptable the way this office operates. It is clearly unorganized and employees do not listen or pretend to care about …
Worse experience ever!
OK
Hard workers that respect you.
Love it
This people never answer the bloody phone!
Abysmal.
Great staff quick appointments
In and out pretty quick for a walk in visit!
I love all the doctors I see here
No one answers the phone or returns messages.
everyone at simed is so nice and friendly!
Ridiculous wait… waited 2 whole hours on a follow up for a cut finger😡😡 just sitting in the waiting room …
These people really don’t answer the phone. They have to call you back (maybe), usually the NEXT DAY.
One of the worst experiences I’ve had.
We are research participants and the team is great.
Dr. Sevestka is a great Primary Care Dr!
They are really good but with phone calls, no body ever picks up or returns ur call..
These people do not know what communication is. I’ve had terrible experience after terrible experience here & would not recommend it to anyone.
Got a physical
I Love SiMed Awesome Care i Receive there!
Always very efficient, even when they are very busy.
Great Doctors & staff. Not a long wait time
Very friendly and helpful doctors front desk personel can be nice at times.
Great staff, I was frustrated and a jerk to Christine over a scheduling issue on the phone and she kept her cool and was very professional.
Michelle Minkins is wonderful! Very professional, informative and made my visit to Simed a pleasure.
Have multiple medice disciplines good place
One stop shop for all medical needs. Primary care, imaging, pediatrics, pain management, etc. Also has an on site pharmacy.
They are always good to me when I was there.
Good place to get drug tests done for work.
The office staff is rude and very unprofessional
Nothing about them is good. Go literally anywhere else.
I am soooo happy I found this place! The staff was great. Quick and easy to get in.
Absolutely love all my doctors especially Dr. Scott
Medical services for a variety of medical doctors in one location
My Dr. Office , plus pharmacy, plus many other Doctors , plus this place has immediate Care that does not require hospital care.
Exam rooms are really dirty, actually there filthy!!! Simed Gainesville please clean your office!!!!
I had a wonderful experience prior during and after my procedures. Dr. Nair is an awesome physician.
Always a pleasure going for appointments
They have some if the best providers in Gainesville. These doctors really listen to you
Love having most of my Dr, pharmacy, labs all in one building. One stop shopping
Dr. Gabriele Demori is the absolute rudest doctor I’ve ever had. Will be changing he needs to check his attitude
Fraudulent overbilling. Uses Quest Diagnostics for the same. This company should be under investigation but FDLE fully supports organized crime.
I can’t comment on the actual services because I was never able to make an appointment. I called several times over three days, left three messages, and nobody ever called back.
I have always found Simed personnel to be courteous and knowledgeable. The physicians are clearly high end individuals and care about doing the right thing.
Not committed to timing. You have to wait for long time to get to your appointment, in addition to bad patient portal and no response to messages
Was told to be here at 9 for a 9:30 appointment. At 11 still have not see the Dr. office staff could not have been more rude.
It’s been almost two weeks and I still have not received a call back from the receptionist who takes new patients, even after leaving a voice mail and making several calls. Nothing.
We had to wait 3 months for my mom to get an appointment. Maybe able to add more stars After we finally get to see the doctor.
All I’m going to say is after calling every number listed for the place simply trying to schedule an appointment I can see exactly why this place has more one star reviews than anything else.
After 20 yrs here, I am leaving. This is due to a dispute over co pays. I am to pay 15% yet they want to charge me 100$ +. I am done.
Always a positive experience, fast and efficient!
Have been going here for at least a year and comparison to UF clinics…..this one gets you in fast! Doctor’s are nice and staff is good . Actually cheaper than UF clinics as well.
I love my doctors and the fact most doctors I need to see are located all in one place.they even have a lab and x-ray machines on site which makes that easier as well.im so glad I transferred over here 3 years ago.
Scheduled an appointment on the phone. The day of the appointment, I arrive and am told I was never put on the schedule. Met with a nurse practitioner that was not personable and rather rude.
Jeremy up in the lab consistently gets things done whenever I get stuck with doctors not putting their orders in or whatever other cross-office issue. Super helpful dude.
I went in to see Dr.Rodriguiz and thought at first this is my man he explained everything I was experiencing in detail so blood work and x-rays were ordered.To my amazement it showed nothing,then a complete blood work panel was done and …
I’ve gone to Southeastern Women’s health for several years. I’ve had only good experiences with the employees and Dr Nair. Everyone is kind and professional, and everything is always clean
I sentmy 84 year old mother to pain management with Dr Leber she was given over to the other side where a assistant of Dr Puwenta and she hurt my mother she has been in a wheelchair for over 16 years she push up and down her spine without …
Doctors’ are good but you have to call over nine to ten times to get ANYONE to answer the phone. After you get an answer no one calls you back so, this time I left a message maybe someone will call but not holding my breath .
So far I see all my specialist and my primary care at simed just easier for me I have a lot of things wrong with me I have to see like eight different specialist and it’s easier that they’re all in one place however I’ve been in the …
I called to try to change my appointment, and the woman to whom I was speaking was not at all friendly. I asked her where she was located, as I’m not from Gainesville, and she said “Gainesville.” Then she asked if I knew what the building …
Careful using their wifi. You have to log into Facebook to use the wifi and Facebook then posts your check in. Friends and relatives contacted me with concern as the post apparently stated I had checked into a mental health facility. The post has a picture of Simed which does look like a small hospital. Dr Sveska seems great though.
I used to wonder why this place has such poor reviews . Now ive experienced what everyone else has.
The way they treat their patients is disgusting.
They don’t answer the phone no matter what time I call. I’ve been waiting 3 weeks for ultrasound results but every time I call, if somebody answers, I am transferred and sent to voicemail.
So I put in an application to work for Simed. They reviewed my application and we scheduled a phone interview. On the day and time scheduled, I never received a call or even an email. I decided to call them at 3 o’clock that same day and …
This place is a nightmare!
Not only you cannot get ANYONE ON THE PHONE EVER!!
After more than a week trying to get on the phone with someone for an …
I’m here to offset the 1 star reviews. I’ve used several doctors within SIMED (Dr. Grover and Dr. Balbis and Beverly Nelson (ARNP) and have never been unhappy. I’ve never had an issue having my phone call answered or making an appointment. …
The doctor typed on a computer the whole time and did not even examen me.
She did not explain anything at all including follow up care and whether there …
The Doctor never followed up and sent any scripts. Then I was asked to come back to get script at my expense. No follow up and I am just a number. To be fair that’s how most of my Doctor experiences have gone in recent years. I don’t recommend SIMED.
Dr Harris is extremely knowledgeable.
I highly recommend her. …
Dr. Paulian and receptionist are breath of fresh air. Very polite and professional. My well being is in good hands. The billing department on the other hand, could use much refresher training. It could get frustrating getting them to correct their billing errors.
I go here for the Novavax trial, and it’s a good experience. The people here are friendly, especially the phlebotomist Michelle who’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. The building is nice and they seem to have a lot of different things going on at once here.
I am very quickly leaving this money mill. The doctors for the most part are good but all simed wants is your money. Many a good doctor has been ruined by there uncaring office staff. I like another post am waiting for a call back that I am …
They do not listen to your symptoms and try to help you. Never again.
SIMED’s lab is just awful. I waited for two hours – you can’t make an appointment for blood work – and there was no social distancing. I had to get more blood work done, so I went to Quest instead. You check in, and you can wait in your …
My husband was treated horribly. They were rude and insulting They have no bedside manner. He used
protective gloves and a mask and was harassed for doing so. I am furious! …
Sabrina is very unhelpful, rude and condescending. When I asked to speak to someone else she stated there wasn’t anyone else and that she was the manager which is very doubtful. Then she proceeded to call my number several times and hang …
I love the fact that ally Dr.s are all in one building ( or most are here) all in same group related they have Primary care .. urgent care..and different specialist all through this one group SIMED !! All the Drs here are wonderful.. very …
My Significant Other has a poor memory and is a quadriplegic unable to use his hands to write down instructions. After multiple calls and 4 business days (make it 6 if you include the weekend that he was unable to take the meds due to …
I have an appointment later this afternoon but I am seeing a lot of comments about the receptionist’s staff phone manner. I can say that they individuals I spoke to during three separate calls were caring and professional. I will post an updated review after my appointment.
I have been a patient of simed for many years now I needed an urgent appointment my doctor schedule was full I was put with a different doctor..
That different doctor was such a wonderful experience Dr Gupta is knowledgeable caring, considerate and concerned when it comes to her patients needs..
My review is for Dr. Lim. I love her and recommend her. She is very popular though so hard to get an appointment. The new setup for check in seems to work well. I like that there is a lab on site.
This place sucks and does not care about you as a patient. I went in for my annual and telling the Dr. about other symptoms I was having. Why is the annual showing up normal? I dont think so. I will get a second opinion. Then the Dr. wanted …
Remodeled Doctor waiting room now has more check-in personnel and serves more Doctors. Shorter wait times. Dr Elder is the best family practitioner. He makes rounds every A.M. at NFRMC.
I have changed my mothers and I PCP to one of their doctors and I have been trying to call to schedule an appointment it no matter what time of the day I call they would never pick up my call or return my call. I am glad I read these reviews and now I will probably find a new PCP some other place.
Dr Lefkowitz practice is the worst I have ever been involved with.The staff is incredibly rude and the Dr. is usually unavailable to see patients. He’s only in the office twice a week. …
I have RA and I visit the rheumatologist, Dr Kosboth. I love her so much, she has helped me to keep my RA under control. I highly recommend her!
I recently switch Doctor. My Primary Doctor now is Dr. Gupta. She is very knowledgeable and caring Doctor. She would spent time to listen to her patient.
Just left my third voice message with the Arthritis Center requesting a call back to make an appointment. I have called at random times many times over the past week and all I get is the recording to leave a message! Update: At 4:30pm, received a call from a very pleasant staff member and an appointment was made.
Don’t care about patients just love over charging. Rather be in pain.
Primary Care is excellent at this facility but the Women’s Health Services here are atrocious! They over bill your insurance, will provide misdiagnosis and then LIE as if they didn’t tell you the WRONG diagnosis, they don’t listen to your …
Absolutely horrible! I called 3 times over the course of 2 weeks and left messages to schedule an appt after my dr sent a referral. I finally had to go into the office to schedule it because no one would return my calls. I showed up early …
Started out as five stars because they got me a same day appointment…then they called to see if i could come in right away. Bonus!
Been here well over an hour now and still haven’t seen anyone. Almost time for that appointment now… so what was the point in calling me to come in early?
Both I and my wife Had an 11 and 11:30 am appointment with our primary care Dr. After arriving early, 10:15, and being forced to use the new mini computer terminals and fill out repetitive information paper work we were told at 10:55 that …
I called Newberry location to regarding Free Gov paid, Rapid Covid Testing.
Shame on Simed Health!!!
Free Covid Testing!!! They are charging $150.00 first timer plus $30.00 Handling …
Bad customer service, if you’re a new patient trying to get a doctor, good luck, they won’t call you back. I can see why they have bad reviews.
Scheduling in a nightmare. You can leave message til the cows come home and no return call. I suppose that’s one way to cull patients. I can’t believe the very good physician I see (Dr. Bailey) approves of such. You are only as strong …
The care is fine, so far. But the directions to the office were completely wrong as sent to me by their email! They know there is a problem and have know for YEARS but they just don’t care(Lady Lake , Fl office). But I find it unacceptable …
Terrible service. Rude workers. The design of the building is TERRIBLE, makes it IMPOSSIBLE to check in. They literally had me wondering around the building, with employees giving me false information which led me to the employees’ side of …
SIMED Allergy and Asthma is very disorganized and made me feel like they didn’t care about me as a person. It took them 3 weeks to call me after my doctor submitted a referral. When I showed up for my appointment the next week, they told me …
My family was enlisted with SIMED health care since 2014.
Our primary doctor name is David Lefkewtch MD (best doctor I’ve ever had).
Recently I have had an appointment for my parents last Wednesday on dated Feb …
If I could give them zero stars I would. I called to get out of pocket rates because my insurance doesn’t cover pain management. I was completely brushed off by everyone. As soon as they heard MediShare they assumed it was some form of …
Poor customer service, staff morale is disturbingly low, staff talk about how bad the company is and the poor treatment. Needless to say I go back because I have to in order to get my treatment. Management needs to watch how they talk to …
I have been a patient of dr Linda Grover for over 20 yrs, I have always been able to call directly to her office and speak to a receptionist. Now I cannot get anyone to answer the phone.i was there was for an appointment on Wednesday there …
The operation went ‘ok’. But, the bill was not clear and the expectation was set so that they could perform the operation and it wasn’t going to be too expensive. Well, it was quite expensive for a simple procedure. The worst part is that …
I saw two different doctors here. One, a lung doctor, didn’t check my history, didn’t check my O2 sat, didn’t take a stethoscope to my lungs, didn’t have me use a spirometer, didn’t even have a nurse check my BP/HR/respirations, but somehow …
Very upsetting experience with Rachel at the chiefland office. First she sent my referral to the wrong place. A referral for a stat head ct. Then when she sent it to the right place she didnt send authorization. When she finally sent …
I went to their urgent care and was told they could not assist me. I went from their office to the emergency room due to the doctor’s inability to treat me. I, however, was sent a bill because the doctor told me he could not assist me. …
I saw Dr. Mary Hurd on March 3rd for my yearly physical. I was told by the office that my insurance was going to cover for my physical. They charged me $90 extra for couple of referrals that Dr Hurd has noted. I asked to talk to the office …
Awful service- the doctor I love moved to SIMED so I followed her there. Getting registered as a new patient was a huge hassle as the office staff had trouble keeping track of my information and there have also been several times my …
I am giving this review for Karen and Dr. ALI because they are very caring individuals. As far as some of the staff in the office I will give a one star especially for a staff called Lorraine she is very unprofessional and rude, she cut me …
I am very upset. I made a few call to inquire about Simed health becoming my new PCP. I spend the time getting in touch with my insurance company to make the change. Today after many calls to them received a call telling me that they can’t …
My first time ever going to physical therapy, I arrived a few minutes early but they sent me back for therapy about 15 minutes late. The therapist came in the room, not introducing herself or greeting me and said because I was late she …
Dr. Grover is very nice, but the receptionists do not make anything easy. My friend had to wait 5 months to get an appointment and everything aligned, which could have been shortened drastically with better communication.
I have been there 2X . Once for a check up with a doctor. About a 15 minute wait and for blood work also about a 15 minute wait also. Not bad. Nice people.
Our primary care doctor was assigned to this location through insurance so i contacted them to make an appointment three times, no one answered, so i left a message with my name and number and what I’m calling about! After a week NO ONE …
I have requested to see a Dr there and instead of trying to find one for me, they just said the Dr isn’t taking any new patients. I have extreme pain from fractured spine and vertabra fusion so I need a Dr that can get me on the right …
I gave up on Simed, too many problems.I had my physical scheduled then cancelled multiple times. I was rescheduled at least a half dozen times. This person would do it, then she or he would do it. Then suddenly they are out of the …
Never had a problem here seeing doctor, having test done, or long waits for appointment.
Dr. DePaz and Dr. Harris are excellent pain treatment combo. He listens and she sticks the needles. I have never had trouble with staff, mainly because I utilize the tech check in and payment system. As far as I can tell those that complain have never been treated at the VA, or they would know how lucky they are.
I am now done with Simed and the Chiefland office. Had previous problem with front office staff getting a reasonable appt. as a current patient. Doctor spoke with me and assured that anyone there would have been able to see me. Stayed …
They just sent me a bill for a 2019 office visit and claim to have sent me bills prior to that but I did not receive them. Went in for an annual physical and told doctor about other symptoms I was having and they billed my insurance for …
Getting anyone in the office to return your phone call is a headache. Their website states they will process your prescription refill in 72 hours or less, Its been 5 days… still no word even though I have called two times. The hold times …
Wait time sometimes can be longer than usual. It seems most of their patients are oldery people with medical issues and I think it is the right thing for providers to spend proper time to find out the issue rather than rushing people in and …
Dr. Balbis is the best and that’s about it. I needed to refill my Heart Burn meds and Dr. Balbis needed to see me so he could renew for this year. So with Covid 19 I was not wanting to go in to any doctors office especially for heart burn …
This place is the absolute worst. They are shady liars each dr is garbage. He only care for himself and people like him. Please read reviews before coming to this place. He is very lazy pathetic neurologist. I had covid and was kind enough …
I have tried multiple times to schedule an appointment with Dr. Sarah Osian. I was able to get ahold of Sharon
only for her in haste to tell me I needed a referral. The referral was obtained …
I should’ve paid attention to the overall reviews and rating. But I was in need of a primary physician due to my last one leaving Gainesville and I caught COVID so I needed someone right away. But horrible communication skills and fails to …
I’ve been a patient with Simed for 6yrs. I’ve referred my friends and family members. There is no such thing as the perfect place but? The doctors at Simed have always treated me in kind. Very professional and straightforward.
I’ve only had negative experiences (and ridiculous charges) from the OB/GYN department. I had to wait three months just to get an appointment with any of their doctors. The front desk staff are rude and never answer the phone during their …
Had a 1:30 appointment. Arrived at 1:15 with paperwork completed from their website in hand. …
I would give a zero if you had that. I had a virtual appointment with Dr Gabriela DeMori and it was the absolute worst experience I have EVER had. I was a new patient as well as my wife. We spoke to his office the day before to be sure our …
There is always an issue with the billing. Every single. time.Also I felt like I was not listened at all by my nurse practitioner and she didn’t wash her hands are clean any of her equipment before entering the room. Definitely looking for a new primary care
Was a wonderful bunch when dr lloyde was there, sorry bunch in there now..can’t keep they’re lies straight can’t get you the right medication (dr prescribed a medication and the one that had it sent to the pharmacy put in something different so I received the wrong meds.) Policy changes depending on who answers the phone..
I had a wonderful experience going here. I called before I went in, and was nicely greeted and my questions about wait times were quickly answered. There was only a short 30 minute wait. When I arrived, I was warmly welcomed. The wait time …
I have NEVER experienced such disrespect, inconsideration, unprofessionalism & negligence as I’ve been subjected to by the “receptionist at the Spine & Neurosurgery Center! …

I come here for my primary care physician, I’m also in the Covid-19 Novavax trial, and I’ve had a few pop-up visits. In all the visits, the staff was very friendly and remembered me from previous times. They made sure I was comfortable and …
I called the scheduling office a few weeks ago to schedule an appointment. I had to leave a voicemail and they got back with me the next day. All of that was fine. I needed to cancel my appointment because of a family emergency and I …
Haven’t been in the clinic yet, though I’ve had a great experience with the receptionist so far. She was very nice and took my request to change my appointment back and forth to fit my schedule. Will update on my experience after my first …
I have a procedure scheduled for next week and the lack of communication, miscommunication and now the call from pre-op telling me that I will need to pay an absurd amount on the day just for facilities, and then expect a bill from doctor, …
My name is VP. I should have looked at all the 1 star reviews before going to you for 6 months until I had to find a new primary that Cares about the patient and not money. Here money and profit is first and patients are second. They will …
Poor customer service with her staff they never smile always look mad they have to work. It’s hard to get referrals to specialty at anytime they never answer the phones or return messages to patients. But when you come to the office they …

My doctor, Gabriele Demori is excellent! I’m very, very pleased with his care, manner and knowledge!
However, don’t pay in cash at front desk before service unless you get a …
Went to the urgent care, was seen immediately. Staff and doctor were very kind and addressed all of my concerns.
This physician practice offers drive-in doctor’s appointments for patients with symptoms, as well as covid testing, of course billed to my insurance. The office staff was very compassionate in setting up my appointment. The doctor was skilled and professional, a member of the practice team for some time, not a new employee.
Iam a new patient of Dr. Gupta. Switched primary from Chiefland. Dr. Gupta was as good. If not better than they get!! I was very pleased with at my appointment!! She was 👌
throvery throu …
Wow, this place for a doctor’s office is crazy. At least the neurology section. They have no idea what they are doing. A referral from my doctor was sent and they confirmed as set an appt then after arriving at the place for appt they had …
Dr. Nair is the sweetest!! She and LPN Jane made me feel very comfortable. Any questions or concerns I had, they answered. Very friendly staff (especially the receptionist) I was in and out, no super long wait time at all.
Had an appointment for 9:10am. Gave them a call @ 9:00am to let them know I would need to reschedule as I didn’t have my insurance and photo ID. I was threatened with a $50-$100 fee if I didn’t show up to my appointment by 9:25am. I sent …

I was very apprehensive about coming to SIMED after reading the reviews but am happy to say the reviews haven’t been reflective of my experience at all. The nurses and staff have all been patient kind and go above and beyond any chance they …
After attempting to schedule with this facility for approximately 3hours I gave up. Good luck if you are attempting to schedule a new pt apt. Best wishes.
There are not enough wonderful things to say about Dr Nair. Dr Nair understands the female body and can explain it in very elementary terms if you need her too. She knows and remembers her patients, not only their medical history, she also …
Trying to call is totally frustrating. Called both main number on two different days and on hold for over 25 minutes with no answer .Called my primary phone number and put on hold for over 15 minutes no answer 2 days in a row.Called and …
First experience doctor gave contradictory meds and almost killed me. Second visit during hurricane they didn’t call patients to reschedule. This place sucks and doesn’t deserve the one star. I would rather suffer than go here. To Dr Murphy and her staff F you!!!
The front office folks at SIMED have consistently let me down, failing to return messages and leaving my medical concerns unaddressed. I cannot even get back in with my doctor to address these concerns firsthand before there is a 3+ month wait for appointments, even for returning patients. Do better for your patients.
Do not waste your time at Simed Health and with Dr. Justin Yancey. It was my first visit and he did not want to see me. I spent 10 to 15 minutes there, and Dr. Yancey’s answers to all of my health questions were “I don’t know. I don’t know …
I’m sitting here yet again an hour after getting here. Still nothing. Every time I go see Eric Catlin, Its a 3 hour situation! Besides sitting, pacing, standing waiting, I hear the entire staff laughing. It’s a pain management place. But …
First of all my DR. was great but that’s where it ends. Staff is incompetent, unhelpful, detached and down right rude! Wait time was outrageous. 2 hrs total. I am disabled and have a Service Dog for my needs. It is know about my disorder. I …

NEVER GO HERE! The staff and doctors are friendly, but they are terrible when it comes to insurance. I was not informed up front that I was out-of-area for my insurance, and they not only saw me once but twice, before I knew that my visits …
Terrible service. The dr I saw there was amazing!! Been a patient here for over a year. I cancelled 2 appointments they cancelled 1.
When I went for my appointment today they said that I had too many missed …
My problem is with the check-in staff. I arrived 30 to 45 minutes early for my appointment. I had to fill out my information on a piece of paper and give it to the staff and go sit in my car because of my symptoms. My appointment time came …
Everyone was extremely professional and kind. I was taken in a few minutes before my appointment time, and made to feel very comfortable and at ease. The doctor is a lovely, kind woman Who answers all your questions honestly, and makes an uncomfortable situation so much better. I would recommend her to anyone.
