Sarasota Medical Center Reviews ( 165 )

  1. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. My wife has several serious medical issues so we have seen doctors all over the state from primary care to neurosurgeons. She has never been treated with more compassion than she …

  2. Nice staff, decent walk-in wait times. Whenever I have a small issue that I don’t want to wait for for my General Practitioner to have availability, this is my go to place.

  3. Bad service. In their schedule they say that the Saturdays work from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I arrive half an hour early and they did not attend to my daughter who had a great pain in her ears.

  4. Absolutely the best !! Its a really good place. They dont try to do a million unnecessary tests for the money like others. Just the one that is necessary..Your in and out. But most importantly your better.😗 love you guys. …

  5. Endless waiting for doctors even not much patients. Did they forget me in one of the rooms waiting for doctors or ignore me for whatever reasons? They were talking and laughing seemly nothing to do but were impatient for answering my inquiries. What a terrible place to see doctors.

  6. Good service and clean! Location is great and staff is very friendly. Need to improve call answering and voicemail returns. Definitely recommend this facility for in and out appointments.

  7. This is my home for my primary care. I have never been to such a well run practice. It has never taken more than 45 mins from start to finish. Thank you for taking such good care of me.

  8. I love this place, they are always so friendly, the doctors and nurses are knowledgeable, and if you make an appt you are in and out quickly. They also will take you if you do not make an appt which is good. Also they can get you an appt asap if you call ahead. Usually they can get me in the next day after I call.

  9. This place is the BEST! I was severely sick for YEARS and no one could tell me why! Dr. Mason diagnosed me in ONE VISIT correctly! The staff an other Dr’s and P.A.s are also AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  10. I have been a po patient of both Dr’s Mason & Aristamondo for several years I heighly respect both physicians I would certainly reccomend their facility, Sarasota Medical Center as your family & urgent care doctors! …

  11. I have been with Sarasota medical group for sometime now. they are a very professional team. they get to your problem right away, and handle it. they are more old school , because they take time with you, and always ask questions., and …

  12. I went in for laryngitis and I was seen very quickly by Dr. Mason. He was knowledgeable, and after feeling terrible for 2 days, he gave me a shot and within 2 hours I was feeling better. Pleasant experience.

  13. I am a local physician that knows the medical landscape of Sarasota very well. I can attest to the quality of care that Drs. Mason, Aristimuno, and Nedelcovych provide. They are excellent doctors and have a great staff.

  14. Sarasota Medical Center has a Medical and Administrative Staff that epitomizes what “outstanding patient care” should always be–putting the Health and Well-Being of the patient above all else, as a Pharmaceutical Rep for the largest …

  15. Trying to get your prescriptions refilled is a task. The pharmacy sends the request but the staff doesn’t respond in a reasonable time frame. Reception staff are top notch

  16. Terrible experience with dr. Jennifer amen. If possible avoid, none of my concerns and questions were resolved, never checked back with me on my results. The last two visits were rushed and more.

  17. Phenomenal staff and excellent care, I needed a note written for my work explaining what I was having done for my auto accident and their office was more than helpful. Their office manager Mark called me directly to make sure that I received the information that I needed. Overall excellent experience. Highly Recommended!

  18. A highly recommended medical practice that specializes in providing outstanding Primary care, Chiropractic, Auto injury care and more. Every member of the medical staff is pleasant, courteous and caring. Exceptional medical team.

  19. I’ve been trying to get my blood pressure meds (which I am totally out of) refilled for 2 days now. The pharmacy has sent several requests with no answer. Left several messages because no one ever answers the phone and have gotten no …

  20. Dr Mason is the most competent and caring physician I’ve ever had. He takes the time to thoroughly review your specific health issues and general well-being.

  21. I am a patient of Dr. Mason and have been a client at the physical therapy office there for several months now. Today I went to use the urgent care service. I signed in at 8:40 a.m. I was shown to my exam room at 8:50. At 10:10 a.m. I …

  22. I “walked in” on 3.7.2019 and must say that i get more impressed with Rae each time she is my attending P.A.
    Her bedside manner is to be commended. She is professional, courteous and is not …

  23. I have been going to this office for six months or so, I overlook the nurses and front desk receptionists shortness and attitudes, because I like Dr. Aristimuno and Dr. Ned. But there is an element of cattiness from the women in the office, …

  24. A friend of mine recommended this Center when I was having severe back and leg pain. I’ve seen both the medical and chiropractic side and highly recommend both. …

  25. Horrible customer service, rude rude reception staff, telephone prompts when trying to call for general information make you go through many minutes of stupidity, out of touch with anything that resembles customer service. Not commenting on physicians only the horrible reception staff. AVOID if at all possible!!!!!!!!!!

  26. I called this morning to see if I could book an appointment with a Doctor at Sarasota Medical Center and was able to get scheduled a few hours later. The nurses were lovely and Doctor was very thorough – I left feeling confident and happy.

  27. I had a terrible experience at this clinic. The exam was a joke. The nurse who took my vitals walked in with gloves already on-touching door and drawer handles to find what he needed. He didn’t put protective cover on the light they use to …

  28. I’ve been going to this office for the past year and half with my family, the staff is very nice and welcoming. Dr. Mason and Dr. Aristimuno are amazing doctors and show that they care about their patients. I would recommend Sarasota Medical Center to anyone looking for a doctor.

  29. Dr. Ray has literally been the best doctor I have ever had. I get a huge amount of anxiety at doctors offices and when she enters the room I calm down a TON. She explains everything in detail and walks me through everything I need to do to …

  30. Unfortunately Mark McKinley has created and caused an individual in a long term care facility unnecessary trauma , stress , sickness. This individual was Taken by abulance, hospitalized , and had to spend time in the cardiac unit due to his …

  31. Okay, so, I’m not one who writes reviews and as a matter of fact , I’m 61 years young and this is my first. To make a really long story short, my wife and I settled in Sarasota for our future retirement and we needed to establish a family …

  32. I was in an auto accident and was treated at Sarasota Medical Center. The facility is great as are the staff. The program of treatment and therapy was very effective in reducing my pain and discomfort. It’s practically one stop for most auto accident needs; chiro, medical, physical therapy, massage. I highly recommend.

  33. This review is just added to many nightmares I have already read. I went in extremely ill. I was told they didn’t know what was wrong. They prescribed me antibiotics and sent me home. After a week of feeling even worse, I returned. Then …

  34. I would recommend Sarasota Medical Center to anyone looking for a primary doctor; or walk in clinic, if you’re on vacation. The doctors are very pationate about their patients and take the time to diagnose each and every one. All of the …

  35. This is a great place to get medical treatment. My daughter was in a MVA and went in as a walk in patient. She was seen very promptly by Dr Mason. She was then taken back to meet the Chiropractor, Dr. Gaeta, then scheduled an appointment to see him within 2 days.

  36. We have been patients at SMC for 4 years. Dr. Mason, Dr. Aristamuno and medical staff are top notch. We are able to get appointments quickly and the wait time in the waiting room is nominal. The reception staff is pleasant, helpful and responsive.

  37. I’ve been going to this place since I moved to Florida 5 years ago. they started out great. Recently in the last two weeks I’ve been there to get my anxiety under control, I waited close to an hour for a appointment I scheduled (no big …

  38. Dr. Mason is one of the finest physicians that I have ever gone too. When you walk into his exam room you can tell that he is incredibly intelligent and well versed in all things medical. He is a boarded emergency room physicians. He is …

  39. I was so happy i made the choice to establish my primary care with them . From the time i walked in to the follow up with lab results the next day everything was done without having to wait .

  40. The facility is new, nice & very clean. The entire staff members were all completely unorganized we felt as if that it was everyone’s first day. We arrived on time for our scheduled appointments however still waited for 40 minutes until …

  41. Sarasota Medical Center is a very plesant office with a wide range of services provided. The staff is plesant and willing to help you with whatever area you are having issues with. It is great to have not only medical services but also …

  42. This place is a joke. Don’t attempt to reach them by phone, it’s not happening. They don’t pick up, they don’t return calls if you leave a voice message.
    I waited 2 hrs even though there were only 4 people before me. The exam took 3 …

  43. They just do not any better than this. Arrived as permanent resident here in FL last September. Had one heck of a time finding a Doctor who met my high demands. In short order, Dr. Mason saw me for a long existing back issue and jumped on …

  44. Worst doctor’s office I’ve ever encounter. Took my two kids in for a yearly physical. For both of them, the doctor was in there for less than 10 tops and that’s being generous. When the doctor asked if we had any questions, my oldest asked …

  45. I would give it zero stars if I could. I scheduled an appointment as a new patient, Tuesday to be seen Friday. I arrive there at 11:15am, to fill the paper work and the first impression was to see the secretary fighting with a nurse. They …

  46. Please do not schedule a blood test with this office. I am bruised horribly and sore five days after the staff trying to unsuccessfully get blood out of either arm on my annual wellness visit. Go somewhere else.

  47. Had an appointment scheduled for me, but could not make it. Called to cancel, no problem. Called back to reschedule it and no one answered. Have called this location and the one at Siesta Key SEVERAL times in the last 4 weeks to reschedule …

  48. Sarasota Medical Center is a healthcare facility straight from heaven. The all staff from the reception to the check out was full of patient and loving encounters. Healthcare is a very personal experience and I don’t think I’ve ever been treated with more compassion. I recommend this facility for all your needs.

  49. I’ve been here a few times and have an extensive background in the outpatient medical field. Not the best place to visit. The staff seem to be unmotivated part-timers. You don’t know who is who–no name tags or titles. It could have …

  50. I had slightly elevated TSH numbers and was told I had hypothyroidism. They did not order a full Thyroid panel, they simply based their finding on the slightly elevated TSH. They tried to write me a prescription for a synthetic hormone that …

  51. I cant say enough how wonderful this place is! Dr Mason is amazing! He is so caring and he truly does get to the root of the issue your having. He spares no test & leaves no stone unturned to make sure you are getting the best care you can! …

  52. I have been a patient for many years. I cannot say enough good about Rayette Hall, Dr. Mason and Dr. Aristimundo. They are the reason I stopped smoking after 43 years. They care about you. The front desk staff is amazing. Especially Gena. She is friendly, courteous, and professional. She knows her job.

  53. I am a real costumer SO we can put any doubt a side, I Have been a patient of Sarasota medical center for years, Dr MASON and Dr. ARISTIMUNO, Have been so professional accurate and CARING. And all the staff always making SURE the …

  54. Do yourself a favor and create a myQuest account online on the quest website. This will allow you access to your lab information and will send you an alert when the results are in. It is your right by law to have access to this information. …

  55. I appreciate Dr Gaeda’s chiro and the ladies in the front – who are literally spinning 4 plates at any given time. Very busy clinic, but I do feel like they know us by name and they care. Thought it was cute how Noelle went the extra mile to figure out my sons height. 6 ft 6in for the record.

  56. The Sarasota Medical Center provides professional, expedient and detailed medical treatment. The physicians and the entire team at Sarasota Medical Center work as a cohesive unit providing their patients with compassionate care. As a …

  57. This is a busy office yet you never feel rushed! The staff is friendly and approachable and you go to see the Doctor in usually within 15 minutes. I see Dr. Mason every month and he looks and practices medicine like a Doctor in an Norman Rockwell painting! Never rushed and always kind!

  58. If could give this place 0 stars I would, not only did I have to wait 1hr before I was seen but then the nurse that saw me proceeded to argue over the validity of wearing masks as a form of protection against Covid-19. When the doctor …

  59. Wish I could give 0 stars. First it took an hour to even be called in. The nurse and pa were rude. I had stomach issues on and off for years, they wanted to label it covid and basically yelled saying I put them at risk. …

  60. Sarasota medical center has an excellent facility, clean and friendly. The nurse who checked me in Mark/Martin had great bedside manner and overall the staff was very nice. The female PA was prompt to come in, very knowledgeable and pleasant. I will recommend Sarasota medical center to my friends and family.

  61. How much more the company grown, the quality down. This is what is going in on with this Medical Center. For schedule appointment I have to go personally because people do not answered the phone. If you leave a message on answering machine, …

  62. I brought my daughter for lab work and office visit recently with Jennifer Messer the PA. She was excellent! Compassionate and very helpful.
    I received a postcard in the mail with Lab results in 4 days!
    The office itself is lovely. Thank you for a great experience.

  63. I’ve been a patient here a few years; since they were located off of Tamiami trl. I’m sorry to say it’s gotten progressively worse. I used to call and be able to talk to an actual person, schedule an appointment. Now 90% of the time, I …

  64. Been with them for 8 years, 7 of them with excellent service. As of recently the staff has turned for the worst.
    Few have very unprofessional attitudes. I have recommended them over the years …

  65. Please look over the reviews and see clearly what is happening. I experienced similar incredibly long wait times w/ an appointment, unneeded procedures/tests, as well as being made to make another appointment to get lab results back. They …

  66. Today staff made me wait 20 minutes past my appointment time in my car (covid precaution since I came in over a sore throat). I watched them through the window while everyone at the front desk ignored me calling them on the phone to make …

  67. This is a great place. I really like the treatment I get here. No long wait when you come in for your appointment. Friendly and informed office staff. The doctors and support staff are top notch. I’d give them more stars if I could.

  68. They do not care about their patients. They only care about money. They refused to renew medication that they know I need until I came in and paid for a check-up, then told me to leave when I expressed my thoughts on that. They had zero qualms with me leaving without a prescription for medication that I need.

  69. My entire family have been going to Sarasota Medical Center for approximately 15 years. The doctors there are by far some of the most knowledgeable and kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with in my life. My wife and I will …

  70. Doctors are nice enough. The nurses and office staff are curt on the best of days, plain rude on others. They can also be very unhelpful. Once was told to fast and did, only to find out it had been completely unnecessary. Next time I asked …

  71. This place is great! The staff at the front desk are really nice & helpful. The nurse Daniel was super sweet and so was the doctor. I absolutely loved the way I was treated. They helped me out with my Tricare insurance immediately so I …

  72. The Doctors at Sarasota Medical Center are all wonderful, caring people so is the staff. (Dr. Mason is my favorite) Even if you walk in without an appointment you will still receive wonderful care. They take the time to listen and you never feel rushed. I would definitely refer my family and friends to this clinic.

  73. Pleasant and friendly Staff, Jennifer School was very professional and understanding to my condition. Put me at ease with the examination and method of treatment. Felt well cared for and a positive outlook going forward. Add +10 minutes from appointment time if you go before 11am, a lot of traffic early.

  74. My husband & myself are both patients of Dr. Mason. I have only had to have one appointment with him but it went very well and he has nice bedside manner. My husband who has more health problems and has had several appointments is being …

  75. I was a walk-in and was treated like I was the only person that mattered. I know I wasn’t because there were other patients being treated the same way. The chief operating officer (I asked), Mark McKinley, was awesome. I watched as he …

  76. If you are a self-pay patient – DO NOT GO HERE. I needed a simple PPD (TB) skin test for grad school. Over the phone they told me it was $20, in the office they told me it was $50, then I waited AN HOUR to be brought in a room and told I …

  77. The SMC is a dynamic State of the Art Doctor’s Office complete with Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Care in addition to first rate medical care. I have never been to a medical office that offers so many options of care with such …

  78. The Nurse Practitioner saw my partner on Saturday, and it was by far, the worst medical care appointment ever. She seemed to not care if she addressed the condition or not, also couldn’t be bothered with even reading the correct chart!! …

  79. My visit s, while making tarted with a very friendly greeting by a front desk staffer that cheerfully checked me in after the standard Covid check. After waiting about three minutes I was brought back where a nurse checked my vitals while …

  80. Every since Dr. Mason left nothing has been right at this office. Please do not walk in as it states. The wait will be well over two hours.
    I have been a patient of Dr. Mason for years and tried to stay with this practice but after today I will look for another PCP.

  81. Each time I have seen PA Jennifer Messer, my experience has been amazing. She is so knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very helpful. I have left every appointment feeling confident and cared for. The front desk staff, especially Cheryl, …

  82. My mother has been coming here for a few years now to see Dr. Aristimuño. Everyone here, from the front desk to the PAs to the nurses have always treated her so kindly and respectfully, always listening and addressing her questions and concerns.

  83. I have been extremely happy with the care my family and I have received at Sarasota Medical Clinic. Dr. Mason and Dr. A are fantastic. They will take all the time that is required to treat you and make you feel very comfortable. They are …

  84. If I were rating Dr. Nedocovich, I’d give ten stars, but he retired a year ago. He was my doctor for several years, He is definitely one of the Best doctors I have ever had, thorough, professional and friendly. I wish him all the …

  85. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Never have more than a 5-minute wait. They have so many specialties and the doctors are so wonderful! Will never change my doctors office as long as they are here!

  86. The doctors are very good but their staff is not returning phone call like when you need a referral. I have to call every time 4 times and more until they returning the phonecall or I you have to have luck that someone answers the phone. I even called their office manager and he not answering and not returning your phone calls either.

  87. Have been a patient with SMC for 3+ years now. First for help after a car accident, then for other issues. Every Dr, P.A., and nurse in this office is absolutely wonderful. Always happy and helpful. I would recommend them to anyone for anything!!!

  88. My son woke up last Sunday night in the middle of the night with a very high fever. So my wife and I took both kids up to the medical facility first thing Monday morning and they took all of us in as walk-ins and tested us right there in our vehicle. What a convenient service that helped us the same day!

  89. In all my life I have never dealt with a more incompetent and “churn” office. They had an incredible Dr. Mason that was so good he was worth dealing with the office incompetence and very poor customer service. 80% of the time my phone …

  90. Dr. Aristimuno takes time to properly diagnose and treat his patients. Before the end of 2020, I rarely had the need to see a doctor. Several doctors PRIOR to seeing Dr. A dismissed serious pain. This is not the case at SMC. They test and …

  91. I have been a patient at this practice since around 2009 and I have watched a real decline in patient care as Doctors Mason and Doctor “Ned” have both left the practice. I had a major infection that was improperly treated that lead to …

  92. The receptionist was so RUDE!!!!! I asked if I could make an appointment as a new client and she barked out orders to me to call my insurance company and have them list Dr. Joaquin as my primary DR. or else they wont see me. I said but I …

  93. Called Friday for a prescription refill. Told that I must meet w doctor. First appointment over a week away, but walk-ins accepted Saturday morning.
    Arrived 8 am Saturday, place is locked up. Signs on door and web site say open …

  94. We have been patients with this practice for 9 years, and after a great start the experience has slipped.
    I have a billing concern, tried calling 3 times, the person’s voice mail is …

  95. This Physician’s office has been our primary care practitioners since we moved here in 2004. Dr. Mason and his staff are a very talented team and we have always received a high level of service from Sarasota Medical Center. The convenience …

  96. Tried 3 times to get an appointment this week but they will not call you back to schedule. Had 3 different doctors in 4 years there but never got to meet the latest doctor assigned to me. They finally called me back today and said their …

  97. I have been a patient at this doctor’s office for many years and it’s time to find a new practice. Dr Mason owns the business, but i was told he no longer practices. Every since he left, the business has gradually gotten worse. They almost never answer the phone, and they never return your messages. I won’t be going back…

  98. Had an appointment with Dr. Askins and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Was in and out of the office in no time. The office was clean and there was plenty of room to social distance. Everyone at the reception area was knowledgeable and …

  99. Impressive improvements since 2019! Digital records now, minimal wait time to see the doctor (I was <5 minutes in the waiting room.) The staff seemed more efficient, and Covid precautions were strictly enforced. Dr Aristomuno was very …

  100. Ever since my first contact on the phone with Barbara who gave me ROCK STAR customer service, Sarasota Medical Center was WONDERFUL from my very first appointment with Raette Hall. I’ve also seen Jennifer Schook who is very caring, down to …

  101. I have been a patient with Sarasota Medical for 6 years. I mostly see Rae Hall, PA-C, who is very receptive, knowledgeable & compassionate to all my medical issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Dr. Mason and Dr Aristimuno are also very caring and knowledgeable. This medical center is TOP NOTCH!!!

  102. I have been a patient at Sarasota Medical Center for over a decade and they always offered the best service possible. However, I’ve noticed the pace has changed significantly since Dr. Mason left. The past 3 times I’ve gone, I’ve …

  103. Medical care here was acceptable.
    I’ve been trying to pay a $15 charge for the past 4 months. It’s difficult for me to take a medical practice seriously when they don’t have online pay options. …

  104. Oct 8th 10 am and they’re closed. It’s Saturday and they’re supposed to be open until Noon. Phones don’t say they’re closed and no sign on door either. So happy i wasted my time, don’t waste yours!

  105. Dreadful, unprofessional medical establishment. Went in for a yearly checkup to renew my scripts. I handed a paper with current meds and dosage and the pharmacy I wanted to use, including phone numbers to Jennifer Shook. Scripts were never …

  106. The only reason I go here is because of my free insurance and their low copay. The front desk is totally incompetent and usually have a bad attitude on the phone. I had a referral to a specialist that I was told I would get an appointment …

  107. Horrible, non responsive, no one in any area answers phone. I have been unable to get the PA to call me. I was told he was too busy. Unacceptable waiting for 3 days. I have never been to such a horrible uncaring Doctors office.

  108. I really love this therapy center and Dr Askins who did my total knee replacement. I am up walking and almost running in just a few weeks. My therapist Jamie and all the staff there really know what they’re doing. Thank you so much for getting me back in top shape with my new knee. Recommend them highly. Kandie Kader

  109. This office has gone so far downhill I don’t know where to start! I was seeing Dr. Mason for 10 years and now since he left its a NIGHTMARE! I was misdiagnosed saying I chronic kidney disease and Lupus when in fact I have neither. I was …

  110. Dr Aristimuno and staff are awesome. I recently moved to the area and needed a doctor. On my visit, Dr Aristimuno was very kind, professional, and listened to me. He did not rush, took his time, and made me feel comfortable. The staff are also very kind and patient. They all go above and beyond. Will definitely continue to go here.

  111. All the staff was super friendly and quick with getting us in the back and getting taking care of. The clinic is ran very well, we didn’t have to wait long and the doctor was super nice and very observant. Anytime we need to be seen again this will definitely be the place we go to. Thank you SMC staff!!

  112. Prescription refills are denied, with the pharmacy told the patient needs to make an appointment. For every refill of every prescription. Such a money grab!
    I really liked Dr. Mason, and Dr. Aristimuño is very experienced. But the …

  113. Do not go here unless you have a true urgent care need or you can book an appointment with Rae, a great PA.
    I have been going there for my primary care for a few years now and have to go …

  114. I absolutely love Sarasota Medical center. I relocated last year and was looking for a Dr to take on my medical needs. I found the best dr’s a person could ask for, with an amazing bed Side manner. The staff and Dr’s are beyond …
