Dr. Asi took my call on a Saturday morning and saw me in his office in less than an hour to drain the excess fluid that resulted in immediate pain relief. But this wasn't the best part. He worked ordered tests to determine the root cause of this excess inflammation and built a customized plan to put me on a path so I can thrive and live my best life in my 60's. None of this would have happened this quickly with a visit to a typical urgent care. I am forever grateful for his dedication to my health and responsiveness to my needs. Lastly, I also fondly recall being in my optometrist's office and needing information from Precision health's office, and I said "Let me call my doctor" to which the optometrist replied "that will take forever". The look of surprise on my optometrist's face when over the speaker phone my call was answered on the first ring and the answer needed was delivered immediately. Concierge medicine is definitely worth it for me!

Dr. Porter is a thorough and knowledgeable professional. I have suffered with high cholesterol and…read morehypertriglyceridemia for years and had no success managing it with low fat diet and exercise. Dr. Porter ran a much more complete blood panel than was done by my internist. Based on those results she prescribed a diet that restricts carbohydrates. She took a lot of time explaining things and answered all questions that I had. Though it seems counter-intuitive, with continued exercise and the new diet the cholesterol and triglycerides are now near normal. I visited my previous internist for annual physical. She was surprised with the improved numbers and no longer felt I needed to go on anti-cholesterol meds. I was told by my neurologist that I must take Vitamin D- I am very pleased that Whole Health offers the dose that he prescribed and that it's available in a single capsule. The available doses at the drug store required that I take 14 capsules to attain the dose he prescribed. I highly recommend Dr. Porter!

I had been a patient of Dr. Porter's for several years and saw her at least annually…read more Unfortunately, my experience in April 2026 left me disappointed enough that I have decided not to return. I paid $400 for what was scheduled as a 30-minute appointment, but my actual time with Dr. Porter was less than 15 minutes. During that brief visit, she ordered lab work, which I had drawn in the office for an additional $50. When I later called the office to get the results of those tests, I was told that I would need to schedule another appointment--and pay another $400--to have the results reviewed with me. During that same call, I asked to speak with the office manager because I felt I was essentially being charged twice to complete what I considered one episode of care, particularly since the initial $400 appointment had been so brief. I explained my concern and asked whether an exception could be made this time. I also explained that, going forward, I would gladly have my labs drawn before my appointment so the results could be discussed during the 30 minutes I was already paying for. Unfortunately, I found the office manager's response to be curt and dismissive. She stated that this was the office policy. I then asked if she would please take my concern to Dr. Porter for reconsideration, as Dr. Porter would recall how brief our appointment had been. The office manager agreed to do so but indicated that the answer would most likely be the same. She called me back the following day and confirmed that Dr. Porter would still require me to schedule and pay $400 for another appointment to review the results. I understand that every medical practice has its policies and fee structure, and I have no issue paying a premium for personalized, high-quality care. What disappointed me was paying $400 for a 30-minute appointment that lasted less than half that time and then being required to pay another $400 to discuss the resulting lab work, with no flexibility when I raised what I felt was a reasonable concern. After several years as a patient, I expected a more patient-centered response. Unfortunately, this experience changed my perception of the practice and ultimately resulted in my decision to seek care elsewhere.

I was in excruciating pain when I was evaluated by Dr. Berman.. Both of my knees have bothered me…read morefor at least 20 years. I have been to several orthopaedic surgeons who either gave me shots of cortisone or suggested joint replacements. Then I found Sarasota Spine and Joint on Facebook. It appeared several times and I thought why not go for a free consultation, I had nothing to loose. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Dr. Berman recommended me to his partner Dr. Harris who took x-rays and did a thorough exam. He reviewed the x-rays with me and said they did not indicate joint replacements. What a relief. He is kind and personally interested in my well being. He suggested physical therapy and that braces might be helpful when exercising. Two days later I began physical therapy at the same location with Ali Salari, D.C., D.P.T. He was very thorough and laid out a plan for me. I go three times a week and do exercises at home. I just completed my sixth visit. I am a new person. When I woke this morning my pain had gone from a 10 out of 10 to a 0 out of 10 in both knees. After a long day of therapy and grocery shopping, my right knee pain is a 3 out of 10 and the left is a 4 out of 10. This is amazing. They have given me a new lease on life. Up until now nighttime was filled with incredible pain and icing my knees every hour. I was taking high doses of OTC pain medicine. I only slept a few hours a night and the pain would wake me every couple of hours. I haven't felt rested in years. I gained a tremendous amount of weight not being able to exercise. I quit a career in real estate due to not being able to go up or downstairs. We moved into a ranch because I couldn't handle steps, not even once a day. I can't believe only 3 weeks ago I had my first appointment here. Both Tameka and Alex the P.T.A.'s who assist Ali are kind, attentive, and sincerely concerned with my progress. I highly recommend anyone suffering with knee or any joint pain to make an appointment today. The worst thing that can happen is they can't help you. The best thing is you might enjoy a life with little to no pain.

They insisted on making separate appointments for each knee. When the explanation of benefits come from Medicare, we will be reporting the scam.

We didn't but it was nice to know they supported options. Highly recommend

Dr David Sugar, lacks empathy…read more Myself and wife are both patients of Dr David Sugar. Previously we had a problem with Dr Sugar's staff he said to us "if you ever have a problem again, come see me and I'll take care of it". Starting two weeks ago my wife started to suffer with severe pain in her arm and shoulder. Not knowing what it was, she first visited our GP who diagnosed the condition tendonitis and suggested she visit out orthopedist, Dr David Sugar. After trying unsuccessfully for over a week, we decided that we would go to Dr Sugar's office without an appointment and wait to see him. We got there at 12:30 and was advised that if we didn't have an appointment she would not been seen by the Doctor. She explained the severity of the pain and said she would wait to see the Doctor. Fast forward 5 hours when the office manager again told us that Dr Sugar would not see her. My wife then said she only wanted to talk to him. She was told no. Though she was offered an appointment 2 days later, it became obvious it was just a ploy to get us to leave because early the next morning, we received call saying that we could no longer receive medical care from Dr Sugar and that our records were to be transferred to another doctor's office. Obviously Dr Sugar forgot his telling us "if you ever have a problem again, come see me and I'll take care of it". He did not even show the empathy one expects from a Doctor, but even from a decent man. He did not, and could not, find 5 minutes for long time patient in pain

All the therapist's knowledge and education are up to date, so they can find solutions for your treatment and pain. Tony has the ability to think outside the box which helps him make conclusion from his experience.  He was able to see that my pain was not just my knee but also my hips contributing to my pain. I found out he was correct after x-rays were taken of my hips at my doctor's office. All the therapists are patient with the treatment process and remains compassionate when working with challenging patients, like me.  They set realistic goals for me that were achievable. All the therapists had effective communication with me and my doctor by providing progress notes.  What I found was the entire group genuinely care, have compassion and empathy.  They understand how you feel, and they try to see your situation from your perspective.  I highly recommend Gulf Shore Physical Therapy because they provide the best care.
