I've had a spike in my BP the week before Christmas and have been unable to speak to or communicate with anyone. I left a detailed message the morning of the 23rd and finally got a callback at 3:36pm. I returned the call at 4:03pm and they were closed. The rude answering service said to call back Thursday the 26th (today). I called this morning and the same type of rude person said call back on Monday the 30th. I asked can I leave a message for "Jen" as I was asked to do? The answer was NO, No one's on Call, No one to speak with and you can't leave a message. Sad, the only only alternative is Mayo in JAX.

I had a catheterization procedure done by Dr. Amit Nanavati on 05/26/22. I had been suffering from…read moreafib and was referred by Dr. Huijian Wang to Dr. Nanavati for the catheterization procedure (Wang had done a failed cardioversion and judged that my heart was too weak for an ablation procedure) The catheterization procedure used "contrast", a dye injected to be able to see the heart action. According to my Primary Care Physician doctor, it is a very bad thing to administer contrast to someone with kidney failure and he strictly avoided ordering procedures with contrast because of my chronic kidney failure. Wang and Nanvadi of course knew of my chronic kidney disease (CKD) and issues with using contrast but neither doctor advised me of the issue prior to the procedure. Neither Wang or Nanavadi in fact provided any rationale for my doing a catheterization; I should have been more alert to this but was not sufficiently cautious prior to agreeing to the procedure. I found out that contrast was being used at the very last minute at the very beginning of the procedure (anesthesia was about to start) and told the anesthesiologist doctor (unfortunately his name is not included in the procedure notes) and Dr. Nanavati NOT to go ahead with the procedure, but they went ahead anyway. Notes from the procedure say "All participants affirmatively agreed to proceed with this study". This is an outright lie. The notes also say "The risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure were explained to the patient and informed consent was obtained." This is an outrageous lie: the risks and benefits to the procedure were NEVER explained. After the procedure I noted that my kidneys were not producing any urine for almost a full day after the procedure so I went to the emergency room on 5/27/23, where the ER doctors noted that my kidney function had dramatically worsened after the procedure. My kidney function glomerular filtration rate (GFR) reading after the catheterization went from above 15 to 8, which signifies, according to my nephrologist doctor, "end stage kidney failure", a death sentence. When I told Dr. Nanavati about my visit to the Emergency Room after the catheterization procedure in the post-op on 06/27/22 he said nothing. In fact, he just stood by the door wanting to make a quick exit and offered no post-up updates at all. He just left. Nanavadi is not only guilty of malpractice he is guilty of manslaughter. The kidney failure has caused pain throughout my body (mostly wrists, hands, fingers, legs, possibly gout) and low hemoglobin needing shots continuously for the two years after the procedure and getting progressively worse. Nanavati caused "Contrast-Induced Nephropathy" with the procedure, which is a condition understood and documented, e.g. see "Contrast-Induced Nephropathy" by T. G. Gleason and "Contrast-Induced Nephropathy, Pathophysiology, Risk Factors, & Prevention" by M. A. Hossain. Nanavati should never have proceeded with the catheterization procedure and Wang should never have recommended it.

Not once was I notified or was I assisted to be paired with a comparable physician. Just recently I lost my doctor because he was let go for spending too much time with his patients. Sometimes you would have to wait a bit to see him. This was the ONLY doctor who had a perfect rating as a primary Care with Humana. So again without being notified or assisted to be paired with another comparable doctor. This practice has become the infamous cattle call medical complex practice. Every time I walk in there I alway see faces disappearing and new ones being brought in. It has gotten to be a practice that allows 10 minutes a visit with script to write and you are on your way. My health attention is more important to me than a cattle call visit so the numbers bring in a bonus to the owner Roy Hinman so he can buy a boat or some exotic vacation, finance another office. On numerous occasions I would have a Scheduled appointment only to learn the person I had an appointment for was pulled to assist due to a shortage in one of the 44 offices that Roy Hinman owns. I have gotten to a point where I would call before I left my home to make sure my doctor would even be there. If you check with any of review sites the majority show 2 star ratings. The lack of personal interest of the patient. It is all about how much fat a person can lose and which gpl-1 jab they will push on you. Instead of opening up another office perhaps he should open up weigh watcher clinics. One time I came in sick and apparently my shampoo or deodorant scent offended the doctor and she actually refused to see me. I ended up going to urgent care instead to be seen. Personally I am a licensed CNA and retired Veterinary vet tech. I take get interest in my OWN health. I prefer natural and more of a regenerative approach to my health. This is almost non existent in the practice it is all about popping a pill and your on your way. Of ALL the doctors only one listened to my heart long enough to hear a heart murmur. Schedule an echo and was confirmed. They expect you to take who ever they have available to accommodate your appointment. They have no history with you it is a quick review at best before they walk through the door. If you want a McDonald's drive thru type of medical team then this practice is for you. When I have an appointment with a particular person I expect to be seen by them not some excuse they pulled that doctor for a shortage in another office. If I want this kind of medical attention I will go to an Urgent care center. After losing my primary the ONLY primary with a perfect rating I am now looking for another practice to meet my needs. My experience has me saying look for another practice.
