First physicians Group has several doctors working in the practice providing general medical care…read moreand consultations. It's located next to Sarasota memorial hospital. There is a parking garage and also valet parking if you prefer. My appointment with Dr. Shah almost always runs on time. I rate Dr. shah as an excellent doctor. He doesn't rush me and takes the time to do a thorough consultation. The only reason I am not giving five stars is because of how difficult it is to get through to this office on the phones. It can sometimes take over an hour of waiting. They do offer a call back service but if you miss that then you have to start all over again. Given how busy they are and how many doctors they have, they should really employ more people for the phones. It's often quicker to drive there and speak to the front desk than it is to call in.

Wait time on phone is terrible. If you need help better drive to office, will be quicker.read more

My husband and I would love to know if she is still practicing in the area. FPG didn't handle her departure with her patients very well. No one knows anything and/or they won't say. If anyone has any information as to where Dr Sanders is practicing I would greatly appreciate the information. Her replacement is definitely not up to par (or HER standards).

He is a Concierge Doctor and a little more expensive but in my opinion worth every penny. I am guaranteed same day or next day appointments, I have his personal cell phone and encouraged to use it when needed. But most of all his professionalism, knowledge, his sincere concern about my health is what stands out most. I would highly recommend Dr. Sean Downing.

If Hippocrates actually said "do no harm", Dr. John Yee has developed his own modified version of…read morethe oath. His pledge is to "do great good for those who need you most". Two years ago I spent much of my time moving through life in a wheelchair because of a serious foot injury. I was facing seemingly impossible odds when I met Dr. John Yee. While other physicians had given up on my case, Dr. Yee engaged his unending creative problem-solving skills suggesting unique treatments that resolved my problem and resulted in a much-improved lifestyle. As I began to improve, Dr. Yee suggested that an exercise program would be essential to my regaining strength and balance. He found a gym whose talented owner agreed to work with several of his patients recovering from serious medical issues. Under his direction, five of us we're pushed and challenged and we improved --- and then Covid-19 hit and the gym had to close. Dr. Yee then stepped in and offered to personally teach us martial arts strategies and techniques to continue our recovery using a virtual platform. Dr. Yee now coaches us in strength training, balance strategies and relaxation techniques and we continue to grow physically and mentally. His gentle concern has strengthened our minds, bodies and souls. Because of his concern, I am today a seventy-one-year-old woman, who had never been athletic, exercising 7 days a week, learning taekwondo and feeling stronger than ever. I am proud of myself for never giving up. I know that I owe this new life and confidence to my brilliant, challenging physician / life coach, Dr. John Yee. I will always be grateful to him for making the latter part of my life the best part!

Two years later, the tumor reappeared at the lumpectomy site. Because I had had radiation, a mastectomy was required. When I had asked her about the benefits of a mastectomy vs lumpectomy, she retorted,"Why would you want to look like a flat-chested boy?". Eventually, it became metastatic and I ended up with 2 mastectomies. I'm glad to learn that she retired so she can't harm anyone else.

Dr Silver cared for my mother when she had breast cancer. Ten years later, she cared for her again…read morewhen she had lymphoma. Five years later she took care of my special needs sister who developed multiple myeloma. The care she (and Meg) gave my sister, the extra love and patience for a special needs person, was beyond compare. They worked with us, her caregivers, long distance family, an ailing father and me. When breast cancer came my way in 2021, she was there. A familiar loving face with Meg at her side. The wear and tear on oncologists is tremendous and Dr Silver was a stalwart champion for my entire family. I shed tears when she retired three years into my treatment, and although I know I am in good hands with Dr Lunin, my heart wants Dr Silver and Meg...who were my family. I wish you the most peaceful retirement and thank you from the bottom of my heart for over two decades of looking after my family. I miss you!
