She sat behind her computer, briefly stated that the x-ray looked fine, and ended the appointment without ever physically examining my hand. Asking follow-up questions felt like pulling teeth. Because of this lack of hands-on care, my pinky healed rotated. After switching to Coastal Orthopedics, another provider explained that rotation cannot be seen on an x-ray--it requires a physical examination. Now, surgery is my only option to correct my finger. When I became visibly emotional and cried during my final visit upon learning this, Cassie Gruber simply brought in another doctor to calm me down rather than acknowledging her oversight. I strongly advise against seeking care at this practice. Seems that patient care isn't a priority here.

I worked in healthcare for 30 years and would have sent her home to dress appropriately. Thankfully her NP at later visits was intelligent and educated. The business never considered how many appointments were authorized for me and just saw me continuously until they ran out and then told me to go get more so I could continue my care. The NP told me that the office would request PT for me then 3 weeks later when I called they said they I needed to do that which delayed my physical therapy by 6 weeks; that's a lot for a broken dominant hand wrist. I will never go back there.

This is a large group with many offices in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I've been a patient for…read moreabout 8 years, but am now looking for alternatives as it is very hard to be a patient here - you have to put up with a fair amount of "attitude" from the office staff. (I have been using the Potter Park office, but recently moved and will probably try another of their offices/MDs.) On the plus side: I did like my MD - and I need someone local just for those times I might need an antibiotic. The annual check ups are quite brief. Some blood work, a look in the eyes, ears, listening to the heart, and a bit more. Never more than 15 minutes, but that is pretty much the norm it seems, unless you go to a specialist for an extensive work up. The nurses are nice, but you can expect to be on hold for ten minutes or more every time you call. It took me 19 minutes this morning to reach a nurse for some information. I had left instructions for them to leave the info in my voice mail - but that is apparently too much to ask. It's been like that for all 8 years. And they don't seem to keep their files well organized. Trying to get documents from another specialist, even one of their own in another office, into your file for permanent storage is sketchy and unreliable. Example - a few years ago they had a really tough time getting a copy of my colonoscopy results, even though it was done by another doctor in their group. Good thing I saved my copy and brought it in. Having an out of town doctor send paperwork in to them sometimes got in my file, sometimes not. The office staff seems to regard it as a huge inconvenience. They did switch to a new computer system a few years ago, and it seems to have improved things, but I wouldn't rely on them to keep critical paperwork. The group has expanded over the years - they have their own blood center apparently - and I guess they have figured out how to work the system to maximize insurance payments and minimize costs. In short, don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.

Discharged Without Notice -- Serious Communication Failure…read more I was very disappointed with Intercoastal Medical Group, Beneva Road. My doctor discharged me without any notice, even though I am 80 years old, and had been on prescribed medication from their office for a long time. Without renewal, there is a risk of serious health consequences. Communication was also difficult, and when I tried to discuss my concerns, I was told they don't share email contacts for managers or doctors. I hope Intercoastal Medical will take greater responsibility for continuity of care and clearer communication with patients.

I had a severe fall that left me with a torn rotator cuff and nerve damage to my shoulder which…read morewent down to my hands & fingers. I went to two Orthopedic surgeons who both said I needed rotator cuff surgery. A few people (two in the medical field) told me to have Dr. Schofield do my surgery, so I went to him expecting to make a surgical date. He looked at my MRI, did some manual tests on my shoulder movements which were very limited and said that I don't need rotator cuff surgery and that I have a frozen shoulder and to increase my PT. I was shocked and thrilled that I sought a third opinion. My shoulder is getting better with increased intense PT. Sadly, the nerve damage in my shoulder which is affecting the use of my dominant hand might need surgery and Dr. Schofield is helping me find the right surgeon for this unusual surgery as there's no one in Sarasota that does it. Dr. Schofield is kind, soft spoken, explains things well and listens to my questions and concerns. His staff are all very nice, and the only negative is that you can't leave a voice message. If they're answering another call the recording says to call back and then disconnects.

This is going to be a long story, but I hope this could help someone…read more My ankle was broken with a ligament issue, and I was referred to see a specialist. The main office couldn't figure out the referral form from my primary doctor for 3 days, while telling me to call them to send the right paperwork, when I didn't even know what that was. After I told them I'd find another surgeon, they magically sorted it out. (Btw, this doc doesn't know how to use any modern tech. I was at 1st appt for over 4hrs). I got my surgery scheduled with Dr. Bright very soon. I had a plate and screws inserted into my ankle, which took about 2 hours. My main issue with care was that I was not given any pain medication but told to take Tylenol, although I have no history/issue with it. I had to call the next day and plead for medication while crying in pain. Also, I kept falling during my rehab, which my PT reported to the surgeon. His note should've raised a red flag, but my surgeon or office never called. When I went to see him, he briefly looked at my X-ray and my ankle and recommended removal surgery. I ended up getting surgery from a different doctor, and he said that my ligament was torn, and this should've been easily seen from an X-ray when I was injured at the beginning, and this should've been fixed during my first surgery. Why should you have a surgeon who barely listens to you, reads your charts or notes before coming into your room, or checks your updates from PT? I'm still suffering 2 years later after 2 surgeries; this may be permanent. Do not get close there.

During all of my visits. which were 10+, the therapists were more interested in talking with their coworkers about the dinner they were gonna have or the movie that was on the TV in the room and just ridiculous interaction in front of patients. From what I could see, including myself, patients were pretty much ignored. You were given repetitions to do you did them and maybe the PT person came back in a timely matter and maybe not but their focus was not on their patients. Their focus was on themselves. I really question the level of supervision that these people have, I have been to places like this, and I never return to them.

My visits with him are usually 12 to 14 month apart. Recently I showed up at his office 2 1/2 hours early for my appointment as I entered the wrong time in my phone calendar. After finding out I live 25 miles from the clinic his nurse, Lori, very kindly worked me in after their last morning appointment, thus delaying their own lunch by 20 minutes but it saved me almost 2 hours of waiting. He and Lori are exceptional as that kind of consideration is not common in today's world. On a side note, 15 years ago I was thrown from my horse and broke both bones in my lower leg. Although lower extremities are not his speciality area, he was the KWOC surgeon on call, and did an perfect job putting plates and screws in both bones. My leg healed perfectly. Thank you Dr. Klein!

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.
