He takes a holistic approach, not just treating your current issue, but also focusing on the inter-workings of your day to day life. He takes time to get to know what life is like for you outside of his office. He makes sure to ask very thorough questions and keeps amazing documentation of each visit. The service is always prompt. If I had a standing appointment, I am taken back to my room within minutes. The entire staff is friendly and makes you feel as if they know or remember you. If you are new to the area or just looking for a great primary care doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Gowda!

There was another person who walked in same time as us that also got turned away. They need to update their hours, website and hire more caring and compassionate people.

My experience with Dr. Micheal J. Given was frustrating and unnecessarily stressful. I was…read morerepeatedly told my condition was serious and required urgent action, yet when I asked for clarification, a written list of lab orders, or for results to be uploaded to my chart so I could review them myself, I was told the office was too busy. He sent me for blood tests I had already completed, and when I called to ask whether that was a mistake or medically necessary, I was told, "If you don't want to take them again, don't." The issue was not willingness. It was whether the repeat testing was actually needed. A follow up telehealth appointment lasted about 22 minutes and did not meaningfully review my results (the whole reason for the appointment). I later had to confirm on my own that a significant test was normal. When I asked about an abnormal gene result, I was told to "look it up on the world wide web." After researching it myself, I learned that the severity is typically determined by testing a level associated with the gene. I repeatedly asked about that testing the level and received NO response. (When I later saw a new pulmonologist, that was the FIRST step recommended.) During the same telehealth visit, he asked whether I was on oxygen. As a pulmonologist managing my care, that information should already have been known. When I asked whether I should be on oxygen, the response suggested that the question itself was unreasonable rather than offering any medical explanation. He also suggested that I consider quitting my job (I travel for work) because of this situation, despite the fact that I rely on my employment for health insurance. Recommending that I leave my job before there was a clear diagnosis or full understanding of my condition was not practical guidance and felt disproportionate to the information available at the time. ALSO, duplicate claims were processed through my insurance for the same services, which added additional stress. After transferring care to a new pulmonologist, I have learned that my condition is far less severe than it was initially presented by Dr. Given. The difference in communication, professionalism, and overall approach has been night and day with my new pulmonologist. Based on my experience, I would not return.

Dr. Ros impressed both of us with his caring attitude, professionalism and willingness to spend the time with us necessary to answer our questions and leave us feeling great about our decision to make him our primary physician.

I had no complaints about him and his staff until I tried to cancel an appointent well before a 24 hour window. I had to unexpectedly leave town on a weekend. I thought I would either get an answering machine or a live service that would relay a message to the practice. Instead the phone just rang and rang and left me with no means to leave a message. I did this for most of Saturday morning. I finally gave up and left town due to an emergency. When I returned home I found a message on my answering machine left later on that Saturday, from one of the staff stating that I had an appointment on Monday and if I needed to call and cancel it, to call this number. It was a number completely different then the one I had on file. Of course I was not there on Monday and they started billing me $25 for a missed appointment. I refused to pay the bill and have just learned they have turned it over to a collection againcy. Dr. Chomer needs to get a reliable service to take his messages or buy an answering machine. If his staff forgot to set up the phones correctly then he needs to hire competent employees. The office itself isn't exactly up to medical standards when it comes to appearance either. I guess that should have been my first clue that they are not well organized.

My barely 25‑year‑old daughter, Taylor, died after what multiple independent physicians and an…read moreautopsy have confirmed was reckless medical negligence and neglect in an HCA Florida Hospital where she was taken after being rear‑ended at a red light. Her internal bleeding went undiagnosed for about eight hours despite glaring signs. Once imaging was finally ordered and active internal bleeding was confirmed, surgery was delayed for roughly seven more hours. In the meantime, the doctor ordered mass blood transfusion in an improper way that worsened her condition instead of stabilizing her, while failing to move the central line that was improperly placed and that the radiologist recommended be repositioned. HCA Healthcare has faced no consequences, and there is no way for people researching physicians through the Florida Department of Health (DOH), the medical licensing board, to see what happened to my daughter. Because she was 25, unmarried, and had no children, Florida's 'Free Kill' law strategically blocked me from pursuing legal recourse to ensure the hospital and its physicians are held accountable so the harm does not continue. If you or your loved ones rely on HCA Healthcare in Florida, please take time to learn how this system really works and how families can protect themselves.
