    I am a healthy 42 year old male and I have had two terrible experiences with Dr. Fernandez's office…read moreand would highly recommend everyone seeking a different option. I originally saw a nurse practitioner for my annual physical back in March 2024. We had recently relocated from California and I wanted to receive an annual physical. Annual physicals are included as preventive services under the Affordable Care Act meaning patients cannot be charged for an annual physical (see 42 USC 300gg-13 https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:42%20section:300gg-13%20edition:prelim)). The annual physical was a nondescript experience and I answered the questions the nurse practitioner asked me. Unfortunately, I became very sick in August 2024. After a few days I tried to see Dr. Fernandez and was eventually able to get in to see the nurse practitioner. The office tested me for influenza A&B, COVID, and strep which all came back negative. I told the doctor my son had experienced similar symptoms a few weeks earlier and eventually developed pneumonia. I went home with no medicine. Five more days passed and I was feeling no better and had developed a hacking cough which led me to strain my oblique. It was incredibly painful. I again called Dr. Fernandez's office and was able to get prednisone and a Z-pack prescribed to me but not a cough suppressant because they wanted me to be seen again in a couple of days. They also wanted to perform a chest x-ray which could not be done on site. Because I was feeling so terrible and was in so much pain I ended up going to receive Total Access Urgent Care. There I was able to receive an x-ray the same day which revealed I had pneumonia. They were able to provide me a shot which gave instant relief and a cough suppressant to help moving forward. This was done at a cost of $150 after insurance was provided. I informed Dr. Fernandez's office of this diagnosis and, to there credit, they were apologetic about the care I received and they stated they wished I had seen Dr. Fernandez for my annual physical instead of the nurse practitioner because we had no prior relationship. There appeared to be a lack of trust on the Dr. Fernandez's end in what I was saying because of the lack of relationship. However, if new patients are not provided the opportunity to meet the doctor I don't know how I could have handled this differently. Now to the part that has me incredibly frustrated. A few weeks back I received a bill for the August visit which I don't dispute. However, tacked on to the bill was a charge of roughly $200 for the annual physical in March. At no prior point had I received a bill for this service which made sense to me because the insurer has to cover the entire cost of preventive services which includes an annual physical. Unfortunately, Dr. Fernandez's office had coded the care incorrectly causing a dispute with my insurance company. Currently, her office is refusing to change the coding leaving my insurer unable to cover the full cost of the annual physical. I would highly recommend not seeing Dr. Fernandez as she likely won't be able to see you in person as a new patient, won't trust what you tell her as a patient when you are sick, and then try to screw you on billing. I could not be more disappointed in the services I received from this office.

    Dr. Fernandez is great. She is genuinely caring & looks at the whole body--not just what's hurting…read more Listens attentively and takes her time to come up with a solution. I highly recommend her.

    Dr Usry is a very fine doctor. I felt I was getting quality care from him. My reason for leaving…read morehis care was due to a staff error and him not correcting the error. I had an appointment which I needed to reschedule. They had an appointment 10 days later than my original time so I set up the appointment. When I arrived I was told that I wasn't on the appointment list. The front desk woman told me I no showed my appointment from the previous week and I wouldn't be seen today. I asked him to talk to the doctor and see if he would fit me in as this was not an error on my part, but theirs. I watched her talk to Dr Usry, him shake his head, and then she told me that I wouldn't be seen today, but Dr Usry said I could reschedule my appointment. I told her this would be my last visit to the office....and it was. This was a them problem, not a me problem. They made it a me problem with their error. I understand they may have been overbooked, but once again, that is not my problem. I rescheduled in a timely manner. A Doctors skills matter, but so does their office staff. A doctor who isn't willing to fix the errors of their staff is not someone I want to trust with the care of my health.

    I absolutely love Dr. Kim! I was a patient back in the 2000s, before I moved to AZ. I'm spending a…read morelot of time in STL these days, so when I decided to secure a local PCP, Dr. Kim was the first (and only) one who came to mind. Being that it had been over a decade since my last visit, I was no longer in the system and had to be registered as a new patient. She's a hot commodity, so it was about a 2-3 month wait for a new patient appointment. So definitely plan ahead. Her process is very thorough and efficient, and she is very direct, yet tactful in her approach. You may find complaints on some medical sites because (some) Americans are quick to label directness as rudeness. We have one life, one body... I wouldn't want anyone pussyfooting around when it comes to my health. Shoot it to me straight and fast. I appreciate her level of professionalism and concern. I also thoroughly appreciate how knowledgeable and diverse she is on various matters. For example, how she acknowledges and recognizes that my needs, as a woman of African descent, are unique, instead of lumping my diagnosis and treatment into the general pool with methods that wouldn't work for or benefit me. Dr. Kim is an amazing doctor. If you're looking for a PCP or a doctor who specializes in internal medicine, look no further and give her office a call.
