Out of all of the Doctors that I visited during my time living in Bradenton/Sarasota, Dr. Okuhara…read morewas by far the best. If I were to ever move to the area again, she would be my first choice. She believes in preventative care and is extremely professional. Her offices are clean and well run, she truly cares about her patients, and she is easy to talk to. Since money was always an issue for me, she went out of her way to give me samples or discount coupons on my prescription medications, when they were available. She also made sure to discuss every aspect of life with me that would affect my health; such as diet, stress, excercise, family history, and overall well being. She has also given me excellent referrals and worked with my insurance companies to make sure that my preventative care is covered. Sometimes her office staff and nurses can be pushy or rude, since she is in a shared office complex with other doctors.

This review is long overdue! Having moved down from NY where I had wonderful doctors, I frankly…read moredidn't expect in my urban snobbery to find anyone who could compete with the type of medical care to which I was accustomed. Hands down, I discovered that Dr. Okuhara excels beyond my several decades of experience in going to doctors. If the criteria include: 1) Professional competence; 2) Time with patient; 3) Diagnostic ability (especially outstanding); 4) Availability; 5) Excellent referrals to top-notch specialists (best experiences with her referrals every time); and 6)) Compassionate billing practices and office procedures, Dr. Okuhara gets 6 stars. cb

That's spot on for Dr. Marciales (Just in case, it's pronounced Mar-see-ah-liss). Since we're in Bradenton, I'm figuring that many folks may be coming here looking for a physician for an elderly family member. If that's the case, you've found your man. We were looking for a physician for my grandmother when we moved here, and heard about Dr. Marciales. Since then (about three years ago), we've found him to be patient, caring, compassionate, competent, and extremely experienced caring for the elderly. He takes the time to discuss with both patient and family, and is always available and attentive. His staff is great as well. Last but not least, I should add that being a healthcare professional myself, this is not an easy review to get from me. Dr. Marciales is as good as it gets here in Bradenton.

I am writing to share a concerning experience regarding the pre-authorization process handled by a…read morestaff member named Tiffany. Over the course of several weeks, I made multiple phone calls in an effort to obtain a time-sensitive pre-authorization for an upcoming MRI appointment. Despite clearly communicating that my appointment was scheduled within four days, I was repeatedly told that the process would take "weeks," without any apparent urgency or attempt to explore alternative solutions. During this time, I was asked to obtain information from the hospital that my insurance company had already provided, resulting in unnecessary back-and-forth communication and added stress. I personally contacted both the hospital and my insurance company multiple times to try to facilitate the process, yet there was little evidence of follow-through or proactive assistance from Tiffany. Additionally, I left messages with my primary care provider's office and did not receive timely responses, which further compounded the issue. Unfortunately, this experience affected not only my time but also my trust in the coordination of care. My husband had taken time off work for an appointment that ultimately could not proceed due to the lack of pre-authorization. This issue was resolved with a 20 minute conversation call to Dr. John Shelton's ENT office. While I value my primary care provider Ms. Megan Hughes and would prefer to remain under her care, this experience has caused me to reconsider due to the administrative challenges and lack of support. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used as an opportunity to improve communication, responsiveness, and patient support within the pre-authorization process. The star rating Attis zero for administrative help. And 5+ for Dr. Hughes

Review of My Experience…read more I'm sharing my experience because I believe patients should know what they may encounter at this office. I was charged a cash "convenience" fee simply for having blood drawn in the office. I also submitted a new insurance/pharmacy card and provided the office with a copy, yet my prescriptions were sent to the incorrect mail-order pharmacy twice. As a result, I was without some of my medication for more than a week. My most frustrating experience involved an appointment. I was running approximately 15 minutes late because I was stuck in traffic, but I called the office while I was on the road and left a message more than an hour before my scheduled appointment to explain the situation. When I arrived, I was told I would not be seen unless I paid a $100 missed-appointment fee. I refused to pay it because I had notified the office in advance and was only 15 minutes late. I asked to speak with the doctor, but I was told the doctor would not speak with me and that the fee would not be waived. Shortly afterward, I received a letter in the mail stating that the practice would no longer be treating me. Overall, I found the experience extremely disappointing. The issues with my prescriptions were particularly concerning because they resulted in me being without medication for over a week. The way the appointment situation was handled also left me feeling that my concerns were not heard or taken seriously. I'm sharing this review based on my personal experience so that others can make an informed decision about where they receive their care.
