I am very grateful that they helped me with my little girl. As a parent I always knew my daughter…read morewas a bit hyperactive; but anytime I would ask pediatricians they would tell me that it was completely normal and nothing wrong. Until my child turned 6 and started experiencing anxiety at school; my child's grades have always been outstanding my only issue was that after finishing her work she would hide to get away from the other children. I finally was introduced to Elite DNA and my child & I had an appointment relatively soon thru Skype. The psychiatrist was able to diagnose her based on the symptoms and what she was visually noticing during our call. As a parent I was devastated (Cried and All) but deep down I always knew. If you as a parent or guardian feel that your child needs help please reach out; don't allow them to be the best human being possible. I hope my review could help at least one person out there. Best of luck to you and yours! You got this!!!! My only negative feedback about Elite DNA is sometimes the appointments can be far out (Dates are booked well in advance, at least for pediatrics), and getting a specific person on the phone can be a bit frustrating at times. Overall I would recommend their practice!

Person I talked to was young in training and great. Electronics were delayed 30 minutes not good.read more

I had five encounters with Dr. Fine, who is not "fine" at all. She was cool and distant, and in…read moreonly one encounter, she was kind and helpful. The last encounter was via phone, and she yelled at me and then hung up on me. She was abusing me because I didn't understand what she was trying to ask me. She told me in the first appointment that my use of oxycontin and oxycodone, duly prescribed by a pain specialist, was probably at the root of all my problems--although I have been using the pain meds (as directed) for only 5 or 6 years and have been in treatment for bipolar disorder and PTSD for over 25 years. Treating mentally ill patients in this manner, especially one who suffers from PTSD is not only harmful, but breaks her Hippocratic oath, which states, "first to do no harm." She did me great harm. And, on top of this treatment, she requires patients to wait outside (including in the blistering Florida summer heat of 105 degrees) until called. This included my husband, who has cancer, which she knew about. Her receptionist, Michele, is far more compassionate, showing more concern her patients than she does. Dr. Fine needs help. If you are mentally ill, do not see this doctor, even though you may need to drive hours out of your way. She should turn in her liscense and be reported to the AMA.

Prior to the purchas of COASTAL Behavior Health being purchased by FIRST STEP, I referred homeless…read moreclients to them and they were discharged before they were ready.. One particular female client was raped and suicidal. I called the Sarasota Police Department (SPD) to take them to COASTAL. She was told they would keep her for a week or two and help her transition to go off the street. They discharged her in three days back to the street. I have many homeless clients who said they were overmedicated and could barely walk when they were discharged. However, now that they were purchased by FIRST STEP of Sarasota, I expect the quality of their services to improve greatly. I am sure it will. A homeless friend I have known for years was recently excepted into their 60 day rehabilitation program which I am very pleased to hear.
