Ocean Pediatrics - Pediatricians Near Me - Spring Hill, Florida

If I could give no stars I would. Please, never take your child to be seen by this "doctor," unless you want to waste your time and money or losing your child. This individual does not care about your child's health needs; he just wants your money. He will make you come back for unnecessary follow ups just to take it all. Office is chaos, he treats his employees like trash in front of the patients or whomever is watching or listening, he has cameras all over the front desk which I think is illegal especially if they record audio, that's against HIPPA. Office is unsanitary. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

This review is real and based on my one visit experience. The Office staff was very fast and efficient. They went out of their way to get me in that day. The wait time (we were a walk-in on a weekday morning) was none existent. The Doctor was kind and answered all my questions. We did not feel rushed. He wanted a follow up and ordered labs. We were given a prescription which CVS was in the process of making upon our arrival ( 10 minutes ) This occurred after our primary care denied us an appointment that day ( or the next) even when their Doctor knew he had a inner ear infection. ( we were there on another appointment when he looked at my son and confirmed the infection) They said they were booked!!! Ocean Pediatric Care is now my primary care for all my children. This is a true review. And thank you. (I posted this review in Google also) read more

I have been bringing my daughter here for over a year to get allergy shots. They always make us feel like we are a priority and the doctor always makes it a point to make sure we have everything we need to make informed decisions on her healthcare. Yeah we wait sometimes, however I haven't been to a doctor where I haven't waited. The billing department isn't always great but they always get it corrected. Overall I would recommend this doctor and his office. read more

Was referred to this Dr by some local parents. Contacted them to make sure they took my son's insurance prior to calling my insurance and changing his primary to Dr Guirguis. Called back to schedule and appt and was then told to go to their website and fill out the new patient packet, email it and then they would call me to schedule first appt. I immediately filled out the paperwork, got a call the next day saying they had the paperwork and she immediately started asking why my son was on CMS, specifically "what does he have?" I explained it all and she said "ok I'll finishing adding his info in the system, talk to the Dr and call you back". I waited a week and finally called back asking why I had never gotten a call. Well because he was never entered into the system. They scheduled the appt and told me to send over the packet. The day before the appt I got a call saying again that they didn't have the paperwork. I resent the same email and confirmed the appt. We showed up for our appt, singed in on the tablet and was informed we didn't have an appt. So I went to the window and asked why it said we didn't have an appt. She looked in the system and said it was cancelled because they again didn't have the paperwork. I explained to the woman that they did in fact have it, not once but twice. She looked and magically couldn't find anything. Both my emails had been deleted. Then she proceeds to tell me that they don't take our insurance even though it says on their FB and website that they do. Then the woman at the desk proceeds to ask me why my son is on CMS again, "does he have ADHD?" I said UMMMM no, he's medically complex and she says to me "oh we don't take CMS for those kids" I said WHAT? What kids? I lost my mind on her and she starts asking all the other girls in the office if anyone had seen our paperwork, no one would even acknowledge her and then some woman comes from the back and calls her into a side room while I'm talking to her. So I said my piece and walked out. Avoid this office at all costs. The Dr will only take the easy kids and the girls in the office are ignorant and childish. Please save yourself some annoyance and find another Dr. This Dr should be shut down, hes prejudice and I'm reporting him. read more

This like any doctors office has its issues, wait times, office staff cha gong but at the moment it does not matter where you go this happens. Reviews are always done when people are annoyed and angry. We have been going to Ocean Pediatrics for 2-1/2 years. Long wait times happen at all doctors office but Dr. G will spend more than 5 minutes with your child if they need it. He is over ally cautious and has a special place in his heart for special need kids. He will be patient and kind with them. As all places he wants his staff to do there jobs so he will change his office staff as needed. He sees lots of patients so understand that most offices have them. Check out his office if you want comprehensive care not just someplace to hand you an inhaler like the other parent review wanted. read more

Did not like this doctor at all. I trusted the reviews on Google and went in because my daughter was having some difficulty breathing from what I thought was from our cat. I tried to explain how it all began and he only listened to respond. He would interrupt me and speak over me ontop of not being able to understand a single word he said due to his heavy accent and how fast he spoke to us. I told him she usually starts sneezing when she gets our cat and that his is pretty recent. I told him I think it's pet dander triggering an allergic reaction because she said she felt like she was breathing through a straw and she was wheezing. I told him I think it could be asthma because her dad had it briefly when he was a child and it later cleared up. His response was " did he have asthma yes or no? Did he have asthma yes or no?" I said "just for a few months" and he said "there is not just 'having' asthma. Asthma can be many things and can happen from physical exercise so you can't just say 'she has asthma'". My gut told me all she needed was an inhaler to subside the allergic reaction and to just have it incase our cat triggered the reaction again. But after listening to her chest, he then insisted we purchase a nebulizer and prescription to which I agreed ONLY if it was covered 100% by insurance and he assured me it was. I ended up getting a $70.00 bill in the mail for this piece of equipment that we NEVER used. The staff apologized and told me to return it and they would call the billing company and take care of it. When I returned it they rejected it because it was already paid for from the insurance and said we own it now. We will never use this nor was it what we needed. Then he told us he needed blood work done and a chest xray and we could go to the ER because the lab was there. At this point, I'm now starting to get scared because of what he had apparently heard in her chest that would call for blood work (that I was still on the fence about). Because of the his visable fear and exaggerated concern toward my daughter and the urgency he pressed on us, she went into a panic on the way to the ER thinking there was really something really life threateningly wrong with her. She cried the whole way which caused her breathing to worsen and create more phlegm in her sinuses. When we got into the ER, they ended up just admitting her and giving her a breathing treatment and a chest xray because she was struggling so much (this escaped so quickly). Once the ER doctor assessed her for a few hours, he pulled me aside saying she threw herself into a panic attack that caused her difficult breathing to worsen. He found NOTHING in her chest causing the difficulty breathing and had numerous respiratory therapists in the hospital listen to her chest over a 4 hour period. He then called back the pediatrician and told him he did not feel my daughter needed any blood work. When he returned after the phone call, the ER doctor told me the pediatrician was adamant about getting blood work and shook his head in disagreement and left it up to me. At that point, I was completely through with the opinions of this pediatrician. From the moment we met him, the entire experience seemed like "charge the most you can" situation. What ended up being the problem was an minor allergic reaction to our cat (exactly what I thought from the beginning) that escalated to a panic attack because of the pediatricians reaction and demand for bloodwork and a chest xray that freaked my daughter out. The ER doctor gave us an emergency inhaler (just like I thought) just incase the allergy happened again, which it didn't. A $300 ER visit later, a $70 nebulizer bill and $50 chest xray bills, here we are....all hype for nothing that could have been fixed from an inhaler. Is it better to be save than sorry? Absolutely. But HOW you portray your concern as a professional, especially dealing with CHILDREN, has lasting impressions on people that they end up have post traumatic stress later on in life. Never have I ever gone through an experience like this with a pediatrician. I don't think anything was handled professionally. Miscommunications, extreme diagnosis, escalation to an emergency situation- it all could have been avoided and handled much better. I hope other parents have better experiences. We will never be back. read more

STAY AWAY!!! This place needs to get their act together. Out of the blue they send me a bill for services from over 2.5 years ago for over $100. This was paid by Florida Blue (which I called and confirmed) and yet they think they have the right to bill for the difference of their contracted rate (which they don't as per Florida Blue). The billing office has no idea what's going on at the doctor's office and same the other way. The two ladies I spoke with (1 at each office) were just flat out rude! Everyone makes mistakes however they can't own up to theirs, instead they just talk down to you like this is somehow your fault. Certainly won't be bringing my kids back here ever again. read more
