First physicians Group has several doctors working in the practice providing general medical care…read moreand consultations. It's located next to Sarasota memorial hospital. There is a parking garage and also valet parking if you prefer. My appointment with Dr. Shah almost always runs on time. I rate Dr. shah as an excellent doctor. He doesn't rush me and takes the time to do a thorough consultation. The only reason I am not giving five stars is because of how difficult it is to get through to this office on the phones. It can sometimes take over an hour of waiting. They do offer a call back service but if you miss that then you have to start all over again. Given how busy they are and how many doctors they have, they should really employ more people for the phones. It's often quicker to drive there and speak to the front desk than it is to call in.

Wait time on phone is terrible. If you need help better drive to office, will be quicker.read more

Dr Sherri Sanders is the most wonderful doctor I have ever been to. She takes time with you to…read morelisten and is never rushed. She is no longer practicing at First Physicians Group. My husband and I would love to know if she is still practicing in the area. FPG didn't handle her departure with her patients very well. No one knows anything and/or they won't say. If anyone has any information as to where Dr Sanders is practicing I would greatly appreciate the information. Her replacement is definitely not up to par (or HER standards).

Visit this doctor at your own risk. I went in with a swollen elbow and he sent me home with…read moreantibiotics. No blood test, no x-rays, no soft tissue imaging. Oh, he did draw fluid off my elbow to send into the labs. Later his office called and informed me there was "no infectious bacteria". However, when my new doctor called (Dr. Ferrari has been fired), his office was unable to produce the reports because the sample was never sent in!! Can we say "fraud"? Not to mention he cortorized the wrong area on my elbow (how does one miss a noticeable wound?) nor did he administer the numbing agent prior to the procedure. What an incompetent fool. Both my brother and I both have fired him (for separate reasons) due to having no clue or outright negligence, misdiagnoses or failure to make any diagnosis at all and just stabbing in the dark. No clue and no plan. Use him at your own risk. Mark S.

He is a Concierge Doctor and a little more expensive but in my opinion worth every penny. I am guaranteed same day or next day appointments, I have his personal cell phone and encouraged to use it when needed. But most of all his professionalism, knowledge, his sincere concern about my health is what stands out most. I would highly recommend Dr. Sean Downing.

I believe that Dr. Myrdalis Diaz Ramirez is one of America's best pain managent doctors. My chronic…read morepain started somwhere between the age of 9 or 10. Now I am almost 69 and I suffered all these years with very few exceptions. Doctors just did not want to deal with pain. I began to self-medicate with Exedrine. For more than 20 years I took 3 Exedrine three time per day. I feared I might go into liver or renal failure. What happened instead is that I did severe gastrointestinal damage to myself through the chronic high doses of Exedrine. I have not totally recovered from that. I saw a few other pain management doctors but thwy did nothing worthwhile. Dr. Diaz Ramirez got me relief from pain so that I could function in every area of my life. To me that is the "holy grail" of pain management. My goal was never to be 100% free of pain 100% of each day. My goal was to be able to work, play, go to church, play guitar and do whatever. After 58 years of pain, Dr. Diaz Ramirez found the right medication for me. My body would not accept various medications because of horrible side effects but she stayed with it and found the right medication for me. For that my gratitude and love for her is over the top. She is patient, kind and often would give me more time than most other doctors. This is my experience. I hope it helps you. Dr. Myrdalis, I hope you read this and discover the depth of my gratitude and heart for what you have done for me.
