I only need to see the doctor once a year…read morefor my regular check up but every time I have gone, I have been happy with the visit and efficiency of the office. My husband also sees Dr. Douglas (we almost never go together due to work schedules) and my husband has similar experiences. The staff here is great and the office runs efficiently. Dr. Douglas runs on time. I've never had a wait. My husband is typically a difficult stick. The phlebotomist here is awesome and always gets him on the first time. Dr. Douglas is kind and takes a real interest in you, not just as a patient but as a person. Dr. Douglas is a huge dog lover and has photos of his dogs in the exam rooms. It's a nice touch so that the office feels less sterile and more welcoming. It's also nice to get a glimpse into his hobbies/ outside interests. That way you see him not just as your doctor but as a human. Overall I highly recommend Dr. Douglas. He is a wonderful PCP. You want someone who takes the time to listen and gets to know you as a person. The location is convenient for me but even if I lived a little further away, I'd drive the extra distance for a good doctor.

One of the things I most appreciate about Dr. Douglas is how prompt he is, so if an appointment is at 2:30pm as an example, you can betcha that a few minutes later, Dr. Douglas will stroll into the consulting room. I also like that he is through, keeps up to date with the latest medical research and offers genuine, logical solutions that work best for your individual circumstances rather than whatever the latest fad is. I would absolutely recommend Dr Douglas if you are looking for a personal physician in the area. Note: #199 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

I also needed to establish a physician for my lower back L4, L5 and S1 pain medications I am on for over 20 years. Nurse practitioner came, took list of my meds mail order. She ordered my meds. Upon receiving the meds I noticed, she didn't order one of my meds for 90 days BUT for 30 days with no refills. I called pharmacy. Pharmacy replied, doctor ordered for 30 days with no refill. I called doctor's office. The doctor says he will not write 90 days or 30 days refill until he checks my physical. The clinic is stuck up, making totally irrelevant excuses to write meds refill or for 90 days. In order to further establish state of my physical, doctor went ahead with my blood test. I also requested to check if I am allergic to any unknown allergy. Besides, The unqualified staff who don't know how to read blood pressure. The pressure was so high, the nurse practitioner refused to order my medication I am using for almost 20 years. Well anyway, I went back to get blood drawn for testing purpose making sure there is nothing wrong anymore apart from some unknown allergic reaction I had earlier. The 2nd nurse came in to draw my blood. She can't even find my vein. Huh.... She send 3rd nurse to draw the blood. She gets it without making "ANY EXTRA DIGGING" efforts. Two days after, doctor on duty on Sunday calls asking "IF I AM DOING OK?" I was surprised. I went curious asking why what you find? Doctor says, my "SUGAR IS SO LOW" he wanted to make sure I am ok. I said something is wrong with your test. My sugar isn't as low as might think. I am absolutely active, working, going to gym. He said, there should be something wrong in test. He asked if anything went wrong while they drawing the blood? I said, the nurse named Deborah could find my vein. So she went ahead ask 3rd nurse to draw the blood. That's all. He orders 2nd blood drawn. I went today for another blood draw. 4th nurse came to draw the blood. He instigated if I get bruises a lot. I said, yes depending on how much you dig in my body. He takes my blood, then leaves all near by me, goes out to check if I have follow up appointment for test result discussions. I requested again, to write refill plus 90 days supply for my pain medicines. The receptionist said, she will send in message forward. They will call. Nurse named Deborah called, started crying for the same. They will not order another refill or 90 days supply. I said, you are not making any sense. She Says, my blood pressure was too high. It seemed like the doctors office practicing unethical behavior to cash on new patience. Moreover I am above 60 so I am a target of their atrocious pattern of behavior.

I've been to this doctor twice, once several years ago for a "Meet and Greet" visit, since you can…read morenot do your physical as your first visit and just last week due to a recovering foot injury. I am the first to admit that I do not enjoy going to the doctor, so I tried to see past some red flags. At this point though, despite Dr. Hitchcock seeming like a competent doctor I don't feel like I can deal with her practice long term. Making an Appointment- When I went to make my recent appointment, I utilized ZocDoc, an online service that Dr. Hitchcock's office utilizes. It makes no mention that this service should only be utilized by new patients. In fact, I selected that I was a returning patient during the registration process and the system allowed me to make an appointment. Since using an online system was new to me, I ended up calling to see if there was any updated paperwork that I needed to submit. During this call Sharon/Shari, the receptionist was incredibly rude. First, she chided me for using the online system as it was for new patients only. Again, there was no mention of this online so I felt it was extremely uncalled for for her to fault me for having made this appointment. She kept going on about it and eventually I just asked her to make me an appointment for the same time and date, which she did. I'm not sure what difference it made on her end, but for some reason it did. Something I knew from my prior visit was that with Dr. Hitchcock's office your first visit is considered a consultation/meet and greet. She'll address any issues but you will have to pay a copay, etc. as normal. If you have a free physical through your insurance, you can not do that for your first visit. It is an office policy that I feel is somewhat of a "nickel and dime" strategy. I asked Sharon to explain what the difference was between the physical and the consult appointment and she got really flustered and then just transferred me and said she couldn't help me anymore. Again, incredibly odd and uncalled for. Tiffany, the girl I spoke to next was a lot nicer and also provided a great explanation on the difference between appointments. Visit/Waiting Room- Dr. Hitchcock's office is on the second floor of the Phoenica Center, behind Barnes and Noble/Bonefish on Sandlake. The waiting room is very nice and comfortable, which is good because you will probably spend a lot of time in there. I waited about 45 minutes past my scheduled appointment. Visit/Appointment- The actual time I spent with Dr. Hitchcock was fine, although brief. An assistant took some basic information about why I was there before Dr. Hitchcock came in and then we ran through the things I wanted to discuss. I feel she was knowledgeable and gave me options for my concerns and the information I needed. Followup- This is an area that is a bit frustrating for me. I received a couple prescriptions as well as instructions for having blood work and an x-ray done. After completing the x-ray, I wanted to followup about if it had been received and reviewed. I also had a question regarding a prescription, so I called and emailed the medical assistant per the website. Unfortunately the response I got was to come in for another appointment. To me, that is unacceptable. While I'd be completely willing to come in if there was follow up needed off of the results or a new condition/complication that had arisen, it seems silly to me to spend my time and money on another appointment to ask a question about a prescription that was just prescribed to me. Again, I felt that the "nickel and dime" strategy was coming into play. All in all, while Dr. Hitchcock seems like a well-informed doctor, dealing with office policies and attitudes may be a little too much for me to handle long term.

I came in as a healthy, young male for a pre-employment physical. Working in healthcare, I get physicals at least annually, among other tests and screens. She could have easily performed a cursory physical exam, asked me whether I could physically work, and signed my form. Instead, Dr. Velez provided a complete physical exam, obtained a full medical and surgical history, and screened me for a few health conditions based on my intake forms and family history. Needless to say, I was impressed with her approach this visit. Not only does she provide comprehensive care, she also knows how to build rapport. She entered the room with a friendly smile, used little medical jargon, which improves communication for many, and was very approachable. If I were to stay in Orlando, she would be my primary care physician! Velez Family Health is located in Dr. Phillips in an office building. It's not visible from the parking lot, but if you walk down the hall of the north building, you'll find this clinic on the first floor past the restrooms. The place is clean, and the front desk staff is affable. Want a doc who truly cares about your health? Come here!

When they found out that I self-pay for my medication, the office manager took the time to find discount coupons for me online, saving me over $60 at the pharmacy today. I couldn't be more thankful and grateful to have found such a knowledgeable and caring staff that truly goes above and beyond for their patients in both treatment and customer service. My family and I are looking forward to many years with Dr. Velez.
