    Main entrance does NOT face Narcoosee or Tavistock. Not problematic but when you're looking for door, now you know!

    5 stars all day long......Ladies & Gents, your attention please. If you are in South Orlando, then you have found your new medical practice. Located in Lake Nona at the corner of Tavistock & Narcoossee Road at Laureate Park. This is NOT a teaching facility but rather a practice in which the Doctors that are faculty at UCF school of Medicine; gotta see patients and teach if you don't want a teachers salary! I've yet to see a student even shadowing anyone. It's just an incredibly well run practice. In fact, I have never once had to wait for my appointments. The nurse actually came Into the exam room and apologized that Dr. Smith was running about 5 minutes behind and they were "very sorry about the wait". Wait? 5 minutes is a wait?? They should have seen my previous dr that was notoriously 2 hours behind schedule. So far my general practitioner & dermatologist are both part of this practice; hands down they are the best. Dr Christopher Smith is not only an MD but he also practices medical acupuncture! What??? It's so nice because he fully believes and uses western medical methods however he also will look at things from a holistic approach as well...particularly if that's your cup of tea. It's never easy to find a good (or great) practice where you've had positive experiences with all the docs. This is the place for me and if you're in this area, then I highly recommend you check it out.

    I've been going to UCF Health since they opened their original office on University Blvd in Orlando. The new office is even nicer than the original one. Amazing staff, amazing doctors, not the "normal" doctor experience. By far, the best doctors office in Orlando. I highly recommend it to everyone.

    If you are looking for the best eye doctor I have ever encountered look no further. Before I met…read moreDr. Mehul Patel I was very unsure about getting eye surgery. Once I met him I no longer felt like a number or a means to an end. I decided to move forward with the surgery and could have not been more reassured prior to the procedures or happier with the results after. The care he took was short of unheard of, down to the drop schedule he provided me. He is surely one of the best. I asked if I could be the president of his fan club but I'm sure there are others vying for the same spot. Thank you for your time, kindness and expertise. You are very special and I hope your students learn everything for you.

    The best ophthalmologist by far in Orlando. I have never experienced the type of service from any…read moreDr as I did with Dr. Mehul Patel. I had my cataracts surgery in both eyes and I will say it has been the best investment I have done overall. Going from 2.5 prescription for reading and also needing glasses to see far away, now I can see 20/20. Best experience ever, always receiving the best care from Dr. Patel. He personally called me to see how I was doing before and after the surgery of each eye. He was always willing to answer every question. When I went for surgery I was sure of what I wanted and what to expect. The results were outstanding and far better than I expected. The staff was awesome! A+++

    I have been seeing Dr. Michelle Hanley since September to get the correct prescription for both…read moreglasses and contact lenses, and unfortunately the experience has been very frustrating. Over the past several months, I have had to return multiple times because the prescriptions provided were not correct. Each time I was asked to come back to try new lenses to see if they worked better. I trusted the process and continued returning as requested by the office. During one of my visits, I was informed that the fee I had already paid for both the glasses and contact lens prescriptions had an expiration date. This was surprising and disappointing, especially since the repeated visits were due to the office not being able to determine the correct prescription in the first place. At my most recent visit, I was told that the new lenses I needed to try would no longer be covered because too much time had passed since the initial appointment and payment. This does not seem fair, considering the delay was caused by the inability to get my prescription right, not by anything on my part. To make matters more confusing, I am now being referred to a specialist. After months of appointments and additional inconvenience, I feel that the situation has been poorly handled and that patients should not be penalized for extended timelines when the issue originates with the prescription process itself. I hope the office reviews how situations like this are managed so future patients do not experience the same frustration.

My mom liked Sand Lake Hospital (now Dr. P. Phillips Hospital) and Dr. Mantecon was associated with them. I soon found out that he is Chief of Cardiology at the hospital as well at the medical director of Cardiovascular services too. Dr. Mantecon gave the best service he could to my mom at the time and now treats me. I totally love his bed side manner and the reassuring feeling he gives me. I feel he is one of the best doctors in the Orlando area. His staff is friendly and always willing to help. My mom passed away in 2006 from her heart condition but Dr. Mantecon and the staff at Orlando Heart Center did everything they could to control and extend her life in the best way they could. I now see them for my own personal heart needs and could not ask for a better group of people to help me. I have also seen Dr. Jose Lefran when Dr. Mantecon is not available and found his services also great. I highly recommend the Orlando Heart Center's Sand Lake office.

    Wow. I am totally floored by the service and care I received at my visit today…read more I had a scary experience that sent me to the ER earlier this week and was told to follow up with the cardiologists. I work at Dr. Phillips hospital so knew the office was here and made an appointment. I was given an appointment within two days off my ER visit which I couldn't believe. I thought it would take at least two weeks to be seen. When I arrived I was seen promptly and barely waited to be seen by Dr. Akram. He was very professional, understanding, and made me feel comfortable. He wanted me to get some tests done and the schedulers were able to fit me in quickly and easily around my hectic work schedule. I cannot recommended this place enough and actually look forward to my next visit in two weeks!
