Please avoid Dr. Nathan Pekar if you have any interest in living a quality life. He has been among…read morethe worst doctor's that I have ever had the misfortune to have dealt with for the following reasons: - Rushes the appointment - General disinterest - Does NOT fill your prescriptions In my initial appointment with him, he attempt to make an effort at listening to me however the entire appointment felt extremely rushed and he made nearly every attempt to end it within 10-15 minutes. Following this, it was nearly impossible to get a prescription filled by him to the point that in the last two months, my prescriptions were filled by other doctor's (despite significant efforts including calls, online messages in the portal, and online messages on the Victory Medical Klarna messenger ranging from 10 days up to day of). The staff was also deeply unhelpful, letting me know that in order to get my prescription refilled, I should use the online portal, but if I sent in my prescription request earlier than 5 business days, then it would be ignored. If I sent in later than 5 business days, it was also likely to be ignored. And when I did send it in 5 business days, it was still ignored. I have left several online messages, following up each day, in an attempt to just get a response, and in the past few months I have received none. And god forbid you have multiple prescriptions, because Dr. Pekar will maybe fill one prescription and completely ignore the others. They also look to charge your insurance as much as possible. By state law, practices can but are not required to drug test you for controlled prescriptions. Most doctors range somewhere between once to twice a year. Dr. Pekar will force you into doing a drug test EVERY month. So, not only is he an uncaring and lazy doctor, he also wants to take as much money from you and your insurance by pushing needless tests on you as often as possible. In sum, please do NOT see Dr. Pekar if you want quality care.

Have been in Austin for 2 years and have tried several primary care doctors. Was dreading having to…read morego to another but knew I needed to find somewhere. From the minute I stepped foot the entire staff was welcoming and friendly, made the entire experience fantastic. Dr. Pekar himself makes you feel like you've known him forever and has fantastic medical advice and really listens to your concerns. The facility is lovely, clean, and has loads of parking (something I always worry about) and there is a pharmacy for convenience right downstairs in case you need the prescription directly following your appointment! Highly recommend!

In 2024 I called my doctor and they tried to sell me an Amazon Prime account…read more.. Like a lot of recent reviews this place used to be great and the doctors are still awesome. I've been seeing Dr. Babcock for years and he is really an excellent doctor and I hate having to switch from him. However, SAMC recently switched to One Medical (Amazon), meaning you have to pay a $200 subscription to even be able to read messages from the doctor, book an appointment, view/ refill prescriptions, etc. You can get a 'free' version if you're ok with being on hold for half a day but all that gets you is the ability to login and view messages when you owe them money... not doctors messages. They no longer have a direct number to call even though there's usually 2/3 people working at the desk every time I've been in there. This is truly saddening as again, Dr. Babcock has been a great doctor for me but this model is truly terrible. As bad as health care is in the US I can't believe we're straying even further in the wrong direction with subscription based health care! When I told a rep I did not want to pay for the app she tried to sell me an Amazon Prime account because there's a discount...

Well-run office with diligent attention to detail--COVID-19 care has been well-run, with due concern for everyone's safety. Never had a problem with parking; office is well set up. Exam rooms are clean and well-equipped. Blood can be drawn on-site. I rarely, if ever, have had to wait long before my appointment time; I'm surprised, as medical problems don't necessarily fit into nice reliable blocks of time. Getting through to talk to reception can be a challenge at peak times--but I suppose that is true with any office.

Dr. Calderon is no longer here, so here we go... Consistent with Newton's third law, the front desk is the equal but opposite reaction to that. "Terribad" is a made up word that almost captures what you can expect. Bungled billing? Check. Payment systems that sometimes work? Check. Inconsistent about acceptable payment methods? You'll get that, too. Need something faxed or transferred? Good luck with that. If "nothing" happens, count yourself lucky as there's a good chance that the wrong thing will be sent over. If you want to rub elbows with the clowns and carnies at the 'Circus of the Absurd' en route to seeing your doctor, this is the place for you. If you expect a minimal level of consistency and competence, well... Obligatory one star for existing. It's definitely a thing that's there.

Incredible doc...Excellent!!…read more Having worked as a Senior Physician Recruiter for many years, my requirements for a physician come from a trained background of what to look for and what to be wary of. I know how to check a background, I know what a thorough exam and appointment is, and I know what rushing a patient through in order to see more patients a day for money means to the patient. Additionally, I can recognize better equipment and practices. I had a great doctor in Dallas (Dr. Bonnet) and I could not find a satisfactory one after moving to Austin that met my scrupulous checks & desire for excellence. At other offices I was rushed through appointments, kept waiting endlessly due to overbooking, or not questioned well during the appointment or answered thoroughly...or not called back when I had a question or needed something or had to get a refill, etc... Dr. Browining is unique & wonderful!! And I thank the above posters who allowed me to finally find him! You are not only never kept waiting for much time at all, he is amazingly smart in discussions, he is so thorough in questions and answers that you feel you are his only patient... He has state-of-the-art equipment. He is caring, thorough, and beyond impressive. I've already recommended him and immediately gotten the response back that he was an incredible doctor who spends a great deal of time to ensure you are cared for. He will not schedule unecessary procedures or cram patients in as so many doctors do when a monetary business becomes a goal over care...yet, like today when I needed an ultrasound, (which is what made me think to write this), he ensures I immediately get the care needed. Care is evident in this office...but that means very little if the physician isn't a brilliant doctor...and I've been beyond impressed in that regard as well. He obviously is one of those doctors with a passion for what he does and for what's current in medical journals. I joined Yelp for one reason alone...I thought I'd be remiss in not giving credit where credit is due. I looked for 3 years for a doctor I liked in Austin. I used to have to drive to Dallas to go to my old doctor because no one else's practice ever measured up. I am, therefore, beyond happy to recommend him to anyone needing an excellent physician in Austin. You'll see a difference in what is the norm and what happens here during your very first vist, without a doubt. -Alana

He immediately addressed the issue in his office rather than referring me to a dermatologist to do the dirty work. I truly did need immediate attention and he gave it to me. I can't speak highly enough of him and his assistant for bravely going where no one should have to go. I hope this does not sound like an exaggeration, but I feel like I owe my life to him. It has only been a day, and I'm still a mess, but I have to express my gratitude to this incredible doctor. I also want to publicly apologize for cursing as he cut into it. I hope your medical emergency gets taken care of by Dr. Browning, or someone as talented and compassionate as he is.

They did not make me fill out 10 pages of forms online before I came in. Then Dr Connor has someone take notes while she listens intently and looks you in the eye so that she can have a conversation and pay attention. She really knows her stuff and is not averse to questioning minds such as mine or alternative treatments and supplements. She made a recommendation for a lab test that my cardiologist should order for my high cholesterol. I already felt better walking out of her office after over an hour of actually being heard for the first time. She is worth every penny and I will be seeing her exclusively from now on.

I've been seeing Cheryl and Dr. Marchand for YEARS. Almost twenty years or more. I love Marchand…read moreand Cheryl for several reasons: the genuine interest they take in my well being, the time they take to listen and talk through things with me. They will always get 5 stars from me. The reason for the three stars and honestly, I'd really only give them one star if it didn't affect the doctors reputation, is the utter rudeness I constantly experience with the front desk and the checkout process. Every time I call it's like I'm a complete nuisance bothering them. They are RARELY friendly and NEVER go out of their way to be helpful (unlike the physicians). I've let Cheryl know about this in the past but unfortunately, it continues to get worse every year. I actually dread calling or going. Very disappointing. I realize there are patients who can be a pain in the ass sometimes and how that job dealing with that can be frustrating. But don't take it out of the loyal, average patients who are coming to you for help.
