Tampa Obstetrics

I was referred here by my insurance and I didn’t even make it to my appointment before realizing this was not acceptable and canceling. The first time I called I was put on hold for 15 minutes and then hung up on before speaking with anyone. Thinking it was a fluke, I called again, sat on hold again and managed to make an appointment. A week or so later I called back to ask about having my medical records transferred from my previous doctor. I was immediately put on hold and after 30 minutes, hung up on again without speaking to someone. I called back and sat on hold for another 30 minutes. Not having anymore time to wait, I hung up. I called and managed to speak with someone later in the afternoon but not before I was put on hold again even though I asked not to be. Needless to say I cancelled the appointment. If I am treated that badly before I even get there I can’t imagine how awful it would be to go in.

If there were less than one star, I would have posted it.
The free standing fans in the waiting rooms cannot cover the smell of mildew and overpopulation. There was standing room only at EVERY one of the three appointments I had, unless you had a group where you felt ok to sit on each others laps (no joke)! When every appointment lasts three or more hours, there is a lot of time to absorb your surroundings.
«Ghetto pregnant teen», and «public aide» are the theme.
I can’t rate the doctors, because I don’t think they go there. It is nurses and assistants only. I went in with a cold and left with a pap-​smear from a girl in training! And don’t get me started on the staff!!!
I kept trying to convince myself that it was pregnancy that had me sobbing every time I went… IT WAS NOT.
Changed my OBG. Changed my outlook.
Was that clear?

Oh my goodness… please ladies… stay FAR FAR away from this place and find yourself somewhere else to go. It is the dirtiest and outdated doctors office/​clinic I have ever been in. The women are called by a staff member holding a urine cup in front of the door where everyone else in the waiting room can see and ask you to go to the bathroom. After that, you are expected to walk your own sample out into their «lab» where other patients sit getting their vital signs taken. They tell you to step on the scale «over there», they don’t even walk you over to make sure your weight is correct, and expect you to walk back and tell THEM how much you weigh. There are HIPPA violations everywhere in this place. At least 3 – 4 patients in the lab at the same time as if we were cattle. ZERO privacy. Looking around, it is FILTHY!
From the moment I walked in, the patient waiting room is gross, the bathroom is gross and the lab had broken fixtures, it was dirty and outdated. With all of these physicians here, you’d think they could chip in and do some much needed renovations and hire a cleaning crew. One of their patients was called back and a piece of the chair came falling apart! The longer I sat there and waited, the more I became afraid of even going into the actual exam room. I knew right then and there that I did not want to be in this filth any longer, so I got up and asked for my records and walked out. Now as far as the front and MA’s go, they were friendly. I can’t say anything about the physicians on staff because I did not get a chance to meet any of them. As a medical professional myself, I am appalled about this place and am VERY surprised it has not been closed by the health department yet. OSHA needs to give them a visit. They would have a field day! I should have taken everyone else’s advice that wrote a review and gave this place a ONE star… ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Had a 3 pm appt. Been waiting almost 3 hours now for TEST RESULTS. The qaiting room is full of sloppy and scary people you would see at the dmv and their unruly children. Office staff is rude.
I won’t be back.

This place is great if getting an appointment and being seen timely is not important to you. Also if your medical privacy is not important to you then you will love this place! Follow up by physicians assistants, nurses and staff is non existent! They treat their patients like cattle, double and triple book appointments, keep you on hold forever. That is at the Brandon office and the MLK office. My advice: Stay as far away from this medical trap as possible! Both offices that I have been to are filthy nasty. Women who answer the phone are rude and not helpful at all.
