Traveria Alejandro MD

I’m going to begin this review by saying I’ve never actually been treated by Doctor Traveria, however, I’ve been with my wife for every one of her visits (she first saw him in 2007). He is probably one of the best doctors in Jacksonville. Why, you ask? For starters he’s incredibly nice and has a wonderful bedside manner. Since visit one way back in 2007, he’s always greeted us with a smile, a handshake, and the question, «how are you today?» I know that may not sound like a big deal, but it is in my opinion. I know doctors are busy people and constantly on the move, but it only takes a couple of seconds to shake someone’s hand and greet them, before diving into diagnosing whatever problem there may be.
Another reason Doctor Traveria is so great is he’s very through, as a doctor should be. If he thinks there’s a test that needs to be run, you better believe he’s gonna schedule it!
His medical assistant Scott, is another big reason to visit doctor Traveria. He’s very friendly, knows his job and does it well.
So, if you’re in need of a new doctor or want to change doctors, I suggest you give doctor Traveria’s office a call!

I thought I’d give another update for Dr. T to let y’all know he continues to be the best doctor on the planet. In my eyes, he can do no wrong. He’s been taking very good care of me for quite a number of years now.
As I said before, you do not get a bedside manner better than Dr. T. He gets excellent reviews on all the physician and medical sites on the web, and well he should! The only thing i have seen people complain about is that sometimes, you may wait an hour to see him because he is running behind. I never complain and I don’t care because when he comes in the room with me, I am all that matters to him. If he needs to sit in the room with me for 30 – 40 minutes, then he will do it. This is the reason he runs behind. He takes the time to listen to every question you have and he cares about your questions. He then takes the time to answer each and every question you ask and he makes sure you understand everything. Personally, I’d rather have a doctor who runs behind sometimes because he takes the time with his patient, rather than have a doctor who always runs behind and still only spends 5 minutes or less with you. Dr. T rarely has time to take a lunch and I hate to even think how late he leaves the office each evening. I actually just scolded him today and told him he was working himself into an early grave by doing that — he agreed! LOL But he cares about his patients, so he’s going to continue putting in those kind of hours. It’s also nice to have my doctor walk in and actually KNOW who I am! The man has jokes too, he quite often makes me laugh with some of his witty remarks! :D
Scott is Dr. T’s medical assistant and he is SO amazing! He is so kind and he’ll get to know you also. You won’t be just another number to him either. Best medical assistant Dr. T has ever had and the best darn medical assistant I’ve seen anywhere!
Denise is the phlebotomist in this office. Yep, Dr. T has his own lab in the office. Makes things MUCH easier when he needs to check blood and urine! She’s really good at what she does. I’m a really hard stick and she gets me the first time, every time, and it never hurts. Like everyone else, she knows me well too and even remembers exactly where my «good» veins are. She’s been there as long as I’ve been seeing Dr. T since 2007.
I can’t think of the name of Dr. T’s triage nurse to save my life right now, probably b/​c I’ve only seen her maybe twice and have only had to talk to her on the phone a few times over the years. But, she too is wonderful. She’s great at accessing whatever your problem is and gives wonderful advice!
I’d also like to mention Susan, who works at the front desk at check-​in and Fay, who you’ll see before you leave the office to schedule your next appointment and who will call to confirm your appointments. They are both sweethearts and they both have been there for as long as I’ve been seeing Dr. T. I think it really says something that so many staff members have been with him for so long!
There are a lot of other people who work in this practice that I really don’t have much contact with, like some of the women who answer the phones. But I’ve always had a great experience with every staff member in this office. Zero complaints.
I have to leave messages for Dr. T often because he keeps a close watch on my blood sugar readings. He always gets back with me asap!
Before the remodel, the office was really nice, but now it is quite lovely. The waiting area is large, well decorated, and has really comfy chairs and couches. Everything is extremely clean!
You’ll also find free wifi here. Dr. T’s office is in the Baptist Hospital Pavilion, so you’ll be able to tap into the free wifi offered by the hospital. Bonus!
I want to touch on the waiting thing again. Like I said, there have been times I’ve waited an hour or more to see Dr. T, but this generally only happens when I call in at 8am with an emergency and have to be worked into the already full schedule. It has happened several times with scheduled appointment, but not very often. The average wait time is approximately 30 minutes. But, there have even been times when I’m being called back before I can barely have time to take a seat in the waiting area.
Dr. T is an internal medicine specialist, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be your general practitioner. In my humble opinion, it’s always best to have an internist as your general practitioner anyway.
To close, I’d just like to say again that Dr. T is wonderful and I promise you WILL NOT find a better doctor anywhere else!
