Who was Excellent? Dr. Escobar was a tremendous help. Very patient and attentive
First time at the Davie location- Julie was the nurse I saw who was fantastic-personable & professional. Waited a short time to see Dr Zelch, also, great, diagnosed my problem and sent me on my way. Unfortunately, that was Dr Zelch’s last day at that facility :(
Good
Excellent bedside manner and very informative.

I always have a good experience with Dr Fernandez.
I requested an inhaler (albuterol) and got instead a medication similar to advair but more expensive.
Dr. Fernandez is one of a kind. She has been a partner in my health care for years. She listens, cajoles, supports, and sometimes uses tough love when she cares about my health more than I do. She never talks at me, but we have conversations about my health where my opinion matters. I trust her with my life.
