David Hobbs's Online Review Report Card

This office requires a $1,800/year subscription (for "better customer service") to set a appointment, on top of what I pay United Health Care and the would be office visit bill (even though a preferred MD through United HC). This is a ridiculous required upsell and United HC should remove them from their preferred list. Not to mention when asking questions for clarification of this subscription fee to get services I was hung up on 2 times after calling back...

Dr. Hobbs and his staff make visits very pleasureable.Great personalities and also very pretty and knowledgeable. Examinations and recommendations are thorough. The doctor and his assistant , Michelle take time to listen and show sincere concern. Their many years of experience give me great confidence in their service.

I have been a patient less than a year. My new annual fee has increased. When I joined there was mention of a 5 year price guarantee. It was not explained to me that the 5 year price guarantee was for the practice and not the patient. The practice has been affiliated with MDVIP for at least 5 years and they have decided to raise their MDVIP fees. I am surprised by this move without giving patients advance notice of the price change and not when your annual contract is due. A 90 day notice would have been nice. This would allow members ample time to seek an alternative care facility. The service I have received is outstanding, especially the office staff of K and M, they are the best. Arnie

Dr. Hobbs has been my physician for more than 25 years. During that time, he has saved my life by diagnosing a critical problem missed by cardiologists and has always been exceptionally attentive to my needs. I really can't say enough good things about him.

I feel so comfortable having Dr. Hobbs managing my health care. Thanks.

Dr. Hobbs is a very smart, compassionate, attentive, proactive and overall wonderful primary care physician. I am very pleased that he is my PCP.

I was once a national - class middle distance runner who was still running regularly when Dr. Hobbs realized that I had a serious problem. The cardiologists failed to diagnose my blocked arteries. Dr. Hobbs demanded that they perform tests they had not considered necessary. He was right, they were wrong and I had emergency triple bypass surgery the next day. The cardiac surgeon said I was lucky to still have been alive. That was 21 years ago. Dr. Hobbs is still my primary doctor and continues to provide thorough, friendly care. (I did change cardiologists, though.)

Dr Hobbs and his team are really awesome. We just moved to St Pete and discovered this fine physician through the MDVIP concierge system. The Doctor is professional, patient and caring. We are so lucky!

Dr. Hobbs is an excellent Family Practice physician. He keeps up with the latest medical procedures.

Dr. Hobbs needs to retire ! He is one of the nicest people you would want to meet. As a doctor he does not take control of the patient's problem. He likes to have you help him make decisions, send you to specialists or the emergency room as his primary tactic for anything other than a basic office visit and exam. The MDVIP (concierge medicine) practice he has in my opinion is the biggest ripoff in medical history. There are approximately 800 MDVIP doctors in the country. The fee to the dance is $ 1,500.00 and up around the country. He does answer his cell phone, he does call in prescriptions if they are basic such as antibiotics and he will also tell you to go to the emergency room in most cases "if the condition" worsens. The concerns I had did not get corrected over a few years, so I moved on. My new doctor was all over my health issues the 1st visit I saw him and he got my medical issues under control immedidiately by taking control of the situation and telling me how it was going to be treated, not having discussion after discussion asking for my input. I am not the MD, he is. He relies on his computer programs when you meet with him, with his face in the monitor screen and not looking at you. This really makes one feel special and confident. Not to mention they include "a free" yearly medical examination and blood work included for the $ 1,500.00. My new doctor's lab's are a lot more comprehensive, and, he his prescriptions are prescribed for more than 30 days at a time for basic medicines. That is also the "I gotcha" to feel as though you are getting something for your extra money in my opinion. His staff is nothing spectacular and the least professional I have ever seen. The office is a shambles, and one would question if it is a shrine to himself with portraits of himself in a glass cabinet in the waiting room? This is information for you to use as you wish and is solely my own opinion. Good luck
