MIchaels Scott, M.D's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Michaels and staff are on on point. Dr. Michaels was engaging and interested in all aspects of my wellness. Also very forthcoming with good information. Five Stars!

I have been seeing Dr. Michaels for many years, he diagnosed my cancer and saved my life all while showing that mirth and bemusement I so appreciate. It is unfortunate that Tori did not have a good experience but I would not trust my health with any other healer ........

Never even come close to keeping appointment times. Systems crash...phone lines go down...prescriptions don't get filled due to crashes. The care is good but the rest of the process is torture.

I had a truly AWFUL experience at this practice and would not recommend them to anyone.

My family attends this facility for our medical and chiropractic needs. Dr. Michaels takes the time to listen to his patients and treats them accordingly. His schedule may get behind however, you can rest assure that when your appointment is over all of your questions and concerns have been addressed.

Would not recommend going here unless you already know the treatment you need. The PA Rachel was delightful in assisting me with getting a physical I needed for a school program in August of 2020.I went back in January 2021 expecting to see Rachel to order some blood work and instead I saw Dr. Michaels. This was my first meeting with him (I'm a 25 year old female, but I guess I could look younger). I am a vegan and wanted to get bloodwork to check my vitamin levels because I have been chronically fatigued after exercising despite being otherwise healthy. Upon first meeting the doctor he said, "Well why don't you eat a steak." Yes this is such an appropriate time for humor when I'm seeking medical advice and you are now disrespecting my way of life. I doubt he would make such a comment if I were not a young woman. I did not laugh and he informed me that he likes to joke around.Dr. Michaels disagreed with my ADHD diagnoses from another Doctor who specializes in ADHD. Dr. Michaels told me "ADHD is caused by people who cannot stay off their cell phones". He then proceeded to lecture me about I cannot possibly have ADHD because I got good grades until college (read the literature that is a common issue in ADHD for women! we're good at hiding it). He suggested I must not have taken enough workshops on how to study or take notes. He also told me, "Well you're sitting still right now" and I said "Yes because I took my medication today." He ignored that statement and had me take questionnaires for anxiety and depression. Again if you read the literature ADHD diagnoses in women are commonly missed because Doctors see it as anxiety and depression.He changed my medication to an antidepressant. He also made multiple other unhelpful suggestions like "watch a funny movie because you can't laugh and be sad at the same time" and "get a cat or a dog". I can barely feed myself on a regular interval I don't understand how a pet can help. ADHD is a condition of executive disfunction, meaning we are terrible at scheduling things and taking care of ourselves never mind pets. I left the office in tears. I felt stupid and lazy.I was quite open minded in assuming maybe my other doctor who prescribed the ADHD medication was incorrect. After all what do I know? I wish Dr. Michaels had the same level of humility. After two day of taking the antidepressants I had to switch back to my original medication. I was exhausted despite sleeping for 9 hours and taking multiple naps. I was also extremely irritable and borderline suicidal by the end of the second day.Antidepressants work on serotonin, adhd medication works on dopamine. I don't know what Dr. Michaels learned in Medical School which by the way he went to a Caribbean Medical school which are far less competitive than the schools in the United States. I now question the caliber of his education. But I took an undergraduate behavioral neuroscience course to try and understand my brain better. I learned people who lack dopamine have a hard time "letting things go" and will often be upset for far longer than a neurotypical person about seemingly innocuous events. Cue Alanis Morisette's Ironic. See look! I can be funny too. You cured my "depression"I thought about printing out journal articles and going back to the office and explaining to Dr. Michaels that I do in fact have ADHD. But I have a $110 copay and I'm not going to waste more money on some guy with insensitive advice who has been a doctor for as long as I've been able to vote.In Summary I did not feel heard or listened to at all. And I am worried about the fact that he changed a medication that affects brain chemistry and then the office never followed up with me when I failed to make a follow up appointment.And my blood work came back normal. In short, see a specialist unless you have a very routine medical issue that a clown could diagnose. Because all I got from this "medical office" were sad jokes.

Thorough and he keeps his appointment times. Keeping him as my primary for sure.

It saddens me to give 1 star. Dr. Michaels is wonderful however the office staff and nurses have failed me and now my health is suffering because of it. The nurse assured me a month ago she was faxing paperwork to another facility for testing and I was to wait for a call to schedule the appointment. I waited 2 weeks and called FM medical back and was forwarded to the nurse voice mail. I never received a call back so I called again. The receptionist looked in my file and told me there was no record of me needed any tests. Following that call, a nurse did call and assured me once again she was faxing the papers. Great! I really need this test to see what is wrong because I'm not getting better. Well, here we are, 2 weeks later and no better. No call from any facility to schedule my test. So I call FM medical back. The receptionist was able to tell me, yes they papers were faxed. When I asked what was the name of the facility the papers were faxed to so I could call them, I was told she had no idea. There was no facility listed. How am I to believe they ever got faxed? I have completely lost faith and my health is suffering because of this.

I took my boys in for physicals they needed fir school. They got me in right away and even though it was just for a physical the staff and Doctor were incredible. They were warm and friendly and just terrific. You guys are the best

God awful practice. Phones were down for over a month. My prescription was screwed up three months in a row. I can see why my doctor quit this scam of a practice. Since he quit they required I get another appointment just to get a prescription. Don’t waste your time here.
