BayCare Medical Group Primary Care

I find all my Baycare doctors to be top notch. Dr Svetlana Enman has been my PC for a number of years and hopefully for all my remaining years (I'm 82). All my medical information is available on screen to all my Baycare doctors - this gives me 100% confidence that Baycare doctors are aware of my total health conditions and can communicate easily between themselves, and make the best assessments regarding my health. I love Baycare doctors - all of them

My primary care doctor wanted to talk with a hematologist (a doctor that specializes in blood). I found the BayCare Medical Group Hematology and Oncology Specialist. The physicians are board certified in medical oncology and hematology. They are located in the Axelrod Pavilion on the campus of Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater. Setting up the appointment was very easy and everyone that I spoke with was really nice. I had a Telehealth call with Dr. Gadiyaram. My primary care doctor had sent over all of my paperwork so the doctor could have a chance to review it before our call. The call started right on time and Dr. Gadiyaram was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. I know that most people would never need to see a hematologist or even know what one is but when you need one...you need one! I can definitely recommend Dr. Gadiyaram and her BayCare Group.

I went to Bartow emergency and was transferred to Lakeland. in the two hours I spent at Bartow I received more information than the two weeks I was in & out of Lakeland regional. Bartow is one of the best they truly care if you ever been to Lakeland regional you can tell the difference immediately, they don’t seem to care it’s just a job and don’t explain anything. I only wish Bartow was bigger to do more procedures so I can avoid Lakeland altogether. Keep up the fantastic work everyone at Bartow Are friendly caring and great

St. Joe’s has always had a special place in my heart for their care of my son was he was hospitalized there for 5 days when he 3 yrs old (ultimately diagnosed w/ Celiac Disease), but I wanted to say how incredibly pleased I am with the technician who did my sons Upper GI today. She was amazing. She knew instantly that he may not be able to keep the barium down and she talked and talked to him as she took the images and somehow she managed to get this test done successfully without him vomiting. She was awesome and I’m so thankful we were able to get through this test.

My husband and I have both been patients of Dr Whiting and Pinellas Street Primary Care ( Baycare) for years . This is a well run, professional office with a caring staff and great doctors. Because they reside in the large Baycare complex , if you need a scan or bloodwork done, you most likely can do it all in the same place- I recently had to do an ultrasound and bloodwork, I went right from my appointment with my PCP, downstairs for the ultrasound , and across the street for the bloodwork-- from the appointment to the finish I was done in around two hours for everything-important if you are still a working class dog like me. The reults were sent immediately back to the office and my doctor could coordinate care asap.

Best years of my work life 2007-2015 there.Learned so much-good mentors and then good hearted friends.

I love Baycare! I love everyone at Mease Countryside!

Had an appointment at 8:40am today. I did arrive at 8:52am, I apologize and I accept accountability for being late. This however resulted in my appointment being rescheduled for next week. They apologized for the mix up so I'm not sure if it was a mix of me being late and them having an office schedule mix up but they could not fit me in today. I will be back next week, will update if I have the same or better experience. They seem nice, I just don't think they viewed me as a patient this time around and more like a number. Again, I'll give it one more try next week.

My overall experience with Baycare has been ok, however I wanted to comment on a Cardiologist appointment I had recently with Dr. Geraldo Ramos. My appointment was scheduled well in advance for 11/07/24 @ 11:00 a.m.. After arriving 15 mins prior to my appointment, I was taken back to the exam room. 11:00 a.m. came and went. I sat there for 40 minutes and no physician or other staff checked on me, or to say things were running behind. I got up, went to the door, and a nurse practitioner was walking by, she asked "do you need anything?", I said I am here to see the physician, but I think they forgot me. She walked past me and went into another exam room without saying anything else, The MA overheard the conversations, came over and said, oh, you are next. I waited another 20 minutes, and told the person behind the check out desk that I was leaving as I had already spent an hour here, and I had other appointments. This experience was unprofessional, and not pleasant. I did not feel valued as a patient, and although Dr Ramos may of had a reason for missing my appointment, there is no excuse for leaving a patient alone in an exam room for an hour with no updates. I asked for him to acknowledge the missed appointment and it went unanswered. I guess his ego will not allow him to admit how lame it is to do this to a patient. I would also hope that Baycare does not bill Medicare or my supplemental for this encounter that never happened. I would not recommend this physician to anyone who does not have a lot of time on their hands to sit in a waiting room or exam room for a long time.

Absolutely, by far ,hands down,without a doubt...the worst group of unprofessional "professionals" I've ever had to deal with. The doctors are ok....it's just the staff! They don't answer the phone, never call you back,forget to schedule you but tell you that you are all good and scheduled. I've never seen anything like it .
