05/02/2023

I was treated with care and respect by all of the team. The dr. Took his time to explain a lot to me and i felt like he really cared that i understand. That means a lot in a world that usually treats you as a number and not a person.

I would recommend them to anyone..soooo compassionate

12/10/2022

St Joe is a good hospital

12/08/2022

This provider made me feel very uncomfortable. He referred to me as chubby‚ and told me I should not be on the medication I am on. He told me that I should not have children until I have lost weight. He asked if I have ever tried to lose weight and when I didn't give him enough detail because I was uncomfortable, he proceeded to push. My experience caused me to walk out of this office in tears as I struggle with an eating disorder and he was not considerate of the possibility of that. I would never come back to see this doctor again.
