Dr Slezka is kind and a great listener. He has only treated me for a year and sees me twice a year but I feel like he has cared for me for many years, I trust him. We always have a good diagnostic visit but always enjoy a laugh or two through the appointment. It is important to me to have such a rapport with my Doctor, especially a heart specialist.

05/02/2023

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.
