Family Medicine practitioners - Riverview, FL

"I have been with Dr. Cheesman for over a year. He is very thorough. The office staff uses an electronic system that saves me time. The doctor refers me to specialists as needed. They are generally in the Florida Medical Clinic Network, which keeps all my records in one place. That is a big time and aggravation saver! I am pleased with the care I have received."

"Dr. Sarquis is nice, but she doesn’t listen to her patients. She over-talks you when you are trying to explain issues/symptoms. Office staff doesn’t always know what’s going on, several times there has been confusion as to what or when I was to follow up regarding appointments or labs. "

"After a yearly visit as a new patient Dr. Sirchia assigned blood pressure medication for me to begin taking. After nine months of taking this prescription they refused to approve a renewal unless I had an appointment scheduled. When an in person was not available, the desk clerk offered a video chat appointment instead. When asked what the purpose of a video appointment would be to check blood pressure I was informed that they just had to have an appointment scheduled. After booking an appointment for early the next month and fighting to get a renewal on much needed blood pressure medication, I was only approved an amount of medication that, based on directions, would not even last until my next appointment. I was then refused a prescription renewal until I had my appointment again. This is a medication that was assigned by the Dr and is one that can have damaging effects if one just stops taking cold turkey. It is non- habit forming and essential to heart health. To make a patient jump through hoops like this is illogical and obviously a cash grab for additional appointments. I would not recommend this physician to anyone I know. "

"I love the fact that this office is open late hours so I don't have to miss work. Also, Dr Dowdy is very professional and attentive. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. I would and have recommended this doctor/office to all of my local friends and family."
