Tampa Occupational Health

This place is great. I live in Sarasota & get annual physicals for work. Experience with a big clinic in Sarasota I went to one of those large cattle-call clinics near my home. The 1st appointment took 5 hours. Subsequent appointments take several (3-4) hours. I had trouble with the blood draws there: nauseous, dizzy, could not see, almost passed out. My coworker was stabbed repeatedly there by the two best needle people + they never got a sample. My experience at Tampa Occupation Health: Absolutely no waiting, no giant waiting room full of people. I got there, was met by the owner, who is a nurse (nurse pratcitioner, I think). She administered all the tests, no waiting in between. I got blood drawn -no problem. She told me the way I did that stupid lung test was making it more difficult (was the way I was taught at the other clinic). I was done in one hour. It takes less time to drive an hour to Tampa, get the physical, and drive home, plus I feel good, not nauseous or weak.

I agree. It seems they are not very conscientious about keeping the hours they advertise. This is not a very professional health service. Stick to the larger, more stable companies to do business with. This one will not be around for very long, since they don't have very good business ethics.

Call before you go...they aren't there when they say they will be. Waited at the door to their suite for 45 minutes (from 9:00 to 9:50) no one showed, no one answered phones. The message says "Welcome....our office hours are Mon - Thurs 9:00 to 11:30..." Beware, they know how to tell time or change their recording to let customers know they won't be in.
