Uhealth At Coral Gables

I made an appt with Dr. Lachanda Dudley to have my prescriptions refilled. She was nice and said she’d refill them electronically but she never did anything. Later my pharmacy told me they had no prescription and that I’d need to call my doctor. When I called back Dr Dudley’s office to see what happened the staff was extremely rude over the phone. They even said I may have to come in again –and pay again — for my prescription refills (the whole reason I even had my first office visit was for my prescriptions). The office then never let me know when the prescription actually was called in and/​or if I needed to make another appt. I also had blood work done in their office and they never called or sent any letter telling me that the results were in. This office is very unprofessional and rude. They don’t do what they say they’re going to. I wouldn’t recommend this office to anyone. It may not even be Dr. Dudley but just a majority of the staff there.

The doctor with no answers. Every time I came to see her it was a waste of time. I got more information from google than from this doctor. She will charge you for everything and do nothing.

I am very reluctant to see doctors as I don’t really believe in what is typically practiced now-​a-​days where the doctor has no clue about you as a person or anything about you, sees you for 10 minutes and then basically does nothing. I recently saw a Chinese medicine/​Holistic doctor who was far better than any traditional «doctor». I digress… so when I needed to get forms filled out for UM in regards to my past history of vaccinations, called my insurance provider and they told me about UHealth. I called Dr. Dudley’s office and was able to be seen the VERY NEXT DAY! I was so happy as it was such an easy process. I saw Dr. Lachanda T. Dudley the next day and immediately was greeted by a SUPER friendly staff. I was questioning as to whether or not I was still in Miami!
Within 10 minutes, I was taken to see the doctor and she asked me a lot of questions about my family history and myself. Instead of trying to get all of the various vaccinations from my doctor that I saw, ohhh 10 years ago? she decided to just do blood-​work and see what I came up as being immune to and run the standard tests. She was very friendly and nice and made my experience quite pleasant.
Now on to the blood work that I had done in their office… Not only am I deathly afraid of needles, but I get very weak and dizzy when they are stuck into my flesh. This for me, is not a fun experience. I always have to ask the nurses drawing blood or doing anything that injects into my skin, to talk to me while they do it to take my mind off of what is going on. Most nurses just dooon’t get it. They don’t talk or feel weird to do that and it’s quite annoying as it would honestly help so much. The «conversation» that they ask me does anything but take my mind off of the situation. However, I didn’t even have to ask the nurse to talk to me while taking blood at Dr. Dudley’s office as RIGHT AWAY she started asking me questions even before putting the needle to take blood. She asked me about school, work, everything and made that experience so much better. Honestly, it was the firs time that I didn’t get weak or faint-​like. She asked me even before drawing blood how I react to it and got water for me just in case.
The entire staff was VERY professional and kind. I will definitely be returning to her as my primary physician. Definitely request Dr.Dudley.
Just some info on how to find the office as it is a little difficult to find being in the midsts of all the UM campuses, etc…
–When you come to Merrick drive you will see a parking garage and it is directly in front of the parking garage. You can street park or go into the garage and park in the spots that they something like «5 minute parking». When you park there, you can go and pay for parking. Then after you display this on your dashboard, you can park anywhere (don’t worry there’s a little attendant in the booth that will tell you all of this, but just in case he’s not there you have these directions). Then when you come out there will be a door labeled 5513 on the left hand side. That is for UM vaccinations. It is not the correct door. There is another door to your right labeled «pharmacy». Go to the second floor past the pharmacy and to your left. That is the office :)
