Windermere Medical Center

WARNING! This place could kill you! No joke… Not only is the receptionist condescending and inappropriate by asking what’s wrong with you in the lobby in front of everyone, she request that you make your co-​pay with cash… Seems Shady… But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
I was there for Bronchitis and had to take chest C-​Rays 3 times because the technician kept messing up… The doctor, Nicole Colon, then forgot to call in my medication to Walgreens… Fast forward 1 week… I’m still not better and thought I should go back. I got the same Doctor, Nicole Colon. She gave me a shot and sent in a script to Walgeens… All good, right?! NO!!!
I am only allergic to 1 thing in this world; Codeine. They even ask everytime at the doc repeatedly which is annoying bc it seems like they can’t read the chart… Nicole Colon prescribed me medication with Codeine which thankfully Walgreens caught and brought to my attention…
The only thing I would recommend about this facility is the chiropractor who is awesome! Other than that… Proceed at your own risk!

We went to a pediatric appointment here. The receptionist was loud and obnoxious. I even heard her telling another patient that they charge a $ 15 convenience fee to get blood work done there. I think that’s absurd. The doctor was just ok. My child did not like the experience at all. We won’t be returning.

Dr Patel and his team is simply amazing! Love this place. Do your research and you will find many others that love him too!

Disappointed. Front office staff rude and condescending. Poorly represents the medical staff before patients ever get that far. Pressure you to vote this MD as number one before you EVEN MEET the MD. Shoving an iPad in my face to vote for him. (Can I meet the man first !!!). Disappointed in Dr. Patel who, during a recent physical, fixated more on a borderline EKG and completely overlooked the obvious signs (also my verbal report of) of bronchitis. Another doctor had to prescribe antibiotics and steroids. Too quick to setup additional and costly exams. Shame. I had high hopes for this place. Will not return.

I had exceptional guest service from Caitlin at the front desk. She was really nice and helpful and made sure everything was in order for me! Keep her!

First thing. Don’t go here. Its a scam.

Update before you read rest.
My lab says they sent the report on 1^st September, and this clinic tells me they have not received the results (today is 9^th September) so they can’t share it with me. I am going to weigh my legal options.
Now to the original story.

Would have given zero if possible. Will review again after next visit. I am stuck with this center now.
A lot of reviews seems paid reviews. They are mostly like me with very few reviews. But then who goes and writes one or two good reviews and nothing else. People who write few reviews will write only negative ones in anguish:) Now back to the point.
I went there for blood work and annual. Its been 2 weeks and blood result is not there.
My EKG was not good means heart isn’t working fine. The Doctor recommended I come back next week for 2d Echo. Went there and now its more than a week and no result of that.
So I have been waiting for 2 weeks to know whats wrong with me, and they seem to keep asking me to come back for follow up after 4 weeks. They don’t do blood test, don’t review any other results. They act more like brokers sitting in between, sending papers in an out and making money in between. Patients aren’t a priority.
This place is ok if you cut your fingers or have fever maybe. But if you want anything serious, just don’t even bother to get in there.
I will update this review or add a new one once I have my next visit which is 2 weeks from now. So 4 weeks after blood test and a not good EKG during annual checkup, I will know if I need to do anything different in my life.
Just don’t go there till I post my next review about how they tried to rectify or explain me.

I’m a patient of Dr Patel for about 4 months now his service has expertise as education and his assistant is unremarkable this is the place to get all your medical needs

Dr. Patel and Nurse Practitioner Nicole are amazing. They have been so supportive of me since I started coming here at the beginning of the year. I have some health issues and they always look out for my best interest and I would refer them both to anyone.

I’ve been to see Dr Patel twice. The office is new, clean and exceedingly well maintained. New equipment, on-​site labs and x-​ray; it’s just a very convenient location with some very nice folks.
Both visits were set up with relatively short notice. I had an appointment at 6 pm — how many doctors do you know who work that late? And it wasn’t to see a nurse practitioner, either — though I’ve had good experiences with some NPs as well.
Bottom line — the prices are reasonable, the service well above average and the convenience is a ¹⁰⁄₁₀. This is my doctor of choice, and I’ve recommended him to friends and family — and now to you. Feel free to reach out for details if you want more info.

If you have PPO insurance and need urgent care near Disney World, this is the place to go. It’s a primary care /​specialist clinic which operates during extended hours including weekends. Basically it’s urgent care at primary care prices so our copay was $ 45 instead of $ 75. To make it better, the $ 45 price includes extra services like the lab work and X-​ray we received. The staff are efficient and friendly, the doctors are excellent and the facility is brand new with all the modern equipment. They have staff internists, pediatricians (important if you have kids), chiropractors etc. Prior to finding this facility, we called around looking for urgent care — all the local clinics had 2 – 3 hour waits. When we called this clinic, they registered us over the phone and cleared with our insurance prior to arrival. Our nine year daughter was seen immediately, had urine tests and an X-​ray which was read by a radiologist. We had a prescription and were on our way in under an hour. This place is the best kept secret in the Disney area. I wish all urgent care facilities were this good!

I am new to Florida and was in a bind when I cut myself deeply on the sharp edge of a metal lid and didn’t know where the local ER was. Luckily I remember seeing this place in my local shopping center, and they took me in quickly with open arms and much better care than you get in the hospital! Nicole – the nurse – was so sweet and sewed my stitches perfectly – I don’t think I’m going to scar! Plus, I didn’t have to wait in line behind anyone (gushing blood). The doctor was wonderful too. It’s rare these days to get this type of «small town» customer service/​bedside manner in healthcare, and I’m so grateful to have these folks nearby.

Windermere Medical Center is amazing. What stands out from this office compared to other ones is Dr. Patel. The most important thing to me is that he is very thorough and knowledgable. People often expect medicine or think medicine is what they need when they really don’t. So many doctors (at least ones I have seen in the past), medicate you and you are in and out of there in 5 minutes. That is not the way Dr. Patel works and I love that. I know that he is looking out for my best interest and not just trying to put me on some medication to get me out of there. I am so happy with how Dr. Patel and his staff treat me. Now that I found them, I will NEVER go anywhere else and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you for all that you do for me!

I’ve had nothing but positive experiences at Windermere Medical Center. First off, I admit I am someone who does experience a lot of anxiety at doctors offices. I have seen both Dr. Patel and Nicole Colon the nurse practitioner there, and they both have amazing bedside manner. They’re both friendly, warm, and are great listeners. I feel very well taken care of at Windermere Medical Center, and trust them with my medical needs. I am so appreciative to them for making this anxious patient feel comfortable and cared for! I highly recommend them!

Went here and the doctor was the nicest I have ever met. He really cared for my situation which is saying a lot. I have gone to 4 different doctors in 2 Months. The first 2 contributed to me being admitted to the hospital. At this place, they broke down everything and explained it all thoroughly. Even went in to some of my family history. Highly recommend!

I went to the medical center today for the first time. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. After one visit I have already made this my primary care doctor. The woman at the front desk was amazing and extremely helpful and patient. I even asked her name but I forgot because I wasn’t feeling very well. I didn’t wait long at all to see someone. I would and will recommend them to all of my friends.

If I could give no stars I would! The biggest waste of our money EVER, we went in because my husband was feeling extremely sick, they tested him for strep throat and it was negative, (the girl that did the test was trying to teach some guy nurse how to do it but she didn’t know how to do it herself) they were unable to test him for the flu because their test kit or equipment was not working… which is what we suspected that he had. The doctor said one thing the nurse practitioner said a complete different thing!!! They told us to go buy Afrin but he’s nose wasn’t stuffed up… Long story short we ended up leaving there and paid a $ 125 for nothing, no medicine, no test, no nothing!!! Ended up in emergency room at hospital and they found what he had!!! SO DONT USE THIS PLACE!!! It will BE A WASTE OF YOUR MONEY!!!

If you are looking for great doctors, helpful, and friendly staff then this place is it! They have a huge facility and most of the services can be done in house. It’s nice to even have an after hours urgent care within the practice. I’ve finally found a doctor that treats me like a person instead of number and can address all my needs. Best of all they take all types of medical insurance.
