"It took many tests and some trial-and-error, but we found I had 2 separate issues happening at the same time. Both drs... have continued to work on ensuring to keep a balance between my meds. I am extremely sensitive to even small changes in meds, so I really appreciate their diligence and patience."
— Patient review on Birdeye/LocalityBiz"Billing confusion led to collection and lack of receipts or clear itemization... The administrative confusion, bureaucracy and sheer arrogance of the customer service department at Bayfront are all proof of something clearly broken in their system."
— Review on PissedConsumer"To Smith, the most remarkable part of the process was the speed and immediate relief. 'I went in early in the morning, it was done by noon and then I had to lay on my back for four hours,' he said. 'I spent most of the rest of the day walking the floors of the hospital.'"
