Citrus Med Primary Care Clinic

PROS: *Doctors seem to genuinely care about their patients. *If you do not have medical insurance they will provide free or majorly discounted treatment and discounted medications at their in-house pharmacy. *They take walk-in patients on short notice if you need to see someone right away. You may have a long wait time if you didn't have an appointment but, I think that's to be expected. *They have liaisons to assist you with applying for SSDI, Medicare, and other benefits. CONS: *The parking situation is usually a nightmare. *You cannot contact your doctor or their assistant directly. You must go through the appointment department and they are not always efficient or polite. And, sometimes they are awesome. Unfortunately, it is hit or miss with them. You must stay on top of the situation. One of my personal experiences with Citrus after contacting an unprofessional law firm for help with my SSDI case: I went to Citrus Health Network, a local community healthcare/mental health clinic and met with Lauren, their Social Security Liaison. Within a few months she helped me to get approved for SSDI and Medicare. I received three years' worth of back benefits very quickly. I had my first of many needed surgeries shortly after that and it was fully covered by Medicare. Lauren accomplished what I couldn't, working around the clock for three years, in just a few months. She was so pleasant and easy to work with. She answered and returned calls either immediately or close to it every time. She stayed right on top of everything on both my end and with Social Security. She is a true Angel. All of her time and service was completely free of charge. YES, FREE! I kept 100% of all three years of back pay. She was always professional and caring. If you are in need of benefits please check with your local community clinics to find out if they have a benefits liaison before contacting lawyers. She saved me so much time and money. I did not have to give a third of my money to someone (a lawyer) who only cared about making money and not my health. I am forever grateful to Lauren and Citrus.

I called to make an appointment because I would like to resume coming to the doctor as is being more than 2 years I called to make an appointment and they are not accepting in person appointment but when I call other medical centers many are accepting in person appointments don't understand the reasons why when many other places have all the covid-19 precautions in place and they thankfully are seen patients face to face I am calling other medical centers to change my primary doctor.

I remember that in 2015, I used to get hospitalized here. The pros and cons of this Citrus: Pros: 1. The staff cares for you. 2. I had a HUGE crush on a girl at this Citrus-but I never saw her again! (But I wish I could see her again) Cons: *1. Horrible treatment. I used to get hospitalized in this place again, again, again, etc. 2. It could be boring for you. I remember that when I was here, I was so bored. But I'm sure that for some patients that I've seen when I was a patient here, maybe they weren't so bored as I was. *Maybe there is excellent treatment from this Citrus today-because in my time as a patient here (back in 2015) there was horrible treatment.
