While I really appreciate my primary care physician at this practice, the practice itself is a money making business. Not a doctor’s office. Don’t expect any compassion or care from the staff, expect to be treated as number. I have just - five minutes ago - left their Miami Beach offices after being turned away because their system showed my health coverage as being inactive. I called my health coverage provider immediately, who assured me it’s active. I have no idea why the systems are not talking to one another accurately, but my point is - I am a long standing patient of the practice. Over twelve years. I have NEVER had an outstanding balance or an unpaid bill. Surely you say to a longstanding patient - come in, see the doctor, and we will sort out the insurance as soon as we can? Instead I was told it’s better if I reschedule when this is resolved. I am in total disbelief, and very disappointed.

The practice is a disgrace to medical field. Adriana claims she is in charge of the office and denies care to patient due to $100 of questionable balance. Adriana is rude, unprofessional and shouldn’t be anywhere near medical office.

I wish I did not listen to the reviews here.

I've never had a problem with the staff. They are polite, professional, and personable. The doctors, on the other hand...

I came here hoping I would receive adequate care and guidance... but after more than two years, I see that all these doctors are doing is collecting their checks.

I had a doctor (general practitioner, or GP), Lian Jelenszky, get angry at me for asking for a referral to a specialist. She brushed aside my chronic symptoms, and actually rolled her eyes when I asked to see a specialist!

Yet another GP, Danny Abouekde, heard all of my concerns, but addressed only half of them! He wanted me to "come back in a month or two, if [the other concerns] get worse." Talk about milking the cow!

The gastrointestinal specialists here are not good, either. Arin Newman will brush aside your questions because all he wants to do is schedule a procedure ASAP, or prescribe you medication...for which he is being paid. David Cohen, on the other hand, asks you many questions, yet barely provides insight; it's as if the roles are reversed! My visits with him were extremely disappointing.

Ultimately, I had to conduct extensive research on my own—reading academic journals and reports, watching lectures from top doctors and universities, searching through patient forums, trial-and-error through my daily activities—to find out my condition. Since then, I've made some lifestyle changes, and my health has improved. And yet, I am still in search for a knowledgeable, ethical professional for a second opinion.

The quality of healthcare in this country is at an all-time low. The doctors are mercenaries—glorified employees, contractors, and business owners—and see you as dollar signs, not as people with problems. The fewer dollar signs you offer, the less they will do to help you. It is at PGSFL that I became completely disillusioned.

Loved the idea to have a group of physicians in the same office. This is what we had in Georgia. The website says new patients to call in to meet and register. Operator says to go the website. The website does not say which physicians accept new patients. Operators say to look at website. Going through hoops here to register our 4 member family! I am convinced you have a great practice but figuring out how to get in and to get assigned to an internist is difficult. I just wish sometimes owners would test themselves through mystery shopping, clients experience at every level of a regular user. Thank you

Have been woth them for years and loved them, but now I am going to need to look fir a new Dr due to their new policies. Namely, if you call for a sick visit, they make you go to their Miami Beach Office, unless you want to wait 3+ days. I have no interest in driving 45 minutes each way.

I love Dr. Jane Cohen, my Physician. An excellent Internal Medicine Specialist, always thorough in her evaluations, interested in listening to her patient and welcoming your
questions with a smile.
The members of the Nursing and Clerical Staff are very attentive and
cheerful making you, the patient, feel relaxed and comfortable.
The Offices are modern, friendly and spacious.
