Joyce Luane Roberts, DO Internal Medicine in Tampa, FL

Excellent experience

I was not impressed with Dr. Roberts. She immediately started to change my medication that I have had prescribed to me for years without even asking or discussing why I was taking or dosing decisions. When I asked about potential treatments that were recommended to me by urgent care providers I had seen to treat a distressing issue I am experiencing, she very rudely told me the idea was terrible. I feel she did not listen to my concerns and was very unprofessional. I will not be returning for another appointment with her, I will be making an appointment with the original provider I tried to make an appointment with. I also need to see a neurosurgeon and she could not recommend anyone. She stated she didn't know any providers and to find someone I knew. The whole experience was unsettling. I knew I could not establish primary care with her, as I felt she did not listen or have my best interest.

Brusk and hurried.

She seemed to rush through the appointment and talked really fast. Cut me off when discussing concerns that were of other specialties.

Very disappointed, no physical assessment was conducted, no attempt to assess how bothersome my concern was to me, when I tried to ask questions related to what could be the explanation for my issue, the answer was not my area of expertise. Labs and imagings were ordered; however, without any assessment or history taking the severity or urgency of my issue could have been missed. The very least, the visit left me feeling I was an imposition to her schedule.
