Today I met the staff at this facility for my medical review and the ladies up front helped me with a problem I was… having registering my email with the state for my medical card. With a few steps on her computer she was able to confirm my release from my former doctor and my new email was all set up. Within a few minutes I met my new Dr Jose Samalot who was very helpful in explaining many things that has changed in this field since my last medical exam. Overall everyone was very helpful and professional. The fee’s are much better than you can find with most providers. It saved a considerable amount and I will be telling everyone I know who needs these services. The doctor is very nice and very personable, as well as the staff. I will highly recommend Choice Medical Group as I am very happy to have found this office.Ferdinand DeFeliceread more

The doctors and staff there really take the scariness out of the process and treat you like a person. Like another… review mentioned, I went in worried about how things were going to go and if I had to rehash my entire medical history yet again just to receive relief. That didn’t happen. Assessments are quick and the doctors really understand that the process doesn’t have to be complicated thank youread more

Was in FL for a few days and had the opportunity to check out this new-ish restaurant for brunch. It was definitely a… unique experience that I want to try again next time I’m in town! The space is beautifully decorated, I believe it used to be a beer garden, with lots of plants, sunlight, and comfy seats. You can either eat/smoke/drink at the bar or at a table.

Never thought that marijuana would be the fix for me but it works. oil’s have worked tremendously. It took me a whale… to figure it out. Just wish the insurance company would get involved with this it would be so much cheaper all the way around for everyone. they won’t and you wanna know why because it’s marijuana. I am 62 years old I I smoke marijuana my whole life and I’m still breathing today. If I would’ve done alcohol my whole life I would really be messed up see the difference here. Government likes their tax money they’ll never shut alcohol down they make too much money on it even though it kills people.read more
