It was a pleasurable experience. I transferred over from a clinic in Brandon and my first visit was only $49 since I... was transferring. They got me in and out of there in about 40 minutes and kept my prescription amount the same which was fine by me, I didn’t need an increase so didn’t ask for one. Will be referring my family members w cards to this clinic for sure. Oh and they said they give discount towards next visit for each referral I send which is what my last clinic did. I don’t remember if they said it was 10 or 15% off for each person but either way I like to save money and that’s one way to do it.read more

Cost for medical marijuana is ridiculously high. (No pun intended) You have to pay for a doctor twice a year that comes... to about $300. Then you have to get a license with the state of Florida, that cost $75, that’s not so bad. I think the initial start up cost is $500, and then the cost for the actual medicine cost hundreds of dollars more!read more

This was just an excellent appointment. Took a little bit to finally get back to see Doc but they were a little busy... and it was my first time so I always expect a little bit longer for those. The lady up was spot on with every single piece of advise on the procedures she told me and was excellent. Both pure professionalism. I actually can’t believe I’m saying it, but I left a doctors office in Florida feeling like the staff actually cared bout me receiving some relief from my issues. Unreal stuff. 👍read more

This was a very positive experience overall. Everyone was pleasant and informative.The Receptionist very deftly... handled new and returning patients in the clinic. She was very organized and thorough and maintained a calm atmosphere as she provided intake and assistance with form completion to a myriad of personalities with different levels of knowledge about medical marijuana.The center's nurse provided information onthe state's website and on available dispensories in our area. She showed examples of how the products are packaged and reviewed the numerous ways that MM can be ingested. As someone new to cannabis and cannaboids, I found her information very helpful.The doctor reviewed my medical history to confirm that I met the qualifications for MM. She was friendly and open to my pain management doctor tapering me off of my current pain medication and sleep aide as I begin MM. I highly recommend this office for management of MM.read more

I was denied care at this facility because I refused to wear a mask. One of the very reasons why I have a medical card... in the first place would dictate that I am not required to wear a mask. I’m extremely disappointed, as I went to this location twice, and was told that Dr. Echavarria would not see me without a mask. If anyone encounters this issue and is curious who they can see without being required to wear a mask, I just found CanAna MD in Tampa (I have no affiliation with them whatsoever).read more

I liked everything except the doctor. I was told in advance that I would spend an hour with a doctorate. She spent 15... minutes with me she did not greet me warmly. She's a very strong accent I had difficulty understanding what she said. She does not explain much about the Medicaid marijuana medications. She told me to look something up on the Internet. She told me that most of my questions would be answered by the nurse however the nurse put me through the registration procedure and didn't have time to answer questions. I did like the nurse very much otherwise.read more
