Don’t waste your time like I did… they require records, which wouldn’t have been a problem if I was told when I scheduled, but I wasn’t told til I wasted my afternoon taking off work and driving to the office… that’s when they informed me lol… not the emails confirming appointment… not the text messages.. not even on the initial phone call when I scheduled… only after wasting my time, money and gas…. If I could give zero stars, I would…

The whole MM prescription and 6mo doctor visit is theater. Everyone has to get their slice of your dollar, but this office does a great job at being professional, informative, and friendly. You have to get it from somewhere, might as well be here.

Scheduling is easy and fast through their site. Office is clean and punctual with staff very helpful. Nurse guides you through best options for treatment and up to date on current state requirements and limits. Dr is extremely pleasant, easy to talk to, and listens to / addresses concerns without making you feel rushed. Been going to her for a couple years now and always recommend to everyone looking for treatment. If you are looking for a Medical Marijuana Doctor your search is over - you’ve found her.

The receptionist was very friendly and helpful with the many forms that needed filled out and read. The doctor was very pleasant and listened to my concerns, gave me information about the different types of products available and suggestions about how to determine the best type for my issues...best recommendation, "start slow". The follow-up be lady gave me paperwork and explained the process of the required paperwork for the state and answered all questions that I had. A very pleasant experience all around. I would definitely recommend MMTC. for your cannabis certification.Follow up visit for recertification was just as pleasant as the first. Different doctor but also very pleasant and helpful.

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.

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!

Their office and waiting area is really nice. The staff was helpful. I have been going here for over 2 yrs. Unfortunately the doctor could no longer prescribe the allotment Im approved for. Not sure why/when things changed. I was issued a refund & all orders cancelled.

Very smooth process and excellent Dr. - he was very informative and thorough. He provided recommendations and explained all other options that would work for me. I got to dispensary and the recommendation was not showing. I called the Dr. who had already left the office and he got it all figured out within 15 mins. He went above and beyond and I appreciate that very much. Highly recommend!!

What an excellent experience! From the receptionist, to the nurse, to the doctor, everyone was pleasant and very happy to share their knowledge. I felt heard! Someone actually listened to my medical issue and understood how they could help, instead of just passing me off and saying, “see you in 3 months.” I was so pleased with that.

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. 👍

The process was painless. The doctor was kind and caring. She explained everything well.My only complaint is the cost.$180 every 6 month seems high for 7 min on the phone. Maybe that's average. I will be looking around for better deal.

Marvelous staff they helped me get the medicine I needed. Even lightened the mood and removed these bad stigmas on cannabis. I'm grateful I was helped by their knowledgeable staff. This place is one of supreme location, prompt service. If you want to be helped and seen in s timely manner I'd suggest you give them a chance to please you. The price may be standard but they'll cut you slack your first time around, if you transfer in. But what would make this page top of the line to me if they'd continue giving you that price

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.

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).

WAS not told before appointment we needed to bring a dx with us fortunately I brought an x-ray report with us or we would not been seenhowever my son had an appointment and had been seen by another doctor in i different county and did not have a DX with him and could not be seen. My son made an appointment with the doctor I was seeing so he could take us and see the doctor at the same time. We live one & half hour from my son and he is hard for him to get time off as he has his own plumbing business. He was very upset because he needed that appointment.

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.

Very convenient. Nurse Natalie could not have been any more friendly, welcoming and thorough. The doctor was very professional and thorough as well. I would definitely recommend this facility to those seeking medical marijuana treatment. They definitely take away the stigma often associated with marijuana being used for medical treatment.
