Always so very helpful and informative! I can no longer count the number of hours these folks have dedicated to... helping me overcome constant and intense pain. Because of their knowledge and willingness to share it, I’ve been able to experience pain free times for the first time in 20 years! Thank you so much!read more

The Sun Center is very convenient for me. I like the way they get you in and out. However I do not understand why I... pay $180 yearly as a Veteran and my sister in law only pays $100 to another marijuana doctor in Sun Center and she is not a Veteran. Thanksread more

Became a member on 8/25/22 and signed up for the rewards program the same day. Made a purchase of $70.00 the same day.... Check my Rewards app on Saturday and didn't see the points. Called MUV Apollo Beach and Desmond stated the signature wasn't captured until Saturday morning at 8:24am. Well that didn't stop the signing in and approving all the paper work at the front desk on Thursday morning and then making a purchase with Juan. If my signature was good enough for paying then it should be enough for my reward points. Why should I be penalized for MUV's slow IT process. Surely not the way to start out a business relationship. Hopefully management will sort this all out. Robert Kelly Sun City Center, FLread more

The sun city location is very efficient. They get you in quick and are willing to answer questions and have great... knowledge. My only complaint is that charging $199. Every 6 months is a money grab by the state of Florida!! In Ohio you pay the initial fee then when you renew its half the price if your card is not expired and they only renew once a year not every 6 months. So in my opinion this is a money grab on patients looking for holistic health optionsread more

Everyone at the Sun city Center facility was very nice. I had a very informative session to get me started on my... journey.***The only thing that's disturbing for me is that it's nearly $500 a year to have this medical card. I had a medical card in another state and that was not the fee. It's very expensive for someone who is on an extremely limited income.read more

I was in and out in about 10 minutes and the new patient forms were simple. Just make sure you bring a copy of your... medical records that show the diagnosis(es) that you are requesting a prescription for. The staff was extremely friendly and the doctor was very pleasant. He made sure I was knowledgeable about the different types and formulas and which is best for a particular ailment. His clerk was nice and had a lot of information handy and explained well how to finish registering with the State. I paid with the receptionist and went home to register. I had a confirmation email within an hour from the State giving me the go ahead to start shopping. I highly recommend this office.read more

The new Doctor was patient and kind. He took his time to review my medical records and health history. I didn't feel... rushed or as if I was just another number on the days calendar full of appointments. I felt my anxieties slowly put to ease, my questions answered with sincerity and honesty. The Doctor taking his time with explaining things and going over things in detail that in the past 4 years of coming to this same office I have not yet heard.... Very Impressive! As always the sweet gal at the front counter was very pleasant, welcoming and always does whatever necessary to get us patients in and out in a timely manner - Thank You so much Sun City MMTCFL! ♡read more

This was a very easy and quick process. Arrived at the correct appointment time and was greeted by friendly and... knowledgeable receptionist. We then completed a short questionnaire and with a very short wait was directed to Doctor's office. He asked the appropriate questions, reviewed my history and then approved my MM request. Very friendly and unpretentious. This was actually a good experience with the whole process taking less than twenty minutes. I highly recommend MMTC to anyone who feels the need for Medical Marijuana.read more

In the Sun City Center office, I was particularly impressed with the young lady at the front desk, Nichole. There were... several people in the very busy office-some were waiting to be seen, some were filling out paperwork, some were just coming in. Nichole handled everyone very professionally and respectfully, with a smile.I also like the doctor, whose name I don't recall. He is friendly and also very well qualified-he was an ER doc, who's likely seen it all.read more

Listen to the reviews and AVOID MMTC LAKELAND. I made the mistake of returning to this clinic out of convenience and it... was a huge waste of time. During my first appointment Echevarria-Crespo answered her phone twice DURING our session so she could explain to her daughter in college how to use a rice cooker.When it came time for my tele-health renewal Echevarria-Crespo couldn't figure out how to work her phone and just renewed me with no consultation. Now that tele-health is gone I was forced back to this office against my better judgement and Echevarria-Crespo stated wasn't I was no longer allowed to have my dispensing routes and she was going to reset everything to the minimum. As I was leaving she tried to refer me to another MMTC doctor who "could give me what I need" - what a SCAM!AVOID MMTC - AVOID ECHEVARRIA-CRESPO - THEY DO NOT MAKE THE GUIDELINES OF THIS PROGRAM - IT IS NOT THEIR JOB TO SET AND ENFORCE ARBITRARY LIMITS ON MEDICAL PATIENTS - MMTC IS A MONEY GRAB AND ISN'T CONCERNED ABOUT ACTUAL PATIENT WELLNESS.Went to DOCMJ they handled my renewal cheaper and with compassion, you are NOT forced to visit this bad clinic seek the help you deserve!read more

I’ve been going to this practice since it opened and was always treated with kindness and respect. My appointment was... one week ago with a new physician (I say that skeptically) and I will not be returning. I have never been treated with indignity, rudeness, or made to feel like a criminal by any physician. A doctor who tells me he may or may not be here for my next appointment in 6 months, does not speak well for this corporate business or doctor’s compassion. Stay away, there are plenty of mmj clinics in this area.read more

$199.00 to sit in front of a Dr. for all of 4 minutes...literally. Two questions asked, 1. Did you still want... edibles?2.

The staff are really nice I see the one in lakeland but I am really having a hard time keeping up with the costs and... living on a fixed income.... I really wish there was a way to keep the cost down.... $200 every 6 months may not seem like a lot but it is when you don't have savings because I literally live off each dime I get every month.... Is there a program or discount for people with low income... Its hard to pay for meds that actually work most days Hopefully insurance will start covering this as medicine sooner than laterread more
