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!

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. Thanks

Absolutely awesome group of professionals. I needed additional assistance with forms and they were extremely helpful and friendly. The Doctor is very informative and doesn’t make you feel rushed. They are there to assist you even after you leave the office. I couldn’t be happier and will refer them whenever possible.

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, FL

Very professional and not a hole in the wall office. The Doctor and Receptionist were pleasant personable. There was a bit of a wait even with an appointment time scheduled but I've learned that all doctors are never or at least rarely on time.

Nice, small environment. Staff was personable. I was expecting a larger facility, however, everything was good. Everyone was professional and helped me with the medical marijuana process.

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 options

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.

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.

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! ♡

They scheduled my appointment almost immediately. The application process was painless and seamless. My information was entered into the State Board almost instantly. The Doctor was very professional and thorough. He gave me recommendations and advice on my initial visit to the dispensary. I would recommend this clinic to anyone.

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.

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.

I love the new doctor. He takes his time to listen and explain the different options of treatments (I've been using 1.5 years) and I'm looking forward to trying different products for my migraines now. The whole Sun City office is great. Always welcoming and friendly.

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!

These people only care about money they charge $200 each time you renew your license and they refused to raise limits on people with cancer and Ms when I can't get enough r s o to last me the 70-something days. Don't ever use this place for a license to rip off a Tascam in the doctor's nothing cannabis medication whatsoever

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.

$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. Any questions for me?Honestly, the Med Marijuana works really well for me but I can't understand the cost to see a Dr for minutes. I hope to find a less expensive alternative.

Dr. E was great! She really took her time to educate me on all the different types of medical marijuana. It wasn’t a 2 second conversion she actually spent 10 mins on telling me what was good for my back issues. Would recommend Dr. E to anyone that needs this service!

1609966539
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 later

Appointment was at 9:00am, doctor didn’t even arrive until 9:30am and had 5 patients waiting. Once she arrived the appointment was quick. They also seem overpriced. After my appointment I looked up a different provider closer to my house and follow ups were $60 less. I’ll be changing providers on my next follow up.

The seminar was very informative. So much so, that I made an appointment for two days later and saw a Doctor at one of their clinics to get the ball rolling. That evening I applied for my card, and hopefully in a couple weeks I can be one of those people who "got their life back". I was very impressed with the people involved, both at the seminar, and at the clinic.

Had to wait a few (15 min) for doctor but it was so worth it. Doctor was informative and helpful from my qualifying and info regarding dispensaries. Front desk staff was very helpful. Then someone helped me with my online medical marijuana form and online payment. Wow was I impressed! I would recommend
