Primary Care Doctors - Saint Petersburg, FL

"RUN AWAY. NEW PATIENTS BEWARE!!! Are you looking for a doctor's office that will prioritize your care and well being? If so, find a different office. This office's business practices are designed to milk every dollar from you BEFORE you even get to see a medical professional. They require a $150 meet-and-greet with the doctor before they will perform any covered services. The best part? They don't tell you this upfront. While I was in the waiting room trying to comprehend their terrible policies, I was witness to another unbelievable event. An elderly patient was trying to see her doctor. Unlike most offices that will invoice after the visit, AllCare wants their $$$ first. The elderly lady did a direct payment from her HSA to the doctor and came with proof of payment. That was not good enough for AllCare. They refused service to this lady until she handed over a credit card - even though they were actively talking with the HSA company and could confirm payment. This elderly lady was scared of being refused medical services. After both of these ethically-questionable events, I politely informed the front desk that I found their business practices misaligned with my morals and would be seeking a different doctor. She kindly said she understood and I left, thinking that was the end of the relationship. I was wrong. I received a call from the office manager approximately 20 minutes after leaving. From what I gathered, her intentions were merely to yell at and berate me. I calmly explained that AllCare is not the doctor's office for me. She then went on a tirade about how I do not know how to run a small business. I informed her that my family has ran a small business for 15 years, and we would never treat a customer with such disrespect. She said she would call my insurance company and..... tell on me? tell them I'm mean? I'm not sure, it was quite bizarre. She then demanded to know the name of my company, said never-mind, she knows how to google, then hung up on me. I am still astounded by the extreme lack of professionalism. Long story short - Find a different doctor unless you like your health being held hostage by a credit card craving Karen. AllCare? More like NoCare."

"I have been taking my children to this pediatrician for 11 years. The practice is wonderful. They are always willing to answer any questions you may have and listen to any concerns as well. I have a child with special needs and they have always worked with me to make sure she gets the care she needs. The office is clean and bright and all the staff is friendly and cheerful anytime we've been there. "

"Super clean office and very nice staff. Answered all my questions."

"This Doctor and her staff are very RUDE! I can believe with all of these complaints she is still in business. I will never go back!"

"Since moving here 5 years ago, I've been looking for a primary care doctor. Dr. Scutaru was the 5th that I've tried & once again, was let down. I was sick for almost a month and called 2x's during that month to NEVER get a call back. Not impressed. "
