Sarasota County Health Department

I have been to the health department and seen a Nurse Practitioner twice. To my surprise, I had two very good experiences. The NP was welcoming, informative, calm and sweet. I do not usually write reviews but she made my experience. I also did not have long wait times, and everyone was kind. So, thank you.

The care my kids have received here so far has been really good. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Atiyeh. She's been amazing with my daughters, patient, educational, just wonderful to work with. This last visit they put one of my daughters with NP Whitehead. I will not ever allow my child to be seen by her again. She didn't listen to me, focused on things that were unimportant and misdiagnosed the reason we were there. The nurses were/ are normally friendly and great, one a little less friendly than the other but overall kind. The staff answering the phones have always been great OTHER THAN the man. I can't remember his name, but if I hear his voice, I'll hang up and call back. No empathy. One thing they do need, is better availability for sick kids, took me two weeks to get 2 kids seen!

During these crazy times, I’m thankful that the county agency has provided consistent guidance and messaging about Covid-19 vaccinations, testing and care. Not only has my family received our vaccinations from the county in a timely fashion, but I work in the human services field and feel comfortable knowing my clients are well served by the county staff. Thanks to all of the Sarasota County Health Dept Team. Well done!
