The Best Office visit. It's always a pleasure to visit this doctor's office. I feel very comfortable. I never leave with a question none answered. I'm well cared for. And I have the pleasure to be set straight, when I don't follow the doctor's order. Sometimes I get careless with my self, and Dr: Maria Cardenas and staff let me know where I mess up. I feel safe and secure. I am well treated, and well taken care of. Great job Guys!

I will loosely refer to Maria Cardenas as "doctor" Menas Cardenas. I recently accompanied my father for his yearly physical to her practice in Kissimmee . After a 2 hour wait time I respectfully inquired about the wait and soon after , an angry looking lady in a white coat stomped into the examination room. She did not acknowledge my after or myself. Proceeded to sit at the computer and begin typing something bogus because she certainly knew nothing about her patient. She then proceeded to read questions and enter things into the medical record . She performed a hap hazard physical exam and wrote my father some scripts. Not only was she unprofessional in every sense of the word, she encompasses everything I aim not to be as a future physician.
