Waiting 3-4 hours not acceptable for an internist--happened regularly. I did not feel comfortable with some of his advice. We switched docs.

Dr. Scott Elsbree is one of the best doctors I have ever known. He is kind, compassionate, and always gives his patients the time they need to explain their issues so he can order the right tests and evaluate the health conditions. He treated my husband for many, many years with major health problems. Dr. Elsbree was always professional and kind. What a great doctor !!! Our community is extremely lucky to have him as a medical provider.

He is one of the smartest, kindest men I've ever known. He would help ANYONE and truly care about you as a person as well as your health. A doctor like him is hard to come by!

Yes the wait time is terrible but the Dr visit is so worth it. Dr Elsbree is kind, compassionate, honest and truly cares for his patient. I trust his care plan. When you're faced with a crisis you can trust he will be there, he has wiped my tears away numerous times. We are contractors and move every 3 years for work but he always welcomes my family back to his office.

Overbooking patients for more $s/absurd. Annual physical at 4:15. When I arrived standing room only in patient reception area. Advised it would be a 4 hour wait. I obviously did not wait and will send him a bill for the billable time I lost, Myth is that he is always late because he spends time with his patients! Truth is he is always late because he books more patients than he can handle and provide timely medical care to .

Bring a book or some work and accept the wait or find another PC doc. You will have 100% of his attention when he is with you. He is always late because he spends as much time as necessary. He is a brilliant diagnostician.

Dr Elsbree saved my life by the discovering the cancer that had been mis-diagnosed 5 times by various others. I was successfully treated for that cancer by Florida Cancer Specialists and Moffitt Cancer Center, but it all started with Dr Elsbree 5 years ago. My opinion..........he 's the best.

Arrogant, inconsiderate, a legend in his own mind. Very disrespectful of patient's time.
