Dr. Vicki Rose Mccarren, MD

This doctor is good until you have real medical issues. She ignored many months of symptoms destroying my quality of life until a scan from another location showed I had no thyroid glands. I learned the many bloodwork labs showed borderline thyroid disease but she ignored the test results that corresponded with my symptoms. She then blackballed me from seeing other Intercoastal doctors with requiring her recommendation and then refusing to recommend me to other doctors. She really wanted to hide her irresponsibility. She was a great doctor until I had an active illness she ignored.

Dr McCarren has been my Primary Doctor since 2006 when I was Diagnosed with a severe liver disorder. She saw me through many hospital stays, worked closely with my Gastroenterologist, SMH, and Tampa General through many issues which resulted in an organ transplant in 2010. She continues to be my primary Physician and I find her very knowledgeable, thorough, and a Doctor who takes time to listen to her patients.

Dr. McCarren was my doctor when I was in FL. She also was my Mom’s. She is a great doctor. Listens, caring and knowledgeable. I wish I could still see her but have left the area.

I love Dr Mccarren, she takes time to listen to you.

She missed thyroid disease with borderline blood work and severe symptoms. ER visit from symptoms revealed glands destroyed due to her failure to diagnose. Refused to recommend me to another doctor within this group. AVOID FOR HEALTH!

Dr. Vicki McCarren was my husband's internist until his death from cancer and has been mine for over 15 years. She is absolutely wonderful---well informed, a good listener, empathic but sensible and down to earth. I have been delighted with her manner and her expertize , her discernment, her entertaining several possibilities and coming up with the best solution, and her willingness to take the time needed to give good treatment. She refers to good specialists whenever needed. In fifteen years , I have never had one complaint about her in any way. I would recommend her to anyone who would like an excellent female physician!!!!

Used this doc in 2004-2006 when first living here. Moved and returned in 2013, returning to a doctor who had drastically changed. I had severe health issues with fatigue, pain, plantar faciiatis and had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Went to her getting severely worse in spring, 2014 but she had no answer. Two months later in ER test showed my thyroid glands destroyed and needed thyroid med. I called her and she reiterated my blood test did show borderline results with thyroid levels but she NEVER pursued any recourse. I fired her. NOW, other Intercoastal Medical Doctors will not accept me after they contact her for transfer. This is irresponsible for a medical practice if they care about putting patients first. What about their oath, do no harm?

Great caring doctor.

Despite that it says she is accepting new patients, she is NOT!

Office Staff wouldn't let me speak to the Doctor due to a business matter, nor would they allow me to ask her about a script I could not do without. If her office rules her medical decisions, I don't need to see her.
