Family Medicine practitioners - Riverview, FL

"I have been with Dr. Cheesman for over a year. He is very thorough. The office staff uses an electronic system that saves me time. The doctor refers me to specialists as needed. They are generally in the Florida Medical Clinic Network, which keeps all my records in one place. That is a big time and aggravation saver! I am pleased with the care I have received."

"I came to Florida over twenty year's ago, and was blessed to have Dr. M as my primary. He is the kindest and most knowledgeable doctor I've ever had. Thank you sir for all you do, and may God continue to bless you and your family."

"After a yearly visit as a new patient Dr. Sirchia assigned blood pressure medication for me to begin taking. After nine months of taking this prescription they refused to approve a renewal unless I had an appointment scheduled. When an in person was not available, the desk clerk offered a video chat appointment instead. When asked what the purpose of a video appointment would be to check blood pressure I was informed that they just had to have an appointment scheduled. After booking an appointment for early the next month and fighting to get a renewal on much needed blood pressure medication, I was only approved an amount of medication that, based on directions, would not even last until my next appointment. I was then refused a prescription renewal until I had my appointment again. This is a medication that was assigned by the Dr and is one that can have damaging effects if one just stops taking cold turkey. It is non- habit forming and essential to heart health. To make a patient jump through hoops like this is illogical and obviously a cash grab for additional appointments. I would not recommend this physician to anyone I know. "

"Doctor Nektarios Demetriou will give you the “used car salesman” treatment. Had to pick a new primary care doctor since mine retired. Went to Demetriou for an annual checkup. Consultation was rushed and lasted only 5 minutes (billed my insurance company for 45min). 2 minutes of the consultation was Demetriou telling me how much he loves his job and how compassionate he is… came off as very fake , I got shady salesman vibes. A general yearly check up with a basic bloodwork panel is preventative care but Demetriou will bill as a “general visit” which your insurance company won’t pay because it’s not billed as “preventive care”. If you ask for a general checkup you’re going to get scammed by Demetriou. I was told by his staff I should have said I wanted a “physical” which would have done the exact same thing but billed to my insurance company as “preventative”, which would have cost me nothing. So now I have a $400 bill for a service I could have got for free elsewhere because of Demetrio’s billing practices. Must be desperate to make a few extra dollars to treat new patients this way. Very disappointed and insulted. Made zero effort to resolve after I raised the issue to his staff. Don’t be fooled that this doctor cares about your wellbeing, he’s only providing a service for the exchange of money, nothing else. "
