Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

1.5 hours past appointment time (usual)
The walls between exam rooms are thin so I can hear conversations between doctor and patient. There is a lot of personal discussions that have nothing to do with medicine. I’ve often listened to that for 45 minutes in a cold exam room while I waited for the ten minutes spent with me. Hardly seems fair.

Best Pulmonologist
Dr. Ahuja is the best doctor I’ve been too. Not only does she make me feel better but she’s the type of doctor that takes her time to listen to you and cares about your concerns. She explains to you the diagnosis and makes sure you understand everything she says. Even her nurse Vira and staff are awesome. Love Dr Ahuja and thankful to have such an awesome and caring pulmonologist.

Waited in public waiting room for over 1hr, no one kept us informed until I started to complain then shoved into a patient room, where we waited for another hr. Going on 2hrs and still no dr.?!!! Staff were unsympathetic and curt, merely stating they were short staffed. Terrible...in times of covid delta variant surging the elderly should not be put thru this!!!

Had my first visit with Dr. Abuja and was very pleased with it. Her staff was very nice and treated me as if I’d been a long standing patient. Dr. Ahuja came in, lowered her mask for a second (COVID) so that I could physically/personally meet her and she asked me to do the same thing so that she could meet me. That was a win win for me. From then on she was very thorough with my condition (pulmonary) and explained in detail her plans of treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Ahuja as a pulmonologist.

The logistics, such as communications with the insurance companies, patients, doctors offices staff, and the doctor are all but non-existent. They used the excuse that the insurance company was dragging their feet, however, upon calling the insurance people, they said the Dr.s office never called for an authorization for the test they ordered. There are other posts about the Orange City office staff, but this was at their Lake Mary location. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Your blood pressure will love it. The functioning of this office is as everyone was new there.
