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.

Would not recommend
Very unprofessional; poor listener; kept interrupting my concerns about a drug I was on. Wouldn't let me complete my explanation. Ended up leaving.

Fantastic Care
Dr Navarro is great along with his staff. They have created a friendly atmosphere in the office and all go out of their way to help you. Dr Navarro takes his time with you and gets to know the patient in a way that is more than just what the lab reports say. Our Lake Wales family all go to him.

Not a good fit to say the least.
Very strange. My DO is retiring and I was looking for a family doctor. Julie took my history in a few minutes and was very pleasant. Dr. Navarro came in and we chatted for perhaps ten minutes. Every time I began to tell him about my overall health, he would interrupt me and ask, 'How can I help you today?' I'd explain that I was looking for a new doctor. When I began to tell him about my diabetes he interrupted me again and said, 'I don't think that we'd be a good fit.' As stated by other reviewers he seemed uncaring and was totally uninterested in anything that I had to say.

Does not listen
This doctor did not have a good bed side manner as he was very curt and dismissive with me. He only spent 5 minutes with me and I will never go back.

Agenda pushing
Him and his MA worked together to push his agenda on me, lied to have me take what they both said was an “ADHD” screening all to tell me it was actually a Bipolar questionnaire… What was the reason? Also in a nasty and arrogant tone told me how my mental state is why I’m overweight. Being overweight is psychological and all in someone’s head. If they didn’t want to be overweight they wouldn’t be. Said people think they have to eat but they don’t need to eat!

Zero or minus would be a better score. In my 72 years have never experienced such a pompous, uncaring person with a complete lack of respect or basic listening skills. Please don't go to this man.

I took my husband to him today. We were looking for a local Dr. I was so impressed with his personality and his patience listening to us. He spent a lot of time with us. He was with us well over an hour. He spoke to us about my husbands health issues and he told us some of the exact same things our former specialists had told us. He is young and up to date on the most modern technology. We are very pleased and we would HIGHLY recommend him if you are looking for a Dr. He is going to be a real asset to the Lake Wales medical field and a real asset to the hospital as they convert to Advent. I am very excited for the changes to come at the hospital as they bring in new staff. It’s going to be a win win for all. Welcome back to Lake Wales as he was raised here.
