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.

Dr Clevinger is an excellent doctor. I met him while taking my dad for his appointments, liked how Dr C interacted and listened, helped dad till the end at 97. The office runs great, rarely do they run behind schedule. My appointments are always within 5~10 minutes. The ladies are always nice, they are easy to talk with and work with me to schedule future visits. Paula, Lulu and Elizabeth make checking in and out easy. Overall, I continue to be happy with Dr C, his staff and the way this location is run. I feel I get excellent health care here. Lastly, they are grateful when I use the Patient Portal. Questions are frequently answered within several minutes and requests are handled promptly. Their usage of the Patient Portal should be how others offices run theirs. So, I guess you could say I’m a happy patient for over 20 years

Siver Springs office. Unprofessional rude & dirty
Would not recommend this office! Never once met Dr. Sydney Clevinger! I don't think he has ever been there! His nurse practitioner is the rudest person and does not listen to your concerns! I am a cancer survivor and deaf. I wear hearing aids, I am soft spoken. I was there getting my refill for my inhaler and a refill for my headache medicine. She was telling me about other types of medication for my headaches and she wanted to change it. I politely said no thank you I just want to stay on what I have. She did not like that I said no to her! She then yelled real loud making a scene yelling at me saying 'don't speak over me' I said I am not speaking over you nor was I yelling especially with hearing aids on that would hurt with the feed back from them so I know I never yelled at her or spoke over her. She then screamed in the hallway that I was never allowed back making me feel like I was a drug addicted person looking for drugs. I was so embarrassed. No professionalism. Dirty place.

Dr Clevinger has been my PCP for 20+ years - the office staff can always find a time that works for me if I need to come in. He's very personable and remembers my health issues so I don't have to repeat my whole history each time I come in (which is at most 2x/year). The last few times in the office I have been in and out in record time - I no longer work in the Ocala area, but still go out of my way to visit this location because of the history I have with this office.

Dr. Clevinger is knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. He is the a caring physician who has hired a support staff who share his attributes. A visit to see Dr. Clevinger is as pleasant as a visit to a doctor can be. I have been a patient of Dr. Clevinger for many years and will continue to see him as long as he is available.

I had my semi Amal appointment last week. I did not have to wait long at all. As always Dr Clevinger was very thorough and accomplished getting my generic for Pristiq. I was having a difficult time with my insurance company. Sid is a great doctor.
