Dr. Baria, Kimberly, Luis, Iris and the whole staff at TGH Senior Care provide compassionate complete care for my parents, with multiple chronic conditions. It’s very rare that you will find a medical practice where everything is running smoothly, the office actually calls you back and follows-up and you truly feel like they care. Dr. Baria and team: Thank you for everything you do each and every day!
If you want excellent medical care and a friendly and professional staff, then make an appointment with TGH Senior Center in Brandon, Florida. My experience with the Senior Center has been excellent. Dr. Baria was warm, attentive and made me feel like he cared about my health. The staff is great! Greets you with a smile and moves you efficiently through your visit. I highly recommend TGH Senior Center!
I must say I had the best care ever at Greenbrook Medical. Last week I fractured my arm playing Tennis and I came here and immediately the group saw me and sent me for x-rays. The x-rays came back within two hours and Adrian the office manager worked for hours with my insurance company to get authorization. She made sure that I was well taken care of and an appointment was made with the orthopedics. She gave me her personal number and followed through all the way with me and I was ever so grateful. This team here is an awesome team for not just seniors but for anyone. I never have to wait when I come and I always have a fabulous time. I recommend them highly to anyone who needs a doctor.
Amazing. Dr Novato. Was very patient, spent a lot of time with us and answered all our questions. Very impressed. Highly recommend him.
I had the most enjoyable experience. Lorna and Dr. Berdasco are jewels. This was my first time and I’m so happy. The setting is pleasant and the staff is very professional as well as “for real”.
