All of the staff members were friendly, attentive, and efficient. The office and exam rooms were clean and well organized. I’m a new patient who recently moved here, and Dr. Winslow spent a good bit of time going over my medical history with me and giving me a physical exam. She was very thorough and competent. I think she spent more time with me than any other physician has in the past. I was impressed and am very glad that I chose her as my new family physician.
Response from the owner: Thank you Lisa!

We have been looking for a family doctor for a long time. When we met Dr. Winslow she was very personable and good with all of my kids. She made us feel comfortable and was very thorough with their wellness checkups. The office was very clean and I love that she is open about her faith and even has scripture on her walls in the waiting room. Feeling very thankful to have her as our family doctor now. A prayer answered!
Response from the owner: Thank you Mallie!

Dr. Winslow and her staff were wonderful. Dr. Winslow spent so much time with me, reviewed my old lab work, asked really thoughtful questions, and is working on a treatment plan for me that is holistic in nature, rather than focused on each individual issue. The staff was courteous and handled a very busy front office with courtesy and efficiency.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words Crystal and trusting us with your care!

My husband and I are relatively new to Florida and have been spending the last year finding new doctors and such. We feel so fortunate to have found Dr Sookra-Winslow at Lifestream Family Medicine. The office is clean and restful, the staff is efficient and friendly and there has never been a time that I've had to wait past my appointment time.Dr. Winslow gives me her full attention when I'm there and I have never felt like just a number. I really appreciate her caring approach and willingness to look beyond prescription medicines to find health solutions.I would recommend this office 100%!!

Highly recommend Dr. Winslow! I went to her with numbness on my arm and hand and pain in my lower back. Her diagnosis was spot on. She gave me great advise and suggested stretches I can do to help release a pinched nerve in my neck. Glad to say, I no longer have those pains. She also said a prayer over me, which I very much appreciated. She's full of knowledge, caring, kind and truly takes her time to listen to her patients. Thank you, Dr. Winslow 😊
Response from the owner: Thank you Raquel!

Relatively new patient, but extremely happy so far. Small operation, which I like. Very efficient staff that takes a personal interest in the patient. Really like Dr. Winslow.

Dr Winslow spends a lot of time with you. She seems to be genuinely concerned about your health and wellness. Most other practices like to pawn there patients off to PA’s.

I’m a patient of Dr. Winslow since 2020. She’s an excellent doctor, knowledgeable and kind, never rushes through an appointment. She takes time to listen to my health concerns, which is very important to me as a patient. The office is super clean and quiet, almost doesn’t feel like a medical clinic. The staff is very friendly. I never had problems with scheduling a short notice appointments. I would drive an extra mile to see Dr. Winslow, and definitely recommend her as a great family doctor!

Update: Dr. Winslow and her team at LifeStream Family Medicine have been fantastic for me. She truly cares for me as a patient and is attentive to me when I see her. She even asked to pray for me during my visit! No doctor has ever done that for me before. I’ve seen her for more than four years now, I think I was one of her first patients. If you’re looking for a new doctor, consider seeing her. Dr. Winslow will take good care of you as she already has for me!Original review: Dr. Winslow is a very kind, attentive to detail, and overall a very caring doctor. Amanda, her nurse, was great as well. They got me in right away for a new patient visit. The office is beautiful and very clean! I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Winslow’s office and if you’re looking for a new doctor in the area I highly suggest you come here!
Response from the owner: Thank you Jeffrey!

FINDING A FAMILY DOCTOR IN LAKEWOOD RANCH FL

Understanding Your Needs

Before you start your search for a family doctor in Lakewood Ranch FL, it’s essential to assess your unique healthcare needs. Consider factors such as your age, any pre-existing medical conditions, and the specific medical services you may require. By understanding your needs, you can narrow down your options and find a doctor who is best suited to provide the care you require.

Qualifications and Credentials

One of the first things you should look for in a family doctor is their qualifications and credentials. Ensure that the doctor is licensed to practice medicine in your state or country. Check their educational background and whether they are board-certified in family medicine. These credentials are a testament to their knowledge and expertise.

Location and Accessibility

The location of your family doctor’s office is crucial, as it can impact how convenient it is to access healthcare services. Consider factors such as proximity to your home or workplace, availability of parking, and public transportation options. Choosing a doctor with a conveniently located office can make it easier to schedule and attend appointments.

Experience and Specializations

Experience matters when it comes to medical care. Inquire about the doctor’s years of practice and whether they have experience in treating patients with conditions similar to yours. Some family doctors may also have specializations or areas of expertise, such as pediatrics or geriatrics. If you have specific healthcare needs, finding a doctor with relevant experience can be beneficial.

Communication and Bedside Manner

Effective communication between you and your family doctor is essential for building trust and receiving quality care. Pay attention to the doctor’s bedside manner during your initial consultation. Are they attentive, empathetic, and willing to listen to your concerns? A doctor who communicates well can make your healthcare journey more comfortable and productive.

Patient Reviews and Recommendations

In the digital age, it’s easier than ever to research potential family doctors. Look for patient reviews and recommendations online to gain insight into the experiences of others. Keep in mind that no doctor is perfect, but consistent positive feedback from patients is a good sign. Conversely, if you find numerous negative reviews, it may be a red flag.

Insurance and Payment Options

Finances play a significant role in healthcare decisions. Check whether the family doctor accepts your health insurance plan. Understanding the billing and payment options available can help you avoid unexpected costs. If you’re uninsured, inquire about the doctor’s fees and whether they offer any payment plans or discounts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

To find a family doctor near you, start by asking for recommendations from friends, family, or your current healthcare providers. You can also use online directories or contact your insurance company for a list of in-network doctors.

For your first appointment, bring your identification, insurance information, and any relevant medical records, such as previous test results or prescriptions. It’s also helpful to prepare a list of questions or concerns you want to discuss.

Yes, you have the right to switch family doctors if you’re not satisfied with the care you’re receiving. It’s important to find a doctor with whom you feel comfortable and confident in their abilities.

The frequency of check-ups can vary based on your age and medical history. In general, adults should have a check-up at least once a year, while children and seniors may require more frequent visits. Consult with your doctor for personalized recommendations.

During your first meeting, you can ask about the doctor’s qualifications, experience, and approach to healthcare. Inquire about their availability, office policies, and how they handle emergencies or after-hours care.

Choosing a family doctor is a significant decision that can impact your overall health and well-being. By considering factors such as your healthcare needs, the doctor’s qualifications, location, and communication style, you can make an informed choice. Additionally, don’t hesitate to seek recommendations and read reviews to ensure you select a family doctor who is the right fit for you. Remember that your health is worth the effort of finding the perfect family doctor who can provide the care and support you deserve. If you are searching google for best family doctor Lakewood Ranch FL or family doctor near me, Look no further then LifeStream Family Medicine.
