Manatee Gynecology

I had an exceptional experience!! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and friendly staff who made me feel comfortable right away. The environment is absolutely beautiful and so calming—it really helps put you at ease. Every step of the visit was smooth and professional. I couldnt be more impressed with the level of care and attention I received. Highly recommend!!!

I normally see Sammie when I come in and she is awesome, very easy to talk to about anything, she very kind and caring. Her personality makes the appointment more comfortable.I have also seen Kaleigh, my appointments with her are easy and comfortable. Kaleigh and Sammie have the same attributes and are just great. The two of them are definitely in the right profession with their kindness and caring and warm personalities.Really the whole staff are very pleasant and Kind. Definitely would recommend anyone in that office.

I LOVE almost everyone I interact with in this office- incredible! The only thing holding me back from 5 stars is the amount of wait time I experience EVERY time I go to the office. I easily wait a minimum of 25 minutes past my appointment (sometimes 45 minutes) before I’m seen. Today was the first time I’ve ever said anything (as kindly as I could). I really think this office would benefit from adjusting the amount of time between appointments.

I have been very impressed with this practice. Very professional, friendly and caring. I went in, knowing that it had been a few years since my last visit (another practice) and was treated well, given a full examination. Also knowing that there was a problem, I was scheduled for a second opinion/confirmation, and a surgery within 3 weeks of that visit. While still in my recovery period, my Mammogram had already been scheduled. My technician was very gentle (perfect since I wasnt feeling top notch). I arrived early, she took me in early and we were finished quickly. It is great having all of the equipment in the same building--makes for a much more efficient visit. No more scheduling at an off-site lab. The staff is very accommodating, scheduling is easy. There is a patient portal with a wealth of information about your care. The building is clean, the rooms are welcoming. Insurance billing is taken care of (at least via my insurance carrier). They go the extra mile, offering a VasoScan test--free to you. I had no idea what it was, but the results are clear and easy to comprehend.The female staff makes this type visit a bit less stressful, but after having been referred to, seen and surgically repaired by, Dr. Biggs (the only male doctor on staff), Im very happy with ALL of the staff. Theyve made me feel comfortable and that says a lot about the caring nature of this practice.

Ive always had a good experience at this office but it was even better yesterday! Everyone is so polite and professional . I dread going to the Dr sometimes because you know your going to wait ... Ive actually waited over an hour at other places but never here! They take the time to talk to you and explain everything to you. I love that ! I would definitely recommend any of my family or friends. Thank you for always making me feel like my concerns are important! Melissa Hamilton

Every visit at the office is a good experience. From check in to my exam by Sammi everything runs smoothly and I always feel so comfortable. I just adore Sammi. She is so professional and friendly. And the nurse/PA? Who took my history and vitals was awesome. She actually takes blood pressure correctly! I’m constantly having to remind my primary doctors nurses my arm should not be dangling down during the measure. If you are looking for a great women’s practice I can’t recommend this office enough!

Front desk staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Minimal wait to see my provider that day, Felicia Montenez, Nurse Practitioner. Again, knowledgeable, thorough and pleasant. Then on to my mammography appointment (efficiently scheduled immediately after my annual check) with Kathy. Efficient, pleasant, explained everything and had me done and out quickly. A very good experience.

Love everyone here. The desk, the aides, doctors, X-ray technician....they take very good care of you. Im from Massachusetts and moved down here 3 years ago. I find this office matches the quality care I received up north;)

Ive been a patient with Manatee Gynecology since I was 21 years old. My mom was a long time patient too. Now my young adult daughter whos 21 years old is a patient now. I very much recommend Manatee Gynecology to all women. They are truly the very best! ❤️👍

I was referred by a friend. I have always been reluctant with Dr. Offices and procedures, however, as I’m getting older the changes are scary. I was very happy with my experience. The atmosphere is calm & welcoming my PA was thorough and listened to me. I just completed my Mammogram this morning 🤗🤪Next door is even a woman’s wellness center for cosmetic procedures & weight loss! 💥It is a win win ..

This is the first experience I’ve had with an OBGYN office where staff know what to do about my pain instead of dismissing it. I was in shock after my first appointment when my pain was not only noticed, but treated as something my provider genuinely cared to address. For the first time since I turned 18 I actually feel like I have a medical team who listens to me and wants to improve my quality of life. I cannot recommend this practice and it’s team enough.

Sammie is seriously the best! She genuinely cares which I feel like is rare anymore. She wants to know YOU and looks at your comprehensive health not just your numbers. She has helped me so much in my journey with PCOS; so much so that I am now pregnant! She has given me more insight on my health than any other medical professional I have ever encountered. Outside of Sammy the other staff in the office is just as kind, considerate, and helpful. I am beyond thankful to have their office close by!

Dr Pandescio always takes so much time to listen and then is so comforting and explains everything she does. The communication at this office is wonderful. Thank you!

Sarah Billman (Sammy) and Kylie Ameres are the best! The ladies in the office are so welcoming and makes you feel like family. Everyone in office is so kind and easy to talk to.

Sammie, PA has been professional and excellent at answering my questions. Dr. Desai has a great team. The front desk staff have a busy job; however; some improved customer service skills may be needed.

Dr. Desai, Sammy and the whole team there are wonderful :) Theyre always very nice to me when I go for my appointments. Dr. Desai is an excellent gynecologist, the best one Ive ever had ^^ She takes time to really listen to your needs and concerns, same with Sammy :) God bless you and thank you for always helping your patients ❤️🙏

Great experience today. The facility is beautiful, efficient and clean. The front office staff (I’m sorry I dont remember your name), Shelby and Sammie were all great!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I saw the PA Sammie. She was great at listening, told me all of my options and had the sweetest bedside manner. I will definitely go back!!

I love this practice and have recommended them to friends and family. Sammy is great! They always make me feel so comfortable.

Dr. Pandiscio has created an amazing environment at Manatee Gynecology. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Such a great experience.

NP Felicia was professional, knowledgeable and comforting. It’s a wonderful practice focused on women. It’s great that you can get your mammogram done on property along with your annual exam. I highly recommend.

I feel very comfortable at this office. I had an ultrasound there and Vernicia was my tech. She is a gem! She explained everything to me and answered all my questions. She has a great personality and was very gentle.

EXCELLENCE!! The Doctors & entire Staff are welcoming, friendly, helpful, thorough and respectful! The most comfortable experience from 1st visit to procedure to post-op! They are ALWAYS available to accommodate!💗

The staff is amazing and So caring they really listen to your concerns. After doctor Liebert left I was very nervous because I had been going to her for so many years but I have not been let down. I saw Kaleigh Braden DNP, APRN, FNP-BC she was so sweet, kind and funny. I feel very comfortable there and would highly recommend them.

Great care and service. Really liked Kaleigh, very kind, patient and took her time to go over things. Front staff were really busy, but we’re also very kind. So happy to be at MG

I enjoyed my first experience here as a patient but now that Im pregnant I have to seek care elseware because they do not do labor and delivery. I was called with my lab work results and they asked who I was seeing at Sarasota Memorial so they could send over my records. Sarasota Memorial has called me twice already requesting my records ahead of my appointment but Manatee Gynecology will not release me records or send me a DocuSign or offer any other way for me to have my records forwarded other than me driving 45 minutes there to sign a paper in person or calling Sarasota Memorial for a third time to ask them to send Manatee a Continuity of Care form which I dont believe they even have. Wish I could just be forwarded a document or DocuSign to have my records sent to my new facility instead of calling both facilities multiple times to get to work together.

Thought Id share my experience today...I have been a patient at Manatee Gynecology since 2018. Last year, they discharged me from their practice because I did not have a follow up breast ultrasound on time. I do not have a significant breast history (no history of cancer, no family history), and I get studies done every 3 years. Ive had cystic breasts for 35+ years and I always require both a mammogram and ultrasound together. My cysts come and go, and fibrocystic breasts disease is a benign condition. I am a compliant patient but I was going through a horrific divorce and looking for employment at the same time, and my breast follow-up took a back seat. I did call administration twice to fight the decision and never heard back from them. Today, I went to Manatee Gynecology for a pelvic problem and they REFUSED CARE. I was on the table undressed with a drape over my lap when they refused care. The woman told me its because I didnt have my tests on time. Here are my thoughts: 1) I have been an Internal Medicine Physician Assistant since 1997, and I know that mammograms and ultrasounds have been over-utilized. Recent data shows outcomes dont improve with annual mammograms, and may in fact cause harm. The recommendations surrounding mammograms are highly controversial (globally), and are being revisited. Also, to state the obvious, its MY body, and I should be able to make my own choice regarding testing, and how much ionizing radiation exposure I receive. See studies below! I also understand the financial incentive to push testing; medicine is a business. 2) I wouldve expected more leniency given that I was an overwhelmed female going through a divorce. The leadership at Manatee Gynecology is objectively NOT supportive. 3) In this setting, they should NOT have refused care. My problem was not related to the breast, and I offered (in the room) to schedule whatever tests were overdue.I walked out of the office today without receiving care, horrified and embarrassed....Medical practices should maintain humility when testing. The medical community is always modifying recommendations. Its looking like the mammography recommendations might change again based on recent global research. Manatee Gynecology took an authoritarian approach towards me, a patient with no disease... and then they denied care when I had an acute problem... a big no-no in medicine. No good medical practice denies care to their established patient, period.Ann Intern Med. 2023 Sept;176(9):1172-1180 [doi: 10.7326/M23-0133.

Sarah Billings is a wonderful medical provider. The entire staff at Manatee Gynecology is competent, friendly and welcoming. This is a GYN clinic with mammography and several other specialties to assist women’s health.

So thankful for the staff. Very caring and thoughtful. Takes time to answer questions. Hard to find an office that shows concern for their patients.Sammie and Kaleigh and Dr.P are the best.

Very caring and exceptional staff. Always have my best interest put first. Sammie and desai are exceptional doctors and Meghan at the front desk is always there to help. Marissa in scheduling is always on top of things.

Love the staff. Always friendly and accommodating. Kaleigh Braden, Dr of Nursing Practice is awesome. She spends time with you and any concerns you may have. Highly recommend Manatee Gynecology.

Sammie makes the not so pleasant thing very tolerable. She is a professional and so sweet! Highly recommend!

I had surgery performed by both Dr. Pandiscio and Dr Desi. They are both very personable, professional, encouraging and confident in their work. They always have a smile for you. Nothing has changed about them since working with them many years ago. Only their age has changed and they still look like they did back then. Love me some Mnatee Gyn. Id recommend them to the world!

Great team. They are very kind and compassionate. I’ve been a patient for more than 25 years. The care you receive is superior.

Ive been to other gynecologists, Felicia was the kindest and treated me like a family member. She was awesome. Cant wait for my next appointment.

I always feel so taken care of when I am there. They make me comfortable and safe and the staff is super nice. Very clean and tidy aswell!

Reception area is very welcoming. Front desk staff is professional and prompt. I was there for a mammogram and the tech was thorough, gentle and patient. Would highly recommend.

Staff are so friendly, personable, and professional every time I go in! I look forward to my appointments at this facility.Karen Anderson

Manatee Gynecology and their staff are amazing. I have been going to them for 28 years. Dr. Liebert delivered 3 of my daughters and the oldest one is almost 27. I currently see Dr. Desai and Joyce Kepto since Dr. Liebert retired several years ago. They are both wonderful.

This is Tom’s wife Kathy. I love the doctors and assistants, but the front desk needs to be more attentive to the patients waiting. Today I was there for an hour and a half for a bone density test . I was scheduled for a meeting with the PA afterwards , but I had to walk out because I was going to be late for my next appt. The screening only took 3 minutes!

Friendly professional staff. Greeted warmly. The mammogram was explained thoroughly. Very clean environment. Wonderful staff!

Everyone is very friendly. I was seen very close to my appointment time. I will definitely recommend Manatee Gynecology to other people.

My appointment went very smoothly. Dr. Pandiscio always takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly.

Dr. Pandiscio has been my doctor for many years, and is easy to talk with and is extremely knowledgeable. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and efficient.

My PA, Kylie was absolutely fantastic. Very kind and thorough and makes you feel really listened to. The office is very modern and clean and the receptionists are super sweet. I can genuinely say that my exam experience was pleasant and Ive NEVER said that about a gynecologist in the past!Unfortunately after a recent experience with Dr. Biggs, I need to drop this practice down to a one star. I was referred to him after requesting sterilization due to a number of very valid reasons. Dr. Biggs was incredibly misogynistic and condescending and ultimately refused my request. I was told that I may meet Mr. Right and one day want children. Not that an imaginary man should even be relevant in my medical decisions, but Dr. Biggs made a big assumption because Ive been in a long term relationship with a childfree partner who supports my bodily autonomy. Dr. Biggs cited a bogus regret rate statistic without providing any source nor giving any willingness to see me as a human being and not just a statistic. This provider has no business practicing in womens health.Dr. Pandisico reached out to me following my recent experience and was so wonderful. She validated my feelings and didnt try to push her moral philosophy onto my healthcare. I have chosen to give this practice a 3- star, because Dr. Biggs remains on staff. Even if you have to wait awhile, see Dr. Pandisico or Dr. Desai or any of the lovely NPs or PAs.

Choosing Manatee Gynecology (MG) for my gynecological care has been one of the best decisions Ive made for my health and well-being. One of the standout features that drew me in initially was the convenience of in-office testing, eliminating the hassle of referrals. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also ensures comprehensive care under one roof.What truly sets MG apart is their holistic approach to womens health. Beyond the standard well-woman exams, they offer a wide range of services, including bone density tests, ultrasounds, high-definition mammograms, weight management, and a rejuvenating spa experience. As someone with a complex medical history requiring frequent mammograms, I find immense comfort in knowing that MG utilizes state-of-the-art technology like the Selenia Dimensions 3-D imaging device for early detection.The facility itself is top-notch, seamlessly blending the clinical setting with a soothing spa atmosphere next door. The staff members are always friendly, knowledgeable, and go above and beyond to assist patients. My doctors, Dr. Desai and Sammie, have been a beacon of compassion and expertise. She not only conducts thorough exams but also takes the time to educate and empower me regarding my health journey.One aspect that truly impressed me was the level of follow-up care I received, even during times when I was out of state. Despite her busy patient load, she and her team consistently reached out to ensure continuity of care, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to patient well-being.In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend MG and Dr. Desai to any woman seeking comprehensive, compassionate, and personalized gynecological care. My journey with them has been nothing short of exceptional, and I am grateful to have found such a remarkable healthcare provider.

The staff was very caring, Listened to my concerns, The front desk short staffed but the associate was still very pleasant despite being alone to check out patients, and answers the phones..in my opinion other patients need to be more patient with the staff.. Its not their fault if they are short handed.. The staff is doing the best they can with what they have.. Bravo to those that were working today

I was patient from 2008-2019. While I was there I saw a variety of doctors and nurses that treated me - 90% were wonderful. But even during my tenure it started to take longer nd longer for my call to be answered and in the office- even with an appointment I would wait from 30 - 90 minutes to be seen.The doctors are great don’t get me wrong. I was always happy with my physician.However, for the last month I’ve tried to come back. I called and left a voicemail in the beginning of March and played phone tag for a week (I left 1 voicemail, and called 3 times they left 2 voicemails). Since then no one has called me back and I can’t even get through now. I’ve used different extensions, I’ve called at different times of the day but I always give up at 15 minutes of being on hold.If you can get in and reach someone it’s great. Otherwise 🤷‍♀️

Great Doctor & staff! The pre/post surgery nurse super sweet! I asked for medication that was much needed & Dr Biggs listened to me! I recommend this place 100%.

My experience this year was absolutely wonderful! Sammie is fantastic and the entire team was friendly, professional and so accommodating!! Very pleased with my visit!

I’ve been at this practice for years. The only group that listened to my problems and took the time fix them. Very grateful for this group. Supportive, caring and very professional.

If you are looking for a gynecologist in the Bradenton/ Saint Petersburg area, do not hesitate to schedule an appointment at Manatee Gynecology in Bradenton. This office is filled with doctors & nurse practitioners that truly care about you & want to help. I am in my late twenties & have had a painful vagina issue for over 3 years now. I have seen a countless number of gynecologists & even a vulvar specialist, hoping to diagnose my condition. I have always been dismissed, taken the same standard STD tests over & over again and given no real answers/treatment plans - which has been extremely costly, time consuming & frustrating. It wasn’t until I moved to Florida & discovered Manatee Gynecology last August, that I have finally started receiving some actual answers & helpful treatment plans. I have seen both Linda O’Gara & Dr. Desai, both have been absolutely amazing at finding answers. I have been seeing Dr. Desai for the last 6ish months & I cannot thank her enough for her care and thorough job at continuing to dive deeper/pull back layers to find out where my pain is coming from. She is extremely knowledgeable of the woman’s body, patient, thorough, kind & does not rush your appointment - she will answer all your questions in details. This is the first time in 3 years that I finally feel like I’m getting answers & solutions to my painful female issues, plus starting to see progress. I could not speak more highly of Dr. Desai, Manatee Gynecology and the care I have received. I even drive 45 minutes+ because the care is 5 stars!

Kaleigh and Sammie are fabulous NP’s - knowledgeable, caring, patient and efficient. I’ve made so much progress on my issues in three short months where my former practice highly recommended surgery. Kudos for these NP’s listening and helping with true interest.

Outstanding experience! Wish I would’ve come to this practice instead of going to first physicians, and being disappointed for the last five years. I thought I liked the doctor. I thought I liked the experience until starting with Manatee Gynocology. The practice is progressive, Patient centric and most important welcoming! Sammy you are fantastic! You made me feel so comfortable with the questions I had - so a million thanks!

I cant say enough good things about Manatee Gynecology. It was my first vist and to say that it was the first time I actually felt seen and heard by a facility, would be understating my experience. From the moment I stepped inside to the moment I left they were amazingly attentive. This dr is almost an hour away from my home and worth every minute of the drive. Sammie, was incredible, accommodating and super informative. She made me feel like there was options... especially since I am over 50 and dealing with the Big M! The receptionist was incredible as well, unfortunately I didnt get her name but she was a Rockstar!

Absolutely- loved my visit today! Met with knowledge, compassion and hope for the future. I would highly recommend Sammie Billman, ARN- I waited several months to get in but in the end I was more than pleased with my care.

Fantastically friendly, professional staff. No long waiting.,Fast results with candid conversations about any course of treement. Best woman’s facility,

Kayleigh and her staff have been extremely caring and personable with each visit I’ve had. Kayleigh is so knowledgeable, relatable and puts me at ease the moment she walks in the room. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and answers all my questions, which is difficult to find with many practitioners these days. I highly recommend her for all your women’s health needs.

The friendly, caring staff make even the more uncomfortable procedures pleasant. Feel like a receive the best possible care.

I had the best experience you can have -they are all so nice, kind and professional!!

Dr. Montanez and staff are so caring and attentive to any questions I had. I haven’t found such a great OBGYN in a long time! Definitely recommended!

Manatee Gynecology provides a peaceful, spa-like setting that assuages apprehensions surrounding such personal matters. I appreciate the professionalism from their staff, and the cloth robes make all the difference in preserving our dignity throughout the experience.

I am a long time patient of Manatee Gynecology. Today, I saw Sammie Billman for the first time. She was absolutely amazing! Very thorough and knowledgeable.

Been a client for close to 20 years. Will miss Dr Pandisco, but wish her well on her retirement.

The staff is friendly and caring! They take the time to know the patient and listen to concerns. Drs and PAs are all knowledgeable and calmly answer questions. They are the best!!!

I appreciate the care I receive and feel Dr Pandiscio and staff are looking out for me!!They are very supportive and helpful!

Sammie Billman saw me for my annual visit, she was exceptionally kind, friendly, professional, and made everything painless! I would very much recommend her and her nurse! :)

Very friendly staff and treating me with my issue with the utmost care. I feel very safe and know I’m receiving the right treatment.

I REALLY SUPER like my doctor sammy!! Shes got such a Happy personality!! I can ONLY say Good things about her an the practice!!!!

Everyone is so professional and nice! I really feel heard when I go for my appointments.

Always a positive experience. Sammy is wonderful. I’ve never been steered wrong by her suggestions or her expertise. Always a pleasure to work with. Well run facility.

Best ultrasound tech I have ever had! Took her time was very kind and knowledgeable

Best gynecology ever. Everyone is very friendly Also Dr. Pandisco is the best I will miss her.

Everyone is so nice they make you feel at ease no stress 😁 And I also love that their all women made me feel very comfortable I highly recommend them 👍

Kind, Caring, Cheerful Staff! I drive over 45 minutes even though I moved. That should tell anyone they are worth it!

I have been a patient here for 20+yrs. With in those 20years I have seen LOTS of changes some for the good and some for the bad. All in all I am Very happy with my experience with Dr Desai and her team office.

The staff is knowledgeable, professional and nice. Appointments are kept on time. My questions are always answered. I highly recommend!!

Caring very good listeners for all kinds of female issues. The best care I have ever received compared to 3 other states I have lived in.

Not my favorite day of the year but everyone is so nice and they make it a easy day. One stop gyno/mamo at the same place.😎🤙

They are so kind and honest. They help you to relax! I mean why not? There all women and know exactly what you’re talking about and feeling!! My health concerns were resolved the first visit!!

I think Sammy provides the best gynecology care I have ever received and I really enjoy her demeanor.

It is a great place. To have your needs met. The ladies are very nice. ❤️

I have been a patient with this office for a long time and everyone there is friendly so nice and very professional!!

I’ve been a patient with manatee gynecology for 32 years. Always kind, professional and consistently on top of their game. Highly recommend.

Everyone is excellent, both professionally and humanely. The best staff ever! I just love Dr Dessie and NP Sammi!Thank you everyone!!❤️❤️

Sammie and her new nurse are just wonderful! Very thorough, good bedside manners, and very comforting! My Mom came with me to a visit and now she will be seeing Sammie, too!

I wish I could give more than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because everyone there is professional and so friendly! I only wish I started going there and seeing Kylie Ameres the PA sooner!

Best visit I’ve had in years. The nurse and practitioner were great!

I can get everything done at one stop. Exam, bone denisity , mammogram, u/s and hormones if needed. Love this place.

I had an amazing experience with Kaleigh, Karen, and all the other staff members! This is truly the best gyno experience I’ve had in years and years!

The staff was incredibly proactive and easy to communicate with. Sammie provided incredible insight to womens health. 5 stars all the way through.

Ive been going here for decades. Highly recommend

Very thorough. They take their time with you. Offer many extra services. Also, super friendly!

I love this place! The reception you get when you walk in is warm and friendly. The nursing staff are very professional and yet light hearted. Kind of makes you feel like a family member. My doctor (Marion Pandiscio) is the absolute best I’ve ever had! She explains things, very thoroughly, every step of the way! They even follow up when they say they will. I wish all my doctor experiences were this smooth. I drive a long way to get here, and it is well worth it!

Excellent place. Staff is very courteous and goes out of their way to assist you. Dr. Desai is a wonderful doctor. I recently had a major problem and she stayed on top of it until it was resolved. And, she personally called me at home to let me know the outcome. I have been seeing her for years and would not go to anyone else. I highly recommend her.

The clinicians are amazing and are great at making you feel comfortable. However, the wait time to receive services was extremely long.

They some amazing providers: Sammie is a wonderful NP. The mammographer and ultrasound technician are so good at their jobs it’s unbelievable. They create a comfortable environment and help resolve fear. It was truly wonderful to do a mammogram without any pain at all.They are just gynecologists, not OB’s so if you’ve experienced miscarriage and would feel uncomfortable in a waiting room of pregnant people, this place is amazing. They have created a really psychologically safe place and practice trauma-informed medicine.The office is absolutely beautiful too. The robes in the ultrasound and mammogram rooms were so comfy. It truly feels like a spa.

Such a professional, nice and well run providers office. Always timely as well.

Very nice customer service and the Mamogram lady is very good.

I went to this place this morning and got to see NP Kaleigh Braden. She was awesome, she was really kind, attentive and thorough. I’ve seen three different gynecologists since I came to this country and for the first time I felt heard, understood and that someone was actually trying to help me, I’m grateful for my encounter with her. I still have a long way to go with my condition, but I’m hopeful I’ll find the answers Ive been looking for in this place.

Psst it’s the best kept secret Bradington area I wouldn’t travel from Michigan if it wasn’t

They’re always great there and on time!

All personnel were courteous and professional.. My appointment took a minimum amount of time but never hurried.

Timely, professional, and wonderful kind staff. Dr Biggs is the best. Very thorough and very knowledgeable.

Both techs(mammo and ultrasound) were absolutely fabulous!Thank you!

Facility is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. Sammie is the best!!

It took a while to find a good gynecologist but I finally did! I drive 3 hours each way to see Dr. Desai. She is patient, thoughtful, and thorough. She works to get to the root of a problem and always has my very best interest at heart! Her newest nurse practitioner, Sammie, has the best bed-side manner and is super knowledgeable and understanding. The office is beautiful, clean, and the support staff is friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this practice!

Excellent care, very nice staff.Made ne feel very comfortable.

Sam was great as was the lady who did my Mammogram.

Everyone was super nice. Everything was explained where I could understand.

Friendly, very precise, caring! Love this place and staff

I have been a patient for over 10 years. I was out of the country and did not received the information that they no longer offer a specific service. I returned 1.5 weeks before my schedule appointment and received an automated reminder 2 days prior to the appointment. When I showed up for my appointment is when I learned the service was no longer offered and could not be seen. It baffles me that a business relies on the automated service to relay incorrect information to the patient.

Always a great and thorough experience at this location. I really appreciate the care I have received here over the years.

Dr Desai is one of the very best female doctor any woman could ever ask for! She makes you feel as though no one else is more important than me!! The office staff and nurses are fantastic, I never have trouble getting an appointment. Thank you for caring and being the smartest for women’s health issues.

Staff is always helpful and polite to patients. Great mammogram tech !

I have been going to this practice for over 25 years & have always had wonderful care. Everyone has always been polite & I never wait very long to be seen. The Drs. are great! In cannot say enough good things about them. I definitely recommend this practice to everyone.

Very professional and caring staff.Always takes time to go over results, procedures everything.Would definitely recommend.

Everytime you call in to this office you are asked to hold, it ends up being 30 mins and still no one ever picks up again. All I am trying to to is cancel my appointment and I cannot even do that.

I have been going to this office for years, everyones is very helpful. Dr. Desai & Sarah Billman are great.

From the minute you walk in the door the entire staff is friendly, caring, thorough, efficient- everyone is a true professional.

As you enter the premises you are greeted warmly by the personnel seated at the receptionist a

Sammie was incredibly sweet and caring. Would highly recommend this practice.

So grateful to have found this clinic! I see nurse practitioner Linda - she’s fabulous. They are women taking care of women. It can be very scary when something goes wrong in your delicate nether regions. Manatee Gynocology feels very caring, comfortable and nurturing from making an appointment to seeing any of your practitioners. I appreciate them so much. Thank you for being there.

Always a great experience at Manatee Gynecology! Friendly and professional.Sammie and Shelby are great!

If you’re looking for an office that cares about your needs, look no further. After having some recurring issues that needed further care, I was reassured that they would get to the bottom of it, and they did. From the doctor (Dr. Desai) to nurses and technicians (Sammie and Veronique) these ladies are top notch. The office is beautiful and clean and everyone you interact with goes above and beyond. I highly recommend!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Desai for 6 years. She consistently provides exceptional care & is always responsive- promptly replying to me & squeezing me in when necessary. I love that she stays current on all medical issues & is willing to discuss & consider alternatives.

Dr. Desai is the best out there. She is attentive and compassionate, spending the time to listen to concerns and create a plan of action. Its the first time Ive felt heard as a patient and left the office feeling as though I have someone on my team looking out for my best interests regarding my health care. I highly recommend her for any GYN needs- excellent doesnt even begin to cover it.This office also has Well Within aesthetic offerings, which create a one stop shop of feel good. The ladies of Well Within are detail-oriented, addressed my concerns, and made sure my Botox results were satisfactory. Prices are competitive and the service was quick & painless!

Attentive and proactive medical staff. Timely and professional office staff.

Although taking awhile to get through all my appointments today, turned out well

Fraudulently charged me double for a procedure, said that they submitted a form to get me a refund and I’ve still never gotten a refund. Do not pay them, they will take payments meant for the hospital and then constantly lie to you. They finally told the truth when I told them to call my insurance but still refuse to refund the $250 they owe me. Awful place, they treat their patients terribly. They also tried to pressure me to continue to take hormonal birth control even after the stuff they gave me made me sick and suicidal.

Staff professional and friendly. Appointment on time. Complete explanation and questions answered.

All staff members are respectful, helpful, and pleasant. Dr. Pandiscio is outstanding.

They have always been friendly, timely and professional.

This is probably the most knowledgeable facility in the state of Florida. Amazing doctors , amazing nurses and a fantastic breast health crew however their front desk and few assistant nurses with cause this business to fail because they are rude and completely incompetent and unprofessional.I just did a mammogram and ultrasound then I get a phone call from a nurse practitioner, trying to give me my PAP results from June of 2022 and she was clueless what tests I had done on the 6th.Also, any radiology related result according to the nurse, takes two weeks or more to retrieve, which is completely unacceptable.If I was a professional, at this practice, I would take a hard look into my staff because the front desk makes or breaks the business.

The whole office staff is fabulous and Sammie Billman is a great doctor!!

I gave two stars as the front desk staff were always nice, even when they were very busy. The office is clean too. I had concerns with my reproductive health. I had told the nurse (I didnt know was a nurse and not a doctor.) that the last place I was going to ignored my concerns and said I was fine. I felt like I was talked to like a child and all my concerns were brushed off. After begging for months for bloodwork and an ultrasound they finally did it. They said everything was normal, but didnt go over the paperwork at all.Being told that Im fine and everything happening to me is normal really did not help my concerns and made me more stressed out. I had even made a spreadsheet at home documenting everything and another document for them to look at and she said she did not need to see them. I asked to see a different doctor as I wanted a second opinion and I still got the feeling like I was being rushed and ignored.I finally stopped going to them and switched to a different doctor (an actual one) that listens to my concerns, looked at the papers I brought in, and fully explained everything happening to me. This place did not acknowledge that I had an actual medical problem. I wouldnt go here unless you absolutely had no other choice.

I stopped going here after several years. Every time I went I had a different doctor or nurse as the ones I had were always leaving. I never knew who I was seeing and it always felt very impersonal.Then when I had an issue they misdiagnosed me by rushing through my appointment and just assuming they knew what was wrong, which caused me a lot of stress and anxiety. My new doctor actually blood tested me and it turns out the doctor at Manatee Gynecology was wrong. Now I don’t even know what the actual issue was.

Had an appointment at 4:20 February 5 I was the only one left in the waiting room and nobody ever came and got me or acknowledged me. I asked several times what was going on. I finally walked out at 5:15 without having a mammogram which I had to reschedule for another Institute to perform.

Extremely kind, professional, short wait time, informative, & superb care ! Strongly recommend!

I am very thankful that I found this office. They have been helping me tremendously. Dr. Desai, Amanda, and Neicha are the best. They make you feel safe, heard, and welcomed!

Everybody here is so unbelievably nice. I was deathly afraid of going for an annual exam and avoided it for years. The nurses and physicians here make you feel completely at ease and respect your reproductive decisions. It was the first time I ever felt seen and heard in a medical setting. Their portal is also super convenient. If youre looking for an OBGYN in the Bradenton area, look no further!

I’ve been a long time patient and just love Dr Pandiscio. She is always patient, listens and goes over everything with you. She is a wonderful Dr. I highly recommend her. She’s also a dog lover. You can’t go wrong with her!

Dr Pandiscio & Dr Big are kind, listens, and explains everything. Nurses are wonderful. Even office help nice to work with. Highly recommend!! 10 out of 10!!

Highly recommend Dr. Zolnoun. She has a wonderful bedside manner and put me at ease straight away during my first appointment. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in her field, she really cares about helping her patients and takes time to listen and answer questions. I feel lucky to have met her.

Sammi listened to me & addressed my concerns. She took care of me with TLC.

I LEFT BEFORE THE EXAM EVEN BEGAN LAURA WAS SO RUDE. The desk ladies were nice along with the woman that came in before Laura. But let me tell you, Laura is AWFUL. She had all kinds of attitude, she rolls her eyes, and has all kinds of sass. She wouldn’t let me speak or ask any questions. If I did ask a question she got attitude and was not willing to answer it in a decent manner. How she got this far I could not tell you, she must’ve missed the classes on how to treat a patient though. I 100% would not recommend her, I can’t speak for the other people in the office as I did not deal with them. She also felt the need to stand outside of my door and whisper to a co-worker about it instead of going to a private area or not doing it at all. Oh also apparently Cysts can’t cause pain unless they’re massive. There’s nooo way I could be in pain due to the cyst I have... even though I was at the ER 6:50 this morning due to the pain... from the cyst. IF this is how the rest of the staff is it’s no wonder why they were able to get me in same day so fast!

Short wait time, friendly knowledgeable staff and clean welcoming office.

Doctors are great, service is fantastic, I am always taken back on time for my appointments. Staff is extremely professional but caring. Love being able to get my mammograms in the office. Highly recommend this office.

Ive been a client of Manatee Gynecology for many years. Every time Ive gone the doctors and nurse practicioners are on time and provide excellent care. The front staff are friendly and responsive. I always recommend this physicians office to my friends when it comes up.

I have never waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting room. I go to Dr. Pandiscio and she is amazing, as well as her assistant, Maria (hope I got that right). Usually I will see the nurse practitioner, Stephanie. I adore her. Melissa in scheduling is so nice and helpful. They are all great and the place is always super clean.

I’ve been a patient of Manatee Gynecology since 1994, I’m 53 and had Dr. Liebert until she retired (😢) she was fantastic, the best and I never thought I would have another Dr. I could love as much as her… But, I lucked out a 100% and got the best replacement, Dr. Desai.She is just as wonderful, helpful and competent as Dr. Liebert, I alway feel safe, well taken care of and understood. She does everything to solve what ever problem I might have ( in regards to my health, haha) and I always walk out of their office “tall” and confident…Thank you all @ Manatee Gynecology for being so professional and for always making me smile 😊

The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. I love how you can get everything done in one place

Staff very friendly very clean place and finally my issue was resolved after suffering for so many years thanks

Great service, in and out! I’m super happy to have found Manatee Gynecology.

I was concened when Dr. Karen Liebert retired from here. She was by far the kindest, most compassionate doctor Ive ever seen. Dr Pandiscio is, thankfully, cut from the same cloth. In fact, over the past 15 or so years I have met few people at this office there werent top notch.

Ive been going to Manatee Gynecology for many many years now. Normally, Dr. Pandiscio is who I see but as life gets busy, I went 5 years without going and had to be reestablished as a patient and unfortunately Dr. Pandiscio was not taking new patients so I was set up with Nurse Practioner Sammie Billman. She is awesome!!! Quick, efficient, personable and addressed all my concerns and issues with care and understanding. I will not go another 5 years between exams. Love Sammie Billman and love Manatee Gynecology!!!!

Paula said i am banned as I left a bad review!! Unbelievable. Worst place in the area. Well the NP Linda is prescribing meds and has no idea what she is doing. When dr pandiscio asked me who had prescribed the meds, I said Linda. This was after a serious med issue. Also, they treat you like Cattle and pushing the Mona Lisa touch. Please dont waste your time, go to a real Dr for hormone replacement. This place could care less!!!! The Dr is in the background and not involved and should lose her license! My scripts over 2 yrs were never called in. I always had to call back, now after a bad review, i was banned by head of this place..... but they Lied and said, I said I was not coming back. I said i am going to another urology dr for my dr note, never said I was not coming back, as I was waiting for them to call in Some scription cream. They banned me over the review!!! Now after paying for my visit on nov 9, I need to attempt a refund for my visit with blue cross and go to a Real DR. I have filed a claim with FL health dept for this place. I will Not let this go. Bad people here

Great experience 10 out of the 10 I highly recommend.

Ultrasound tech was wonderful. Friendly and kind.

I was looking for a good OB DR. After being in hospital for 2 weeks i need it a follow up with an OB. I had to much pain and unanswered questions. When I first arrived the receptionists were awesome!! They have good attitudes towards their patients!! Jasnin,Ashely and Megan!! When Dr Znoun called my name I was scared, in pain and doubful of how she was going to be because of past experiences I had with a previuos OB Dr. She was really attentive to my concerns and answered all my questions, she took her time to explain to me about what i was feeling, she told me that everything was going to be all right. After coming out of the appointment she made feel wayyyy better!! Its my first appointment with her and I know I chosed the right OB FOR ME!! So I recommend you Dr. “Z” you are truly a Gem

Absolutely stellar team. Kind, caring, compassionate, as well as informative and reassuring. Highly recommend this office.

Everyone is very friendly and professional! I have been coming here for years, and I highly recommend Manatee Gynecology to anyone needing their services.

I drive a bit of a distance to go to this facility. Wonderful community of care for women!

Wonderful experience for my annual visit. Friendly office, helpful staff, great doctors and clean exam rooms. I would recommend Manatee OBGYN to any of my friends and family. Dr. Sammie Billman was outstanding.

My mother has seen a doctor in this practice for many years and was very happy with the service I received so I chose to see a different doctor in the practice. It has been the worst experience possible she changed her schedule less than a week before my annual appointment and then tried to change it, they do not send in refills promptly, I do not feel heard in her office and her bedside manner is terrible. She speaks to me like I am a child which I am not.And she also requires a 3 month follow up for every new birth control prescription even if the pill is not working for me and as many who who have been on birth control know it can take quite a few pills before you find a pill that works for you. Their office is also always behind and it takes days to receive a phone call back. I would never recommend this practice to anyone.

I have been a patient at Manatee Gynecology for over 25 years.Recently I started to see Kaleigh, DNP, APRN, FNP-BCKaleigh is amazing!She is professional, kind, and very thorough. Kaleigh explained everything she was doing to me while in the examine room. I am hoping she will be a member of the team at Manatee Gynecology for a very long time.Marianne Makar, Bradenton, FL

Very cordial and professional! Dr. Linda is my favorite!

My doctor (Dr Desai) is wonderful but ... the office organization is horrible. Everything takes far too long. That means 1 hr waiting times are not unusual and it can take almost 2-1/2 years to get a bill for an annual visit & mammogram. The building itself reflects noise everywhere, so no conversation is private. Obviously more attention was placed on looks than function.

The Drs and staff are always friendly and welcoming at Manatee Gynecology.

I feel very fortunate to have found Manatee Gynecology and, in particular, Dr Zolnoun. She is working with me to find relief from chronic pain issues that have plagued me for a long time. Dr Z is an amazing doctor - very caring, supportive and tenacious about finding some pain relief for me. I trust her completely and see her as my strong advocate. I never feel rushed at appointments and usually don’t have to wait very long to see her. The office staff members are professional and kind.

They are all fantastic!!!!!!!!Highly recommend this place

I am a 26 y/o woman who has been seeking sterilization for my entire life. I have known from my teenage years I didnt want biological children. I have asked every provider Ive had and been denied with no room to talk.I chose to visit this clinic because its for women, by women. initially, I went for a pap smear. my pap came back abnormal. when we were discussing next steps, I mentioned wanting sterilization. there was some pushback, but for the first time I felt heard.Dr. Pandisico put me completely at ease. she listened to me intently and thoroughly and agreed to perform the sterilization procedure I had wanted for so long alongside my cervical dysplasia treatment. I had the surgery yesterday and Dr. Pandisico and Dr. Desai made it such a wonderful, smooth experience. I am SO GRATEFUL. words can NOT even begin to describe.Thank you so much Manatee Gynecology. with all of the unrest surrounding womens health lately, I finally feel secure and in control of my own path.Every person who works here is 10/10.

I highly recommend Dr. Desai!!!!!!!!!!! I have been going to her for many years now. I used to go to an OB/GYN in SRQ and I wasnt happy with the practice nor the doctor. One of my girlfriends was seeing Dr. Desai and referred me. I fell in love with her on my first visit! Shes honest and caring and SHE TRULY CARES ABOUT YOU AND YOUR BODY! and how YOU FEEL. I absolutely love the entire practice! Her staff is VERY friendly and efficient. Im at that age where I just needed a GYN. If youre looking for a new gyn look no further. Trust me!

Staff is very friendly always a positive experience there

2.5 hours for yearly appt and mammogram. Ridiculous!

Only one issue follow up. Other than that happy with it.

Dr Zolnoun is my doctor & I can not say enough wonderful things about her. Everyone at this facility from Melissa the surgical scheduler to the receptionists are lovely & cheerful and make you feel at ease. I highly recommend them all!

Excelent practice! The staff is wonderful and helpful making me feel comfortable. No wait, was called in less than five minutes after I checked in. I am so glad I found this place.

The staff was SO rude and unprofessional. I waited almost 3 hours before I saw a doctor and nurses were so rude to me. I will NEVER come here again. Sarasota (gulf coast OBGYN) is so much nicer, cleaner and professional and all around they just care for there patients SO much better. DO NOT RECOMMEND. If you are pregnant or just wanting an annual exam go to GULF COAST OBGYN IN SARASOTA. It might be a longer drive from Bradenton but it is DEFINITELY worth it. This place sucks!!!!

The office is very professional and clean. Staff is friendly.

Staff is great but still waiting on results from a recheck

I have struggled with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction for 8 years. I moved to Bradenton from Michigan 3 years ago and needed to find new medical practitioners. My current physical therapist, Jennifer Danahay, recommended that I contact Dr. Zolnoun. I had to wait 3 months for a new patient appointment, but it was worth the wait. Ive seen Dr. Zolnoun twice and have been very impressed with her approach to diagnosing and treating disease. Though Im just beginning my journey toward health, I have great confidence in Dr. Zolnoun.I have nothing but praise for Dr. Zolnoun and the wonderful staff at Manatee Gynecology. Dr. Z is helping me discover the underlying reasons why I have been struggling with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction for more than 8 years. Instead of recommending more prescription drugs, she is in the process of identifying why my bladder doesnt respond to normal signals. She helped me prove that my bladder doesnt empty completely which leads to pain and pressure (on a daily basis) and ultimately to frequent urinary tract infections (more than 1 per year for 40 years). We are still in the process of documenting my symptoms over an appropriate period of time so that specialty doctors and insurance companies will support further investigation. After years of seeing multiple OB/GYN, Urology, Physical Therapy and Internal Medicine practitioners, I finally found a caring physician that really listens and who doesnt think Im crazy. My journey continues, but Im glad I have Dr. Zolnoun on my team!

Felicia is extremely patient, kind & professional. I highly recommend Felicia for your care!

I love Dr. Zolnoun! When I moved from RI 5 years ago, I dreaded leaving my gynecologist of 20 years. I am blessed to have found Dr. Zolnoun. She takes her time, she listens, she is thorough and extremely intelligent. She truly cares about her patients, and treats them like personal friends. I am blessed!

Always fast, thorough and very friendly staff.

Professional, kind and prompt. Wonderful having multiple services at one facility.

I have always received excellent care at Manatee Gynecology.

Great staff very kind and friendly they make you feel very comfortable

Well, that was a first.... an appointment with a gynecologist... that I wished had been longer. Dr. Z put me at my ease immediately, she was so informative that I actually didnt mind being there.You cant beat knowledge, delivered with a caring attitude and a genuine passion for womenshealth. HIGHLY recommended!!!!

Sammie Billman was excellent and very informative

Dr. Desai is very detailed and thorough. Wish I had seen her years ago instead of dealing with the dismissive gynos I had in the past.

After a long 3 year battle with cervical cancer and debilitating surgery, chemo, and radiation treatments Dr’s Desai and Zolnoun are working with me to recover my body. I’m only 29. Dr. Desai helped save my life and now she’s improving my quality of life, all with an amazing upbeat attitude and a smile on her face. I recommend this office 💯% with stars across the board! 👍🏼

Have been a patient here for 3-ish years. My last visit and the billing from it has been a nightmare. Told me I was out of network after telling me I was in network; charging me for a second pap that had to be redone due to the office or lab mishandling; the girls that answer the phone are absolutely no help, and just try to agree with you so they dont have to be on the phone.

Excellent staff at this facility! Highly organized, efficient and friendly!

Dr. Desai and Dr. Zolnoun are amazing physicians. I am a young 45 year old breast cancer survivor who was forced into menopause following chemo. As a team, they have worked with me to help restore my body all while looking at me in a holistic manner . I highly recommend this practice . They have solutions to problems that many women face that do not always involve pharmaceuticals .

This is my third attempt to post so I hope it will not be repetitive.I live in Polk County, FL. I have had good, compassionate doctors who were not able to treat my Pelvic Floor Disorder. One of the doctors referred me to Dr. Denniz Zolnoun.She has years of experience and expertise in this area. She new what needed to be done immediately after an exam that required no instruments. At the next appointment, she determined the areas that needed the nerve block by pressing with a Q tip. I went home and woke up the following day pain free.The next treatment was a CO2 laser to help release scar tissue. It was uncomfortable but tolerable. Im not trying to give TMI.I want every woman to know that there is help available. Dr Denniz Zolnounis the answer to my prayers. Thank you, Melissa and Lindsey and the rest of the staff for your professionalism and compassion.

So thrilled that a friend recommended Manatee Gynecology. Top notch doctors and service! Dr. Desai and Dr. Kanijow were amazing. Answered all my questions with care, concern and professionalism. Every time I come to the office to see a doctor, have a mammogram or get blood work done Im always very pleased with the service.

Everyone was very nice especially the mammogram specialist!

Everybody was super nice and very professional
