Manatee Gynecology

Had an appointment with Alexa this morning! She was amazing! Very calming and friendly. Always gave me a heads up on what to expect so there were no surprises. She was very sweet, thoughtful and capable. Her calming presence made the whole experience fantastic!

DNP Sammie is the best. She always makes me feel comfortable and takes time for questions and concerns.Cathy ( Mammogram Tech) was very reassuringVernicia ( US tech) did a great job to

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!!!

All of the medical staff are kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I was able to get an appointment immediately. The environment is calm and welcoming. I have received excellent care at this facility.

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.

I’m 57 years old. I have been going to the gynecologist for almost 30 years in another state. What I have found at Manatee Gynecology is like heaven!!! The care is so comprehensive. All of my questions are answered. Each provider spends a long time with me. We are working together to solve my many issues. I am so grateful to have found them!

Ms.Sammy LITERALLY saved my life. Because of her caring approach, I followed up on her recommendation and today I can say that because of the early diagnosis, I am a cancer-free woman! Forever grateful.

The experience I have is always positive. Friendly staff from the ladies at the front desk, Kathy, mamo tech, Shelby, RN, Sammie, ARNP. All are very professional and knowledgeable in their jobs. I never feel rushed when I have an appointment or have to wait long. The office is always very clean. I havent had any billing issues, thats always a concern I have and I hope it continues since I now have Medicare.

No wait time, Doctor Billman and assistant so friendly and compassionate. Did Mamo also same day! Jessica was wonderful...love Manatee Gynecology

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

I always have a positive experience on my visits. Everyone is very nice, knowledgeable, and thorough. I will miss Dr. Pandiscio. She is amazing. Wishing her the very best. It is is bitter sweet. She will be missed. Iam sure she is leaving me in great hands. I will continue to be a patient. I would definitely recommend this office. Thank you for the excellent care. I really appreciate all of you.

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 going to Manatee Gynecology for about 30 years! Dr. Pandiscio was my Dr the entire time! She was fabulous! Now Kylie has taken over and so far so good. She has had someone call every time there were results to find out. I wouldn’t go anywhere else❤️💕

100% would recommend. Wonderful staff...easy to talk to (we all know this is usually an embarrassing conversation) and they LISTEN to you! They all repeat that YOU know YOUR body and really get that you are uncomfortable, so they put you right at ease! So far, so good. Thank you, all of you, for being so understanding!

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!

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.

Kylie Ameres is very professional, attentive and informative. All the providers and administrative staff are welcoming and helpful. Manatee Gynecology has perfected the process of scheduling multiple appointments together seamless and with little to no wait time.

The office was very clean and inviting, the office staff was friendly and professional. I was seen by Dr. Pandiscio, who never made me feel rushed. She spent time making sure that I understood everything about my visit as well as various options available to me. I really do appreciate her care.

Im retired with 3 grown children. I wish I would have found them sooner because Manatee GYN is the best. I drive 45 minutes to their office now because they are extremely knowledgeable and have provided me with great care.The friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere is the added treat.

I think Sammy provides the best gynecology care I have ever received and I really enjoy her demeanor. I always feel valued and respected. I’m very anxious about test results and I mentioned this at my last appointment. Then a had a 4 pm mammogram and got test results via portal before 8 am the next morning! So compassionate. I’m very pleased to recommend the staff and especially Sammy.

I was not happy with my last GYN practice and did some research, Im SO glad I changed to Manatee Gyn! I got in pretty quickly with Sarah Billman and I felt heard for the first time in years. Look ladies, youre 40s is a whole new beast so go somewhere that doesnt just keep telling you everything horrible happening to you is just normal. The reality is that most of it is, but at least this practice offers solutions to help you feel better. My only negative would be the 6 week wait for an ultrasound scan done on site. I knew it was important that she could view the scans but it just delayed getting results and come up with a plan. It ended up getting pushed out a few more weeks from the hurricane which was not their fault for sure, but it left me anxious longer than I would have liked. All that aside, this will be my practice for years to come. Office is very nice, excellent care, have and will continue to recommend!

Great office. Visit was quick with little waiting. Vascular assessment was done for free if insurance doesn’t pay. NP Sammi is awesome. Thorough and easy to talk to.

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.

Awesome staff! From Dr Pandiscio to Elizabeth who took me back. Mammographer and Ultrasound tech I felt like I was amongst a group of friends!!!!

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.

Jessica the mammogram tech was amazing. She’s kind, bright, professional and made me feel very reassured during the process. She was gentle and caring.

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 ..

Great experience, not long wait time. Saw the PA and got testing done. Very efficient.

I have been a patient there for 18 years. Everyone is professional, thorough, competent, and friendly. The wait time is very minimal. They follow up immediately.

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! ❤️👍

As always, I had a good experience with a very caring staff member that did my mammogram.

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;)

My experience was very comprehensive, congenial, interactive and interpersonal. Your staff is very competent and responsive to patient need offering comfort as well..

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.11/11/24This is the first time I was in the office since Dr. Pandiscio retired. Its business as usual, and I appreciate that.

Great NP, great and super friendly staff! Sammy is so knowledgeable, a great listener and is genuinely concerned for your overall health.

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.

Sammie is the best! She takes the time to listen to your concerns, educates you and offers suggestions and advice. I will keep recommending Sammie to everyone I know!

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.

Great staff! Lisbeth at the front desk is so kind and helpful. She helped me even when I was overseas!

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- seriously! Never fun to go to the Gynocology yearly appointment but I can honestly say You made me feel so comfortable with the questions I had - so a million thanks for being absolutely priceless!

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!

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

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.

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!

Sammie is just the sweetest. She makes you feel so comfortable.

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.

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!💗

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 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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Mammo tech and US tech were awesome. Mammonyrch was very caring and professional. Jessica is her name I tjink

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.

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

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!!

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 ❤️🙏

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

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

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

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! I I cannot say enough good things about them. I definitely recommend this practice to everyone.

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

Kylie Ameres p.a. made me feel comfortable. She was knowledgeable and professional, too.

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.

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.

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.

I felt very welcomed and time was spent with me explaining everything

Mammogram today was so quick and easy. They don’t hurt you here!! Very gentle. Thank you!!

Very modern building and nice staff. First visit went very well.

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.

I highly recommend Manatee Gynecology. Sarah Billman ARNP is so down to earth. The office staff is friendly and efficient..

I have used Manatee gynecology for 45 years. I have always been happy with the doctors and the attention I have received there.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

Friendly staff and doctors, beautiful space. I feel seen and heard.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Excellent staff and beautiful surroundings. Love this place.

Everyone was super nice. Everything was explained where I could understand. Sammi is the best!

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.

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%.

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

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

Always professional, greeted with a smile. Feels like youre in a spa while getting a mammogram.

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

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

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.

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

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.

A great experience. Kind , caring , efficient and effective. My kind of medical office.

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

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!

Wonderful caring people. They definitely put your mind at ease.

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!!!

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 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.

Always a pleasure. Staff is so helpful and patient!

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.

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.

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! :)

My doctor was very informative, a great listener and comforting!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.😎🤙

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!

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.

Dr Pandiscio is the best. She gives a very kind personal experience.

Always so willing to give wonderful care n patience! Ty Manatee Gyn!

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

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

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

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 👍

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

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.

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 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.

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.

The technician was amazing. 100 stars for her.

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!

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

Great place, been going there for better than 20 yrs.

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

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!

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.

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

Clean, friendly, quick. Love the comfort of going here

Ive been going here for decades. Highly recommend

Love this place, Dr Desai is amazing as is Sammie

Great Staff. Very friendly and supportive.

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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 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.

They were very helpful before the holidays

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

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.

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’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 😊

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

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

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

They’re always great there and on time!

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

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!!!!

Tech that did the sonogram was very pleasant and through!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Professional and Kind. All hard workers and they seem to care

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!!

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

Feel that I am getting the care I need.

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!
