Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

“One of the good ones.”
I have seen Dr Ardesia regularly over 20 years as my PCP. I find him to be friendly and approachable, an empathetic listener and a clear communicator. I like and appreciate his professional commitment to holistic healthcare and that has helped me a lot in coping with and adapting to the several challenges that come with getting older and having less resilience to health challenges. He’s always encouraging and supportive and you genuinely feel he wants to help you find the best outcome no matter what you’re dealing with. On a crowded field of physicians here in Florida, he truly is one of the good ones.

Great listener
Dr. Ardesia takes the time to listen to you and responds with respect and absolutely no arrogance. I'd be happy to talk to him over a beer :-) Response is quick when using mychart for a referral or answering a question.

I have been going to Dr. Ardesia for about 4 years now. He is probably the most compassionate doctor I have ever met. I feel he truly cares about me and my well-being; and I feel sure he is that way with all his patients. He has done a marvelous job of referring me to the best specialists when needed. I feel very blessed to have the doctors I have. Dr. Ardesia is honest, does not hesitate to tell me if there is a problem but does so in a caring way and is open to listening to me and answering any questions I may have. He is an exemplary PCP.

Dr. Ardesia is truly an amazing doctor. I have had great doctors when I lived in Minnesota, but this man has gone way out of his way to care for an urgent need of mine. He has been available on a continuous basis without my paying for a visit in person. My heart is full with his caring and dedicated manner. God bless this man!
