5 stars for Dr. Nina Lundberg (see my review at Bradenton Internal Medicine). The only critique I can share is that this office does not offer bloodwork/specimen testing on site. It can be quite inconvenient to plan around 2 separate doctor appointments (1 for bloodwork and 1 to see the physician) but Dr. Lundberg is great.

What a huge disappointment this office is. Been going 20 + years and no one bothered to inform that my primary care physician was gone. When Joe Ganey retired, he had the decency to inform me who was taking his place and introduced me to Anna Griggs making me feel like my medical history mattered and was important. Got a diagnosis in 2023 from Anna and we were working on a treatment plan and she just left. She couldn’t have the respect to let me know she was just leaving. Never did the office call me to advise me and introduce me to other physicians or who might be best for my diagnosis. This office has lost it care, concern AND respect for their patients. I think the Ganey’s would be disappointed to know their legacy is no different than any other!!!

Dear Dr. Aloka, So I have been a patient of AMA Medical for at least 7 years going back to Dr. Ganey. I have seen allot of changes. My present P.A. is Kaylee Moses who I regard as being as good, even better than many doctors I have seen i the past. She is a gem. This Message is not about my care. It is about the staff Dr. Aloka has at the front desk in the Bradenton Office.

I think Brandy and Kathy are terrific. They both work very hard answering phones and taking care of incoming patients.
HOWEVER, there is a guy there at the check out desk by the name of "Christian" who is the laziest kid I have ever seen. Today, I was in the office seeing Shelly (another wonderful Nurse who I dearly love) and After my visit I went to the check out desk and this guy Christian was actually SLEEPING at his desk. My comment to him was " Hello, now you can wake up"!!!!!!! He did, and as I walked out to speak with Cathy I noticed the phone ringing and ringing and he had to be told to answer the phone as the girls at the front desk were both BUSY. This should not be tolerated. This guy should be fired. This is also not the first time I have seen this guy texting on his phone and paying no attention to any patients. As an R.N. myself I find this behavior intollerable. I am hoping you, Dr. Aloka or the supervisor of the Bradenton office will finally rid this office of this lazy guy.
Sincerely, Christina Lindsay R.N.C.
I am always available for a phone call.

I've had a great first experience with this location. All staff members were kind and helpful. My endocrinologist was wonderful to speak with and addressed everything needed. It was clean, large enough waiting room and my wait was a little less than 5 minutes. Definitely would recommend.

We have been going to AMA in Bradenton for years. We love the attention, care and compassion we always receive from Dr Alokeh. I look forward to visits as I know Bill and I will always get thorough answers to any and all of our questions. He goes above and beyond to ascertain we are satisfied and comfortable before leaving his office. We also love his nurse Shelly. No matter what kind of day she is having, she is always happy and helpful. Thank you AMA for exemplary service!!

I just want to enhance my review in stating we have once again received the most considerate care from AMA. Both my husband and I recently experienced covid. In calling AMA, they set up virtual visits with Dr Kelly Moses (since we are out of state for the summer). Our concerns were immediately assessed within hours of our calls by Dr Moses and appropriate care given. Once again, thank you AMA, Dr Moses and the entire staff for ALWAYS being there for us!

Horrible!!! Horrible!!!! Customer service/ PSR terrible!!!!!!! These 2 new people at the front desk is awful!!! Especially the short Latina young woman. No sense of human towards anyone always answering the phone with attitude as if she hates her job or if the caller is begging her anything. If I never loved my provider I would not come back here. Please train your PSR to answer the phone…. People can’t be calling 20 plus time with no answers!!!! Omg! No answer at all. And when they do it’s always an attitude. Please do better AMA.

If my HMO offered other choices, I would look for an alternative to AMA. There are multiple problems. Time after time, Dr. Alokeh's staff looks for ways to avoid helping me. Yesterday, the phone receptionist refused to pass my message along to the doctor or nurse--just flat-out refused to pass the message along. Earlier this year, Dr. Alokeh gave me a medicine that was not recommended for my condition, and I almost had to go to hospital. Alokeh's nurse kept promising to call-in medicine, but I had to ultimately beg the pharmacist to reach out to the doctor. Something must be very wrong in AMA's corporate values, or culture. If things go sideways, they can do so in a big way when it your health we're talking about.

Cannot express the value of the quality of care given to my husband and myself by Anna Griggs, the NP. She is one of the most caring healthcare NPs we have ever had. She was on top of everything that involved the best care for my husband who was fragile. We have not met The physician yet but hope he is as caring.
