I am very pleased with her care, she is very knowledgeable and thorough. When I need to see an MD I see Dr. "Winn" (pronunciation correct, spelling not correct.)

I saw Stephen Bookbinder, a rheumatologist in Ocala who was not terribly personable and changed to Dr. Miguel Gonzales in TV and Leesburg. Dr. Choudry is a neurologist with whom I was very pleased. I switched cardiologist to Dr. Georg Couterier in Spanish Springs. I am pleased with him as well.
We go to Serenity Dental Spa in SS and are happy with them.
I am glad that you had a good experience with Dr. Choudry. I saw him just once and found him to be condescending and rude. He didn't like the fact that I questioned him as to why I needed a very expensive medication that he wanted to prescribe. He got angry when I questioned him as to why he was insisting I go see another specialist at Celebration Hospital. I was just supposed to listen to his recommendations, not say a word and not ask any questions. I don't operate that way when it comes to most areas of my life so, needless to say, I didn't go back. His communication bordered on abuse and no patient should have to put up with that from anyone. I was referred to him for two issues and both resolved themselves on their own and through other holistic measures. He MAY be a good neurologist but he was not the right one for me.
