Very thorough. Recommended several natural alternatives to some of my issues. Professional and courteous.

Can't ask much more from a primary care doc. Doesn't overprescribe drugs. Considers alternative methods and treatments. Listens, goes over tests very thoroughly. The best.

Certainly not the best. One star is too high a rating.

I am an RN so I feel I am a pretty good judge of MDs.
Top score For Dr. Ugarte. He did a full medical exam including palpation of the abdomen, lymphs, throat, eyes and ears. Even asked about my life and stressors. Assessment of the the body as a whole aside from areas meant for a GYN. Took a VERY thorough verbal exam.
I needed a primary doctor and expected a rushed 5 minute exam and out the door. Dr Ugarte sat and listened to my history and a specific complaint for approximately 20 minutes. Aside from the exam.
I appreciated that he has excellent medical knowledge, thinks outside the box and is VERY current with new findings. He has a professional but very pleasant bedside manner.
I tried to make a new patient appointment for my husband and he is booked until October 2022.
I am definitely not a fan of the medicine practiced in The Villages. I have found few to have the knowledge required for todays healthcare but Ingarte was a true surprise.
I only hope he lasts for awhile and doesnt become disenchanted with how medicine is practiced locally.
