Dr. Anthony Douglas, MD

I have been seeing Dr. Douglas for quite a few years, mainly for my high blood pressure. I get a lot of anxiety about going to a doctor's office and having my blood pressure taken because I've had medical professionals 'freak out' about it when I'm not on medication. I never had that negative experience in his office, only patience and understanding. I feel I can be completely honest with him without judgement or a laundry list of what I need to do different in my life. I would highly recommend him!

As of about February 2022 Dr Douglas has retired. I had been a patient of Dr Douglas for over 10 years as my PCP. I always had a good rapport with the doctor and his staff - 5 stars. I was very sad to learn he was retiring and going to stop practicing medicine. The doctor who took over Dr Douglas practice is a family doctor - Gurpawan Dhaliwal - I visited with him once and have decided to find another Internal Medicine primary care doctor. I suggest this listing for Dr Douglas be removed which is why I rated ONE STAR

I have never before posted ANY review about any product, service, or provider. That said, I had been a patient of Dr. Douglas for over ten years. Since I was in good health, my interactions with him had primarily been for annual physicals. This month, I e-mailed him, recapping some minor questions from the last couple of years, and asking for a referral to a cardiologist. Here was his response (quote): << 9:35 AM – Response from Douglas Not sure I appreciate the tone of your email but in any case, you can choose a cardiologist of your choice and a new primary care doctor. I will care for you for 30 days for emergencies. We will transfer your records upon receipt of a signed consent. Anthony Douglas, MD I was dumbfounded at his uncalled for, unprofessional response. Not exactly a supportive, helpful, caring stance. In retrospect, I should have changed primary physician years ago, as he's always displayed a condescending, “I'm the smartest guy in the room” attitude. So it goes.

Maybe those who are wanting to go to this practice will NOW have an opening. Initially had pleasant experiences as my PCP until my bout with aggressive stage 3 lymphoma. Now my current pharmaceutical needs (which drastically changed after my cancer diagnosis) will not be supplied as Dr Douglas believes I need a psychiatrist. Even tho an extremely well qualified hospitalist at Advent altamonte who thoughtfully supplied this very delicate, well balanced blend of pain killers and anti anxiety medicines (post chemotherapy). So I've been booted out and now there is an opening but be warned, if your medical condition is rare (like mine) with a severe case of ankylosing spondylitis and recovering from very aggressive hospital monitored chemotherapy you will NOT be taken care of, shunned to a psychiatrist! I'm extremely saddened And disappointed with the morals of Dr Douglas. ??

I have been a patient of Dr Douglas for over 10 years. He has always been patient, kind, and willing to listen. I was going through a health scare recently and he took the time to talk to me and calm my fears. I’ve told him he is stuck with me until one of us moves or retires!

I used to see Dr Douglas but when I came down with pneumonia, he prescribed levofloxacin. I started having a severe reaction to it and he refused to change the prescription. I called back after reading the black box warning that said to discontinue it - and he refused to take my call. The nurse on call reprimanded me for reading the “small print” and also refused to change the prescription. I was home alone with a fever of 104.5 & they never called again to check on me after this. Worst dr ever.

In January I experienced sharp pains in my chest and difficulty breathing. I immediately scheduled an appointment. During this appt he ran no tests, and diagnosed me with acid reflux. He also told me NOT to go to the hospital. He wrote a script for an antacid and sent me on my way. I did not have acid reflux, and my pain worsened. I tried to schedule another appt and was told he did not want to see me. I'm glad I didn't listen to him, I've since been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease

Dr. Douglas is an exceptionally competent physician. His communication is clear and direct and he has an excellent "bedside manner." In the years I've seen him, he has NEVER been late for my appointment. His staff is also superb.

As always a stellar physician -- top notch in care and interest in you as a person and not just a patient. His nurse practitioner and admin team are also well organized and caring. You are lucky if you can call Dr. Douglas your physician.

Really takes the time and listens to his patients. Great doctor!!!

Dr. Douglas was recommend to me by a friend and then my cardiologists, both I have the utmost respect for so Dr. Douglas came highly recommended to me. Upon meeting him and his staff I knew I had found a new medical home. He is kind and caring, listens and gives advice as it is needed, I trust him totally. I had an experience were a Dr. held necessary medication and I ended up in hospital. So going to a new Dr. after my last experience it was a little scary and Dr. Douglas put me at ease!

always on time no office wait
