SUNSHINE MEDICINE ASSOCIATES

My wife suffered for months with chronic migraines and hemi facial spasms, we went to many doctors and could not find her relief After being in constant pain almost 24 hours a day we were referred to Dr. Malik From the first moment we walked into the office they listened to everything she had to say and they did everything they could to try to help her until they found a solution thanks to Dr. Malik and her team. It has been five months and my wife has not had a migraine. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Malik I thank her and her staff for all they do. We would also like to thank the staff at the Trinity office, they are all wonderful to deal with

Do not go here if you value your time and health. If by need a neurologist, stay away from this place. I made three appointments and never once saw the doctor. The receptionist is nice but completely incompetent, messing up my appointments three times! She also can't take a message. Once I got a call back from someone other than my doctor telling me I was scheduled for a telephone visit to have a prescription refilled and wanting to collect a copay. I just had a question about my medication I was prescribed. For my first two appointments, I saw two different physician assistants when I was expecting the doctor. They both prescribed medications that made me way worse than when I started. The first one ordered a CT scan. My insurance deemed it not medically necessary after the fact and wouldn't pay. I had to fight to get the doctor to appeal it and justify her order. For the second test, ordered by a different assistant, they kept forgetting to send the order and I finally just hand delivered it. They also forgot to send my prescription to the pharmacy. The second test ended up being the wrong test for my symptoms and proved nothing. I got to pay for that too. For my final appointment, I showed up and the office was closed. When I called, the same receptionist that scheduled my appointment said that office is closed on Fridays. She didn't tell me that it would be somewhere else when I made the appointment.

Big time thank you to both Dr. Samia Malik and FNP-BC Stephani Schutt and the entire staff at Sunshine Medicine Associates. I would give them 1000 Stars in my review if possible. I developed mild right side headaches and neck pain that have been ongoing for two months. My primary healthcare provider gave me a referral for neurology and I am very lucky to have Doctor Malik and NP Schutt. They are both extremely knowledgeable and wanting to understand what is going on and why. NP Stephani did a basic evaluation screening and listened to me what was happening. She ordered additional testing and then Doctor Malik came in to explain the process. I especially liked what Doctor Malik said because there are many things she can do but wants to first wait for the test results. They both earned my immediate trust and confidence and how to proceed. THANK YOU again to Doctor Malik and FNP-BC Stephani. You both are awesome and wonderful.

I have chronic urticaria for over 2 years and the hives were so angry can cause me get into ER 3 times in a month. I’ve looked for a lot different doctors all over florida for my problem and no one can help me out. Dr Salim, he is the only one can cure me. He is so patient on treating my urticaria. After 2 visits, he controlled my urticaria. Thank you Dr Salim, you are the best.

For 2 days I've been trying to reach ANYONE with questions regarding paperwork for my son's school via calls, chats, voicemail and the portal but you can't get a person on the phone. There not even an option to speak to the front desk everything just sends you to a VM! It's absolutely absurd and very unprofessional. We will definitely be looking for a new neurologist and immunologist at this point.

I had extremely bad migraines EVERY single day. I started with Dr. Malik and then started working with Stephanie Schutt, Nurse Practitioner. They were finally able to find a medicinal combination that had relieved me of daily migraines. Stephanie is so patient and kind. So happy I found a practice that was finally able to get me relief to function throughmy daily duties at home and work.

Based on one visit, no testing done. The office staff was welcoming + helpful and our nurse was pleasant. I was looking for a long term allergist for my daughter as we are fairly new to the area. My first impression of Dr. Salim is that he is professional, confident and knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns and was spitting out information faster than I could process it. It was a lot to take in, but I liked that he had an answer and/or suggestion for every question or concern I had. He was thorough. The office is really busy, but it looks like they all work well together to manage the flow. Ultimately, I decided not to move forward with him because I am looking for an Allergist who does OIT/SLIT for food allergies. He offers SLIT, but only for environmental. The reason I docked a star is that he prescribed an asthma inhaler for my daughter that contained dairy derivatives knowing she has a dairy allergy. He said it would be safe for her to use. Now this may very well be true, but we were about to go on a week long cruise vacation and it wasn’t something I wanted to risk. I called the office and asked him to switch it. The second inhaler prescribed still had dairy derivatives. I couldn’t wrap my mind around this as there are other options with no dairy. Just for the peace of mind of the patient, it should’ve been done. I didn’t bother calling back to ask them to switch it.

I'm having surgery in 2 weeks and my surgeon has requested a letter from all my Dr's (Primary-Thoracic Surgeon, etc, including my Neurologist Dr Malik.) My surgeons office has called, I have called, any have gotten no response, so today I stopped in the Westchase office to see if I could pick it up and was told "WE DON'T DO THAT", WELL THANKS A LOT! I suggest that you don't go to this office for any neurology problems, seems they are too busy for a patients needs..............VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST!!

I've always had great experiences with Sunshine Medicine and the staff, but lately it's been unprofessional. The communication with the office staff and the providers needs to improve, I've had to contact numerous times to have my medication sent to my pharmacy and it was pulling teeth to have them do their job that I paid my copay for. I'm very disappointed, I've had good experiences with them in the past but this is unacceptable.

A wonderful staff and I would like to personally thank two individuals. Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Patricia for having wonderful customer service and asking the right questions. The one of the best staff in the Tampa Bay Area.
