Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

phenominal doctor and staff
From the moment I called for an appointment as a new patient I felt confident in my choice for a primary care physician. Dr. Saccente and all his staff went above and beyond to in every way from the moment I checked in to welcome me as a patient. Dr. Saccente has genuine concern for my health and well being. It was an extremely thorough initial appointment, taking sincere interest following up on past and future health concerns. It surely was a warm, inviting, personal experience. The office is immaculate, staff couldn't have been more friendlier and professional ! It was the best experience I have had with the medical community.

never give up
Ive been seeing the doctor for over ten years now. He listens and acts prudently on whatever the situation calls for. I never had any difficulty in the prescriptions hes written for me. I might add that Ive never had a problem with his staff either. Im happy to a patient of his and see no reason to change anytime soon.

Greatest doctor ever
I have been a patient of Dr. Saccente for more than 20 years. He has treated every member of my family and I recommend him to everyone who asks. He listens carefully first without interruption before he makes a suggestion for treatment. He is so very knowledgeable and kind. His office staff is top notch. Michelle works so hard to accommodate your schedule. Megan is friendly and knowledgeable as well. Julie is just fantastic. She is kind and empathetic. I recommend Dr. Saccente highly.

Excellent Doctor
Dr Saccente is an Excellent, caring doctor. He takes his time, is kind and thorough and he LISTENS. He does not interrupt and he takes his time to hear what it is you are worried about. Hard to find that in any person, let alone a doctor. His decisions are always sensible. His office staff is also most excellent and go way above and beyond for me. He is even on time! Very happy to finally find a doctor I can trust.

Highly recommended for excellent care
My husband and I needed a primary care physician but sometimes it's hard to find a good doctor. Finally, after asking everyone we knew, two of our friends came up with the same name: Dr. Michael Saccente. They both said he really cares about his patients. And that's the truth. Dr. Saccente takes his time and is very thorough—plus he has a great sense of humor, which is so often missing these days. If you need a really good doctor, you won't be disappointed. Plus—and this is key here in Florida where this is so often not the case—his staff also gets high marks for being professional and friendly.

I love Dr. Saccente. He is very caring and truly cares about your health and how he can help you. I went to him for 4 years or so but then my health insurance changed. I’m happy to be back and it was like I never left even though it had been 3 years. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Saccente is a kind, caring and very knowledgeable doctor. He listens to his patients and examines them carefully then orders appropriate testing and treatment. He has been a God-send to our family, especially during the current health crisis. Dr Saccente is a young man but reminds us of the beloved family doctors of our youth.

My h7sband and myself were cared for by Dr Michael D Saccente while in Morton Plant Hospital .We found him to have excellent clinical skills and bedside manners. While being professional and caring and compassionate. It was on the weekend and he was covering for our primary care physician and we told pur primary care physician how impressed we are with Dr Saccente. I highly recommend him.I have worked in the medical field for many years and it is sometimes hard to find a doctor as caring as him.

My parents have been his patients for years. I am a nurse and seeing the care and compassion of Team Saccente is wonderful. At visits, Dr. S listens to the patient, and discusses plan of care. His intelligence, love and dedication to his patients is evident in every aspect of his medical practice. He addresses all concerns of mind, body and soul at office visits and when in the hospital. The office staff is simply fantastic. Efficient, friendly, knowledgable, and compassionate.
