Dr. Jacques Louis Aristilde, MD

I've been a patient for over 10 years my 1st visit was for knee pain which he referred me to an orthopedic doctor where I got my 1st cortisone shot. However now 10 years have past and my cartridge has been deteriorated and I am a candidate for knee replacement, I have been going to the bone and joint orth doctors for over 8 years. I had cortisone as well as gel injections done, my insurance requires me to have a referral from my pcp doctor before I can be seen by a specialist and Dr Aristide is not making it easy.. he now want to treat me for my knee pain and do my cortisone shots. So the girl cathy in the office brings me in after telling her I'm in pain and can hardly walk I have to wait 5 days for the visit and then I find out they dont have cortisone in the office its waiting to come in..really? You prevented me from my orthopedic doctor because you refuse to give me the referral. This has become a hugh problem and I explained my frustration with the doctor and his office staff, im interagated before I can make an appointment and have to be diagnosed by the receptionist before shell bring me in and when requests for a referral is sent they never seem to get it, it always has to be sent 3x..I have sat in my orthopedics office and been xrayed waiting for the doctor only to be told we cant see you, your doctors office never sent back the referal...I am also a heart patience and need my pcp to approve my visits to the cardiologist...needless to say I've found a new pcp doctor...its said when money gets in the way of your health

Dr Aristilde is very professional and actually listens! Office is very friendly!

I absolutely love Dr. Aristilde! I’ve been seeing him for years, and he’s the best around. He has helped me thru many issues, always with the time and patience needed. He listens to problems, and takes your own judgement into consideration. I’ll stay with him forever.

Dr. Aristilde was very attentive to my concerns. He has treated me for a variety of conditions, all with the utmost care. I would recommend him to anyone, and have!

Just found Dr. Jacques Aristilde and I’m thanking God there are still doctors who spend time with their patients and listen. He spent close to an hour for my new patient visit and listened to all of my concerns. I’m a registered nurse and finding a doctor is not easy for me, as they tend to be condescending to nurses. This doctor treated me with the utmost respect and was just truly a nice man! Hard to find that now a days!

Dr. A. helps me and is not a referral expert . LoL.. its like most Doctors these days don't want the responsibility of the care , but want to get wealthy fast and over book .they just refer. I am very happy Dr. Aristilde takes the time to treat me. He will ask the questions I always forget too. most important is staying well and getting there . Thank-you, sir, BW results are A++++ too

I have been with the Dr. for approximately 1 1/2 years. While he is very pleasant and willing to provide any referrasl requested, his failure to provide patient follow up on lab reports which indicate further needs, as well as contact about meds he prescribed for problems, to determine their effect and desired result leave the patient awaiting such contact and requiring the patient to contact the office staff in an attemtp to determine if the Dr has any further directions or cconcerns.. This is very poor business practice as well as abonimal patient care.

He is an excellent doctor. The best in Hernando County.

Dr. Aristilde is wonderful and with his help I have lost over 25 pounds in 6 weeks. His staff is encouraging and very energetic. He spends time with me going over my diet, exercise and the plan he has me on and is always willing to talk to me on the phone if there is a concern or problem.
