Worst physician I ever encountered in my life! The first time I saw him was s/p severe MVA and I had herniated almost every disc in my spine. I was crying in pain and when he entered the room he asked me if I was faking it! The second time I saw him, I had had ascites, which is accumulation of fluid in your peritoneal space maybe due to cancer. He started yelling at me, "you have a fat stomach, a chunky fat stomach," and repeated it over and over at me. I am not fat, but a woman's size 6. I also was telling him about an infected ulcer on my right lower leg that was there for 3 months despite 2 courses of antibiotics. I told him that I had had a phlebectomy in that leg, so I did not have much circulation. Again in an angry tone, he yelled at me, "if you are worried about your circulation then stop smoking!" I left the office crying!

This doctor is an outstanding physician who has provided care to the Sarasota community for almost 25 years. He is surrounded with an excellent staff and I would highly recommend him. He has the experience and bedside manner to take good care of you and your family.

We are forever grateful to Dr. Aristimuño for his acute diligence and knowledge in the care of our daughter with an emergency situation .Upon examination of her eye he referred and made an immediate appointment for her with a retina specialist. She had laser surgery that day. Dr. Aristimuño followed up within a few hours with Dr. Chris Stelton (Retina Specialist we would highly recommend ) . It was incredibly reassuring to have such competent caring physicians. Our sincere appreciation, Family ‘C’

He is a wonderful Doctor, very caring. He listens to you! You don't feel like he is in and out without paying attention to you or rushed. I am very, very happy to have him as my doctor. I feel very confident recommending him.

Staff doing paper work- are not friendly- they seem efficient. But if the doctor and back office staff had the attitude of the front office I never would have returned! In fact when I was greeted by a young man working the back office I told him his was the first friendly face I had seen here.

My condition was not unusual, I'm sure, but he was patient and understanding of my discomfort. He had to try a few simpler things for the process of elimination before moving on to more expansive and expensive testing (as I have don't have insurance). The final outcome was that everything is normal and the condition was resolved. I was pleased with his staff and services and would recommend him to anyone that asks.

I have been to many Doctors over the years, but Dr. A is one of the best. He took time to listen to me and has a great bed side manner. I can recommend him without reservation.

i went to a different doctor with the flu / sinus infection and got no relief. Doctor Aristimuno was able to get me well very quickly!

Horrible money grubbing Dr!!! Never again will I see this guy. Beware!!

Walking into the Sarasota Medical Center felt a lot like visiting Grandma's house--the environment was warm and friendly, the staff was courteous, and everyone seemed genuinely interested in me. I was seen extremely quickly and treated kindly throughout, which is something considering I'm quite the persnickety patient! Dr. A is an extremely friendly and professional doctor who took the time to listen to what I had to say and made me feel like an actual person and not just another cog in his wheel of patients. I don't think I've ever looked forward to going to the doctors so much. A truly fantastic experience, and a truly kindhearted doc!

Dr. Aristimuno's office provided a welcome relief to me while on vacation in the Sarasota area. I was refused an injection for my arthritic knee after going to several "urgent care centers" and even the Sarasota E.R. Dr Aristimuno and his pleasant staff were very perceptive to my distress and understood immediately the severity of my problem away from home. It was truly a pleasure to be treated by such a competent and capable physician whose knowledge and experience enabled him to deliver my cortisone injection.

Dr. Aristimuno was very sweet with my 4 year old, prompt and caring with his needs. He was very personable and the staff was incredible.

We are snowbirds. After doing our homework on several MD review sites, we chose to see Doctors Mason (first visit) and Aristimuno (follow-up visit). As others have mentioned, the staff is amazingly friendly and efficientâ??other than one unsmiling assistant who took vitals, but we did mention this to the doctor, so hopefully the office will soon be 100% friendly! The wait time was quick, the doctor was attentive, the checkout is a precision machine in action. Very happy (and fortunate) with our choice.

I found "Dr. A" when I was sick and had trouble booking appointments at other Doctors. It was easy and comforting to reach his office. The receptionist was friendly, upbeat and very courteous to me. It was a breath of fresh air to be treated warmly and to be able to book an appointment the same day. I was greeted nicely as I entered the office and instructed on how to sign in. I waited only a few minutes and was escorted to a room. I wish the medical assistants who were taking my temp, and blood pressure and other measurements, were more friendly. They did their jobs fine, they just don't seem to smile or act as warmly as the receptionist and the doctor. When Doctor Aristimuno came in he was nice, warm and listened well. He treated me with respect and answered my questions. He prescribed treatment and thought carefully about what was appropriated for me specifically. I found him to be a unique doctor that cares and follows through. That was my experience and I'm glad I found such a doctor that where I can make appointments quickly.

Dr. Aristimuno and his staff were friendly, attentive, and caring. It was as great of an experience at a doctor's office that one can find. I felt that Dr. Aristimuno really cared about diagnosing my problem, I did not feel rushed or like just another patient. He also gave my son who tagged along special attention.
