    3/31/2024 | BayCare Verified Patient
    This was my sons first visit with a provider for adult neurology (transitioning from All Childrens Hospital). One of the first things she said was that she only had 11 pages of records from ACH. I stated that I signed the release of medical information form, and I thought to myself that she or her staff should have reached out to ACH to get all of the records needed. As a health care provider (RN), I was disheartened with Dr. Kumar-Pelayos bed-side manner. She said things that alarmed/scared us, and I had to continuously ask questions to get a clear understanding what the plan of care will be, and I am still unsure. I can tell that Dr. Kumar-Pelayo is smart, but we were upset and scared following this visit.

    The doctor spent a reasonable amount of time communicating with me and made sure I understood the when, where, and why of my condition.
