Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi

My experience with Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi has been pleasant and satisfactory. I went under Dr. Bruce Mertz after my lifelong family doctor down the street (Schulze Sr.) finally retired and I have the former office to thank for the good referral.Dr. Mertz sets his patients at ease. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, offers prevention advice, and has a very proficient practice. The paperwork that is shared with the patient is modern and easy to follow. The admin help visibly work off the options of the health insurance I am using. The low waiting times with the waiting room and exam room have been impressive versus what I read of elsewhere. The overall operation is set up to run efficiently, which is too rare in the healthcare industry. The waiting area is large, clean and well-kept.I would recommend this practice to family and friends.

Professional, timely, efficient and courteous are just a few words to describe my experience with Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi.I was waiting hours and hours in the waiting room of my previous family practitioner and it was becoming a burden. He was a wonderful physician but the wait time was just too much. Luckily I found Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi and was accepted as a new patient. That was about six months ago. Both my wife and I switched to Dr. Mertz. Dr. Mertz is fantastic. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, and has a very proficient practice. Both my wife and I have seen Dr. Mertz several times since becoming his patients and every time we only spent five to ten minutes in the waiting room and only a couple minutes in the exam room before Dr. Mertz came in. I only wish I had found Dr. Mertz when I retired to Corpus Christi in 2005. My life would have been much better from a medical standpoint.I'd be remiss if I didn't mention his staff and the waiting area. His staff is wonderful in every regard. And the waiting area is large and clean. If you're considering Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi, don't hesitate to give them a call. And by all means as to be assigned to Dr. Mertz.

Dr. Breeling and his staff were very welcoming to me as a new patient. I added a couple of sheets with meds, vitamins, ailments, surgeries to the back of the initial paper work and they accepted it and the nurse, Brittany, even thanked me for it! No one was grumpy and seemed happy to have me. Dr. Breeling is the kind of doctor you feel confident in. Ask him or tell him anything. He is a font of knowledge and is professionally kind. He has 2 physician assistants and said if I came in for a cold or such I would probably see one of them. Met one and she was very gracious. Brittany said if I had reason to come to doctor quickly, I could probably get in that day! With a PA. Great news! Super first visit experience!! Btw, I am 76 and can be very particular. I quit my last doctor because her nurse was rude; well not patient. We senior citizens have been through a lot and have lots to say and more questions to ask. These people put up with me with smiles and reassured me with respect. Thank you!! Btw, they have a lab across the hall! So convenient! Dr. Breeling is taking new patients though he has practiced over 30 years.

Dr.Dennis has been my Dr for over 20 years he is such a great Dr with great patient skills the office personal are outstanding friendly and helpful wait time is so fast . They call u in check in and before u know it Dr Dennis is in asking what is going on I would recommend to Anyone that Dr Dennis is a great Dr and so are his staff

I love Dr. Breeling but something has changed in the past year or so. I believe one of the drs left so his patients are being spread out to the others. In most occasions, I have to call at least twice to get a return call. Also, they charge $35 for after hour calls (I'm assuming to avoid those non necessary calls but how do I know if I should go to the ER or if it can wait til office hours)

Dr. Breeling has been caring for me for over 20 years now. He is old school and one of a kind when it comes to 'one-on-one' attention to his patients. He is willing to really LISTEN to my questions and explain thoroughly. One of his specialties is geriatrics, and when my elderly mom moved in with me 13 years ago, I immediately began taking her to see Dr. Breeling, too. She is now 99 and doing very well. One of my friends referred me to Dr. Breeling 20+ years ago. This friend was a registered nurse in one of our local trauma hospitals. She said Dr. Breeling is one of the FEW (now literally only a handful) primary care doctors in Corpus Christi who still visits his patients when they are inpatients at the hospital. EVERY DAY. I know, because on the occasions mom is hospitalized, I make it a point to be at the hospital when Dr. Breeling makes rounds. My RN friend said his care is very hands-on and I have found that to be true. Over the years we have also been seen by Dr. Mertz and NP Velma Parris. All of them provide the same thorough and conscientious care. I would not change doctors for all the money in the world.

I have recently moved to Corpus Christi and I was referred to Dr. Webster by my new husband who has been a patient of his for over 20 years. Dr Webster is a kind, caring Doctor. His nurse Cindy is so sweet. I have had lab work completed and the lab tech was professional, kind and caring as well. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend him. Dr. Webster returns phone calls and it is very easy to schedule an appointment.

Dr Breeling and his staff are THE BEST! He's been my doctor for almost 20yrs now and I cant imagine having any other doctor. He's s down to earth guy that takes time to explain things to you if you don't understand. I can usually call and get an appt pretty quick. They ALWAYS return my calls and follow up. Great people!
