Has anyone been to the Coastal Family Practice & Acute Care Center on 30A in Seacrest? If so, would you recommend them? We are locals looking for a new healthcare provider. Looks like this practice is run by a nurse practitioner. Thanks much.

My mom and I both use her as our primary care and I use her for my two teenagers as well. Carmel Hawkins is the Nurse practitioner but they are under a Dr. Lent. Her daughter Brittany is the nurse who takes your blood and such. I started going to her when she worked at the Seagrove clinic years ago and then she opened her own office in Grayton and now she is in the Alexander building. I LOVE Carmel. She is easy to talk to and she actually LISTENS to what you are telling her. I have Lupus and my previous Dr. kept acting like I was pill shopping and I got to where I was ashamed or embarassed to even say anything was wrong when I had several things wrong. Carmel listened to what I had to say, ran the appropriate tests and confirmed I had Lupus and put me on a Lupus management program and I have been doing so much better ever since. I would recommend her to anyone. Her prices are very reasonable as well.

Love Carmel and all the staff there. I agree with Night Angel, that she is so easy to talk to and really cares about what you have to say. She has a very common sense approach to healthcare and all of that is so rare to find!
