Doctors’ Day 2023
We are so lucky to have our wonderful Boca Grande Clinic. I personally feel extremely lucky that Dr. Ray James is a physician at our clinic. Over the last few years, he has been a wonderful caregiver to me. He is always available to answer questions along with making wonderful...
Have been visiting BG for over 30 years, never needing clinic until this year. Had a minor issue, visited and was treated by Dr. Haly and her staff. Cannot say enough good things about their concern , care and follow up from the 4 or 5 times I was seen....
We moved to the island January 1999 and one of our big reasons was the Clinic for health care. We have never been disappointed with any health care from the Clinic. They have been available any time we have needed them and Doctors, Nurses and staff have been very helpful...
Following an orthopedic procedure my knee became infected. I was put on an antibiotic by that doctor but was not getting better. When I could not reach the orthopedic surgeon I became worried and called the Clinic. Dr. Haly was able to see me. She gave me a stronger antibiotic....
This is not a story. It is pure unadulterated truth: without the Clinic, including all our excellent physicians and the outstanding support staff, there is no way we could live on this special island. Gratitude is the first word that comes to mind. THANK YOU. (March 22, 2023)
It has been a real comfort and a privilege to have been cared for while I am in Florida by a physician with the expertise that Dr. Raymond James has. The Clinic and its Staff are a real benefit to Boca Grande. (March 22, 2023)
Dr. James has been such an amazing help to several members of our family and it is just such a comfort to know there is someone with his skill and compassion that we can count on when the need of great, at the Boca Grande Health Clinic. (March 22, 2023)
Dr.Bret Kueber is fantastic! We feel very confident in his diagnostic expertise!!! How lucky are we (and Boca Grande) to have him!!❤️ (March 21, 2023)
Three days before Ian we needed to move (no generator) my paralyzed husband to our nephew's (new with generator) home three blocks away. Three nurses came, used the lift and put him in the wheelchair and walked him from 10th and Palm To 7th and Palm. Then Drs. James and...
A simple thanks for the clinic doctors who are dedicated to helping all of us living and visiting Boca Grande. You are appreciated and we, who need you variously, are grateful. (March 21, 2023)
The Minute I walked into the Clinic and met Dr. Haly , I knew I Had a Great Dr!! Since then She has had to Put up with a Boring but Hurtful Bacteria. That will not seem to let go of me! She has been diligent and Patient I’m Beyond...
I recall that during the height of the pandemic, one of the doctors willing to meet with patients in person -- rather than only via Zoom -- was Dr. James. He clearly understood the oath he took when he became a doctor which is to do all in his powers...
As an octogenarian managing increasingly complex health directives I am fortunate to believe and trust that Doctor James is “my” doctor, and I am “his” patient. It is not easy to establish a personal relationship in which a “wisecracking snowbird” feels seen and understood and valued. Dr. James and all...
I had a heart attack and cardiac arrest. Immediately upon arriving at the hospital, my body temperature was lowered to the mid 30 degrees. 24 hours later I was thawed. And I lived with few ramifications. Importantly, because my son-in-law provided artificial respiration immediately and constantly until EMS arrived 7...
Thanks and praise to Dr. James. Very compassionate and has the three As. Able, Affable and Available. (March 21, 2023)
I’m a 5-6 week visitor in Jan-Feb and this year was ordered by my cardiologist in Cincinnati to “get a couple things checked out.” I was the “trouble-maker from Cincinnati” (actually Oxford, OH) according to the receptionist after a couple of visits. I was GRATEFUL for the kind, courteous and...
I’d like to express my appreciation for Dr. James and Dana who treated me during a recent bout with double pneumonia. I would also like to express my appreciation for the radiology equipment at the clinic. It was so nice to be able to have pictures taken on the island...
Doctor Bret Kueber is an excellent Physician but even better, he is a true friend! His knowledge of healthcare far exceeds any I have received in my life and I'm 72 years old. He is a kind and caring person and truly has the Patient's best interest in mind! Happy...
After a devastating diagnosis, Dr. James was so helpful with consulting physicians and sincerely cared about my prognosis. He helped me get through it. I love coming to the clinic. The staff are kind and thorough. (March 20, 2023)
When Hebe and I came back last fall. While traveling I missed a step on our airplane and put a six inch gash on my shin. Long, deep bleeding, ugly. Arrived on island and called after hours and got Dr.Haly who was on call but her first night. Oops you...
Hats off to the present staff of MDs!! They are warm, friendly, and best of all knowledgable in their field. However, I have great memories of being cared for by Dr. Ervin. And, greeted by his dog!! The Clinic is an asset to the Island beyond words!! Don't stop doing...
My husband and I first met Dr. Raymond James and his wife Kathy as neighbors on Carrick Bend Lane a couple of years ago. The day we moved into our new home there, they arrived with a "welcome" basket and an invitation for us to join them on the beach...
It’s rare, these days, to find an Internist who is very knowledgeable and friendly at the same time! DR. HALY is both.This appointment was the first time I’d met her. She is a good listener and seemed genuinely interested in wanting to find out what was causing my pain. I...
I got up one morning and went downstairs...took my dog Ben out...and while standing outside I started sweating profusely. I barely got back inside and went in and laid down. My wife called the clinic when they opened and they said come right in. Dr. James had reviewed symptoms and...
I have been a patient of Dr. James for only a few years, but his expertise, concern and caring nature have made an indelible impression on me. The entire staff has always been caring and supportive. Dr. James carries on this tradition in a truly professional and caring manner. (March...
I have working on Boca Grande for seven years now and how lucky I have been to call Dr.Raymond James my primary doctor for these past years at the Boca Grande Health Clinic. Dr. Raymond James has always spent the needed time with me in addressing my issues I came...
I have been dealing with an autoimmune issue for at least three years. Dr. Haly has been so helpful. She never gives up. When Dr. Ervin retired and Dr. Haly came to the clinic I thought having a women Dr would work for me and I haven’t been disappointed. My...
Over the twenty plus years that I have lived here the clinic has had many very good doctors but Dr. Raymond James is outstanding. As a retired physician myself I have been impressed with his breadth of knowledge and how quickly he understands the problem. I very much appreciate his...
Dr Haly is our new doctor to the clinic. I scheduled an annual visit with her and she was simply delightful and very professional . As we sat down to discuss my health and recommendations, Dr Haly proceeded to go over all my previous records from up north. She in...
We are so appreciative of all the great work the BGHC doctors and staff do for us! You are the BEST. (March 1, 2023)
I am at the Clinic on such a regular basis, usually for ailments associated with old age, that I am on a first name basis with the staff. The staff and doctors are terrific with both treatment and explanations of what went wrong, why it happened and what to expect....
First we should say that everyone at the clinic could not be more helpful and kind. It is deeply appreciated. Dr. James has been taking care of us and while we enjoy good health, for those times we need him he is there for us. His hands on care and...
Where else can you call for an appointment to check out a sore knee, be offered a time the next day, get a Rx from Dr. James for physical therapy, get a call from PT while on the way home in your golf cart and receive your first PT session...
I love it when Dr. James comes into the patient room after knocking (why do they knock ??) in his cowboy boots. I know he's having a good day !!!! Just sayin. (March 1, 2023)
Dr. Emily Haly is fabulous! She takes time to talk to and get to know her patients. My interactions with Dr. Haly have been rewarding and helpful. I am so happy that she has joined the BGHC! Jane Caple (March 1, 2023)
We can't say enough good things about the clinic doctors, nurses and staff. Especially during Covid they were a beacon of comfort and reassurance. I remember as a child when the doctor made house calls. The clinic provides that same sense of small-town compassion and care. And we love Dr....
Greatly miss Dr. Ervin. However, the clinic continues to staff MDs who are knowledgeable in their field. In plain English-----Darn Good Doctors!! Same goes for supporting staff!! Len (March 4, 2023)
Doctors Tom Ervin and Ray James saved my wife Nancy’s life. I submitted a letter to the editor at The Beacon acknowledging Tom, on his retirement. This is my opportunity to do the same for Ray. Dedication, steadfast support for Nancy and caring — by both of them! True assets...
