Me and my husband had been to 3 doctors before we had seen Dr. Mason. My husband had Gout in his Right Big Toe that is what the first Doctor told us. After a week and no results. He was hospitalized for another week, no results. Each time he was sent home with a aspirin. Thank God for Dr Mason he knew something was wrong right away and when he sent my husband to the hospital this time he was taken care of. Dr. Mason did not hesitate in getting my husband to right place he needs to go. Please if you are looking for a caring Primary Dr. Choose Dr. Mason!!!!

Dr. Mason was rude and wouldn’t let me ask questions. He actually left the exam room and closed the door behind himself while I was talking to him. This happened twice.

Dr Mason is the best possible choice for primary care physician. He is extremely knowledgeable and is caring and kind. We were very fortunate to have found him when we moved to Sarasota.

I moved from Boston MA to FL and was really nervous I wouldn't find a doctor like I had. I am so blessed to have found Dr. Mason, He has helped me and figured out the proper tests I needed when the specialist didn't! I owe him a lot and he is an amazing doctor I totally trust! Highly recommended

Dr Mason is the epitome of a well trained, caring, thoughtful and helpful physician. I was just in the office for a cortisone injection in my shoulder. Everyone I spoke with before I had my appointment told me how painful the injection would be. I was surprised at there being no pain whatsoever. He was gentle and explained the whole time he was administering the injection. I won't hesitate to recommend Sarasota Medical Center and Dr Mason or Dr Aristimuno to anyone needing medical attention.

Doctor Mason is a credit to the medical profession. He is an astute, well trained professional who is very bright, insightful, and thorough. He is also kind, considerate and has a great deal of concern and respect not only for the well being of his patients but also for their time. He runs a very efficient, well staffed facility and I have always found his team to demonstrate the same positive characteristics of Dr Mason himself. He and his staff are the absolute best Sarasota has to offer

After hurricane Irma Dr. Mason went the extra mile for me. I highly recommend Sarasota Medical Center to all in need of medical care and treatment. I have been a patient there since 2008, and have received excellent 5 star treatment. Thank you to all of the staff at both the Siesta Key and Bee Ridge offices. Steve Lanoue

Dr. Mason and Sarasota Medical Center is one of the most professional places I have ever been to. Dr. Mason really listens to what you have to say, and provides the necessary treatment that you need. I highly recommend this place. Also, there is usually just a 5 minute wait to see the doctor, which is a blessing when you do not feel well. I hope that Dr. Mason is my doctor for a very long time; he is very positive and nice also, which seems to be a rare quality in a doctor today. His staff is very professional too.
