List 8 Doctor of Medicine (MD) near Tulare, CA (part 2)

Abe McPherson I was referred here through the military (active duty) back in 2020. I went in for an appointment and was told I need to have surgery on my deviated septum, this would be my third surgery on the same thing. I have called quarterly for the past three years and the extremely rude staff says I’m next on the list for their scheduling. I’ve already moved out of state so the surgery isn’t happening. If this man is too busy, tired or just doesn’t want to do his job, he should refer his patients to some one else. I will be notifying tricare of his poor service, communication and treatment as this has been completely unacceptable.

herb keener This guy must have all he can handle, I have the worst earache I have had in my life I had been to urgent care they diagnosed infected ear gave me anti biotics my doc said everything looks good so I needed someone that knew about the ear issue all I got from them was lame excuses why they could not see me. Do not bother these people they do not have time for you.

Jim Ingram My wife was referred to him for possible sleep apnea. She saw the Dr for 5 minutes and went in overnight sleep study. She was told by the office they would call when the results were ready. After repeated calls to the office the response was always the same. After a couple of months a medical supply company tried to deliver equipment. Still no diagnosis or call from the doctor. She has continued to have issues but after this horrible experience she wont go see another ENT. It has been 4 years and still nothing from Dr Smith. If you want to get help please go elsewhere.

Genesis Steinline Complete miscommunication on both front and back staff at this establishment. I have been waiting over three months for a referral for a CT scan. I was advised my insurance denied the request, yet they could not provide a date the request was sent nor the date of denial. I inquired as to why I had not been notified and no answer was provided. Sending out billings sure is fast on their end. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Dr. Lonnie should reevaluate his hiring procedure to ensure he hires competent assistants; its about quality not quantity.

Kimmy H From the front desk - MAs - Dr. Smith they are all awesome! Dr. Smith, were able to establish rapport with my 9yo that is definitely terrified seeing a Doctor. They were efficient. Im not sure where the negative reviews are coming from. At least my experience is supreme!

Roman I lost my job at calf tech because of these people, the most disrespectful staff in all Tulare, they dont even deserve minimum wage, I hope everyone staff member here gets evaluated by a Superior staff who knows how to conduct a real job. They made me take my hat and boots off and forced me to empty my pockets and made me feel like a prisoner with no human rights. I do not recommend this place , thank u for making me lose my job, how am I going to support my son and pay rent and bills now? Thanks alot .

Lawrence James Great patient care staff

Anonymous Horrible place, the doctor looked like he was high working on clients and this was multiple times and all the workers seemed to not care, also a very dirty and unsanitary place. They really should be inspected. Would not recommend to anyone!!!

Ash Na Unprofessional, came first made me the last to get the TB test done. They dont let anyone to use the bathroom.

Rosalva Comstock Great customer service.

George Ruano Rivera Had me wanting for 1 month for the appointment I go inn for my appointment just to tell me they won’t take my insurance they don’t have any experience for nothing

Sheila Griego Appointment are made months in advance and once you sign in at the office it it at least a two hour wait before even seen by the doctor. This man has no bedside manner or respect for his patients. His office staff is also very rude and inconsiderate of anyones actual health. I wouldnt waste any of your time even thinking about scheduling to see him.

Diego Corvera Staff was very pleasant, I was able to schedule my procedure within a couple weeks of the consult. Doctor was timely on the day of the procedure and the healing process went on as expected with no complications. A follow up appointment was scheduled promptly and additional follow up were performed per industry practice. I would recommend this doctor.

D Brooks So, I started this review as I sat in the waiting room for 45 minutes. My appointment was at 3:00 for a vasectomy consultation. Upon arriving on time, I signed in, and then it took 15 minutes before someone acknowledged I was there. They then gave me some new patient paperwork to complete, which took 5 to 10 minutes to finish. I finally get called and placed in a room. The atmosphere is eerily quiet. There was one employee training another on the paperwork, so they were asking me a bunch of questions. After the staff completed their paperwork, I waited for the doctor. After 75+ minutes, I finally get seen by the doctor. He looks at my junk for 30 seconds and says I can schedule the procedure with the front desk. Completely unorganized with no regard for patients time. ***Update*** The vasectomy appointments are 4 to 6 weeks out and are completed on Fridays. I schedule my appointment and 2 days prior I receive a call from their office. The lady is was confirming my appointment, she then proceeds to tell me that I have a $120 copayment, only payable in cash and is due prior to the service. I questioned the amount because I had already reached out to my insurance to inquire about my cost, and I was told its 100% covered. She tells me that is what my insurance told her was my copayment. Fine, I paid it, got a receipt, and what do you know, when I got my explanation of benefits (EOB) from my insurance it was 100% covered. I had to go down to their office to get a refund. I stick to my previous statement "Completely unorganized with no regard for patients time".

JENNIFER GRIJALVA All about money and not the well being of patients. Rushes through your visit and doesn’t allow to talk about anything but what you called for. Cuts appointments short if your appointment is taking too long. Was in there with the doctor for 5 mins and was told he has other patients and to make another appointment

Amanda Volz Fantastic doctors. Very informative and helpful however they turn their phone forwarding system on hours before closing. I’ve called three hours before close and get hung up on. Our pediatrician told us to call with any questions or concerns after my son was diagnosed and after calling for two days I couldn’t do so. Not everyone has the availability to drive across town to speak to someone in office.
