List 9 Doctor of Medicine (MD) near Chico, CA (part 3)

Sara Nall A few weeks ago, we had to put our cat down. From the first call I made to Valley Oak, I felt welcomed and understood. When we got there with our cat, he threw up all over the waiting area and the techs cleaned up everything. The service to get him diagnosed was quick, yet thorough. We made the difficult decision and the vet and tech were very sympathetic and understanding. Although letting go of our fur baby was incredibly difficult, the vet made the process as easy as she could for us. Today we received a sympathy card in the mail, which had a personalized note written. It was unexpected, but so very appreciated. Thank you for helping us through a very difficult time.

B Miichi This place is very confusing. It has an emergency office visit price of $170, that is a visit only, not the vet doing anything at all, I had to pay extra for the actual action of the vet doing something to my cat. I understand extra for diagnostics, blood, ct scans, etc, but I dont understand what the price intales. Even though its an emergency, I had to make an emergency appointment and was not seen till 1 hour after the " emergency apt." I cant imagine this happening to a suffering pet. I imagine this to be a good last resort emergency vet.

pamela samuelson Super disappointed in this particular service. They charged us $53.00 for a nail trimming on an 8 week old pom puppy. She is too young to go to a groomers so I figured this would be a good alternative. Never did I imagine it would cost what we pay to have our full grown pom professionally groomed. Especially since she is already on a plan where her office visits are already paid for. Unfortunately after paying that crazy amount I had to take of her nails (with a doggie nail grinder)when I returned home because they were left sharp with little edges that snagged on stuff. Although I appreciate the knowledge of the Doctors of this Vet. I do not recommend this service.

Keegan Nazari I had to take my cat in last night. She was hit by a car and I found her dead in the street. I didn’t really know what to do so I called them. They told me to go ahead and bring her in for cremation. Once I got there I asked if they could scan her microchip just to make sure it was her. Just in case. They did. While scanning she had some muscle spasms. I asked if they could just make sure she was really dead just in case. I didn’t want her to suffer anymore if she was somehow still alive. They took her back and confirmed she was dead. No heartbeat. I had intended to sit in my car with her a little bit after the scan, but wasn’t able to do that before taking her back. I wasnt quite ready to let go yet and I asked if I could sit with her for a little bit and were really compassionate. They set me up in a room, checked on me, comforted me, and allowed me to take my time saying goodbye. I didn’t get anyone’s name since it was all kind of a blur. But it was the staff who was there around 7 pm on Sunday the 17th. Every single one of the them were so kind, calm, comforting, and compassionate. I really appreciate what yall do. So thank you.

Alisha Hall Took this business two weeks for them to tell me their doctors do not feel comfortable taking on my case. It’s not a complicated case just need to restart my medications after insurance changing. Called at least 4 times to have no one pick up on hold for 15 plus minutes. Must be meant to be.

catherine skillin My elderly mother is under the care Tiffany Carlson. I am a registered nurse and I can you from a clinical and medical standpoint this clinician is top-notch! She has been caring for my mother for quite a few years and my mother recently had an acute hospitalization and was followed up by Tiffany Carlson, again. I could not have been more pleased in her attentiveness, skills and medical follow-up! She was and is very thorough! Also, her staff and her medical assistant are top notch.

Jacquelyn Appel Do not use this provider unless you want to be balanced billed due to them incorrectly billing your insurance. They are in-network as well, so its illegal for them balance bill.

Dennis Will When you have a place that has a lot of doctors it gets busy. You have to understand that. With that being said, I don’t see what everybody is negative about the staff has been nothing. Short of amazing to me and my wife! the manager is a very sweet lady! The ladies at the front are always willing to help and always go the extra mile! The woman named Jennifer is from Tennessee, and she really brings a light and energy to this place! If you’ve had a bad experience before I recommend that you go back and give it another shot just be considerate of others because everybody has to see the doctor and there’s a lot of them! Be kind and courteous, and it’ll come back to you!

Britteny Jenkins This office deserves zero stars. Absolutely horrible customer service. Dr. Huffman does NOT care about patient needs. I’ve encountered a few issues where I was seen 1.5 hours after my scheduled appointment time. I requested to see my Ultrasound results and was told they would refuse releasing my results until I completed labs. I advocated for myself and doctors DO NOT like to be pulled. I would never recommend this office to anyone. DO NOT EVER go to this office. Doctors don’t care and staff are rude.

BJjr2 McGillicuddy Enloe radiology REFUSED to send my pulmonologist at UCSF the images of my chest X-ray. Even though she was the ordering physician. They said their radiologist have to read it and they will only send my Ucsf physician a copy of the report. This is unacceptable! I would advise everybody to get their care out of town and avoid Enloe at all costs. Plus, they were very rude about it.

Kayla Christensen On 07/18/2022 I had my very first Ultrasound appointment. I was able to see my baby for the very first time. I was alone, scared, and not sure what to expect since this is my first baby. I believe my Tech was Amy D. The only complaint I have is that she set the bar WAY too high. She is absolutely amazing at what she does. Ive been going to a different specialty clinic for my fetal growth US ever since and Ive been nothing but disappointed with the services I have received by techs that lack any and all passion for what they do. This is my first baby and likely the only baby I will be having I wish others in your field realized or cared about how special these moments are when a parent gets to see their baby. You did realize this, Amy! thank you so much for your excitement and passion. Thank you for being the tech that gave me the very first view of my beautiful baby girl. I didnt realize how lucky I was that I was able to have you as a tech. I wish you could have followed me and baby bean through this entire journey!

Andrea Slade I was really suprised with my 20 week anatomy scan here. Ive been really looking forward to it and I was hardly able to see my baby. I felt completely dismissed and left in tears. Some guy training was brought in and poked around my stomach with out my prior knowledge or agreement. Considering the wonderful experience I had two years ago with my daughter I was quite shocked. I hope I have another opportunity to see her since the technician robbed me of that moment.

Carol Dolan Frist they got appointment time wrong then rude about it. They refused to do MRI because they wouldnt take the time to check with anyone who knows it was okay to do Very Unprofessional and unwilling to get the information needed to do there job. They Wasted my time and my gas. Im in pain and needed the MRI Bottom line very rude and uncaring for To their patients

Dorothy Kennedy While this could have been a very positive experience, it was not due to a very poorly managed front office. I was told when I signed in that the wait would be 20-25 minutes. 1 1/2 hours later I was called up and told they had lost my orders. They asked me to call my doctor to ask them to fax a copy. The X-ray techs couldn’t have been nicer or gentler. When I asked for an Enloe feedback card, she couldn’t find one! Hope it gets better.

Audra Hufford Had a visit Monday for my daughter who was determined to have a viral ear infection. Amoxacillan was prescribed but never sent to the pharmacy. I called twice over 4 hours after the appointment to get the prescription sent, a nurse said they were really busy and will send it when they can. Waited at the pharmacy the 4 hours after the appointment to still not have it sent. Called the pharmacy yesterday-still no prescription sent. Called the pharmacy again today and still no prescription sent. Called NVIH after hours, spoke with someone regarding the prescription and she was able to send it right away from her file. I hope this never happens to someone else. My daughter has been in pain and Ive been doing the best I can to keep it managed for her. I dont understand why the medication is on her chart but was never sent as a prescription. Do better.

Casey A Always a great experience for us. We take our 2 year old and now our newborn here. We love Bill, NP and highly recommend him. He answers every question no matter how small and makes sure we feel prepared for the next developmental stage. Every time I call with a concern, it is either answered or returned the same day. I’ve never had a problem getting in same day for urgent concerns. Highly recommend going here. The new facility is impressive, clean and welcoming. All the staff has been great too.

Jane Wood I have had a positive experience with NVIH and feel my child receives quality care here. I think they have been thorough, knowledgeable, and responsive. A majority of the nurses and staff we have encountered have been professional and courteous. I am surprised and sorry to see some of the negative reviews.

ginerationx2 Dr. Tedford is our daughters Dr. And he is very nice. But we have been rescheduled 3 times for her 2nd birthday visit. Today we showed up for it with no phone call to reschedule and was told we have to reschedule. Whats the point of having a good dr if you cant ever see him. Switching providers and highly DO NOT recommend this provider!

Lisa Creamer This review is about the childrens mobile dental clinic. Our daughter had the most terrifying incident happen to her yesterday. Besides the fact the dentist didnt let us know we couldnt be next to her for her first filing, besides the fact that they said she was difficult because she kept crying, saying it hurt. The numbed her using septocaine, which for most children is fine. My daughter has anxiety when she is not with us, and she also had a reaction to the septocaine. She was in the chair for maybe 5 minutes, and then they called me back to talk to me. My daughter was crying and gagging, and they wouldnt let her get up. The chair was slanted so bad she said she was feeling like she was falling off. I brought my daughter back up to the front after they said they couldnt work on her. My daughter started to vomit, and they said they didnt have any sick bags and we had to go outside. So I took her down the steps, and she started vomiting and got shakey and really pail. I immediately took her back inside and asked the nurse to call an ambulance because my daughter was crashing. The dentist told her not to call and just go grab my things from outside. The dentist then noticed how pail my daughter was and about to pass out so we laid her down on the seat they had in front and while my daughter is laying flat on her back after vomiting she starts pouring gatorade into her mouth. I tried to stop her so I could raise my daughters head, but she wouldnt move and kept talking over me. Luckily, my daughter didnt choke while she did this. As my daughter slowly got color back to her face, the dentist was trying to reassure me this wasnt a reaction to the septocaine and was giving my daughter all kinds of stickers and toys. Im going to be filling a complaint with everyone I can. When a parent asks the nurse to call an ambulance, but the dentist tells her not to is beyond dangerous. As a concerned parent dealing with her child in a medical situation, I trusted that the nurse would listen to me and call the ambulance, but she failed my daughter and me. I did since research when I got home, and low blood pressure is an allergic reaction to septocaine. I even asked if the numbing stuff had epinephrine in it because that has a tendency to make the heart race and trigger anxiety. She assured me that septocaine didnt have epinephrine in it. She blatantly lied because thats one of the main chemical compounds in septocaine. So lied to me about the medicine she injected into my daughter and neglected to get her medical help when requested. Two really big medical no nos right there.
