The Best 10 highly rated medical facilities near Sonora, CA

Sharon Barker This clinic is pretty good. It has gone downhill since being taken over by Adventist Health, but I still will give high rating for the Doctors and office staff. They provide the best treatments they can within the corporate bureaucratic milieu. They offer consistent and compassionate care to people who wouldnt have any options in Tuolumne County. It is hard to find anyone that accepts Medi-Cal with the mountains of red tape required in this Brave New World".

Crazyduckmom The doctor there is horrible. She does not listen to her patients. She tells them that she doesn’t have time for them that they are not a priority to her absolutely horrible place.

Genessa Christian What a joke Dr RETHERFORD needs to stick to primary care instead of using his patients as lab rats! He needs to remember His Hippocratic oath the most important one “DO NO HARM”! I had a friend you wanted to get clean and was going to see Dr. Retherford. Well he had a few relapses and this guy cut him loose. Needless to say the friend almost died and is struggling to say the least! Dr. RETHERFORD is a joke and uneducated in the field of MAT( maintenance assisted treatment.) Please if you have a loved one wanting help go anywhere but here. His policies for relapse are ridiculous. They are made to suit him and his so called success rate. He does not understand the disease of addiction. If he did he would face these problems head on, instead of just writing people off! Remember these are desperate people reaching their weary hands out for help.

Eve Kelly Horrible place with horrible service. Nice Dr, terrible policies. I went in for a pap smear. After the pap they were concerned with results and wanted a follow up but the only opening they had was months out. I was concerned about cervical cancer but waited. Days before my appointment I got a voicemail saying there were inconsistencies with my insurance so theyd canceled my appointment. I called immediately and they told me there were issues with my coverage. I told them Id fix it but they said the appointment was already canceled and it would be yet another month. I fixed my insurance and days before my next appointment they canceled that one too!! Apparently they hadnt registered my insurance fix, but without a chance they just canceled it! At this point, I was so distressed and scared, and crying on the phone with the the receptionist. All she had to tell me was that it wasnt her fault, rudely. I called tuolumne me-wuk health center and got an appointment within the week. The people there are really caring and professional and Im so relieved theres one decent place to go in town.

Angie Laughlin Wow, the negatives I read really blow my mind. I have never had those experiences! I must have been seeing Salas over 15 yrs now. She is the most experienced & knowledgeable doctor I have ever met. She has guided and solved tons of mysteries with my very complicated body and lots of painful diseases. I have Fibromyalgia, Scoliosis, Neuropathy, CRPS, plus many many more. She has given me tons of demonstrations of movement ans stretches for many painful situations..Lots of healthy alternative supplements and things to do for issues. I got meds also when needed. I referred many friends to here who adore her. I am sorry for anyone who had a bad experience with Salas. All I can say is, perhaps there was a miscommunication or confusion that occurred. Some of your complaints sounded like a staff problem. That is not her. The hospital gives her the staff. She does not hire them. She does get many trainees. I have been upset with some of them also. Just never Salas. I wish those of you better luck. I am most grateful for Salas in my life.

Michael Anderson Dr. Salas is discriminatory and unethical in her practice. She requires a list of medications prior to accepting you into her practice and will deny medical care to patients based on her preference towards any prescribed and legally obtained medications that you may be taking. She does all of this without so much as speaking to you or trying to understand your unique health needs. At this practice you are reduced to a set of symptoms and a list of medications and not treated as a human with unique and individual needs.

Deanna Taaffe I highly recommend her. All good experiences.

Twisted Tea The worst experience ever, its horrible. So unorganized, no communication. I honestly dont know how that office is open honestly. Dr Salas and her staff made so many mistakes on my disability papers and I feel she wrote on them what she wanted not what was actually going on made up stuff, and after almost 4 months of seeing this lady they call me and tell me they cant see me because of my insurance all of a sudden. Well maybe the front desk when they took my insurance cards should have did there job in the first place. This place is a joke.

Kim Cruson Agree with the person who said she will drop you if you disagree with her. She is not open to discussion. The moment I started to advocate for myself, she sent me a letter saying I was no longer her patient. Thankfully I immediately found a doctor ten times her consequence. Avoid this doctor.

Bruce Lodge The operations and policies of this clinic are poor at best. Dr. Lo however is really good. Ive listed her as my Primary Care Physician since 2013. When she left her previous practice in 2015 (+/-) I followed Dr. Lo to this provider clinic. None of this history matters to those running this program. Today I was told that I was now considered a "new patient", that Dr. Lo was not accepting any "new patients" and I would therefore be scheduled to see their new PA. It was explained to me that I had not seen Dr Lo since 2016, therefore I had lost my "current patient" status. It was never explained to me prior that in order to maintain active status I would need to see her at least once a year. The reason I have not seen Dr Lo is because Ive been healthy enough over the years to not need her care for any significant or chronic health conditions. My only needs for a doctor have been relatively minor emergent conditions that warranted immedite care. When Ive called for an appointment (at least 6 times over the last 3 years) Ive been told every time that it would be 7 - 10 days before they could take me. Which, in the case of one-off illnesses, minor sports or work injuries etc does me no good. So I would go to the local Adventist system prompt care and be seen within an hour or two. So... in order to maintain ones "current patient" status you need to see their doctor at least a couple times a year, but they will make it next to impossible to get you an appointment within a time frame that will actually benefit the condition you need to see a doctor for. If you are chronically unhealthy and need to been seen regularly, your good. If you are really healthy and rarely need to see a doctor, they may toss you at their first opportunity. It appears they are trying to build the patient load of thier new Assistant or PA or whatever he his. If youre cool with something less than a real Doctor, go for it. Otherwise, good luck seeing a real Dr. through this provider.

Lillis Dan (Dano the mano) Caring staff. Ive never had an issue here. I have spent a lot if time here too due to thyroid problems. Im doing fantastic now!

T C My primary NP is Deborah G., so this is not my first time receiving treatment at this location. I was experiencing vertigo with an elevated blood pressure. I went to urgent care and the ER without finding out the problem. On Monday, May 23, 2022 I went to Me Wuk in Tuolumne. I saw NP Deborah, she checked my ears, somfething they did not do at the ER visit. She recommended high blood pressure medication, and having other area checked out. Last was my prescription for my ear infection. As of Tuesday still charting my chart. I didnt get my prescription called in until Wednesday, 2 days later for an ear infection. I was not pleased with how long this took.

kathy spires I have been a patient at both the Tuol.and Greenley clinic. They both are very good. The biggest issue is that the two wonderful, patient friendly and efficient doctors have left. It is sad that the turnover is so quick.

Rachel Owsley Amazing staff. Dr. Lo is great and listens to her patients and made me feel very comfortable.

Stacia Erckenbrack I’m hoping that they improve their emergency response. I know they help a lot of people in their counseling sessions, but when it comes to triaging people that are a danger to themselves and others, they let them walk even after the doctor the sheriff and everybody family is screaming at them, even after somebody attempts to kill them self literally Cutting their wrist they will let them walk only an hour and a half after their stitched up. Truth(both wrists): No oversight. They are in charge of theirselves. Horrible and dangerous waste of time and money even having them come in to triage the patient

Nyah If you ever see anyone there make sure it’s not Sarah. She showed up to my house 3-4 hours after my appointment And would not leave until the police were called. She started saying that I was unsafe and tried to convince my parents that I was trying to end my life when I didn’t even know her and didn’t speak to anyone about ending my life. (the appointment was to meet a new therapist ). Genuinely a scary experience and I’m thankful it’s all recorded. They have not taken any action against her. Don’t go there unless you want unwanted visitors showing up at 10 pm.

drea cooper Worst Mental Health Care Ever. If you dont have appointments with them (even if your not told to schedule and appointment) they will refuse to fill your prescriptions (with zero regard for how that affects your mental health) and blame you for the issue. Not only that they expect you to reestablish as a Client in order to prove your are eligible for services. During services not one person listened to my opinion or seems to care about your meds or diagnosis. The mental health program is a joke here, dont waste your time.

Ash Long I was assigned a case manager after I tried to unalive myself. I called 2 times and left her messages, didnt get a call back. Then 6 months later she left me a voice mail saying she didnt think I needed services and she was closing my case. She didnt speak to me directly at all. Thanks a lot for literally nothing.

C If youre on the mental health diversion program do not open up to these people tell them what they want to hear because they will condemn you no matter what so my advice is to the new people that are doing mental health diversion dont open up about your life because theyll use it against you and keep you in the system tell them what they want to hear so you can move on and do better with your life because theyre not bettering anybodys life but hindering it along with this county literally I was just passing through Thursday lost everything here in tuolumne county and Ive been stranded here 3 years doing their program struggling whenever Im a transmit that makes more than five dollars an hour because of this county health
