The Best 13 highly rated medical facilities near Visalia, CA (Page 3)

Ms. Mé Of all the kaweah facilities urgent cares, I feel like this is the best one. Gets you in and out. Its not cluttered and congested - the time is reasonable and the place is clean. The doctors and staff are always good as well. Well urgent care as well too. But inlove getting in and out.

Deanna Youngquist My sister has autism and is very hard to work with in medical settings. Everyone here was so helpful and understanding. We came in on a Thursday morning around 8 and were seen within 20 minutes and they were patient with my sister and very empathetic for me as the caretaker. I’m definitely coming here again!

Joshua Day Great place. I established my Primary Care here recently with Dr. Martinez. Fantastic Dr., he took time to listen to all my history as well as answered all my questions. Recommend for sure. Rooms were clean, quick visit, great supporting staff.

Leslie Nicholls My husband was super sick. They got him in early next morning, very little wait time, and the PA (April) was excellent! Staff was also courteous and considerate. Not sure why there is so many negative comments. Always had great care here.

syd Avoid this place! I’ve literally never felt so degraded and judged in my life! The medical assistant took my vitals and went out to the the physician to tell her what the issue was. ( Note to the workers: we can hear you talking at your desks!) anyway.. I just hear the physician groan and say “uuuuugh” … Well I’m so sorry that me coming in here and my pain is such an inconvenience to you! At that point I already wanted to leave. But no she comes in the room right away and the first question she asks is “are you taking drugs from Mexico? If you are that’s ok” I get it, it’s her job to ask questions like that but first of all there’s a better, less offensive way, to ask that. Second, you can at least work your way up to assuming I’m on some type of drugs. And of course she continued to carry on like she actually cared. What a joke! The only thing I left with is a bill from my insurance and embarrassment. Apparently this clinic can’t do anything about anything. Just don’t go to this place. It’s definitely better to waste hours waiting at the urgent care and actually be treated like a person than going to this place. All the workers look and act like they hate their jobs. Except for the lady at the front desk, she was super nice.

Ryan Anderson I just had some dental work done yesterday at this location, and I can honestly say that the staff there was super polite and very professional. They helped me right away, were very honest & informative about my options, and treated me with respect. Dr. O and the dental assistants were all very kind, gentle, and went the extra mile to ensure I wouldnt be in pain or at risk of dry socket/infection. Today I feel great and am very much so looking forward to my next appointment with them. I cant and wont diminish any of the other reviewers experiences, but I can say with certainty that my experience was nothing like a lot of the reviews I see on this page. I have been to many dental offices and dealt with many dentists & dental assistants, but none of them come close to the kindness, gentleness, and professionalism that Dr. O and his assistants showed me yesterday. I honestly couldnt be happier with them and would have no problem recommending them to anyone looking for dental work in the Visalia area. Thanks Dr. O and associates! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Rune Smith Every time Ive gone im attended to very quickly. Staff is fast and friendly and they always help me out the best they can! Really love the convenience of being able to walk in, sometimes you have unplanned reasons for going and its so nice not having to wait for an appointment to become available.

Laura Godinez If I could give zero stars, I would. I’ve been to this clinic once this year, and I will not be returning. The PA who assisted me—an Asian male—prescribed me ibuprofen despite me informing him that I have CKD. He insisted it was safe and even claimed I don’t have CKD, despite the fact that I see my nephrologist, Dr. Javeq, every three months for my condition. If I didn’t have CKD, my eGFR wouldn’t be declining, and I wouldn’t need a specialist. During my visit, the PA spent no more than three minutes in the room. He didn’t ask about my symptoms—he simply walked in, told me I was negative for the flu, commented on my tonsils being enlarged, and prescribed steroids. The same thing happened last year when I came in, and once again, he prescribed ibuprofen. I’m genuinely concerned for the safety of patients receiving incorrect prescriptions here. This level of care is unacceptable.

sonia chavez The wait as a walk in patient is absolutely insane got here before 8am and its past 10 and still waiting. I Came in on an emergency for my son who is having some pain on this teeth and the wait is just ridiculous.

Emma Morales Took my daughter in to the walk-in and everyone was extremely nice from the guy at the front desk to the MA and Dr.Reyes. We were listened to, prescribed a medication all in less than 30 minutes.

Fortino Gonzalez They treated me and my son badly. The lady at front desk was disrespectful and was discriminating me and my son just because my son doesn’t have a social security number. They denied to attend my sons health because of that reason. Also with these actions they took his privilege to attend school and learn.

Joey Floriano Made a appoint for Friday staff schedule for Thursday. Doctor’s have poor bed side manor. I was and have been treated horribly. Was not informed of Doctor changes then refused to grant care I needed to get my prescription refilled. I can not recommend this place at all. Horrible service.

McCurry Shawn (Doogadaz) The team of doctors and nurses here always fantastic, they go above and beyond every time. However, there are two glaring issues with this family healthcare network location. First, the area is not the best. Im sure it helps a lot of people but its not the safest place. Secondly, the front desk/receptionist staff are comprised of the absolute worst people in the business. They 100% do not care in the slightest about you or your problems, jump to conclusions and are quick to blame the patient for their "mistakes" without knowing the whole story. (The story: After my doc has been on vacation, and my pharmacy requested the wrong dosage of medication the front office "girl" (because shes that immature) scolded me over the phone about "not requesting my medicine a week in advance" even though there were many other factors to several days of calling). If you have to go here because of your job or insurance it will be just fine but Id avoid coming here if you have any other options.

Mid-Life Otaku’s Told its policy to not fax paperwork for patients… to a facility that you referred me to… for surgery of cancer …. Had to be in today 1 week before my surgery my appointment was made at 3 I had to rush back to Visalia pay kinko’s 15 and fax my own medical release form. This entire clinic needs a state review due to failure to comply with HIPPA and medical negligence. 6 years I’ve had this cancer and only after I got a referral after begging family healthcare network for one to a endocrinologist did I get one 1 year later. I have cancer and I have to come her since they referred me and now you can’t fax my paperwork ? This place is a nightmare and a casino for doctors to make money off the poor. Get a PPO peeps it’s 600 a month but at least I can see someone who didn’t graduated by their teeth

Mari T This place is not good unless you have the time to waste because they don’t respect appointments at all. They have no respect for peoples time. How are you going to call and ask if we can come in early just to have us wait 40 minutes before even getting called back. Last time it was 30 minute wait.

Bobbi J Horrible horrible experience! My husband cut the tip of his finger off and they stored it in a paper bowl with ice. They left it sitting for 6 hours in watered down ice and he was transferred to a Fresno where they said they could have saved it but the way the stored it they can’t. Also they took his blood and just left the bikes and never took them.

Sergio Best hospital EVER!

Larry Smith He explained everything well. I do think the office could work just a bit on clarity of instructions. Specifically, about the timing of the procedure...its important to make sure everyone is on the same page. The office was not bad, but I did feel there was a bit of lack of communication. Nonetheless, I believe he is the only rectal surgeon in Tulare County, and I am happy he serves this area with his skill set. I do believe he cares about his patients. I also found the nurses at the facility to be very caring and professional. I would recommend him.

Shera Fagundes My husband was scheduled for a colonoscopy at 11:15. Not being able to eat the entire day before and day of is always difficult. He got a call at 10:45 to let him know to show up at 11:45 instead. When we arrived at 11:45 we were told the procedures were 2-3 hours behind schedule. I wonder if the doctor would have still done the procedure if my husband was 2-3 hours late for his appointment? We left and will be finding anouther doctor.

BRIAN ELMORE After telling Dr Ota of my previous bad experiences with Gastroenterologists was very considerate of my needs and expectations. I would recommend Dr Ota to anyone.

Stephanie C They do NOT know what they are doing here, so if you need timely help, look elsewhere. They will have you going around the mulberry bush so many times… you could probably go through medical school and get your own degree in less time!

Kristin Medrano Dr. Johnson is an amazing MD! His compassionate care, deep expertise, and genuine dedication to improving patient well-being sets him apart. Dr. Johnson takes the time to listen, explain, and ensure every concern is addressed, making you feel valued and confident in the care he provides. It’s rare to find a physician as thorough and kind-hearted. Highly recommended!

Micaela Soria I had a good experience here. The wait time was a little long but it was a Saturday and overall, I’m very happy with my visit to this clinic. The doctors and nurses were friendly, thorough, and they even have X-ray services on-site to help diagnose my issue. Thank you!

Yvonne Enriquez Dr. Johnson is so patient and very attentive. He goes above and beyond. He is so sweet and caring. I have never been disappointed or felt unheard at the office.

Renee Curry The people working there have no idea what they are doing. I been calling almost every other day to try to solve a problem that I was put in. What ever training they got is honestly dog shit. Most of them had attitude and just trying to get this over with. I couldnt get their names. But thanks for being useless. Im so disappointed that the government could hire just anyone. We need people that would be willing to help the customers. If you dont like answering calls you are in the wrong place of business. Tulare CO health and human services you really need to do better.

zach nelsen i dont understand how they are this incompetent. My child has had to miss 3 rounds of immunization because they cant seem to keep anything straight, input wrong numbers, wrong addresses, wrong incomes, then make you wait on hold for who knows how long, this is day 4 hour 3 for me currently as i type this. place should be bombed. i have the taxes paper trail, YOURE the ones who are wrong. will they fix it this time, highly doubt, as their combined intellectual level is no further than hot chip, beat off, paycheck.

Jose Magadan I give them 3 ✨ s,cause I was helped lot faster than Tulare California, and at least workers treat you with lot more respect, Tulare California should be ashamed have workers talk to you bad,otherwise you trying explaining you well get kicked out program. Worthless and useless.

Love of Animals inc. Visalia CA It sounds like Im lucky since I havent yet had any experience with any of them. I think it is a very bad situation, when a DSS office is creating this many negative responses. I was just going to comment, that I can never get anyone on the phone. Just for general questions. Ive been calling every working day for a week and never get to talk to anyone. Are they that understaffed?

Macias Mercado Jessica (_mydearest_) I will be using a false name of Elliot for the sake of this comment. Mental health services were called to Elliots home, where Melinda arrived after Elliot had taken a handful of pills. I called in regard to this call and Melinda promised to call back after the crisis call she claimed to be on (ending our call at approximately 3pm). Hours later, Elliot was roaming the streets with cut up knuckles and Melinda arrived after police were on scene. Melinda refused to 5150 Elliot, even after Elliot admitted to their suicide attempt. Officers claimed Melinda had the final call for a 5150. Melinda refused to listen when Elliots entire family advocated for their need for mental health help and was rude to multiple family members when they attempted to advocate for Elliot. I am greatly disappointed in Melindas inadequacy and disregard for the law.

Julie Gonzalez I had my appointment for my nerve conduction test, the Dr was real nice & he was joking along with me as I was going through the test. I felt comfortable as can be considering there was discomfort for obvious reasons. The office was quiet & the receptionist was very nice.

Rita ceja I was so nervous after reading the reviews on Google. I had a very good experience. From the time I arrived the receptionist was very polite and helpful. Doctor Boota called me and let me know what he was going do. He reassured me I was going to have some discomfort. It was fast and easy. I did have some time discomfort but it didnt hurt at all. It is not at all what the reviews said. The test was fast. I was out and on my way. Thank you Dr. Boots and his staff.

Sora I had to call my clinic just to learn that I was referred here. The receptionists at this place are incompetent and slow. I waited 2, almost 3 whole months just to learn I was approved. Call the clinic, Altura something, and youre on hold for about 30-40 minutes, JUST to be transferred to a receptionist at the referral department who does not answer, ALL DAY and NOT return phone calls. Ridiculous. Im not going to even bother being seen here. Ill just go to somewhere else. Dont waste your time if you are referred here. The reviews are real.

Scott Barrett Worst medical experience ever. Took a month to review my referral, then another month to get an appointment. Showed up the the appointment early and the doctor didnt in walk into the office untill 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment. Finally get seen an hour after my appointment time. Get seen quickly with a incomplete exam and told I was going to need a test and they would call to schedule it with me. For 2 months they never called and when I called to schedule during that time, could never get thru or was told "were wait for the doctor to request the test". There is a reason this doctor has such low ratings. He has earned his terrible score. Save yourself the hassle and go to another doctor who believes in patient care.

Marlyn If I could give a 0 star review I would. This "neurologist" should NOT be a doctor. He is unqualified to treat patients. We waited months! months to see this Doctor for a severe nerve condition. When we were finally able to see him, he said "what do you want me to do, theres nothing I can do" Not an ounce of compassion or care for his patients. His staff, especially the girl named Stephanie is also inept and will not work with you at all to help. They are rude and inconsiderate. Do Not Go Here! Change networks if you have to or if he is your only option.

Lisa Diane Very good doctor very aggressive with the workmen comp insurance company that don’t want to help he will refer you out to specialist and keep following through until you can get some medical & prescription. ! Workmen’s comp is the worse!

Eric Ramirez I went in for a dot test and honestly it was good timing I was in and out and the ladies at the front desk were nice and polite to me I want to thank all of the staff of Kings Medical for helping me.

Robert Carter Worst place for a drug screen I’ve ever been to. As a class a driver I have to test all the time I’ve been here over an hour and the waiting room has cleared out twice and I still haven’t been called in. If it were busy I would understand but not when it’s empty. Stay away from here

Diana Valencia This place is by far the most unprofessional place ever…they make u wait an hour after your appointment time all while they make u wait in another room only to bring u into a room so that the provider can go in order…this is the worst place ever the girls in the front ignore u while ur asking a question but have no issue jumping on their cell phone to send a text message

Sylvia Ayala this place is terrible. I urge anyone that gets an injury not to go there. I was treated so bad not by all, but this assistant that was there was mean rude and judgmental. We go in there for help because we need answers about our injuries and she looked at me like if I was a liar or I was stupid no compassion no empathy for the patients.

Haley Talley If I could put zero stars I would. Honestly the constant rescheduling was extremely frustrating. I get things change and we need to be accommodating, however I received multiple calls in one day to confirm an appointment, only for it to be cancelled by the provider. In addition, I specifically stated when making an appointment what needed to be done for my daughter, and the appointment was still made. I came in, showed the paperwork that she needed a specific kind of blood test and was still told I was incorrect. I took off work, and wasted my time. Will not go back.

Antonio Aceves Horrible experience here. Came here for my wifes first OBGYN and we had to wait 2 hours to be attended by Dr. Overturn. She spent a total of maybe 4 minutes with us and refused to look at paperwork she needed to sign for my paternity leave. Then I come in on Monday Morning and get a male Doctor and when I asked if he could sign my do umentation for paternity leave he said "I cant sign this, because you want a vacation". Like dude this is my first child, childcare after birth is not a vacation. How a family doctor even says that is beyond me. We then went to the clinic in Visalia and literally in a matter of 2 minutes after talking to a health educator there, she filled out the form and responded that she understands this form needs to be filled out so I dont get fired from my job for taking a leave to be with my wife and newborn. How a health educator is more well educated than someone who went to medical school is beyond me. I wouldnt come to this clinic if my life was ending. Hard pass.

ReadingInRed Imagine a doctor laughing at a patient regarding their medical concerns. This place is an absolute joke. Dr. Overton, you are the most unprofessional, uncaring doctor I have ever heard of. Just because you have a medical license doesnt mean you know whats going on in someones body. Next time instead of laughing at your patient and making assumptions, perhaps try doing your job, listen to your patient, and provide care instead of making your patients cry.

Matthew (MattOTMHS) If I could give zero stars I would. Receptionists are unprofessional and stupid. Requiring unneeded authorization’s to see a doctor for my child. Not to mention earlier this year when they actively ignored an important doctors note for my child’s health. Don’t come here if you can avoid it. Craptacular service negative 5 stars.

Yesenia Avianeda I sat in with the Dr for less than 2 min. She was very judgmental and I didn’t feel comfortable talking to her because of that. I would ask questions and she would make me feel dumb for asking them. When she used medical terminology I asked what she meant by that, she seemed frustrated when I asked but still didn’t answer my question. I understand she has a lot of patients she has to see but I honestly felt like she rushed my appointment. Won’t be going again.

Debbie Goodman The experience that I’ve had with this place is through a friend of mine, who has a son that is mentally ill. Her 40-something-year-old son destroyed the inside of their house, breaking everything, including pulling the washing machine and the dryer away from the wall and turning them on their side. He wrecked their television set. He tore their bedroom door off of the hinges, and threatened to kill my friend’s husband. He even killed their kitten by cutting its head off with a knife. My friend had to spend thousands of dollars on an attorney, getting her son evicted. The police finally came and took him away and he was placed in this mental hospital. After a month, the hospital told my friend if she didn’t take him back into her home, he would be released into the streets. I spoke with a friend of mine last night, who is a nurse in Sacramento, and she said it is the hospital’s responsibility to keep a patient such as this until they can find a place for them. Why did this hospital Fail my friend?!

celeste martinez Horrible, nurses talk about other patients in front of other patients arnt you there to help us? All they do is drug u up and want u to participate in groups wich is coloring or word searches most of the time in order for u to get out u dont get therapy dont get actual help at all.

New Nebula Nurses were fine, but dear god are the doctors miserable to deal with. Theres also no therapy if hospitalized, so dont expect recovery. Their job is to stop you from killing yourself, not make you *not* want to kill yourself.

Morgan Rose This facility has failed my mother as well as refused her quality mental health care. We have been met with nothing but negligence and a lack of exhibiting proactive mental health care. Instead this mental health hospital is just medicating and ignoring their duty to interact with patients. However, a combination of therapy, support, and at times medication, is needed for patients to have a chance at improving. From the facilities website, “ Patients receive care of mental conditions from experienced psychiatrists.” This is untrue, and the psychiatric staff does not see or value these patients as humans. My mom is so sick, and she desperately wants help. We desperately want help getting my mother the care she deserves. The quality care that every individual who is admitted deserves. The staff does not understand that they are not meeting their legal and ethical duties. Dr. Daneshavar (license number A116728) in particular is not complying with the ethical codes of his profession and releasing false information about a very common drug used for bipolar patients. In order to treat people suffering from mental illness, competence is critical. He is certified by the ABPN (ID: 178119) and their professionalism requirements are, “Professionalism forms the basis of medicine’s contract with society. The ABPN is concerned with those aspects of professionalism that are demonstrated through a physician’s clinical competence, commitment to lifelong learning and professional improvement, interpersonal skills, and ethical understanding and behavior.” He has demonstrated that he does not meet the listed criteria. Behaviors and actions of his make it clear he has no bedside manner or compassion for his patients. He lacks morality and will not listen to our concerns due to his distorted view of his own professional “success”, and a high opinion of his own capabilities. While his arrogance cannot be reported as an ethical violation on any board, it shows his character and intentions. As someone who is educated in the field of psychology and psychiatric care, it was alarming to find out just how harmful and dangerous his behavior and lack of competence are. Giving patients false information about a medication and reactions is also an ethical violation. He is a professional and caring for some of the most vulnerable people in our community, yet he is dismissive, rude, pompous, blames the patients, and gives completely untrue information that even someone who didn’t know much about this field could easily access a medical journal to show how harmful his misinformation is. There are many more staff members who have shown negligence and lack of competence. The amount of employees this facility has that are in this profession for the right reasons are few and far between, but they are appreciated by families like ours. I will not stop fighting, reporting negligence to each specialty board, and demanding answers for how a whole facility is able to fail so many. It is time to question why their readmission rates are so unbelievably high. Why is the focus not on rehabilitation? Our community and patients suffering from mental illnesses deserve better.

Nora Rivera My mother went to see Lisa Higgins for the first time after multiple phone calls arguing with the staff if they took her insurance or not she finally got a appointment, when my mom went for her first visit the receptionist was extremely rude to her she asked my mom if she filled out the new patient paperwork that was sent to her and my mom stated she never received the paperwork instead of giving the option to my mom about filling the paperwork out the receptionist wanted to cancel her appointment when clearly my mom told her she never received the paperwork, she felt so un welcomed by the staff their, she felt like no one cared and the only reason she waited was because she had been waiting a long time to see the NP, I work at a private walk in clinic and I would never treat my patients that way, they are the ones who keep our doors open, they need to do something drastic to the staff in that office because clearly they dont care about there jobs nor the patients, its sad when the providers are amazing and the staff just ruin everything. I just hope they do a change before its to late.

Harper Ferro As a diabetic, being able to reach your endocrinologist is EXTREMELY important; the kind of thing that can have you hospitalized if your calls are never returned. I have attempted to reach this office quite literally hundreds of times since becoming a patient here. They have answered the phone two times. Most of the time, all calls go directly to voice mail. When it doesnt go directly to voice mail, it rings until it does. Messages left on their answering machine are never responded to.

Angelina Amaya Gutierrez I absolutely love the staff at the hospital. They took good care of me. Thankyou. When I needed something they got it when I asked questions they gave me as much information as they could. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Melody Lysgaard Basically no service in the ER. Waiting room is filled with patients who could be served in the urgent care center here; this not an emergency care facility, it is serving as an outpatient clinic while patients who do need and deserve more rapid attention go unserved. If there is a triage system here it is not being utilized. I have worked in EDs of every description over the last 60 years (and still working!) including this hospital. Shame on this facility.

Bishop Deville Everything went fine

typical gamer Horrible they just try to get u n and out

Alfonso Castillo Bad employees mistreating people who need help is just sad
