The Best 19 highly rated medical facilities near Chico, CA (Page 2)

RM F My therapist recommended a Mindpath Health psychiatrist. The staff at Mindpath was helpful when I contacted them for an initial appointment. They made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions. They also went the extra mile and got me in a few weeks ahead of my original appointment.

Devin Scouten Let me start off by saying I’ve been seeing Julie for about 7 years on and off and she is PHENOMENAL! Can’t rave enough about her. Only reason I’m rating four stars is because the meetings are over zoom now which comes with it’s own complications but other than that I cannot recommend Julie enough, she’s very personable and truly the sweetest.

Sophia Pham Mindpath Health is an affordable way to recovery. Dr. Hatira Watts is friendly and professional. I trust her with my mental health. The psychiatrist is easy to talk to on zoom. I recommend Mindpath Health to other patients like myself. It’s a safe environment. I have to take medication and talk to the psychiatrist. Dr. Watts treat you like a normal human and is very professional. You have to listen to Gabby on the phone. I’m glad I found Mindpath Health. I’m a happier person. Always listen to your doctor. They’ll save your life. My telemedicine appointments are always succinct and to the point. I can express myself and not get hurt. I have Telemedicine appointment on zoom. It’s nice talking to the psychiatrist on the phone. I have mental illness and it’s a lifelong illness. Not only does Dr. Watts prescribe medication, we plan for the future. I identify myself as Vietnamese and Buddhist.

Amanda Sylva I cant say enough good things about the care I have received. My life has truly changed for the better. Office staff I have encountered have been incredibly helpful and kind. My Dr. is wonderful, easy to talk to and explains things to me where I can understand them. Highly recommend! Forever grateful for Dr. Watts!

Heidi Paton Dr. Mellum cared for me during an (unexpected miracle) twin pregnancy. I was older (35) and had been told I couldnt get pregnant. He was extremely supportive and kind while we worked through all of the stages, testing, monitoring and, eventually, a month of bed rest. He ultimately was not on call to deliver when I went into premature labor but his partner, Dr. Valkeringi (sp) was great as well. I experienced moderate postpartum depression and he treated me for that as well. Dr. Mellum is an exceptional doctor and a good man. I cant begin to express my gratitude to him and his staff.

Danielle Boutda I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Mellum and his staff! He truly helped to put me at ease during my pregnancy and I always felt 100% safe and well cared for. I trusted him completely and would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing an OB.

Soledad Mojica Aceves Great doctor was my doctor for all three babys. Highly recommend him and his nurse very very nice and friendly. Just his other new staff is kinda rude specially when making a payment one time questioned how I was going to pay in a way that offended me like I couldnt afford it. But either then that I highly recommend him trust him 100% great couch in delivery :D

Autumn Eylders Incredible family practice we have here. Doctor Scott mellum took care of me and my baby better than I could’ve ever imagined myself if I had the power and control over doing it. This man is beyond loving, has a great deal of patience, very witty, well educated and driven in his line of work, and compassionate when it comes to educating woman about their body and the series of events that happen while pregnant and boy was I just an anomaly I had almost everything go wrong and he without a shadow of a doubt made me feel safe and cared for I had the most amazing team and man behind me to take care of me and my sons life, I will recommend him over and over and over until I can’t anymore. If I ever choose to have another child in the future this is the man I will be coming back too.

Amelia a Never actually saw a health care provider. After jumping through all their hoops, weeks of terible communication from the office staff, and being hung up on i was finally allowed to scheduled an appointment. Skip to the day of the appointment i showed up to be told that they didnt have me on the schedule. The staff claimed that they had left me a voice mail canceling my appointment, but i have no missed call, and no voicemail from them. When i pointed this out i was given a blank stare, and offered no route to a solution. Absolutely unhelpful staff, i will not be going back.

Giuseppe Pennisi I really like the staff here but I had a hernia mesh installed and this guy did a terrible job. I was going crazy trying to find help to fix my problem. Everywhere I went I was told to go back to Dr schneider. He kept carterizing my wound and telling me I was going to be fine . Months go by and I refused to go back to him because he was full of it. I started going to other Drs to try and get a referral. That was impossible. I even went to Stanford. They said to go back to him. I would not let that guy touch me again. I was bleeding for two years and eight months. I finally found a Sergent to help me and fix this guys mistakes. I have spent countless knights with out sleeping. Bleeding Everywhere and I am pissed. I have six kids and I have to work . The pain and bleeding has been terrible. Now there is my review, you earned this one.

Esmeralda Sixtos I had gallbladder surgery by Dr.Schneider on 08/14/2023 so it has been a little over two months, I went into his office upset and ready to have my issue resolved as I had lost 33lbs in 2 months ( I went from 156 to 123) because I was unable to eat almost anything without feeling pain, nausea and bloating. Upon entering his office Schneider was very kind and friendly and asked me how I was doing (which I responded "good" with a smile, I dont know why I lied lol) Dr. Schneider read me and asked if I wanted to change my answer, which, I then broke down and cried a little and told him how I had been feeling, he listened the whole time and offered me a tissue and not once pressured me into surgery. He asked what I wanted done after he gave me my options and I elected the surgery, he explained to me what he would do and was very confident and explained repercussions with each option he provided. Once I left his office and he had me sit with the surgery scheduler she booked me for surgery within 12 days, My recovery went overall amazing and my incision sites are very small and healing well. I felt almost immediate relief after surgery and just feel some aches here and there where my gb use to be and at my incision sites when I am physically active (which I am sure is due to my body still healing) but am no longer dealing with weight loss, pain or vomiting, the surgery itself took about 42 minutes or less and I was so shocked at how well my body handled it. I am finally able to eat foods I enjoy again and have not had any significant changes in my digestive system as of now. I highly recommend Dr. Schneider and his staff, I am hopeful that I continue healing well and am very thankful for their work.

J G I wasnt going to have hernia surgery until I met Dr. Schneider. I got such a good feeling from him I decided I should go ahead and get it done. Im 5 days past surgery now and the entire surgery experience was great, I think he did an amazing job and I would recommend him to anyone.

Moon Goddess On our first meeting, Doc. Schneider acted like the nicest guy youve ever met. He assured the surgery would be a success and easy process. I asked him what his procedure is, and me, being a seamstress, he asked "do people ask how you are going to alter their garments?" I replied "absolutely, and I do my best to explain even though speaking sewing is extremely difficult." He proceeded to tell me to just let him do the surgery because he is the expert. I agreed and asked if he had a piece of mesh to show me what he would fix the hernia with. He said no. I had no idea what was going into my body but trusted him anyway. We did the surgery a few days later. We had our 2 or 3 week checkup where he asked how I was doing. I told him I feel like I swallowed a metal rake and it was poking me and scraping with every breath and step I take, so he told me to go home and take Motrin any time it hurts. Which was CONSTANTLY. 2 months later I go back to his office, crawling in the most excruciating pain Ive ever known. He looked at my 2 tiny scars and told me "youre fine, just keep taking Motrin" and sent me away. 4 YEARS LATER, I am STILL not fine!!! In fact, the mesh he sewed to my coopers ligament (the lesser chosen way to do the job) has turned to a ball of stone. It never has stopped feeling like a metal rake or pitchfork is jabbing through my insides. Every step I have taken in those 4 years hurts. I have spent a ton of money trying to find relief. Accupuncture, chiropractor, massage, endless doctor visits. MRIs. Surgeons do not want to do the surgery for removing the mesh because they fear they will sever nerves and possibly damage the ligament. I still have pain, the tissue through my belly feels like it never healed properly and Doc. Schneider has offered absolutely no relief!!! If I had listened to him and been taking Motrin all along, I would have complete kidney and liver failure years ago. This Doctor is a complete Moron!!!

Ernie Schuetzle My wife,who I adore greatly, had a lemon sized lipoma on her left shoulder and was highly reluctant to get it removed. Dr Schneider came highly recommended and we were able to get an appointment to come and see him. My wife Valerie prayed and prayed that he would be called out to a hospital surgery and would therefore miss the approaching appointment. Not so! Dr Schneider was bushy tailed and ready to go and the nervous Valerie was ushered into his office and was gone for the next hour only to return with a big smile on her face. Here is her review: The doctors is great! His bedside manner was the best- he completely put me at ease and was very matter of fact about what we were about to undergo. His manner made me stay relaxed and he bantered back and forth with my friend while he removed a large fatty tumor from my shoulder. He listened to me if I encountered any pain and well, he was very good at surgery! The fatty tumor was pretty large and was stuck on the muscle and my scar is pretty small and is healing extremely well. I am sooo grateful to Dr. Schneider. Thank you again. I have full range of my shoulder and just after only 2 weeks I am back on my beloved pole for pole fitness and I am having no complications. Dr Schneider is an exceptional doctor!

Dana Sutton Very nice facilities and people. Make sure you park in the front. All other entrances are staff only. The eye clinic is great. Very professional. Sandy was very helpful. Albert at the optical Shop is very helpful.

Janice Todd My experience at the Chico facility has been deeply troubling. There needs to be more awareness to prevent similar incidents in the future. During a visit, my father experienced side effects from his medication, so we sought to discuss his symptoms with his doctor. Instead, we were referred to an RN named S***n. In the examination room, S***n locked the door and immediately started accusing me of not liking the VA. She began making harsh accusations, claiming my father had more serious issues than what he was being seen for, suggesting I was part of my father’s problems! As she continued twisting my words to imply I was blaming the VA for what was happening, she aggressively questioned me and then proceeded to interrupt me with more questions. This behavior caused significant distress for both my father and me. It’s concerning that such actions and attitudes were displayed by a healthcare professional. I hope this feedback leads to greater awareness and training within this facility to prevent similar situations in the future. If you have a loved one who is vulnerable, always make sure to have an advocate with them. This incident occurred earlier in the year, and I’m still very hesitant to share it due to concerns about potential mistreatment of my father. However, I believe it’s important to share this experience because I don’t think it was the first time S***n treated a patient like this. If I don’t speak out, she might do it again.

Shannon Noel Staff is good. I like Dr Dorjee, but every month I have a very hard time getting him to sign off on my pain meds. Ive had surgery on both hips 2 times on my lumbar, c-spine. Currently fighting small cell lung cancer. It only takes a few seconds to sign off my meds.

Douglass Moody I am extremely pleased with the care I have received from my GP, from Dental Department, and from one-time Triage Nurse.

John McDonald If it matters to you that your health care providers and staff care about you and your well-being, then this is the place for you. Can they do everything there? Of course not, they’re just a clinic. Can you walk in without an appointment and be seen immediately? Of course not, but you will be seen. Will you occasionally see a provider that you’re not happy with? Absolutely, I once saw a physician that I was, shall we say, LESS than pleased with- but as presently constituted, it’s an outstanding team. I can’t remember getting better care anywhere else at any price….and I’ve never been treated like just a barcode.

Jeani Kemper In 2007 I moved to Chico and a coworker recommended Dr. Smith and Foster on Rio Lindo. I was very happy with both Drs, Smith & Foster, had such great bedside manner & really listened to me. I even followed them when they moved their office just a block away. When Dr. Smith left, Dr. Gauslin was added (Great Dr also) but he later moved on, yet Foster was there for me and I felt safe in his care. In 2016 I lost my job, became disabled & sadly medi-cal was not accepted at Cohasset Medical Group & I was not able to see Foster anylonger. The care I recieved at Ampla was less than adequate, no connection or trust was established and my health declined rapidly. A couple of years ago I was eligible for Medicare & quickly called to get back in to see Dr Foster yet the office staff told me he wasnt accepting new patients! Ive since been unable to find another GP, even after writing a letter directly to Dr Foster (did he ever see it?) Office staff says he is retiring yet my insurance tells me he is accepting new patients, what is going on? Its hard enough finding a doctor in Chico, Florence health closed & now Im without a local physician... Dr Foster was the best, and I really wish hed let me come back, even for a little while as a returning patient.

Denise Sipsy Dr Foster has been a good doctor to my mother for over 12 years. But he seems to be slipping, forgetting to follow through with what he does. Either this, or his staff doesnt follow through. My mother hasnt been able to reach the office by phone since the Paradise fires. Her caregiver had to take my Mom into the office to contact the staff for any reason. My Mom moved to live with me (her daughter) at the end of February. Dr. Foster said, he would send 3 months of medication to my Moms new address but didnt follow through. Now my Mom is out of 3 of her medications. SilverScript has never heard from Dr. Foster. His office still wont answer their phones. I cant fly back to Chico to make this right! Very sad and frustrated.

Cliff Lewis Dr. Foster is great. He was my parents doctor for over ten years and my doctor for many years as well. Since the virus has hit, they have closed the doors and arent answering their phones. When you can get some one on the phone, they all seem like they are mad, and very short. They used to be so nice. Very frustrating as I dont really want to find a new doctor, even if I could. Im paying my insurance premiums, but cant even use them. Stupid me.

Darrin Smith Dr Foster, Dr Rogna, and the nurses/staff are Amazing! Courteous, knowledgeable, and all around 5-Star practice! I havent left them since I first walked through their doors in 2008. You wont be disappointed! :-)

Austin Bohn I moved to Chico in January and submitted a request for medical records in person around February 10th being told the whole process could take anywhere up to 2-3 weeks. Around the first of March I became very sick with the flu and a sinus issue. Calling in to check on the status of my records request I was told by I believe Georgina at the front desk, who is who Ive spoken with on each occasion, that she faxed my request to the wrong address and was resending it that second, this was about 3 weeks to a month after the initial request. My Florida doctor received the request only a week after they were resent. I had them verify with me once they received the request and sent it back, which was done same day. This was over 4 weeks ago that it was sent back. I have since called about once a week to check on the status as I urgently needed antibiotics and continued to receive them from Urgent Care for a steep co-pay. Despite stressing this urgency on multiple occasions, which was met with 0 compassion or concern, and being told "I would receive a call whenever they arrived"... I am not sure what the issue is, whether someone misplaced my request or what could possibly cause a CERTIFIED medical document shipped 4 weeks ago to a verified address to disappear... I dont want to make claims but its just phishy and I feel like my time has been supremely wasted as now I will wait another two weeks to a month to retrieve records at a new doctor and another costly trip to Urgent Care.

Deborah fav Bernard We applied to see doctor Archer. When are application was put in for our elderly mother, with slight issues. First they called and asked if she had medical? No she doesnt. Then they said they would call to let us know if she was excepted. Call came in 2 days later.. no we cannot except her. I called the office and asked why? I was told we dont have to give you a reason. Now if this doctor is excepting new patients, why? Because my mom , at 78, has underlying medical issues.? To me this is 100% DISCRIMINATION DISCRIMINATION. I CAPNNOT UNDERSTAND. PROBALLY THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO... BUT STILL NOT RIGHT. DISCRIMINATION

Andrew I have been visiting Chico for a couple of months and was looking for a primary physician referral to see a specialist doctor (impossibly to access the specialist doctor otherwise). It seems this practice (maybe others too?) is not well set up to help those who are seeking such one- off consults. Had to go through a lengthy application process to see Dr. Harlan only for request to be denied ten days later. Would respectfully suggest that communication could be improved to avoid the inconvenience and time involved in making and then waiting for the request to be responded to (negatively).

Paula Wilson I completed the paperwork to become a new patient and less than 24 hours later, I received a voice mail telling me my application was denied. When I called to find out why, they would not provide a reason for declining to accept me telling me that they had the right to deny me. I asked to know the reason and was pretty much told that because I wanted an answer to that question, that was exactly the reason I wouldnt fit in with their practice. Not only does that seem unfair to me, it makes no sense. If you cant ask questions, or get answers, then its probably best to seek a different provider. Thats a really sad state of affairs. I also see that this isnt the first complaint of this type with this office. Use caution.

Barbro Beckett Dr Archer has been my physician for years. I am very pleased with the level of service I receive. Dr Archer is thorough personable and knowledgeable. I sometimes see her PA. The same protocol is true for the PA. He is kind and very thorough. I am very grateful to be able to see such dedicated medical professionals.

Scott Hines Dr. Weeber has been my Dr. for 20 years. I find him charming with a great sense of humor. Always a welcoming smile that puts you at ease at once. Dr. Weeber has always gone above and beyond concerning my health issues. You can count on Dr. Weeber to be on top of his game. Its because he sincerely cares. Susie his nurse is of the same caliber. She is very professional. Not to mention a sweetheart. He has a great staff. In my opinion you cant find better.

Frank Simmons I have been goin to Dr Weeber for several years now and I like him as well as his staff. One that was with him in the old office that is great. Dr. Is so easy going and easy to talk to. He does not waste time but takes the time to make the right decision. I feel as though he is more knowledgeable than many he just don’t have to guess. He usually has the answer without much research to confirm his opinion. I’m there to stay.

Aaron Swartz For 3 years I have been a patient of Dr. Mark. However in February or March of 2016 a new nurse started in the office...BAD NEWS!!!!! A brow-beating son of a something that does not belong in nursing...or Dr. Weebers office. Before she showed up the climate of the office was nice. Suzy is her name and I hope this person is disbarred from nursing because she isnt deserving to carry an RN license. Patty, Debbie, you are awesome...Dr. Weeber...start making YOUR own decisions for YOUR patients instead of the brow-beating lunch-lady Suzy dictating to you. Take back being an MD! Take back YOUR REPUTATION!

William Holmes Dr.Weber is the best I have ever had and I am 70 yrs old. I have had good dr.s and bad but he is the best.

Tahj Gomes Ive been seeing Mark for several years. He is a good, solid MD, and I am pretty picky about such things.

Jora EmeryMeeds Amazing clinic, Megan Johnson is one of the best doctors Ive taken my mom into. Shes professional, warm and so understanding with my moms situation/condition. Great front desk staff as well, I honestly have nothing but great things to say about this clinic. Thank you Dr. Johnson, you very much appreciated.

Jessica Arambula Apmpla is whats wrong with the medical field. There Ma do not know how to properly take blood pressure. There drs are late, i dont understand how you can chronicly be an hour late in the mornings witch makes u late for everybody for the day, no respect for their patients. And they will except dutys and then break them when ever they feel like, with by law i cant do that even tho they have been. Miliorn abruptly stoped medication she had been perscribing for over a year. Non narcotic. Its a medication that alows me to have a life and function but now after anlost 2 years shes no longer perscribing it stoped abruptly and wouldnt even provided a taper per the fda warning to never abruptly stop the medication it is unsafe to do. Seems like dangerous behavior from drs. Im suprized they dont have more malpractise law suits

kayla ordaz This is by far the worst clinic Ive ever been to. I didnt expect much with there 2 star rating. I told them my mom is dying and I need my meds which are NOT a narcotic its a nausea medication. Ive been calling for a month in a half asking about it and they kept saying Ill put it high priority. Then Id hear NOTHING back, so I would have to call again about 4 times a week for over a month. The receptionist are stuck up rude and not at all of any help. My mom is 87 and Im flying for the first time with my dog to go say goodbye to her. And they still now want me to come in even though I was there a month ago if not less. Every time I make a appointment they cancelled about 2 or 3 days before the appointment and finally I got someone who was understanding and she is trying to get me a phone appointment which would work considering I live in Oroville and they know that. Im in tears almost every day due to this situation.

Ryan Howard Love my doctor and her assisting staff members. I travel from my hometown that is 1.5 hours away to receive my medical care from this clinic because I can’t find a better medical experience. Be patient with them as they are a very busy office.

Emma Garcia Dr Raja is the best! He really focuses on problem areas when you point them out, I feel like I get a lot more out of going to the South side clinic compared to North side clinic.

yasa sfeh Dr. Alicia Wenberg is the best doctor in the whole country not only in the town. I moved to VA and she still able to help me and care about my medical situation. She is good listener to the patient and will do her best to help the patient. I loved her very much and hope all doctors will be like her so helpful and kind. The front desk are amazing people, there is no words can explain how nice they are and they will do the best for you.

L I Worst most unprofessional service OF MY LIFE. Had spent years being tossed around to different doctors and nurse practitioners being put on different birth controls to manage my horrible period symptoms. (Never actually trying to figure out what was wrong). They decided to put in an IUD and after one insertion did not work I was seen by Dr. Wenberg who FORCED the IUD in. After a year (was studying abroad) I went in because I had never felt the IUD string. Turns out I have a uterine anomaly (uterus didelphys) that I was not aware of and she had torn the IUD through my uterine lining upon insertion and the IUD was floating around in my abdomen. Given the situation you would think that she would be rushing to make things right and figure out what had happened to the IUD, but it took over a month of me consistently calling to try to get an appointment to schedule having the IUD found and removed and nothing from their end. I eventually called ordering them to switch me to another doctor who would take more attentive care to my case. Dr. Shwabe (now retired) successfully removed the IUD. Now a couple of years later I have been seen by a specialist in SF who has FINALLY given me a diagnosis after close to 15 YEARS of failed medical practice here in Chico where I received a ultrasound guided IUD insertion to help manage my endometriosis and dysmenorrhea. They were able to do this after 1 online call and 2 in person visits. You would think that after multiple failed attempts a DOCTOR would maybe think something was wrong or maybe some further tests could be run? Looking back, if I had fully understood the scope of the situation (was only 18 at the time) I would have sued for malpractice. The doctors in Chico will only help you if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, otherwise they really don’t care.

Jessica Lewis Honestly, this office and doctor is such a joke. Spent two months trying to expedite a referral, all to be told by the time it’s done that they can’t book me out for six months. I spent two months doing extensive labs and orders for nothing. Find a doctor and office who care, because these people don’t and will absolutely waste your time.

KyttieKat Best OBGYN Ive ever seen! Im so glad to finally have a doctor that I feel like truely cares about me.

Veronica Felix Amazing ObGYN. Def knows what she is doing and cares for her patients

Emma Frankenfield Doctor Furst is a great listener and very patient. He asks great questions to make sure he fully understands your condition. He is never rushed and gives you all the time that you need. I really appreciate Dr Furst.

deborah schowalter This doc is a good communicator and the staff is excellent as well. I choose him based on what Id heard about him in the community and because his father is an excellent doctor here, serving CSU Chico for a very long time. So Bryan has excellent training, knows the local doctors, has good resources and is also a person whom I immediately trusted. He doesnt give out some types of medications, has a mindset to get people healed and not be a pill dispensing service. If you can get in, let him be your primary care doc. They have a Sunday walk-in clinic too!

Reyna Ramos He is the best doctor in Chico.

Katelyn Scheurer My daughter needed her 4 yr old shots and we dont have great insurance so we decided to come here. The sweet gal upfront made my daughter super excited about her shots by giving her stickers, let her pick out from tons of choices of kids bandaids. It made her so happy! We then met the Dr. He was so personable and made my daughter also feel so comfortable and described so well what he was doing to help her ease into the shot process. Such a great experience. Thanks so much

Delannya Rose Sarah was so helpful I was in and out she was such a great help I appreciate that.

Sangeethasumam G A health department to create fear among people.. Good for nothing department! Dont believe them. They dont treat you when you are sick and they would treat you when you are completely healthy and they think they are absolutely right in everything they do !.Just to remind "its not the healthy that need doctors, but the sick".

Cathy Eide I think the our Public Health Department has fallen very short of the standard needed in the current public emergency. It maybe because of restrictions and restraints placed on them by other government agencies, but there is little transparency, which would help the public understand what is happening and why. One example is the Covid count in the public schools. It’s terribly confusing, and appears to maintain the confusion even though families cannot find out if their child has had contact with someone who has Covid. The reason, the schools give a test to check for Covid that isn’t acceptable to the Health Department. So those children are never counted and children they have been in contact with aren’t notified. Hard to figure out who came up with that plan? Things, that appear to be a no- brainer for the Health Department’s involvement, are left out with no connection. Like- the Covid testing home testing. Confusion has certainly run rampant, but for clarity and transparency wouldn’t it have been great if informational response was available on their answer line? I know there are committed, talented people working there, but there has been a failure of communication, transparency, creativity throughout this whole process; this horrible, sad, deadly, community altering process.

Yolanda Pettway All the posts were helpful and taught me a few things about Chico.

Ginger Darcy Ive been with Dr. McDermott for years now and can say hes a wonderful provider. I feel comfortable speaking with him and sharing my stressors and issues. I myself work in the mental health field and it takes its toll; he empathizes and understands and provides support without judgement. I never feel rushed and have enough time without it feeling like hes trying to push too much (Im not a huge talker.) Im thankful for him.

Kristen Stevenson After speaking to the staff on the phone for weeks they said they were unable to confirm my insurance but instead of letting me know they just moved on called them every week and they still couldnt figure it out. After I finally was put on the schedule they called me back 15 minutes later to tell me the doctor didnt want to take my case and had no explanation other than he didnt want to do it, when he had no information on why I was going and why. It would have been nice to know that 6 weeks earlier when I have been trying and unsuccessfully get ahold of them. Trash place.

Bailey Henry I’ve mostly come to talk about Ivan Gossage who’s in this office. Ivan is probably one of, if not the best practician I’ve been to across all fields. He lets you speak, genuinely listens to what you have to say, provides you multiple options and scenarios, and is open to your own ideas, as well, while still giving your ideas his own professional thought and opinion. If you’re in need of a psychiatrist I couldn’t recommend him more. The office staff here is also friendly, kind, and laid back.

Lisa Williams The 2023 Staff at the office are EXCEPTIONAL!!! Leah & Alex are competent, caring and patient oriented. Be patient as you are likely to need to leave a message as they take care of those in the office first and the phones second. Ivan Gossage is a first rate Nurse Practitioner who goes the extra mile for his patients!!!

Jenn Garrett Dr Mcdermont has treated my ex husband for 12 years and is a great physician. We tried to have my daughter be seen by his partnering doctor(due to family history). We made an appointment two months ago (first available), my daughter drove over 1.5hrs to be told that the dr wasn’t there and that they didn’t have a phone number to contact her at. Yet, they have called me twice to gather insurance information and to confirm address. I tried to call them back and Linda was VERY rude and said “your daughter doesn’t want to be a patient here so I don’t have to talk to you” she then said to another woman in the background “this is that girls mom” to which the lady said, “hang up on her” Linda then said, “I don’t have to talk to you” and hung up on me. These people work with the mentally ill, people in crisis, depressed and bipolar. This is how they treat other humans in need? This is how. Yes handle their mistakes? Shame on you Dr M if this is how you allow your staff to treat people that have made you a rich man!

Sheila Olson They put my 88 year old mother who has a broken hip in a room sitting in a wheelchair. Her leg and back is hurting and she needs to use a restroom. It has been an hour and not one person has checked on her. At 40 minutes I asked for help. Still no one!

Shane Sanders I broke tibia and fibula and was air lifted too enloe. They did surgery the following day as not enough surgeons were available. I never saw the surgeon that operated on me. And in the follow up appointments always saw a different person. Always a physician assistant never a real doctor. I’ve been having nothing but complications and finally got a second opinion doctor through work comp which is a chore. Enloe messed up my leg and I have no feeling in my foot. I’ll see how it goes but n next few months but I expect too see them in court someday if it isn’t better. Worst experience ever in a doctor office.

April Bleck The staff was very friendly and it seems they have a pleasant work environment. They communicate with their patients and help you feel as comfortable as possible. I’d recommend.

Leigh Steward I wish that I could say Ive ever had a positive experience at any Enloe provider but I still havent. Weve been to this office to follow up on orthopedics three separate times, every time we arrive 10 minutes early, and every time we sit in a room for an hour before being seen. The providers and staff are nice, but time management doesnt exist in this office. We sit for an hour, were seen for 5 minutes, they request xrays again, we sit for another hour so the PA can spend 3 minutes telling us everything is ok. If you have to be seen here, expect a "brief" followup appointment to take anywhere from 1-3 hours.

TRICIA M My boys have never had as great as care as they did with Dr Stanley but when he left we had no choice but to switch providers. Dr Asarian was amazing and then he left. We were just told that our youngest now needs to seek new care because he is an adult (at 16 years old) while our middle son was able to seek care there until he was 18 years old and left for college. I felt this was rude and inconsiderate. We would not recommend this pediatric office to anyone.

Emma Todd We have been patients of Dr. Ahmed for 6 years, since he came to visit us in the hospital the day my son was born. We have consistently had positive visits here, and both of my children have very positive views of visiting the doctor. He always takes the time to tell my children what he is doing during the examinations, and has even paused an appointment for my son to share a lengthy story about magical animals. The appointments can be quick on occasion, but every time I have a serious question or concern Dr. Ahmed has taken the time to listen, answer my questions, and offer ideas and reassurances.

Susan G When our pediatrician of 10 years retired, we needed to find a new provider. Chico Pediatrics had excellent reviews. However, I have found the care lacking. Our child has many special medical needs, and the staff does not seem to understand or care about this childs complexity. Even though I am a doctor myself, the physician treated me like I knew nothing about my child, her history or her physical needs. In two separate appointments, she has talked over me, ignored me, and treated me like I was some sort of hypochondriac momma. Our child reported to me after the appointment that she felt like the doctor talked down to her. Our daughter also sees a neurologist, dermatologist, cardiologist, audiologist, ophthalmologist and ENT-- and ALL of these professionals--without exception-- treat both parent and child with dignity and respect. Chico Pediatrics does not treat their patients with dignity or respect. Some of the Nurse Practitioners are VERY sweet... but they seem overwhelmed by my childs complex medical needs. On the good side, we rarely wait very long, they offer same day appointments, and the nurses/ medical assistants are very good at education and information.

Jamie Chapman The practitioners are good-some are better than others, but unfortunately the receptionists/non medical staff have become increasingly rude. After 3 years of using them for our child, we will not be back. I understand Covid has changed how a lot of people do business and left a lot of people short staffed, but literally the last thing I want to deal with when I have a sick kid is a rude receptionist acting like they have something better to do than to help you make an appointment. I was upset after the way I was talked to just trying to schedule a wellness exam-I can’t imagine trying to talk to the woman “helping” me in a more urgent situation. We decided to call around to get an appointment with another office, and I am so happy we did - the difference when we called to schedule elsewhere was night and day and made me realize I made the right choice. There are so many other options in Chico, and they are all probably going to be easier to schedule with.

Bridget Carney Weve been going to Chico pediatrics for almost 3 years now. The front office staff is always friendly and welcoming. For well visits and sick visits they are prompt at getting you back to a room. Weve seen 2 of the doctors there and both have spent time to listen to our concerns. Looking forward to bringing our newborn to the clinic.

Trisha I had been seeing Dr. Dixon since 2005 and when I reached menopause they told me I only needed to come in once every two years. The last two times I made appointments they told me since I didn’t come in every year (they wouldn’t let me) I was considered a “new patient” but they did see me. This time I was told that they have a “closed practice” and since I hadn’t had an appointment for over two years they couldn’t see me. The receptionist was unfriendly and kind of rude. Not the practice it used to be, that’s for sure.

Rebecca Walden Dr. Dixon and her staff are the best ever. They really care about their patients and go above and beyond to ensure good health and provide great care. I recently had a prescription medication emergency, which Dr. Dixon addressed immediately. Dont know what I would do without her. I trust her completely and appreciate everything she has done for me. Thank you Dr. Dixon. You and your staff are the best.

Sandy Graham Im just curious if Dr. Whitney Dixon ever checks her yelp reviews? Has she ever even had a discussion with her front desk staff about their ridiculous rude behavior? There is so many times the front office staff has been rude for literally no reason! Today was my last straw. I havent left a bad review in the past for them because I didnt have a problem with the actual doctor herself. In fact she really helped my daughter! ... However I cannot justify putting up with the miserable staff that work at the front office. They are literally horrible! They called me and told me they had to cancel an appointment for my daughter because the doctor wasnt going to be there that day and so I rescheduled. The day before my rescheduled appointment (today) they called me saying that they wanted me to pay them money because of my no-show. When I told them that it was not a no-show and that in fact they were the ones who called me to cancel and made me reschedule, she INSISTED that nope she showed it being a no-show and that I owe the money. Super rude she said if I didnt like it I could write a letter to dispute it. It absolutely positively was not a no-show. It was a reschedule due to THEIR mistake and they have the nerve of asking me to pay them!!!! Its just too bad because the doctor herself is probably a great doctor! But the office staff is the absolute worst!

Becka Robertson How disappointing. Coming back to Dr. Dixons practice after several years, I was expecting the same warm, caring, woman-centered practice that I left. Unfortunately, one of the office assistants and the nurse practitioner left their compassionate side at home today. I had forgotten my mask after switching purses, and instead of handling the situation with compassion and understanding, I was the focus of all of the COVID-19 frustration that office is feeling. It was so bad that I walked out without the medical care I need and immediately found another gynecologist. I hope the rest of their patients are treated with more dignity and respect than I was today.

Megan Masonek Ive been seeing Dr Dixon for several years and truly can not imagine a more warm and welcoming practice. The staff is friendly, non judgmental and sincere all while being incredibly down to earth and easy to talk to. Most of my family and friends are patients of Dr Dixon and Deborah Malone and each of them have the same sentiments. Its perplexing to even fathom a negative review, let alone believe one.

Mona Weil I have been a patient at North Valley Cardiology for a few years now. My Mother who is 95 recommended them to me. I feel very comfortable at this medical practice. Parking is great, front desk treats you with respect and my doctor Katherine Prince is wonderful. She always explains what I need to know carefully and I feel like she is very sincere. My Mother and I are both very happy. I highly recommend this cardiology practice.

Rick Battershell Medical care is good but front check in personnel were very rude and told me to "shut up" . At that point my BP and pulse were quite elevated. This is unacceptable for any I front personnel but especially a cardiologist.

Denise Haskell Not impressed with Dr Catherine Prince. She became my husbands doctor after our previous doctor passed away and Doctor Yip left the area. She barely gave us the time or care. Never ran any follow up tests. I’m very sad I didn’t take my husband somewhere else.

Christina Wheeler Overall my experience has not been positive. Between being told an incorrect appointment date and taking unnecessary time off work to their lack of an easy way to make a payment and being sent to collections. For the love of god, join the online community for payments!!! I am not writing my information down and mailing to you to get stolen or abused and over the phone still has the same potential. I should be able to control who has access to my information and be able to pay you as well.

Brian Vittitoe I have been very impressed with the all of the members of the Northstate Cardiology team and appreciate their consistent professionalism. I have my annual check ups with Dr. Wolk, who always spends the time necessary answering any questions I may have while giving me proper guidance. I have felt rushed with other medical appointments but felt LISTENED to here. I highly recommend Northstate Cardiology.

Kenneth Warren My 2nd doctor, 1st one I saw didnt last very long and Dr. Williams, is much too busy to spend any amount of time with you, I waited in a very shaby examination room with a disgusting looking vinyl covered couch that was worn out on the corners with the stuffing showing, obviously a breeding spot for germs or viruses. Seriously, you wouldnt have a piece of furniture looking like that in your house but there it is in a place thats supposed to be sterile? 30 minutes I sat there and several people came in to take things from the drawers, dont know who they were but then Dr. Williams showed and I told him about some of my medical history which apparently didnt interest him very much and 10 minutes later he was gone. I asked him if he had read my past history from Enlow Hospital and he said he had read enough, he was a little interested in my TIA that I had some time ago in 2024 but hasnt followed up in any way. He did renew all my prescriptions which were written at least 20 years ago and gave no indication if he knew what they were for?

Charlotte Caravalho I will be the first one to say that my experiences here have ranged from 0 stars to 4 stars. The place is in need of some updating but I was just in there today and it seemed like they were in progress. There were new floors, video screens, and tools in the patient rooms. The waiting room is still dated but it seems like they are starting with the patient rooms and maybe will do other updates after. My young girl at the front desk was really sweet. I have worked with some of the other ladies that have been there for years and they aren’t always happy to assist but realistically they put up with a lot I’m sure. Dr Williams had good bedside manner, probably the best I’ve had here at the visit today. One of the few places in Chico that does walk-in. Ample parking and I like that they can do all the tests on site.

Graham Higbee I can no longer recommend Mangrove Medical Center, even though my care provider, Dr. Avilla, is fantastic. Unfortunately, the administration does not reflect the same values as the doctors. I was treated horrendously by the administrator in a manner I havent experienced since childhood. I received care from MMG before leaving the country for three months. The bill for my services arrived while I was away. I attempted to pay the bill through their portal, but it is not set up to accept payments from outside the country, so I was unable to do so. Upon returning from my trip, I discovered that a prescription had been canceled. I called MMG to resolve the issue and pay the bill, keeping in mind that I had just returned. I was informed that the debt had been sent to collections, and I would need to speak to a supervisor. When I spoke to the supervisor, Beth, she was immediately unfriendly and told me it was not her responsibility to pay my bills while I was out of the country. She treated me more like a bad customer than a patient. I explained the situation and expressed my desire to resolve the matter quickly. She told me I would need to write a personal letter to the doctor to be allowed back into his practice and made me feel as though I was stealing food from their mouths over $150. I hung up. I then called and paid my bill with the credit bureau, and they were kind enough to inform me that it had not yet been reported. I have been with MMG and Dr. Avilla for over seven years, have never owed them money, and have never been sent to collections. I highly recommend finding care elsewhere until they start treating people like humans.

Morgan Kennedy I’ve been a patient at Mangrove medical for five years. I would not recommend anyone go here if they’re looking for anything above treating a common cold. Dr Johnson was fine when I was just going for yearly checkups but as soon as I had any medical needs above that he was useless. I was lucky to get a 3 minute visit with him (after long wait times) and he never knew why I was there. I have been on two medications for years and every refill his office sent was wrong and took me days to correct. Oh, and he also confidently diagnosed me with an aggressive form of cancer based on imaging alone and then sent the wrong referral twice to an oncologist which took me weeks to fix and caused a huge amount of mental and emotional suffering for myself and my family. DO NOT GO HERE. This office is a mill that is just out to make as much money as possible on as many patients a day as possible.

Davis Gabrielle (Brie) I have been going here for my prenatal appointments for about 5 months and have enjoyed every experience with the staff. They are all very kind and helpful. The ladies at the front desk are so sweet and make it really enjoyable to schedule appointments and check out. Even before I started coming here, when I called about making an appointment with a provider, they were all very kind to work with!

Kirsten Horrible waste of time, rescheduled me for months out due to the doctors schedule. The old lady at the front desk is absolutely incapable of doing her job. Left me at the desk to answer the phone and chit chat for 3-4 minutes then told me I was late and took up too much time so they had to reschedule me for 3 months out again! I have cysts that need removed urgently and they think its good practice to make new patients wait months for access to the provider. Absolutely unprofessional. She should just retire already and get someone whos actually trained to do the job. Making patients suffer is inexcusable.

Oro Jewelry & Loan Terrible experience! I went to have my IUD removed, prior to my appointment checked my IUD strings to make sure they were in place, The entire procedure was lengthy and Painful. The doctor told me that he was unable to find my IUD strings and recommended me for surgery. They sent me into a bit of a tailspin and sat back my husband and my hopes to get pregnant. After this appointment, I was no longer able to find my IUD strings, they had suddenly disappeared. Two weeks later I was seeing at Planned Parenthood, they immediately found my strings and pull the thing out. Of course, I am still being charged full price for the terrible experience I had with the male doctor at Enloe.

Anita Servin Came here for some lab work. It’s not my first time, and they are fast. It’s always a short wait. Also tell me why they have the friendliest people here? They are all so nice. How did they manage to hire all these nice people?

Sean dent The rooms in this place are very small and incredibly warm and stuffy. Dont even think about bringing your baby to any appointments with you Sort of ruined the experience of seeing our babies first ultrasound :/

Brooklyn Vander Eyk I left actually in tears after just getting a IUD consultation. Susan Guevara is actually the worst medical professional I have ever met or interacted with in my life. The receptionists were great and so nice, but truly do not see Susan Guevara.

Michelle Mayfield I have had a great experience here. Dr. Hitch is skillful, knowledgeable, and personable. She and the nurses prioritize patient comfort and safety, and it has cultivated my great sense of trust in all of them. I am very grateful to have received prenatal care at Enloe Womens Services.

Amanda Kemp I had Dr. Wenberg for my first pregnancy and now my second. Shes compassionate, caring, and is always eager to help me with making appointments to get more fluids because of my morning sickness. I had an emergency C-section for my first pregnancy and she delivered my son. She made it less traumatic by being amazing.

Amber Larson I truly love this spot. Staff is friendly and helpful. I received a tubal ligation here successfully and continue to see Dr. Hitch for any of my womens health needs. Dr. Hitch is cool af, super smart and efficient.
