The Best 11 MEDICAL SERVICES near Hanford, CA (Part 2)

Andres Tinoco I was there today. My appointment was at 3, waited there for 3 hours for my doctor to see me. Then my name was called but my driver was the one who called for me, to tell me she was there to pick me up. Mind you, drivers are there to pick you up until 5 oclock and she thought I was already done when I was not. So after my driver left, now...NOW they called me to come see the doctor. So I have to reschedule my appointment to next week. I mean they could have just told me about the results. And the front lady on the 3rd floor called the drivers company, trying to blame it on the driver. Thats not okay.

Review Guy How could these guys cancelled appointments without consent? My wife called and advising them that we’ll be running a little late ? I was told that the grace period is 15mins but I was told by a supervisor back then that it was 30 mins ? Can adventist health clarify this stuff cause we tried our best to make time for these appointments and these people don’t even help us out. They rescheduled my wife on the day of her birthday. How convenient is that.

Sherry Ferreira I went here for my first time yesterday. Dr. Pigford is who I saw. I have not seen a better doctor since I was a kid in Dinuba. He was very attentive and listened to me. My other Dr never paid attention to me. I truly was blessed yesterday for such prompt service. The nurse Tiffany who took my vitals was amazing. Very concerned and helped me very well. The receptionist was also very nice. The lady by the door when you walk in was very welcoming. I am so glad I found this place. They didnt make me feel like a burden in anyway! Thank you so much!

Melonie C I do NOT recommend this place! They have now scheduled me TWICE for a visit in which I showed up and the provider wasn’t there and wasn’t working that day! Then they try to lie and say they called me but my voicemail was full (they didn’t call, my voicemail is NEVER full ). The unprofessionalism and the lack of ability to do their jobs is astonishing. Then they want to laugh about the whole situation. The drive time alone is an hour and a half to get there ! I couldn’t tell anyone to stay further away !

Cynthia Sanchez This place is great. Nurses were kind and very respectful. I was in for two procedures a week apart. I felt comfortable and was able to ask many questions.

Jesse Castillo Very unprofessional place to make the patients driver wait hours at the office. Like yall cant call us when the patient is ready to be picked up?? Like why do we have to wait here? Are they going to feed me waiting for 4 hours? Are they going to make me hold the patients hand while being operated on?? So stupid. THANKS FOR NO HEADS UP ON HAVING TO WAIT HOURS. Wish I knew to be prepared!!!!

Carmello Nesta I’ve had two great experiences delivering at Kaweah and would recommend it to any other moms. Any nurse I came across during my visit was so sweet and respectful and very good at their job. I went into spontaneous labor two weeks early in the middle of the night and had to arrive by ambulance. It was very intense and very fast so I appreciate the hospital and its staff for delivering my healthy baby girl. Thank you

Nichole Hawley In December of 2019, I almost died because of this hospital. On a Friday I went to the ER, because I couldnt breathe. I couldnt even eat because opening my mouth to take a bite, caused me to be extremely short of breathe. I sat in the waiting room for 6+ hours, got the run around and wasnt even offered a breathing treatment. When I finally saw Dr. Lucero, he said I had a little bit of pneumonia, it was no big deal. He gave me an Augmentin tablet and a Norco, ordered a prescription, and then said I needed to leave. My BP was 180/100. I asked multiple times if he was sure I should go, because I couldnt even breathe. He said, "You are a young healthy girl, you need to go!" I left. Took me 30 minutes to walk to my ride who was out side the surgery doors, because I could not breathe to even walk. Over the next 2 days, I got worse. Fever was so bad, one extreme to the next and I couldnt get it to break with over the counter meds. Sunday afternoon I decided to go to Urgent Care, because I felt even worse. At urgent care they were concerned because I couldnt hold my breathe for even half a second, they said I had to go to the ER. I cried, because I kept thinking Id get the same crappy Doctor I had already had. I got a ride to the ER, and the first person I came into contact with at the check in desk, told me I couldnt breathe because I had anxiety and I needed to calm down. They checked me in and took me back right away because my symptoms had worsened and I had been there only 2.5 days prior. They put me in zone one and asked me to change co I could do an x-ray. I couldnt breathe, so I couldnt even get my shirt off. They immediately took me to Zone 2. My experience in Zone 2 is the only reason why I can give 2 starts. I would give 0 stars based on my interaction with Dr. Lucero a couple days prior. Zone 2 was amazing. My o2 was in the low 80s, even with high flow oxygen. They hooked me up to antibiotics, steroids, and got my labs going. Based on my 19 whit blood count, plus all the other symptoms, they told me I was septic. The doctor told me if I had waited one more day to come in, I probably would have came in intubated or even worse. I had 2 different types of pneumonia, a viral and bacterial. The viral pneumonia was later discovered to be COVID. They ordered all the things, and later admitted me. I did have an anaphylaxis reaction to the CT Contrast (no ones fault, didnt know i was severely allergic to it.) The Zone 2 staff handled it amazing and got me back. The Zone 2 staff was absolutely amazing. Its ashame that my first experience was with such a horrible doctor. Did I mention I worked at this hospital? Ya, I did, and he knew it, because I was on my lunch break when I decided to go to the ER. Nothing happened to this doctor, and I felt completely unheard. The ER Director came to talk with me while I was in the hospital, and he must have mentioned 12 times it was his day off and his daughter was waiting on him. Even working there, I was completely unheard and my life almost being lost didnt matter. He was a doctor, and I was just a tech. Even being an employee at this facility didnt get me decent treatment.

Sylvia Ayala Believe me, the only reason I’m giving five star is because of Dr. Eric Sorensen. The receptionist that I talk to on the phone was rude she thought she knew everything I just don’t understand why they have to be so rude to people and then when I called back to talk to the manager then I was scheduled for an appointment. Dr. Sorensen is wonderful I will always go back to him.

Jose Diaz As soon as you walk in you’re greeted with ugly attitudes. Useless staff in the front. Why work if you’re gonna have a nasty attitude

Jessica Torrez I dont understand why this place has so many bad reviews. The staff is amazing. Never rude. I think the longest ive waited in the waiting area was 5 minutes. Ive never had issues getting through to them over the phone or having to wait forever on the phone. Theyve always made sure to help me out and give me answers. Dr. Javali is the most caring, sweetest, and understandable doctor here. Only once theyve had to reschedule me, but thats just life, things happen. If you need to be seen right away and its that big of an emergency go to your nearest hospital.

mike Rio This place is literal trash. My partner tried many times to set up an appointment with them and they wouldnt even answer. And now that she got an appointment, they literally cancelled on her at the last minute. And this appointment is for a pregnancy check up. They rescheduled her for next month. In which it is far too long to wait while pregnant

shelley batti Went to go see my psychiatrist Oscar fajardo he was very unprofessional and quite rude when I was in his office I was teary-eyed and very upset I showed him a list of my diagnoses and he proceeded to be very hateful and show no compassion whatsoever. This was not the first time he has treated me like that I just figured he was having a bad day and I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I just saw him one day last week he was still unprofessional and lacked a bedside personality. I will not be returning to Adventist Health mental health and I for sure will not be a patient of his again. My apologies to Adventist Health I have had no bad experiences with them just with Oscar fajardo. Everyone has been nice to me there except for him.

Emily Phillips My experience with Adventist Health has been extremely disappointing. It seems there is a significant gap in patient care and responsiveness within this organization. I have reached out to their Risk Management team multiple times over an incident of negligence that occurred with one of their providers, this includes over ten phone calls and three emails, yet I have not received any response. This lack of communication raises concerns about the level of attention and care provided to patients, who deserve more than simply being treated as another insurance claim. It’s unfortunate that the community does not have more reliable access to high-quality, compassionate healthcare services. It’s surprising that there seems to be ample time for monitoring reviews, yet follow-up on calls and emails remains unaddressed.

Jose Garcia Bad managerial practice!

Ashley Im pregnant with my first child and I was having the most horrible time eating drinking and vomiting 3-5 times a day with non stop nausea, i couldnt even leave my bed. I came to the doctors for help here because they were able to get me in quickly and I used to have a good experience here in the past. Unfortunately that wasnt the case this time, they prescribed me 4-5 different medications and nothing was working for me and I would have to come back every week because I was so desperate for anything. I was concerned also because I was missing out on work for weeks already at this point using my personal/sick time and asked the doctors if they can do anything for me to get time off so I wouldnt get fired. They said it wasnt a good enough reason to even get a few days off work excused because my severe sickness is normal for them. I kept going back because at this point no other doctor would see me for weeks out. I was also experiencing depression & anxiety I told them i was getting seen for over a year. My therapist was on leave so I couldnt ask her for time off during this. The OBGYN male doctor in charge made me uncomfortable and asked me in a room full of 5 people why I was depressed and I got so anxious i could barely speak in front of everyone and he still asked me to say everything again in front of everybody making it a horrible experience to say my traumas as if it wasn’t personal to me. I even asked a female doctor and told her I wasn’t comfortable with him and if I can just remain with a female but she didnt listen and still scheduled me with him again. They dont really care to help you here and bring in all there trainees to deal with you in a vulnerable time and I never got the same doctor so I had to explain myself over and over every appointment. I found a new private doctor in Visalia and on the first day he understood me and gave me all the time I needed off from work for my sickness during pregnancy. Its so unfortunate how they treat you here at this place. If you’re pregnant do not come here. You and you’re babys health deserves better
