The Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near Palm Springs, CA (Part 2)

Rachel Freed I’d read negative things on-line about ER services in Palm Springs but when I had a cat bite get infected the staff at the Eisenhower Urgent Care in Palm Springs took excellent care of me. I went in early on a Sunday morning and was seen in five minutes. Everyone was knowledgeable and professional and I was out the door - with a tetanus shot and a prescription for antibiotics and a pain reliever - within 30 minutes. I highly recommend this facility.

Rbsjmc The staff at this facility are always wonderful. Kind , professional and always have a thorough plan to address whatever is ailing me. I’m so grateful to them. The front desk. The nurses. The PAs and the doctors. I’ve never had an experience there less than perfect. How lucky we are to have such a great urgent care here in PS.

Pelumi Olaleye First time visiting. So many great things about this hospital. The area is breathtaking; as soon as you get into the area there’s this peace and calmness. Secondly, l I appreciated every interaction I had with the office staff here. From the moment I got lost in the building I went into the women’s clinic and one of staff’s literally walked with me all the way back downstairs and around the building to where I needed to be. Then the checkin/checkout process. Everything from start to finish was absolutely stress free. I highly recommend this hospital.

C. Vest Always clean, expedient, and professional.

Genna Lyn Braun Dr. Agarwal is so wonderful & made sure I was comfortable with the procedure I was about to undergo. She is extremely patient (answered all of my MANY questions), kind, & made me feel at ease with everything. Knowing that she was going to be out of town after my surgery, she made sure that I was given an appointment for a checkup before she left. With her I know that she genuinely cares & that I am in the best hands. Maisa is Dr. Agarwals right-hand woman & is as sweet as they come. She has helped me throughout this entire process & continues to do so. You can tell she works really hard & I feel truly lucky that she is a part of Dr. Agarwals team. She is without a doubt an absolute asset! :)

gregory barden No call back. Office people playing games on computers and eating snacks. Leave a message no call back. Call the office during hours, no answer.

Roxana Martinez They are not nice to people that have a bad day or not have a good day and they are rubes stuffed and not friendly and not clean hospital. And not happy stuff!!

ka mu Desert regional radiology was great. I needed an MRI, my first, and they were all professional, courteous and timely. From the registration staff, the MRI staff and the the director. Great experience overall.

Miguel Ramirez Last year dr Jamison did a hiatal hernia repair. From The beginning Doctor Jamison treated me very poorly with a bad attitude. He did what I now was told was an unnecessary Incision opening me from Upper abdomen to belly button which I must say Was very painful during recovery And the Tylenol for pain that he prescribed me didnt even come close to Helping. He did not even attempt to fix the hernia. And the sleeve put on my asophagus slipped. I assume by the second week. Cause thats when I started feeling bad again. His solution was eat more yogurt. I had to sleep practically sitting up I started having Back pain issues, fluid Would come up my asophagus for no apparent reason. I was a 100% worse. Needless to say, I just got my new surgery a week ago to Fix everything he did. It took my new surgeon 6 hours. To fix and Repair. My Colon was out of line. My stomach pushed aside, which started sticking to the inner wall. I dont know if I was one in a million That he screwed up with or if he just didnt like me, but just be careful. Do your homework on him.

Trevor Wheeler These guys are absolutely great. They very quickly got me in for an inguinal hernia surgery and made sure that I was accommodated through the whole process. Everything from listening to my concerns to being able to call them in case of emergency 24/7... they do it all here. The staff is some of the best Ive seen in the medical field for a long time. Front desk always has a smile, and even remembered my name when I came in! Jamieson was also great to talk to, very transparent and great at answering my questions. My insurance chose this place for me, but I really hit the jackpot. Thanks to the team for everything, if I had the power of choice then I would always return here in the event of injury/surgery.

Lydia Smith I love the staff of the Eisenhower Health Centers. I cant remember ever having an issue with anyone Ive dealt with. They are always very warm, friendly, kind, and professional! I am happy to utilize them as my health care team!

Polarity Medicine This is an amazing and efficient center from start to finish. The front desk staff was courteous and efficient. Our nurse Keith was so incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He took great care of us from start to finish. Dr. Levian has a profound wealth of expertise with a wonderful bedside manner. He did a fantastic repair of my friend’s hand. Thank you so much for all you do!

D G Terrible. Im paying 138 a month, insurance doesnt cover covid testing, Im coughing really bad, congested and am in pain. They said I have to get tested before they can prescribe something, So I go out and have to buy a covid test, results were negative, I must have the flu/fever. Called back trying to get some better meds.Was told they left messages to the dr to send a referal/prescription to the pharmacy, i understand the DR must be busy but we are on Day 3 of calling trying to get some medicine. Literally health insurance is such a scam and waste, whats the point. i paid copay over the phone and got ZERO SERVICE for 3 days. Get your facts correct. I was told i would recieve a call back for the initial missed call. This office will really make you feel like crap, when your already feeling like crap. Zero help. ive been a patient here for a little over 2 years. worst experience ever. still waiting for someone to call me. still waiting to get medicine for my sickness. paid money zero service. "Your health and satisfaction are our priority, and we hope to address this promptly to improve your experience. Please reach out so we can assist you further". :.............

Christina Breiling The front desk staff are amazing! Lupita and Elvira were great checking us in and answering all of our questions. Super friendly and courteous something I always look for when seeing any doctor. Dr. Alicia Rios listens to you and really cares about her patients. She made my mom feel better after seeing different doctors. That is why I had my daughter and husband start seeing her too.

Aaron Adamski In September I scheduled a new patient appointment for the earliest date they had available which was end of January 2025. Today they called and said they are no longer taking new patients on that day and would have to reschedule me to March 30, 2025. Awful experience for new patients, they dont have enough providers. Stay away and go see someone at West Dermatology instead!

Tony Roberts Outstanding service Outstanding Doctor and Outstanding staff. I highly recommend Dr Devito for skin problems.

Dennis Utterberg I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gonzalez for about two years. My experience with both the doctor and the office staff has been superior to any other providers in the area. The doctor listens to me when I have concerns and will fully explain the pros and cons to all avenues of treatments. I really appreciate his approach. The office staff are very friendly, helpful and just generally want to help the patients with whatever they need!

Keith Ference I have Dr. Gonzales as my primary doctor and I would highly recommend him. He is the first doctor where I just dont feel like I am a number. He takes an extra amount of time to go over all of my test results, as well as asking me lots of questions on how I am feeling. I have never had a primary doctor take this much time with me. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. His staff is always very friendly and helpful.

Nina MawMaw Let’s be real! Nobody wakes up excited for an OB-GYN appointment. But with Dr. Lisa Boden, I might just be the exception! She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, but she also has this magical ability to make even the most awkward moments feel totally normal. She listens, she cares, and she explains things in a way that makes sense (without making you feel like you need a medical degree to understand). If you’re looking for an OB-GYN who’s both brilliant and actually fun to talk to, Dr. Boden is the one. Highly recommend!

Katleen Nika Magsino called multiple times to confirm my schedule, had my appointment set up a month ago. A day before my appointment, they confirmed if Im coming to their Palm dessert clinic and not Palm springs and I said yes. today I came in the clinic early saying the scheduler messed up the appointment and I have to go back to Palm Springs instead. Very annoying, I ended up having a cancelled appointment and offering another appointment on February. VERYYYY ANNOYED right now!

Ken S I had the best experience at Eisenhower primary care at Rimrock today. The entire staff was wonderful and accommodating from check-in to check out, everything went quickly and smoothly. Dr. Schiessl and nurse John were awesome!

Tracy Sear I wish Dr. Mondino hadnt had to leave Eisenhower, but Dr. Azhar is wonderful. I wish the same could be said for the organization. Please either staff this location properly or or provide better training for your employees.

Amanda Keppel Absolute worst office and dermatologist ever. The dermatologist was quick to cut me off in my concerns, and was super quick to prescribe creams. I got prescribes 4 or 5 creams in one quick 10 minute visit. He told me there was nothing to do about some of my concerns and only burnt off half of the patches on my hand leaving the other half untreated. To be frankly honest I dont know how some of these people got hired. Trying to make an appointment is near impossible and the staff is just overall super rude.

Frank Escobar I recently had the privilege of visiting the Palm Springs Skin and Cancer Institute, and I am delighted to share my experience with you. From the moment I walked through their doors, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for the exceptional care I received throughout my visit. First and foremost, the expertise of the medical staff at the Skin and Cancer Institute is truly commendable. The doctors and specialists are highly knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated to providing the best possible care for their patients. They took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, thoroughly examined my skin, and provided me with a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan. The facility itself is modern, clean, and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Jordan Knight Dr. Gundry has been treating me and my entire family for over a decade. He has made us all healthier and I would put money on it that he is also adding decades to our lives! Yes, he does sell a lot of supplements- but honestly he makes good products. He provides so much information for free, he deserves to make a buck! This man is an encyclopedia and continues to learn and research to this day.

Melody S. I reached out to Dr. Gundrys office in July to help me with the aftermath of chemo. For the past 18 months, I have been battling stage three cancer and its toll on my body. My decision was influenced by his ad on Instagram, with promising solutions for inflammation and gut issues. Debbie, from his office emailed that a series of blood draws and labs would be required, for a cost of $1300 to $1600 which my insurance would not cover. The email listed two labs for me to contact, with a specific directive not to use Quest or Lab Corp. Tracy Brown from LL Labs called me, an entity not mentioned in the email, to schedule an appointment for an out of pocket fee. I was left perplexed as to how they acquired my contact, considering privacy laws. I soon learned that Laurie Acuna, the founder of LL Labs, is also an employee in Dr. Gundrys office. On 9/19 When Laurie arrived at my home, she did not use the vials provided by the lab companies. Instead, she took all the boxes containing the vials, which raised concerns about the handling of my medical information. On 10/2, Luz at Dr. Gundrys office emailed me, stating that the test called Myeloperoxidase (MPO) needed to be retested, as the phlebotomist had failed to provide a sample, requesting that I go to Quest for the redraw. When I contacted Tracy at LL Labs, she appeared displeased and promptly ended the conversation. On 10/5, I received an email from Susan Lokken, Dr. Gundrys office manager, saying that the error lay not with the phlebotomist but rather with Cleveland, for losing the vial. Once again, I reached out to Tracy at LL Labs, and her response was terse and unhelpful. I explained that shortly I would be undergoing two challenging surgeries, all while battling pneumonia. She agreed to send Laurie back for one vial of blood, albeit at a very high additional cost, which took me by surprise. I left a message for Dr. Gundrys office to try to resolve this issue. On 10/18, the day after my mastectomy, I received an email from Jessenia P. in Dr. Gundry’s office, asking me to go to Quest for the blood draw. In response, over email, I expressed my disappointment, explaining that the purpose of paying LL Labs was to avoid the long lines at a lab. I subsequently received an email from Susan Lokken, Dr. Gundrys office manager informing me, "there was no mistake made and no one failed". She said I had high potassium levels in my blood sample so they could not run the (MPO) test." She emphasized that this was not LL Labs fault. I encountered three different explanations for the missing vial of blood. Only two weeks prior, Ms. Lokken had emailed me that the Cleveland Lab had most likely lost the vial of blood. At every juncture, the priority seemed to be protecting their colleague, the founder of LL Labs. Unfortunately, I had no recourse with LL Labs, given that it is a family-run enterprise, leaving no avenue for addressing grievances. Ms. Lokken informed me that she was the only office manager for Dr. Gundrys practice and asserted that nothing unethical had occurred. She firmly defended LL Labs, and declared they did "NOTHING" wrong and there was nothing more to discuss, essentially dismissing my concerns. She further accused me of impoliteness toward staff, a matter that left me perplexed, as the majority of my interactions with Dr. Gundrys office occurred through email due to difficulties reaching anyone by phone. It is a familiar tactic, often employed by unprofessional office staff when faced with patient concerns - attempting to deflect the issue by blaming the patient for being abusive. I am left with concerns about the treatment of patients in this practice. While I understand that misunderstandings occur, I believe it is important to prioritize patient care, open communication, and empathy. I question whether these principles are consistently upheld within this office. Patients who seek out Dr. Gundrys office are dealing with very difficult health issues and should receive the highest standard of care and support. Unfortunately, that is not the case here.

Daniel Jose Martinez (RUHS DHS) Great recovery from substance abuse and parenting programs available to get your life and/or kids back! Mental health services are also available and strongly recommend whether youve considered it or not? Cant hurt, I say. Has helped me tremendously in staying sober and creating structure in my life. (Not sure if PS location offers this also?) Great place, too, though.

Nancy Stevens I am a disabled person in a wheelchair who has lived in and received care at a local nursing home. I went to see dr Quinones (I should’ve read all past reviews on her at past locations of practice before seeing this provider) she yelled at me practically the whole time, repeating that she’s a Dr and doesn’t need me to talk bc she knows everything. She kept saying she’s a patient advocate and I’m not an advocate (belittled me most of the long appt) I kept asking to leave to file a complaint or speak with her supervisor and ask for a change of provider, but she laughed at me and told me she is the supervisor of the building, and to turn around and look at her. I cried 90% of the visit, kept telling me aggressively to look at her while she was talking, told me to look at the screen when I could t read one single word on the screen,, and she refused to sign any of my DMV placard, TRIP program for the disabled, or FMLA paperwork, would not let me explain anything about my very rare diseases that can attack every part of my body inside and out, stating she already knew everything about these diseases, she yelled at me to hang up the phone over and over, and poked me again and again pretty hard in my arm to tell me to hang it up, told me I don’t need anyone in my appointment with me. She said my mom is scamming the system by being one of my essential caregivers because she lives out of state, when it doesn’t matter where the essential caregiver lives. She told me to be quiet when I said she was inputting inaccurate medical symptoms. When I told her that my mom works as a claims adjuster for insurance and that I’m an advocate in the disability p, aging, and long term care sector, she did a complete 180, and dint continue telling me to hang up with my mom and talked on call with my mom, my mom had to defend herself saying she was not going to get any money from any govt agency, and stated that she helps with both mental and physical health needs. The provider still never let me speak unless I was answering her questions. She asked me some of the names of my orgs, then left the room, when she came back she held the exam room door open and I saw someone’s leg of a person standing outside the door. The only time she was calm or what resembled nice was the last 5 min. She asked me if I went to college or not. I told her no. She wrote in my moms portion of her FMLA when I asked her not to, she said just be quiet she knows wheat she is doing. She told me to tell her what to put down in her portion of the paperwork where it talked about my diseases in the last two min of my appointment, which was the opposite of what she kept saying prior…that she knows everything about my diseases when she kept telling me to stop talking, just let her talk. I don’t remember medical transport taking me home, and when I got back home to my nursing home, I was not able to move an inch and lost 5 hours from the retraumatization of CPTSD. The nurse was comforting when she came in at the very end after provider left. I won’t talk about that though. She has to deal with the provider at work. Provider came back to hand me her business card in front of nurse, and said “incase you need my full name”

GQ Suave They have my pregnant girl in pain came in @3pm on the bus, they checked us out @12am when the busses stopped running. They refused to give her a room in the hospital though she is still in pain after all the non-noxiousness shots they gave her during the appointment, and they still refuse her the room. Shes currently still in pain and sleeping in the "LOBBY" pregnant in pain till later on in the morning as I post this review.

Lydia Smith Dr. Kevin Wong is such a wonderful doctor!!! His bedside manner is amazing and he truly listens to the things I say. He is willing to look at alternative options to find whats best for me! The staff is also so great, especially on the procedure side. I am so thankful that Ive found such an awesome health team!!! I honestly cant put into words how happy I am with my experiences here.

Susan Robbins It was 21yrs in October since I became a patient at the Comprehensive Cancer Center. I had breast cancer 21yrs ago and I had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. I received wonderful treatment and care. Ive never stopped being a patient and see an oncologist every 6 months and have all my screenings and scans done there. My breast cancer returned last year and it was diagnosed at an early stage. I chose to have a mastectomy. Again, wonderful care and treatment. When youve been a continuous patient somewhere for 21yrs, you get a very strong feeling for the place. I feel no fear when I enter the building. I know Im going to receive the best treatment possible and that puts my mind at ease.

James Davis Everything about this center is a nightmare especially doing simple things like an MRI, making an appointment, switching an appointment and finding a direct phone number is impossible. I have been connected to tech support, maintenance and even had appointments that are confirmed not be there on the same day. Twice Ive reached a recording that says, “please enter your mailbox number. What? Today was 5 calls for a total of 50 minutes. What a mess.

Juhztin PH We are so grateful to all of the staff specially to the receptionist next to laboratory who helped and did her best to assist us ( sorry I didnt get your name). Also to Kimberly, Arlene and Grace who help my mom. No amount of words to express how thankful we are for all your hard work and dedication to assist us all and made sure everything is well-attended. Thanks to all of you

Michael Snow Johnny the RN that did my clinic testing was absolutely wonderful. Professional, courteous...The two women at check in desk wonderful and friendly, professional. All around 5star staff.

Antonia Contreras The dap dental for adults in cathedral city has such an amazing staff! They are very welcoming and polite thank you Anita Garcia and Ely Felix for being so cordial and professional. The dentist Monica Lenhof is just the sweetest dentist I’ve ever meet in my life she is just so caring and genuine almost like very motherly let alone she actually tries to get to know her patients and calms the anxiety and nerves you have going in there! I highly recommend this dental office to anyone who lives in the area. I’ve had very bad experiences with other dental offices and their staff members where they just seem so miserable and are very rude. This dental office staff go above and beyond to meet you needs! Not only that they are on top of appointment reminders as well. Trust me if you have had any bad experiences in the past with dental offices. This dental office will change your way of trust towards dental offices!

Sausha Arnold First thing their staff is very RUDE over the phone REFUSEING my little 8 yr old a visit, and telling me I can take him to an urgent care instead. This is the second time their staff has refused my son a visit. I should report their whole clinic. Very RUDE, and really not concerned about your childrens health at all! Take your children anywhere but here!
