The Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near Paso Robles, CA (Part 2)

Theresa Ontiveros I found Dr. Blacketer to be friendly and very concerned about my health. She educated me about some of my medications and helped me devise a future health plan. I felt she showed me her full attention and explained things really well. I was happy with my visit and very glad I met her. All the staff were very friendly.

travis sitler For those who have C.H.c., if you are looking for a great primary doctor, and if you want to have it at a really good location, then the following information might be very important! First of all, if you choose to go to the Templeton C.H.C. location, they are the most friendliest people, very inviting, and well organized! They are also very punctual when they confirm your appointments, if anything got canceled, and anything in between. Plus, if you use their pharmacy for your prescriptions, they are super efficient and fast! However, it does not stop there. If you need a really good primary Doctor at that location, Bethany Blacketer is the one to have! I must say, she is very thorough, she totally knows about high blood pressure, how to control it, what to do in terms of weight loss, and she can get you going in the right direction. She is very warm, upbeat, and she makes you feel better if you are one of those who is apprehensive about going to the doctor. When it comes to having your lab work read, she is very self-explanatory about your labs, she can give you some ideas about some improvements, and anything that might be important. Plus, if you have any questions, she will always answer your questions! She listens, she is very understanding, and she earns a gold star, perhaps a platinum.

Mark Were so fortunate to have Dr. Angelucci on the Central Coast! Both my wife and I have been patients for years. Shes extremely knowledge, genuinely cares, and goes above & beyond with follow-ups, referrals, and patient communication. The whole office is always stellar. And Neal, the office manager, is the absolute best! Wonderful team and were so grateful to be patients.

Avery OBrien I just re established care and had an appointment with Leanne Kent. I can’t say enough good things! She took the time to review my medical history very throughly, was educational and beyond pleasant to engage with. I felt so supported annd we even discussed a lot of preventative care to improve the longevity of my life and happiness. I know PCP isn’t accepting new patients currently but Leanne is worth the wait.

Kristin Zaitz Helen Cominos and Dr. Kromhout are both fantastic. The appointment was easy to make, they got me scheduled quickly, wait time was short once in the office. During the visit, Helen made me feel like my time and concerns were important, and she gave me thoughtful evaluation and input.

Hannah Hogue Front desk is always so nice! Saw Helen today for the first time and she was amazing! Very personable and caring! Have also seen Dr K and he is great too !

Maria Sandoval I was taking by Rescue to the hospital cause I was extremely sick I got Covid All the staff incredibly protective and very professional They treated me very nicely

Thomas Riley I spent 5 months here, and I had the best care possible. The nurses in Med/Surg., were top notch. The orthopedic surgeons did an outstanding job on my foot and leg. The orthopedic outpatient nurses were phenomenal. The surgeons Dr. Cook, Dr. Krueger, and Dr. Fry were awesome. I will never forget all that everyone did there. You saved my life and I will always be grateful for that.

Niku V Hello Los Robles Hospital team, I would like to share my incredible experience with Los Robles Hospital during delivery of my child. The entire process was made so smooth thanks to the incredible staff, nurses, and doctors. They were very supportive and took the time to explain every step in detail. They fostered a positive environment that helped me recover faster and provided up-to-date information in advance, which brought me peace of mind. I’d like to recognize the amazing team: Nurses: Lesli, Karen, Gina, Irene, Brittany, Brittany and nurse director. Doctors: Dr. Grace Lee, Dr. Tan, Dr. Chan, Dr. Patel, and the other staff present during my delivery. I apologize if I have not mentioned the nurses and doctors names that have helped me during my delivery. I had a C-section delivery, and even after being discharged, I’ve been recovering quickly thanks to the guidance provided by the nurses and doctors on what to expect at home. A special thank you to the lactation team, Nurse Cindy and Nurse Jen. I had difficulty with breast engorgement, and when I called the hospital the same day, they responded promptly and provided helpful advice that resolved my issue. The hospital also followed up after my discharge to ensure both the baby and I were doing well. Thank you to the Los Robles team for providing such positive, supportive, and comprehensive care that helps patients heal both physically and mentally. I would highly recommend this hospital for labor and delivery! Thank you again, it was the best delivery experience I had with my second baby.

Finally off stage I am more qualified than most of your clientele to rate your surgical crew in the Cardiology Operating Room. I have been in operating rooms for 9 surgeries and 2 procedures. I think they are a crack crew that are all dedicated to doing their jobs and are attentive to their patients. They did their best to make me feel safe and comfortable. I hope its the last time I venture into surgery, but if I had to and got my choice, your crew would be my first pick.

Lisa Campbell I have had two successful back surgeries with Dr. Carr. He also operated on my husband’s neck years ago. We have been so happy with the results and his office staff has been great. Highly recommend him!!

Sandy Macias Dr. Carr did a fusion in 2017. Something is just not right. My back goes out then I can’t even take a step forward without so much pain I almost pass out. He insists there is nothing wrong. If there is one piece of advice I can give anyone is do not have back surgery. Biggest regret of my life. I’m a registered nurse and I can’t say I’ve ever seen success. I was also put off when he told me to see him after a MRI and when I called. His staff said “that’s why we are here, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about “. Very unprofessional. While waiting in the waiting room overheard staff arguing with a patient on the phone then heard all about it after the call. I’m finally finished with this office. So many bad experiences and I keep going back hoping he can help me. He can’t.

Tiffany Avina First time patient at Posada Ambulatory Surgery Center having a salpingectomy. Outside of waiting in the office lobby for 30 minutes my overall experience was great. The nurse who stood out the most was Sunny. She is kind hearted, funny, personable and just a beautiful person inside and out.

Gianna Hampton Everyone is so nice and compassionate here; they take the time to explain every step and to provide comfort. Sunny especially helped make the pre-surgical time less scary for me, in the waiting room I started feeling very nervous (light headed) but as soon as Sunny took over her personable demeanor made me feel calm and less alone.

Steven Smith Good

Castillo Fernando “Foodnando” It is so nice to have a campus in the north county. It is always growing. It is so great not to have to drive over the grade to go to college. If you want to just take a couple of night classes to stay fresh this is definitely a great campus

Michaela Mastache The people here really care and it shows. I’ve had the misfortune of needing to bring my kitty there twice. They performed great diagnostics, were up front about costs and risks and really helped me make the best decision for my kitty. I never want anyone to have to go to the pet ER, but if you do, this is the place. Also both times were way more affordable than I expected them to be with what was going on.

Amy Pupa We had a wonderful experience getting our puppy neutered here. The staff was friendly and informative, and it was hundreds of dollars more affordable than our vet in SLO. Very glad I made this choice and would recommend to anyone! He was back to his normal self the next day and never bothered the stitches once. Great work is done here!!

Oma Knox Dr Berry is a fantastic physician. She is incredibly smart and thorough. She is personable and really listens during your visits and takes great care of her patients. We are so lucky to have her in our community.

SherriKetch I have been a patient of Dr. Berry since she first opened her practice. She has always been amazing. She is very personable, patient and takes her time to listen. Love having a home town doctor.

Kai Sanson This review is mostly for Dr. Clark. I have seen Dr. Clark 2 times and can say that she has been one of the best physicians I have ever been to. She has a perfect balance of being both professional and caring. She takes time to explain things in detail and also took into account that I was worried about a huge bill after my visit, so we tried basic solutions first for my tinnitus and it is working. Ive had a long history of ear issues, and she took the time to hear my story and go from there. I would highly recommend her and I have no doubt she will be swamped with clients soon. Review would be 5++ stars for Dr. Clark. The office is going through huge transitions and was difficult to contact, needed a referral from my primary, and other hiccups, but the staff was doing their best.

Vanessa Tambayong Medical Clinic at Higuera aka Pacific Central Coast Health Center - The WORST hospital I’ve ever gone to in my life. My biggest regret! They don’t even deserve a star at all. Is there an option to give them NEGATIVE STARS? I had to wait for 7 months to schedule a preventative care. And on the day of my appointment, I had to wait for over 3.5 hours just to be seen by the doctor. The doctor never followed up on my blood test result nor responded to my message. And their billing process is a nightmare. It took over a year to answer my multiple inquiries on the billing code and they accidentally sent me over to collection while I was waiting for their response with unanswered follow-ups. At the end, they still overcharged me. If you want to go to a healthcare provider which focuses on MONEY MAKING only, then go here. They don’t even care if you are dead or alive, as long as they take your money.

Stacie Horton I visited on a weekend and was seen quickly, despite a full waiting room. I saw PA Michael Blackwell who did a chest x-ray to confirm that I had pneumonia and prescribed medication and did a follow up visit to confirm it was gone. He went above and beyond and tested me for Valley Fever. I have been there in the past for a UTI and they dispense the medication from the office. Its so hard to get into my primary care provider and I feel very re-assured to have Urgent Care of Atascadero there when I need them!

Tim W Have visited urgent care for stitches coughs and colds. Michael is very informative and has always answered my questions. This is a great facility. Would highly recommend. Thank you for all you have done.

Nancy Jo Doughty Dr. Silvas is a very good doctor with good bedside manners. He has helped me get through the loss of our daughter and through a couple of tough medical difficults. His staff is excellent.

Lisa Maxwell Dr Silvas is several of my clients primary physician. I am a professional care manager and I work with multiple doctors in the county and Dr. Silvas has always been very accommodating to me and my clients. The staff are always so cheerful and they take my calls as a priority and expidite urgent needs which my clients are grateful for. I highly recommend Dr Silvas he is a top notch professional.

Judy Wilson Hi This is Judys husband making this review. Why this guy does not have 5 stars from everyone is beyond me! I had cancerous tissue removed above my left eye. The Dermatologist that did it took a chunk of skin out larger than a quarter to ensure he got all the cancer. Needless to say, I was shocked when I saw the results. I thought I would be permanently disfigured. He referred me to Dr. Bukachevsky for "repair" after the biopsy came back with a good report. Dr. Bukachevsky thoroughly analyzed the situation then proceeded to stitch me up so excellently he even accommodated some preexisting asymmetry between my left and right eye areas! It will take awhile to heal, but I am absolutely AMAZED at what Dr. Bukachevsky was able to do for me. I would not hesitate to go back to him. Fact is a little facial work is sounding good about now at my age! LOL!

Dave Maltone To whom this may concern, I would not recommend this man to anyone, should have read the reviews , I have never been treated as unconcerned as this so-called doctor treated me in his office! After having a CAT scan, and then a brain MRI, I was finally cleared to see an ENT doctor for further diagnostics of my situation, which was a sudden loss of hearing in my left side with pain and pressure, so finally, after waiting months to get into see him, a man came into the room, supposedly the doctor, and asked me why I was there, I assumed he would know why I was there as all the records were forwarded to him before my visit,. I told him, and then he said that it sounds like I need a hearing test??? My insurance approved him for five different tests that he was to do to evaluate my hearing loss, pain and pressure, none of which he did at all, absolutely did nothing! And just said I need to go get a hearing test and that he would set it up in a couple of days. It’s been almost 2 weeks. I’ve never heard nothing and that is not the answer to what’s going on? I question him, asking him to at least check my nose or eardrum for pressure, He just brushed me off and outright refused to do it! I’ve never been treated as bad as that in my life , I could tell he was wanting to get out the door as soon as possible. It was near lunchtime probably was thinking more about his lunch than he was about for my situation !! I have since talked to another ENT and will be seen by him, and was told that yes, he should have definitely done those tests to determine why I would have pain , pressure, and sudden hearing loss as the longer you wait, when you have sudden hearing loss, the more likely you could not get your hearing back, so no thanks to him. I’m no better off , in fact really , because of his being unconcerned for my situation, I may have permanent hearing loss!

Consuelo Daniela Peñasco Montoya They literally NEVER pick up the phone! I have been calling and they never return phone calls. I just want to know about where unit my brother is! I know this is a mental facility but your patients are humans, and they have loved ones who care about them! Please just improve your reception service!

Phil Wise This place was not where Terminator 2 was filmed at. That was filmed at both CSU Channel Islands (exterior) and the Lake View Medical center (interior) in San Fernando Valley. which was a former state hospital. People get confused because the name of the hospital is Pescadero State Hospital in the movie (which sounds like Atascadero except if it was a town for fishes). The interiors and exteriors do not even look the same as Atascadero State Hospital. Its not even on the IMDB listing or on any production notes. It is a large structure and the life blood for employment in the North County. If Arnold filmed anything there it would of made huge news back in the early 90s. Having been alive back then with a family member working there, I would of heard about it. You also cant just film a movie in an active prison, let alone a state hospital that treats violent sexual offenders.

Allison Williams We’ve been going to Central Coast Pediatrics in Templeton for 3 years now. I am continually impressed with the level of care they provide. Whether the occasion is routine or especially concerning, the obvious dedication the entire office exudes makes me grateful. Our family truly appreciates you all. I’d like to mention a special thank you to Dr. McNerney for his attentiveness & support!

Samantha Matthews I have nothing but good to say about this office and staff. Everyone is nice to my family. We haven’t waited very long for an appointment as well as when they squeeze my kids on same day appointments. I recommend this office. We see Dr. Battle and she is amazing.

Tammy Jordan I love Dr. Negri! Ive been with the clinic for many years! Dr. Negri is thoughtful, knowledgeable, eager to help, humble enough to refer to specialist for medical and psychological care if needed, empathetic, and an all around great physician! The staff is Incredible! The aids, actually, answers their phones and return messages! They communicate with the doctors, office, and patients! I cant say enough about this office! Best care Ive had in my hometown since we had a family doctor, in the 60s!

Cameron Vaughn Editing 9/15/21 due to Dr. Office response. Within hours of my initial review, I was contacted by the office and they made it right. They apologized and it sounds like it was a mistake. They were able to get me in the next day with a new doctor, Dr. Fuller, who seems great. He spent about 45 minutes with me going over my history and concerns. He was very attentive, and the appointment was not rushed at all. Good Doctors are very hard to find in this area. I was excited to finally find one at the Medical Clinic at Peach. After searching for a year and waiting for nearly 3 months for my appointment, they called me 45 minutes before my appointment and cancelled with no reasoning. They said since I was a new patient, that it would be a long wait to get back in. It just does not make sense to treat your patients that way. I was shocked that they just did not care and werent willing to try to get me in any sooner since it was not my fault for cancelling.

J D All helpful including Care Connection ride home on first ER, and after 3rd ER, Sam a security guard gave me a cart ride to end of hospital property for just a short walk across the street back home. Tanner RN was especially friendly and helpful on my 05/24/2024 ER for rib pain, so I brought a bottle of Olde Shandon Port Works Syrah and Lou Ferrignos favorite film "I Love You, Man" in thanks. Sam security guard delivered it for me.

jackalynn bidwell Went to this ER a couple days ago, the staff was unprofessional except for one older nurse. I asked if I needed paper work to go home with the nurse said no then when I came in with my husband they stated I left without it. They scoffed like I was the problem. When they put the boot on my broken foot nurse was complaining about her own foot injury. Overall experience was not great.
