Cowell Student Health Center - Santa Cruz (CA)

local user. I’ve delayed receiving medical treatment for months after being rejected by doctors on duty’s in Santa Cruz, I went in this morning from what I thought to be was a rash on my wrist. I had no insurance card and the 2 ladies at the front desk were very helpful and still managed to get me in with just the member # and my basic information. Not with just me but with everyone they handled and welcomed. Lainey (?) the nurse with the light purple scrubs and hair tie was so sweet and approachable. her attitude is what everyone needs in a work place. I didn’t catch the lady doctors name but she was nice and super patient listening to my concerns. it REALLY means a lot to come to the doctors on your day off and to be taken seriously and even was prescribed a cream for possibly ringworm. I saw on sign they were at capacity and came just after 10, I really appreciate everyone’s time. Everyone working Friday morning (10-11am) thank you so much your attitude and the workspace you’ve guys made doesn’t go unnoticed.

Stephanie Brunetti Dr Cohen is very caring. She really listens to her patients and tries to help in ways that she can that also fall in line with what her patients goals are. She has been very helpful in trying to help with an issue I’ve been having. For me, there a certain meds I’d rather not take and Dr Cohen has spent the time researching other methods as well as other integrative medicine options she can refer me to to get help. I really appreciate having her as a primary care doctor.

Audrey Young-Tarter Listens, thorough, cares about the patient. I really feel like he wants the best for the patient

Noemi Rocha Dr. Oderman is the best doctor ever! I was lucky enough she took me as a new patient with my first pregnancy and she was so genuine and always took the time to answer any question and concerns I had. Her and her staff are sweet and were always fast to respond to all my only messages. I was also very fortunate and happy she was the one to deliver my baby. Her and her staff always made me feel as if I was family and made my high risk pregnancy less stressful especially in Covid times.

gracie grader Great staff! Dr. Khuc takes her time with her patients and make sure they understand, shows support and sympathy and listens to your concerns and needs.

Alysia Watkins Had my first visit with DR Sablan. She was super attentive and made me feel super comfortable. I was having major pain in my body and she had a solution right away.

Mark Boolootian I saw Dr Cheng for evaluation of a cataract and general discussion of eye health. He spent ample time with me discussing my eyes and the typical course of such problems and correcting them. He asked me lots of questions (as essentially a first time patient) and happily answered everything I asked. He was engaging and a real pleasure to spend time with and I’m extremely happy to be under his care. The office staff that did the initial exams were all excellent. It’s a busy office, and we’re most fortunate to have this collection of outstanding MDs providing care to our community.
