Eileen McGowan I feel so very fortunate to have found Dr. Yarme. His bedside manner is so very pleasant and reassuring and he is ever thoughtful and pragmatic. He is truly a gift and my daughters and I appreciate how lucky we are to have him as our primary physician. I should also mention that his partner, Dr. Rodems is wonderful as well and the receptionist, Kat is always helpful and insightful. This is a polished team here, founded in excellence.

Tom McDonnell I was a patient at Dominican three times for two different issues in roughly a month — from the end of September through early November. I know that the doctors, nurses and technicians saved my life twice. From the caring, skillful treatment in the ER, to the OR, to post-op recovery, everyone performed their tasks skillfully with kindness. I especially want to highlight the nurse in recovery who had to deal with my several post-op issues and got me through a few concerning moments. Almost 4 months later, I’m doing great!

Kara Martinho This clinic has friendly and caring PAs who are willing to explain sensitive procedures beforehand which definitely settles the nerves and I sincerely appreciate. While lead times for getting an appointment can take some time, wait times in the actual office are incredibly short.

Mallory Pascal Dr. Powers has been great. I have many psychiatric concerns and also medical issues I get highly anxious about. She’s helped me in all regards. She’s also allowed me to make decisions about my health care and has guided me through it, without judgement. Thank you Dr. Powers

Rob Perica Love how new the office is. The staff is super friendly and I was seen immediately, even though I was a few minutes late! As part of my visit I got three vaccinations and four blood draws. It was over so quickly. I really enjoyed the expertise of the nurse and the effortlessness of the entire experience. Five stars

Rick Menzies Dr Owens has been my primary physician for 15 years. She has overseen my care through cancer surgery and four spinal surgeries, seamlessly coordinating my pre and post surgical testing and treatment. She is an attentive listener and is extremely thorough in her answers and treatment recommendations My experiences with her have been exceptionally pleasant and she had a very positive impact on my Quality of Life. She is The Best.

Elle Masters Front desk staff so rude, so hostile for no reason. The Dr they work for is so kind I dont understand why they are so mean. My insurance company knows of the rude staff and the hospitals knows of the mean people there. Everyone knows!

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.
