Ventura County Occupational - Oxnard (CA)

TJ O Sherman is one of the best family doctors I’ve ever had. He is incredibly compassionate and listens. He has a capacity to bring lots of information together and help you find the best course of treatment. It’s not a big office or a fancy place, but that’s where you can’t judge a book by its cover. He has a great office staff and their genuine care and concern for your well-being is felt. I first met him through my mom when we moved here for what we thought was a short time to take care of her. After we decided to move here long-term and get insurance for this state, he wasn’t under my plan. I decided to stay with him and pay separate because I trust him more than any other doctor, and I have seen a lot of doctors. He absolutely goes above and beyond for his patients. He has truly made my life better.

SJ Wow, where do I even begin with Dr. Gail Joseph? She is an absolute gem in the medical field! From the moment I stepped into her office, I felt like I was in the presence of someone who genuinely cared about my well-being. Her attentiveness and understanding for my health concerns were beyond anything I could have hoped for. Dr. Joseph took the time to listen to me, really listen. She didnt rush through the appointment or brush off my concerns like some doctors tend to do. Instead, she sat down with me, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel like my health was her top priority. It was such a refreshing experience to be treated with such compassion and respect. This is the experience I wish all patients could have.

Pita Ramirez On the last visit that I took one of my daughters was for stomach pain. We had schedule an appointment for her and was seen an hour later after the appointment. when she came in the room she looked high as a kite mumbling her words and stumbling. She has canceled many appointments for both of my daughters a day before or same day of appointment. Decently didnt feel she was a safe provider for my daughter or responsible for her patients.

Katie Adams Gave an extra star for getting me in fairly quickly. Another terrible experience here. Made me question where these doctors get their medical licenses from. I went in after midnight two nights ago with a double ear infection. I was in excruciating pain. Tylenol and Advil weren’t helping at all. I hate prescription pain meds but this level of pain was unbearable. Those who know me know that if I’m wanting help with pain, it must be really bad because I am normally very anti prescription meds… the doctor didn’t even check my ears. He held the thing up to my ears but didn’t even really look. Said I have a double ear infection and just need some drops and mild pain relief shot (this shot didn’t do anything for my pain). Sent me home and I was up all night literally screaming in pain. They didn’t even give me anything for the pain aside from the shot so I was on my own. My entire face was swollen and they didn’t even give me something to help the inflammation. Just the antibiotic ear drops. My dad had to drive me to the ER again in the morning. Finally I got a doctor who actually checked my ears and saw how severe the infection was AND that my ears were swollen shut so the drops wouldn’t be able to reach the infection anyway so he put wicks in both ears to wedge them open so the antibiotic drops could get in. He gave me two prescriptions, one was for THREE Tylenol with codeine. Something I hate taking but was so relieved to have because I needed some relief. They should have given me two days worth because I woke Up this morning in pain still but slightly less so it would have been nice to have some relief today too. Two days worth would have been enough to get me through this until the drops kick in. The other prescription is for Naproxen. He then told me when I’m out of the Tylenol with codeine to just take regular Advil. Unbelievable, I started taking Advil when my mom discovered that you aren’t supposed to take Advil while on naproxen, that it’s actually highly dangerous to do so. So why did the doctor tell me to take Advil?! UNBELIEVABLE. Where do these doctors go to med school?! I’ve heard bad things about cmh ER but it’s what my insurance is linked to so it’s where I needed to go. This is why I’m afraid to go to the doctor. Shitty doctors giving shitty advice, incorrectly diagnosing, not doing a thorough job, and leaving someone in excruciating pain because they suddenly decided that they’re too lazy to monitor pain pill usage so they’d rather not prescribe them at all. Nobody gets addicted to pain meds after taking them for two days, especially someone who has verbalized multiple times that they don’t like taking prescription pain meds because they upset my stomach and make me feel weird. That should tell you how desperate I was for relief. I’ve never experienced this much pain in my life and to be treated like an addict was beyond insulting. These new doctors need to do better by their patients, start exhibiting compassion and empathy, and put in a little effort to find a treatment plan that works for their patient so that patients leave feeling heard and respected and cared for instead of like an inconvenience.

Nico Mercado I believe that the doctor was excellent the way he explained the procedures and the way he read all the reports. I thought he was fantastic very understanding, very compassionate and had the patience in him. All is well, so I really appreciate him explaining everything in the procedure as it’s gonna go along way. So yes, I recommend this doctor and coastal or anyone to be seen by them. I had a pleasant pleasant experience all the best Nelson Mercado.

alejandra gonzalez If I could give 0 stars I would waited 2 months for my appointment for them to cancel it the same morning offered me an appointment until april! another 2 months very unprofessional cant get a hold of them on the phone have you on hold for 45+ minutes

Amy Attentive staff. Handled my needs well, I expected a 4-6hr stay & it was about that. Its an ER so thats typical. Got help when urgent care had closed. They called in meds to be picked up the next day as the pharmacy was closed by the time I was discharged. No complaints outside of the extremely small parking lot. I was lucky enough to get a spot but its about a 16 car max I believe.
