My elderly, housebound husband was a client of Mad River Home Health Services for several months…read more He has Parkinson's and had broken his hip 3 months before. He'd arrived home from a rehab in the Bay Area days before with a severe, infected and potentially limb-threatening pressure sore. The first nurse they sent to our home was disturbed. She raved and screamed at us before storming out of the house without treating my husband. It was a shocking and horrifying experience. As if that weren't bad enough, she then told her supervisor that we were hoarders and you can't even turn around in our house, and that is why she'd left. It wasn't true. Mad River Home Health Services even repeated this to the social worker at the rehab my husband had been at. It was humiliating and deeply inappropriate. After I complained to the hospital, Mad River Home Health then decided to send a new nurse out and to try again. This nurse was lovely, as were most of the other nurses, an OT and one particular PT who came to our home. They were all kind and professional. My one star is not for them. It is for the administration of Mad River Home Health. After the initial horrifying start with the unhinged nurse, things went fairly well for several weeks. Until one day when one of the nurses made an odd comment about the budget. My husband, she said, was one of their neediest cases. He was using up too much of their budget. Things would be changing. And then the nightmare began again. One of the nurses was sent to our house with a list of demands that we were to follow. I was to sign it. If I didn't sign it, the patient care manager threatened me that she would withdraw my husband's care. The list was bizarre. It included things that were not in my husband's best interest. I refused to sign it. My husband had been scheduled to have a bath aide come. It was going to be his one and only bath help visit, even though it was a service he'd actually needed and that he'd been entitled to. He had been looking forward to it. The patient care manager called me up and told me that since I hadn't signed the list of demands, then my husband would not be allowed a bed bath -- she cancelled his bed bath! She also told me that she had talked to my doctor and he had agreed to this. She again threatened to revoke my husband's care. Mind you, my husband had a severe pressure sore and disabling mobility problems. Without home health, his foot may have wound up being amputated or worse. So these threats to revoke his care were frightening, on a deep and visceral level. Then I got a call from our doctor a couple of days later. "What the heck is going on?," he asked. He'd been sent a weird list of demands that home health wanted him to sign. He'd never seen anything like it. The patient care manager had lied. She'd never spoken to our doctor. Once she realized she couldn't enlist him in helping to bully us, the threats quietly went away and the visits continued, but less frequently. She let my husband have his one bath visit. One bed bath. In over 5 months. We lived in fear of home health, afraid if we inadvertently did something that displeased one of the nurses that the patient care manager's threats and bullying would start again. The other issue was the physical therapist. The person who'd actually come to our house most of the time and did most of the hands-on work was wonderful. He was very helpful to my husband. The problem was his supervisor. After my husband's initial two months with PT, he was still improving. He very obviously still needed the PT. He had progressed to the point he was able to use a walker again, barely. He was just beginning to learn how to safely go down the stairs in the entryway of our house. He was just getting to the point of learning how to get in and out of the car again. My husband told me he had a really good feeling about his recovery -- he was getting better, and he thought he was going to pull through this. My husband was still clearly benefitting from the PT. A health professional I know told me that it would be detrimental if his PT stopped then. His PT could have continued if the PT supervisor would have authorized it. She refused, despite the obvious necessity. After it ended, my husband rapidly lost the ability to use a walker. The last day he left the house with me was the day the PT supervisor cancelled his care. He lost his still-growing ability to get to or enter the car after that. At that point he also basically lost the will to live. He rapidly reversed course. After home health ended (the nursing visits continued beyond the PT), he was enrolled in hospice. They sent a disturbed and inappropriate nurse to our house. Then the patient care manager bullied us and made the whole situation far more stressful than it should have been. Then the PT supervisor hastened my husband's terminal decline through her unwillingness to sign off on a piece of paper.

Dr. Ajmani was the best OBGYN I have ever gone to. Sadly, she left our area several years ago…read more Since she left, finding anyone good is challenging these days. Dr. Ajmani did all the that needed to be done up inside me under anesthesia so there was no pain during, and no pain after these procedure tests. Her bedside manor was always professional, and forthright. If only she was still here, I would not be in this predicament now that I need help again. My search continues and I am hoping I don't have to travel from Eureka to some faraway place to get the proper care I need and deserve.

I had a horrible experience. Dr. Ajmani's bedside manor was…read morenot friendly, nor was she even polite. She was very curt when she came in and seemed uncomfortable from the moment she walked in. After beginning the exam and pushing on my pregnant stomach repeatedly to the point of discomfort, she told me that she couldn't check my baby because I had "too much fat" and she couldn't "feel anything" (she also used the word "obese"). Also, despite the fact that I told her before the exam that I had psoriasis - a non-contagious genetic skin condition, she recoiled when she saw the spots in my pubic area and asked if I had a yeast infection. When I told her, no, it's psoriasis, she continued to insist that it was a yeast infection and even sent me away with a prescription for an anti-fungal cream. I was already nervous going to see a new obstetric doctor as I have always been a big girl - about 220 lbs. at the time of my pregnancy, but I have never been told by any other provider EVER during a routine PAP or pubic exam that they couldn't do their job because I had too much fat in the way! I am heavy, yes, and even technically obese, yes, but I am a very physically active, fairly fit, very clean and tidy person. I try my best to learn all I can about nutrition and took great measures to improve my diet during my pregnancy. It was my first child and I was both exhilarated and terrified at the prospect of having a baby and the last thing I needed was a doctor stomping all over my already fragile confidence and making me feel even more paranoid (about nothing) than I already was... I changed doctors immediately and started going to Eureka OB/GYN office practically next door and the very first midwife I saw was appalled by my experience. She told me that no matter how heavy I was, if the doctor knew what they were doing, she could easily perform the exam. The midwife was over and done with the entire exam (at 22 weeks pregnant) within 10 minutes and she was very kind and made me feel comfortable despite my being overweight. I also saw Dr. Deepak Stokes (who delivered my baby) who was shocked about the psoriasis confusion as he had psoriasis himself and couldn't understand how one could be mistaken for the other. Overall, the staff at my new doctor office was very friendly and professional and allowed me to feel good about becoming a mother and supported my desire to take care of myself and improve my health as much as possible during my pregnancy. The other doctors who I had seen previously who worked in the same office as Dr. Ajmani were not bad, but after my experience, I couldn't walk back into that office without suffering from major anxiety. Please, do not see this doctor if you have any sort of skin condition or are overweight as she seems to be unable to retain professionalism when exposed to either condition.

A few months ago, I had pain going down my left leg. An X-ray was taken of my back with no…read moreapparent issues obvious. Ten physical therapy appointments were approved. Darlene was my therapist and she was amazing. I learned proper stretching techniques and much more. On the 4th appointment watching and coaching me, Darlene asked me to lie down on my stomach. Quickly, she determined I had sciatica, L4/L5. Exercises were focused on the area and improvement was made. Since the pain would not disappear, an MRI was ordered and it was determined I had herniated discs, L4/L5. I was amazed Darlene was able to determine exactly what was wrong months before I had an MRI. If you need physical therapy, I strongly recommend Darlene at EPT McKinleyville. You will be impressed.
