My whole experience with Dr. Bradley and Alta Orthopedics has been excellent. From the…read morereceptionists to the physician assistant, the nurses, radiologists and the doctor himself - the best I have experienced in a medical setting. Efficient, on time, caring, and progressive care. The best part - the surgery and my quick recovery. Dr Bradley's approach to hip replacement is superior to the experience several of my friends report from other types of hip replacement. My recovery progress has been incredible and just six months after surgery I completed a 20 mile walk. I am one happy patient!!!

He's on time, personable and actually ASKS about my health changes,diet, lifestyle etc during the eye exam. I personally appreciate his recommendations and teaching during my visits. He is more of a holistic practitioner in my opinion. I never feel rushed during my visits and my vision options are always given. He's the best, do yourself a favor and go see him.

I would give zero stars if I could. He charged me for 2 contact lense fittings when one of them was…read morebecause his assistant ordered the wrong size for the first one. Then when I went in for my final fitting he didn't give me my prescription. To those of you who don't know, optometrists are required by law to give you your prescription after the final fitting whether you request it or not. I am still waiting for my prescription which he was supposed to mail to me but did not. He is rude and offensive and acts like you're an idiot when you ask a simple question. He also needs hearing aides and constantly asks for you to repeat yourself in a really rude way as well. I won't go here again

This is regarding Patel Sandhya MD who shares same doctors office…read more My daughters and my niece got in an car accident, hit by a drunk driver. My niece got hurt pretty bad but is going to be ok. One of daughters had to go to emergency room by ambulance. She had busted nose , bruises and sprained ankle. My other daughter, was saved by airbag. She had minor cuts bruises and burns. Thank God nothing seemed life threatening. But I was encouraged by ER and my attorney to make sure my daughters see primary care physician which is Dr.Patel. to get a referral to a pain specialist, from there get into physical therapy if needed. But most importantly to get a MRI to make sure my daughters don't have unforeseen injuries internally, or down the road any pain related to accident. I upon my daughters release from hospital I tried to get them to see Dr. Patel ASAP, but she refused to take a "walk-in". Dr. Patel made my daughters wait an additional four days before being seen. Once she allowed one of my daughter to come in for appointment, I mentioned that I needed a referral to pain specialist and MRI. For some odd reason she got agitated and said "my insurance will not cover MRI"..."and I don't give refer juveniles to pain specialist that's only for adults." I then mentioned that I have good insurance and my insurance will cover any cost. She then said, "you're welcome to get a second opinion and rolled her computer cart out of room and abruptly walked away. Leaving my daughter and I staring at other each other wondering what just happened?? Dr. Patel needs a new profession or maybe a loooooong vacation to gather her thoughts about why she became a doctor. If it's NOT to do the best job possible to serve her patients, to hear them out and make sure they are the most healthy people under her care then she is bad for patients in Ventura County. I encourage anyone looking for doctor do not go to this doctor and if you are under her care now I'd start looking for a new doctor before Dr. Patel does something similar to you.

We love Dr. Speitel!!!…read more His office is always so friendly. I feel very comfortable going to him. I love that they remember you and really do care about your health.

I have to write because Dr. Mark really has a gift. The day I walked into his office and found my…read moreway to him I was hurting. I had fallen while hiking and my leg was swollen, my ribs hurts, my ego was bruised and my hand was shredded. His demeanor is energetic, a little goofy and fun but his ability to see beyond the structure of my skeleton is what's compelling. That was unexpected and I put myself in your trusted care. The next time I saw him was five days later. I was still hurting but not the same. The trick was that I felt so much better. I was not as angry. I was happier. I was seeing possibilities where I couldn't see much positive. He asked me the question, "what was I thinking about when I fell?" The simple answer which I gave quickly was stress about my business. The dark cloud that was over me was such a familiar aspect of me I didn't see it. I believe my skeleton was straighter but I don't remember that. As I write this feel such gratitude to Dr. Mark and the power of his healing impact. Since that day I am amazed at how different I feel. First of all, I don't feel the same stress. Not much has changed financially in my business in those two weeks. But now I am not paralyzed with fear and stress. I see myself moving forward without the same critical attachment to the outcome which I can't control. When I feel that same stress I use some of the techniques you suggested and immediately relax. I highly recommend Dr. Mark and want to thank him.
