I was recently advised that I would have to leave my healthcare practice by March 2027 due to…read morecurrent staffing shortage and how hard it has been over the years to find and hire someone. I saw on Nextdoor a referral to a new healthcare practice called Juniper. It is only for seniors over 65 with medical coverage from Medicare and Medicare Supplimental plans. . They apparently don't take private pay, Medicare Advantage (so few people take that any way) or Medicaid. This set up was perfect with me and they are taking new patients. When you call to enroll it is followed up by a telephone consult that goes into great detail about the practice and it really worked for me. I like the fact that they did this pre-scanning so they didn't have to waste people's time. After that call, I received a prompt appointment and was able to fill out the enrollment form online. As usual with online applications, and often the ones on paper. There just isn't enough room to put down the information you need such as all your doctors, prescriptions and prior medical treatments. So after I I filled out my online application, I took information directly to their office that had all of that stuff so that I didn't have to waste time filling in all the details. I was hoping that they would be able to enter all of that information into their system before my first appointment. It had all been entered! So I just went to my first appointment yesterday with Kelly Morales, a PA (Physician Assistant) who was just wonderful. In addition, I did bring a paper copy of the additional information and again she was able to ask lots of questions directly from that detail. Being obsessive, I also took copies of my latest blood test, bone density test, my last colonoscopy and mammogram results. Again, she was just able to read down all of this information and ask questions. I felt it very important that I had that since I was changing a medical practice which had for 10 years worth of information. She has all of that detail that was relevant to now and the past history. She noted that most people who come in, their answers to doctors, medical procedures, and the prescriptions often end up with answers of " I don't know" which to me is very frightening. It sort of wastes that initial visit time. So we had a very effective first appointment. She was very thorough and I never for one moment did I feel that I was being rushed, which is actually my usual experience with physicians assistance, which is why I like them so much. I know some people are really wary of having a PA as your primary care person, but there is a doctor who is available for the more complicated thing. Please look up what the education requirements are for a PA. You will probably be stunned to find out how extensive their education and hands on experience needs to be before they get licensed. I think that should dissuade anyone from being worried about being treated by them.

4 stars for the office staff, 5 GOLD stars for everyone not at the front desk…read more I hadn't been to the eye Dr. for nearly 4 years before being seen at the Larkspur location. Initially, I called the Churn Creek location where a woman at the front desk told me they no longer accept my insurance. I later found that information to be erroneous. When I started my journey at the Larkspur office, I got to see Dr Eklund who is incredibly nice. She is very welcoming & didn't make me feel bad for not being seen "on schedule" as other optometrists mentioned. I've seen a few & never connected for various reasons. I work on the road for the majority of the year & many were unable to work with my busy schedule. Inconvenient but understandable. I was really fortunate to have connected via referral with this location. At first we tried to lessen my prescription. That didn't work & resulted in my having to get new lenses. The new lenses came & after a short trial period, I knew my eyes weren't adjusting but my work schedule didn't allow me time to come in & make necessary adjustments. A few months went by & I walked in (as WAS the policy) to see what we could do. Good luck getting passed the gate keepers (aka front desk employees). My lucky day happened to be that day which was the 1st day the implemented a new rule that only appointments are accepted. No walk ins. It would be another month before I got scheduled in for an appointment which I had to take a day off work to have. There I met Jen & everything changed. Jen is REALLY nice. She is incredibly patient with my schedule & honest. She mentioned my inability to adjust to the new glasses may not be due to an incorrect presciption but may simply be the material used. I'd opted for upgraded lenses which were touted by the manufacturer for being more lightweight & thinner. I have a strong astigmatism in both eyes. The left is significantly worse resulting in a pretty thick lens. I took Jen's suggestion & we had new lenses made from a composite material. They actually came pretty quickly & the outcome was instantly day & night. I did have to pay out of pocket as my "trial period" had long passed due to my inability to come in in a timely manner but Jen took the time to explain that sometimes people's eye just don't adjust to the new material. Having worn glasses since I was 4, I know my eyes pretty well & agreed maybe a different material really was the problem. As soon as I tried on the new glasses, I knew all was right in the world. No more feeling sea sick. HOORAY! The glasses were adjusted & I was on my way in less than 10 minutes from scheduled appointment time to leaving. IF you are on the fence about an optomitrist, please give this office a try. Everyone really makes the effort to get you in a pair of glasses tht work for you. I was a little dissapointed to have had to pay a bit more than intended out of pocket, but I also knew that may happen as 1) I'd never seen this doctor & 2) as we later realized, the best-for-me material needed to be identified. I believe my next appointment will be flawless & 100% thanks to Jen, I'll be back for routine follow ups. Thank you SO much for taking time to truly help me. I hope the office appreciates ALL that you do as much as I do. You are a gem!

Warning: Predatory Billing, Dishonesty…read more They have an initial "fixed" visit price of $89 and a completely random, undetermined, make-up-as-they-please price for contacts examination. Upon my arrival for my appointment, I specifically told the receptionist at the front desk that I need truthful, honest up front pricing as I was on a fixed income and was unable to work at the moment due to personal reasons. I read their policy on cost and went over all the details with the front desk receptionist. I confirmed the initial visit price and asked that she find out exactly what my additional price would be for contacts examination. The receptionist took this information back to speak with the optometrist so that I could decide if I could continue with my exam upon receiving truthful and honest pricing. The receptionist came back and told me it wouldn't be more than an additional $100. I confirmed more times than necessary if that was all that I would expect and that I should not expect a surprise bill. I told her to please confirm with the doctors, and she did, or so she claimed. I completed my examinations and paid roughly $200 out of pocket. To my unfortunate surprise, about a month later I received a new bill from this predatory office asking for an additional amount, upwards of $70. Apparently they decided the additional $120 for a contacts examination wasn't enough that they needed to bill me more. So much for truthful, honest, upfront pricing from this office! I will absolutely share this terrible. predatory, dishonest experience with my spouse, colleagues, neighbors and church. Stay away unless you want deceptive practices!

They are located in a beautiful building on the banks of the Sacramento River adjacent to Cypress Ave in Redding. The facility is large, clean, modern, and well laid out. On the bottom floor are the physicians, Ophthalmologists, Dr Michael Sumsion and Doctor Sean Sumsion. Not only are both of these guys great physicians, their bedside manner and interaction with patients and family is fantastic. Very down to earth, patient, and happy to explain things. I have seen both of these docs, and I would put them as some of the best. For reference I see physicians at both UCSF and Stanford and this practice is at that caliber of professionalism and competence. Upstairs is the Optometrist, Dr. Jordan Evans. He is truly one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is so kind and patient. I was trying to switch from just eyeglasses to Contact Lenses and my experience with him and his awesome staff was phenomenal. They were not in a hurry to move me through, they took the time to educate me, ensure that everything fit right, on multiple appointments. The bedside manner, caring, and interaction are all outstanding in my humble opinion. I am definitely a fan!
