I'm finally back in with being able to utilize Sutter Imaging/Sutter Health in the Stanislaus…read moreCounty region where I now reside...
I have Covered California for my health insurance needs & pay for it 100% myself and always have... The company fulfilling my medical need(s) (not really they sorta bigtime suck on their bait-&-switch routines) is none other than Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield "EPO". This year they say I'm in luck as they are 'waiving the deductible" it sits at zero every year so that doesn't appear to be of assistance to me now does it?...
When I lived in Sacramento, California several years back, Sutter Health was my only health insurance and I didn't have Covered California then... Hope that's not too confusing to read... I
I've missed Sutter, so much that I'm feeling much less stress & angst in the area of my health care & staying safe and sound & healthy, now that a few providers are contracted with Sutter... Prayer answered...
Although I no longer live in this area, of what's called Northern California, my original review of this Campus Commons, Sacramento, California location was that they PAMPERED & Cared so well for me that I was never frightened &/or scared to keep an appointment there... I don't have that same emotional bond yet with Sutter Health here in Turlock, California but I was just there this past month and they are working on being more kind, verbal, and engaging with the clients/patients arriving there to receive services...
Good for them! Great for the patrons like myself...
I recently needed my medical records from Sutter Sacramento and the process for receiving them was so streamlined. No shame zero hassle, for asking for older records and for having them mailed to me in Turlock where I now reside...
I've even survived Cat Scratch Disease passed to me by my beloved kitty Gray Grey Thomas whom I and my best friend Shirley N. (Shirley is in her high 80's and she and I with her help late at night saved all 3 of the teeny tiny kittens someone threw over the ledge/wall where my friend then lived. She phoned me panicking due to a severe allergy to cat dander begging me to assist her by coming and taking the kittens to my home to live. Done and they are all healthy to this day. Gray Grey is nearly 20 pounds now and a 'giant kitten' inside. But their tiny teeth were like razorblades & their teeny tiny claws; sharp like a blade & pin-cusion thrashed both of my hands and wrists and forearms (as I bottle fed them several times daily.) Months went by and I couldn't get off the couch from the nonstop malaise, nausea, migraine headache and chills.... I lived past it & was treated properly by Dr. Douglas Roberts, Immunologist. wizard also in Sacramento.
Speaking of that I need to contact the best kitten lady like Shirley & Doris E. from Kitty 911~East Bay (The San Franciso Bay Area) and inform Doris E. that I'd LOVE and NEED more than anything else to have Gray Grey back in my custody for good once I move out of my Mothers beautifully safe home (for the most part). I asked Doris to please help me with Gray as his new living arrangements were too cramped for him and he was showing aggression, frustration & sadness for over one year. She made it happen; again! There's this lil kitty named Lenny she rescued that my neighbor begged me to help; in walked Doris E. I never intended to continue to have Gray anywhere but with me and his siblings but circumstances change as everyone knows so I did what I did and am living with the reality; he is desperately missed by me & his siblings who he was raised with. His siblings miss him terribly and want him back. They initially were relieved in his absence but that changed quickly to looking for him and secluding themselves like they did when he would 'hunt' them. Not good. Wrapping up this side-story, my lymph nodes swelled so severely that my right breast was twice the size of the left, and my lymph nodes in my neck and arms were huge and tender. Antibiotics, pain reliever, tons of sleep, seriously sleep,is the magic ingredient in this concoction that will get you back on the path of the living.... No joke.
Yet I digress, MEDICAL RECORDS & requesting them from Sutter locations has ALWAYS gone sooooooo smoothly & the next thing I know; they are in my mailbox at home. That's the main point of this "UPDATED REVIEW": We will all need our medical records at some point in life. Take it from one who knows first-hand & when that day or day(s) arrives, I can rest-easy with the past-experience-knowledge that Sutter Health delivers; early & on-time.
P.S... Sutter has a KICK A?? online Patient Portal. You can view 24/7 365 a year, your medical procedures, surgeries, results, radiological tests performed, and bloodwork; you name it it goes way back in time to eliminate the need to ask another for what's yours; you bought it & they deliver based on your needs.... I'm always satisfied with Sutter Health.
