October 2025: I was scared to death as I knew that I was in desperate need of a rehabilitation…read morecenter for my opioid use disorder and alcoholism. This was my first time ever reaching out for help & going to a recovery center. Everything about Hemet Valley Recovery Center was welcoming, transparent & beyond my expectations. Here is my personal experience broken down into sections so the reader can skip to the section that most applies to their personal needs. Bottom line: HVRC saved my life & has helped me find my life purpose again. Initial phone call: I had to check availability & insurance requirements as I am on Medicare. They are the only recovery facility that accepts Medicare on the West Coast. I was told to bring my own pillow & blanket & was given a time that a driver from the facility would come to pick me up to take me to HVRC. Drive to facility & intake: Donnie, the driver, relieved my worries with water, gum, mints and a peaceful drive to the center. He was able to answer any of my general questions with a calm demeanor. Arriving at the center, I walked through the intake forms, insurance paperwork, general overview of detox, & expectations of the recovery program. Detox: Supportive Dr. Raja, skilled nursing staff, hospital meals that were tailored to my specific nutritional needs & wants, space in my room to sleep, heal & detoxify my body, I felt confident in my ability to get started on my recovery journey. The proximity to the local emergency room also put me at ease if I needed a higher level of care due to my complex medical issues. Counselors: All patients are assigned a counselor. They check in with you on your mood, individual situations, & progress of your rehabilitation process. They are kind, compassionate & loving humans. Classes: Daily schedules have a variety of holistic rehabilitation classes. Anything from lectures, experiential groups, healthy lifestyles, meditations, yoga, Native American talking circles, NA/AA meetings, recovery planning, Men & Women's groups, Just for Today talks, arts & crafts, HVRC has it. The best class is "Pain Group" with Sherry Burditt, RN, HN-BC (AHNA Board Certified Holistic Nurse) for 5 weeks, 9 hours a week, 45 hours total. It's a progressive learning experience class that allowed me to use self-discovery, emotional healing & spiritual growth to face past demons, learn about my own energy (Chakras), & love myself again. Hands down the best learning experience about myself I have ever done (& continue to do as part of my personal recovery plan). HVRC Community: For nearly 90 days, I was immersed in the HVRC family. From the people you share your days & nights with, along with your thoughts, feelings, assignments & food, to the nursing staff, counselors, administrative staff, drivers, the house senior residents/house managers to daily HVRC volunteers, people are supportive, kind & are there to do what is best for mankind: sustain an environment of caring, client-first vibes. PHP (partial-hospital patients): Having lived in both the female sober-living houses, Mayberry & Harbor, both provide a calm and healing environment to spend time while not at the center. I have fond memories of van rides full of people to & from the center, quick trips to the ATM or appointments, & AA meetings & Soboba's talking circle. Outings: Nails/pedicures, haircuts, AA meetings, doctor appointments/imaging, ATM runs, Soboba talking circle. Family Weekend: AMAZING experience. Run by Lisa, it is a weekend of family & loved ones learning about addiction. Not just the disease itself, but how to support their loved one in & out of treatment, expectations of their loved one coming home, & a session for me & my family to start the healing process moving forward. Continuing care & Alumni meetings: Thursday nights: an in-person continuing care program that supports HVRC alumni. Counselors offer support in multiple ways. After is the Alumni in-person/Zoom AA/NA meeting. My favorite night to attend a meeting & connect with so many others who are going through the same thing that I am: staying clean & sober in my recovery. HVRC Alumni events: President Jeff does a GREAT job of promoting where the donated money goes. From helping clients with prescriptions, housing & other necessities, to creating joy for clients and staff with auction baskets, sit-down dinners, arts & crafts, hiding Easter eggs & Sam the Leprechaun, supplying treats to buy at the Alumni store, cookouts, individual gifts, Veteran recognitions, & more!! HVRC Alumni is a space for us to stay connected by volunteering, supplying resources or giving money to a great cause year-round. I just can't say enough good things about my recovery & experience from Hemet Valley Recovery Center. Just celebrated 6 months. I thank both my Higher Power & HVRC for being clean & sober today. As Nike says: "Just Do It". You'll save your life or someone else's. Hugs & blessings from a proud recovering client, Teresa

1. I just moved to the area and I went to this new doctor. I have been to 2 appointments thus far…read moreand I have not once seen this doctor. I have only seen 2 other physician assistants. Not once did they explain why the doctor didn't come in nor ever even talk to me. I have not once even seen the doctor here. 2. I called over 10 times within a 2 month period trying to get a few thing accomplished. One, was getting their office to get records transferred from my old spine doctor to their office. Two, was to get my current lab results mailed to me from their office. Three, was to set up a new appointment for myself. They answered my first call about the records and said they would do that. After a few weeks, I heard nothing and received nothing, so I called to see what was going on. No answer and no call back. I called again. No answer and no call back. I called again and again, over 10 times, no call back ever. I have left several nice and polite messages for them and they don't ever call me back. Finally, about my 10th call was more assertive. Still, no call back. I have never in my life (in 30+ years) ever dealt with a doctors office that was so bad about getting things done and calling back their patients. I also have never been to a doctor where I never even saw the doctor. It is so weird here! They clearly aren't organized and clearly they do not value their patients. I am changing doctors today.

I would definitely recommend Dr Raja's office. I've had several bad experience at other primary…read morecare providers offices, but this practice has proven to be both pleasant and reliable. I've actually never met Dr. Raja himself, I've always seen Krista (Christa?) the nurse practitioner. I met her when I went to the after hours urgent care there and felt right off that she was an advocate and wasn't a closed minded person, she understood the concept in having a patient/doctor partnership, so she welcomed questions and discussions. She's the reason I changed my primary from an office that I loathed having to go to appointments at, and switched to Dr Raja's. I've read a few reviews from people saying the office staff was rude. That may have been true at some point, but it looks like they got rid of those people and the gals who are there now are really down to earth and nice, even when I wasn't cause I wasn't feeling well and had a bad day. No office is going to be perfect, but it's nice to find competent doctors who care and are proactive with my care, and office staff who are professional, kind and helpful. Sometimes getting an appointment is not as quick as I'd like, but that is the case everywhere now. At least I know that he hires enough staff to make processes go smoothly. When I first started going, they weren't really great at getting the referrals out quickly, but I talked to the office manager about it and that got corrected. What else can you ask of your Dr's office than to do a good job, care and be responsive to patient feedback.

I am impressed every time I visit here. The facility is clean and the staff is beyond comparison. They seem genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of the patients. It sometimes feels like a family atmosphere where everyone knows each other, including the patients. There are many students that work here as part of their nursing program so there never seems to be a shortage of help. I have visited patients at many skilled nursing facilities, and I find this one to be one of the best. The only downfall is it is an older facility and could use a facelift.

I've been a patient with Neighborhood Healthcare in both Temecula and Riverside for about 19 years,…read moreand I can honestly say they've consistently provided excellent care. Over the years I've seen several different doctors, and every one of them has been knowledgeable, respectful, and quick to provide what I needed -- whether it was a doctor's letter, a referral, or follow‑up care. I've had occasional delays with referrals being processed, but I've recently learned that most of those issues were on the IEHP side, not Neighborhood Healthcare. Compared to other clinics I've tried, the difference is huge. I even tried UCR Medical Clinic, and after three separate appointments I still couldn't get a single referral completed. I ended up returning to Neighborhood Healthcare because they've always taken care of me and actually get things done. After nearly two decades as a patient, I can say they've earned my trust.

From the very first session, Amanda has been nothing short of life changing. I have been working…read morewith her for a year and a half, and I can say with complete certainty that I would not be the person I am today without her guidance, compassion, and unwavering support. Amanda has walked with me through some of the most painful and vulnerable chapters of my life with extraordinary empathy, patience, and wisdom. She creates a space that feels safe, validating, and deeply human, where healing doesn't feel rushed or forced, but gently guided. Her insight is remarkable. The advice and tools she has shared with me have always been practical, thoughtful, and profoundly effective. She doesn't just listen, she truly understands, and then helps you grow in ways that feel empowering and sustainable. What sets Amanda apart is her rare balance of deep compassion and skilled guidance. She meets trauma with tenderness while still helping you build strength, clarity, and emotional resilience. Because of her, I have experienced real emotional growth, healthier boundaries, and a stronger sense of self worth. Amanda is a gift to anyone lucky enough to work with her. She is the kind of therapist people hope to find but rarely do. I am endlessly grateful for her, and I genuinely cannot imagine my healing journey without her. If excellence, integrity, and heartfelt care are qualities you value in a therapist, Amanda embodies all of them and more.
