WOW. I cannot believe how UNPROFESSIONAL this facility is. We went in for our newborn daughters…read more1-month appointment where she needed her second dose of a Hep B vaccine. Well, turns out they had "just ran out". We thought okay, this is weird but I guess it can happen. The doctor informed us, our daughter can have the Hep B vaccine on her 2-month visit, along with the other vaccines. We agreed, believing the unfortunate situation to be a fluke and scheduled our daughter for her 2-month appointment. Well we go in for her 2-month appointment, wait approximately one hour, an the nurse informed us the facility had "just ran out" of the vaccine our daughter needs. We were in complete disbelief! We had cleared out our schedules, asked for the day off from work to take our daughter to get her 2-month shots but again we were not able to since they had ran out of the vaccine. Keep in mind this appointment was made a month in advance. I just don't understand how they were not prepared for our appointments, after all that is what an appointment is for. We have received appointment reminders one day before, why not advise us over the phone the vaccines for our daughter will not be available. Instead we both take time off from work, drive 30 minutes and wait one hour to be notified in person by a nurse they have ran out of the vaccines our daughter needs. We addressed the issue and expressed our concerns on these type of situations reoccurring to the Office Manager, Andrea. Andrea informed us these types of situations are common at this facility. I will no longer have my daughter be a patient here & do not recommend Olivewood Pediatrics to others.

Dr. Asadi is a GREAT physician! She's hands down the best we've found since we moved to this area…read more She's professional, extremely knowledgeable and experienced and has a fantastic way with kids! Her personality is quite mellow but don't be fooled by this. She's calm and relaxed but is often able to discern with laser pinpoint precision what exactly is wrong and how to help our children within minutes! Another great thing is that she isn't one of those rotten doctor's offices that quadruple books a 15 minute time slot to make money but make you and your kids suffer for three hours in a room full of sick kids. Every pediatrician has done this in the area. Again, she is a professional and provides a professional environment. She even has a special section for infants so they can be shielded from the sick bigger kids. Dr. Asadi is the best!

I took my daughter to Valley Children's clinic in Merced. She was diagnosed with having a…read morepilomatricoma (similar to a small cyst) on her neck. The doctor said that it could easily be removed with surgery. Before the surgery was scheduled, the clinic sent me an estimate of what the operation would cost. The estimate was just over $13,000. A friend of mine suggested contacting a dermatologist to avoid putting her through surgery. The dermatologist said that removing it would be a simple in-office procedure. We decided that was the better of the two options. As planned, the doctor numbed the area, removed the small protrusion, put a few stitches in, and sent her on her way. The cost was around $400. My question is: WHY WOULDN'T VALLEY CHILDREN'S EXPLAIN THAT AN OPERATION WASN'T NECESSARY IN THIS CASE? Why was surgery with an anesthesiologist recommended rather than opting for a much simpler (and less expensive) in-office procedure? I have one additional complaint to offer here. The one-time office visit to Valley Children's clinic (explained above) lasted about 15 minutes. I received a doctor's bill for that visit and paid it right away. Later I received a separate bill from the clinic and questioned what the requested $189 was for. It seems that the clinic is entitled to charge a patient for walking in the door. That charge is separate from the doctor's charge. To me, this doesn't seem fair. While I do believe Valley Children's Hospital and clinics help many kids with major medical problems, they are definitely an over-priced alternative to other avenues of medical care. In this case, I believe the non-profit organization was being intentionally deceitful.

My previous review was deleted, go figure…read more Ruined my two birth experiences, he tried scaring me into many things being completely inappropriate. Membrane sweep after I had told him I didn't want to induce labor only asked for a cervical check, I believe babies come out when they're ready, he knew that but started the sweep anyway. He talked about doxxing "casually" after I said no vaccines. He made me tear during childbirth sticking his hands inside for no reason, the baby was coming out just fine. He winked at me during a check down there... I said no to stitches because I felt I was fine and he said "woman in other countries don't get stitched up either and they end up really lose down there" the more procedures he makes the more money he makes. He tried forcing me to induce right at 39 weeks. He was often talking himself up, saying how the nurses were wrong about something, calling them out infront if everyone. I'm sure he's a narcissist. He's also just very old. Also said I didn't have to take the blood test for pregnancy because "only chubby chicks have gestational diabetes " another doctor in office said that was wrong and to take the test, gave me the blood work order... i asked for the female doctor again but he wouldn't let me see her... I haven't gotten over all the trauma, I am pregnant again with no prenatal care I will birth this baby in my tub before I risk getting him as delivery doctor again. Thinking about suing, he can't keep doing this to others

Then I waited in the lobby for 35 mins before being called back to see Dr. Kano. I then waited in the back room for another hour. No contact from any of the staff to tell me what was going on, it was very frustrating. I ultimately left the appointment and said I did not want to be charged for this appointment or want my insurance company charged. We'll see what happens with that. I have had this problem at this clinic before. I tried switching from the Merced location to the Atwater location with no better treatment. I do not recommend Dr. Kano as he never listens to my heart with a stethoscope. I was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat last September 2024 from a different Dr. I was concerned, & immediately reached out to my primary care Dr Kano. His staff he could not see me until December of 2024 . Clearly no regard for my health. I asked for a referral to a heart specialist & was told they don't do referrals? Dr. Kano never listens to my lungs, even when I came in with bronchitis? So many concerns. I'm very let down by Dr. Kano. He has had me on a high blood pressure prescription for about 15 years. I have had fainting spells, and my blood pressure from my doctor visits have always been low. When I became alarmed to my lack of care in Merced County, I went to a different doctor in Southern California, they immediately took me off this medication. My blood pressure is now within regular parameters. I have had no more fainting spells. Run screaming from this doctor he is completely unqualified & uncaring.
