My doctor has put in 2 referrals for me over the last year, yet the referrals have been ignored. I had previously seen one of the doctors a few years ago, and he asked if I had heartburn. I told him I've never had a problem with heartburn. His response? "Yes, you have." What??? No! I haven't. This office is a joke. It's as if the office is a cover for something else because they sure don't practice medicine.

I made it to Carmichael PMA after escaping a four-year sentence at Roseville PMA. I have no idea…read morehow two places under the same umbrella can be so different. At Roseville I was a drain on resources. At Carmichael I became a human being, worthy of healthcare. Every single person I interacted with at Carmichael PMA was kind, attentive, and actively took an interest in improving my health. Everyone. The receptionist, the nurse practitioner, the doctor, the doctor's assistant, even people who weren't directly involved in my care acted like they were glad I was there. I was astonished. I have very low lung function. When Roseville diagnosed me, they wrote me off. When I walked in the door for an appointment the receptionist would look at me and sigh. When I had health issues I had to get a consensus on Facebook to diagnose me, then try to get someone at Roseville to do something about it, with varying degrees of success. The excellent care at Carmichael PMA was not an aberration. I got sick and was immediately sent to Riverside PMA, where a Carmichael PMA doctor saw me. I was treated very well. I can say nothing but good about these people.

After a few months of trying to figure out the problem, he ordered a bronchoscopy and determined my son had a staph infection in his lung. He was persistent, thorough and has a great bedside manner - he's friendly, he listens, and is an all around good guy. The only reason I gave him 4 stars out of 5 was that waiting room time was always long, sometimes 30-40 minutes. However, this may be attributed to his thoroughness and dedication to the patient. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

I first saw Dr. Robinson in the hospital after being admitted with respiratory issues. After being…read moredischarged, I made a follow up appointment with him. He is thorough and easy to talk to. He explained everything and acknowledged the parts of my condition that he isn't very familiar with (it is a quite rare condition). He listened to my questions and concerns and didn't get irritated, as some physicians do, about the fact that I do a lot of my own research, too, to try and get as much information as possible. Dr. Robinson answered my questions, completed his notes right then and there, sent notes to another specialist regarding a procedure I also need, and gave me a note for my employer. I am very pleased with the level of care and concern I experienced with Dr. Robinson and my husband, who was with me during my appointment, felt the same.

The office staff was very pleasant as usual, the weight time was excellent, the nurse was extremely pleasant and proffesional. Dr Chipps came in very soon. He listened to all my concerns as well as fears of going back to the hospital. He gave me his thoughts of what he thought it could be, ran an extremely large amount of testing . He was also very will to see me again if I had a flare up that day so he could see it. He took the time to write a note to the lab to notify them to draw my blood during an episode. I'm seeing him again on Monday to put a plan in place. His office as well as other providers are available this week should I need to be seen. I went from being in a deep state of concern to a place of hope and hopefully soon a resolution and diagnosis for my many symptoms I'm having .

Staffed well, very thorough and professional. I love sleeping with a fan and they immediately made the accommodation. A little misleading by saying to prepare for a normal nighttime routine, because I was told I couldn't wear my AirPods or watch tv on my phone longer than 20-30min. It didn't feel like I could get comfortable how I normally do at home, but I understand. I was also asked to remove my nose ring and septum, which was not communicated on any of my phone calls. Just a thought to potentially include in preparation conversations since there is a list for prep and hygiene.

This unit had a bright light pointing towards my face that shone brightly at me if the device wasn't completely still and lying on a flat surface. So...I spent two nights trying to sleep with this light in my face so the unit would record an accurate sleep study. The item was to be returned on Monday, when they re-opened. I tried calling to ask what other options were available to get an accurate reading. The phone calls lead me to a voicemail that never returned my calls. I finally drove over to try to speak with someone. When I told the receptionist my issue, she held out her hand to receive the unit, she never responded to my issue, she only said that the office would contact me to let me know if I failed the sleep test. Do you think I had accurate readings? You guessed! Heck no! The report given to my doctor was erroneous and based on flawed data. I called to speak to a manager and all they wanted to talk about was the balance owed at first but promised to follow up. My follow up came a month later as a past due bill!! My advice is to go to a sleep study facility connected to a hospital.
