I am again requesting a switch but again told that is not possible. So my $2100 fee, was just paid and I don't have a doctor. It is difficult enough to find good medical care in SLO County but one would think that Arroyo Medical Group would care about its patients and find a solution.

Poor experience overall. I am 25 years old and have lots of bodily pain and despite communicating…read moremy issues I did not feel heard I did not feel cared for. I did not feel listened to. Dr. Chen spent 15 min with me and didn't even address any of my concerns. I mentioned I was having gut and stomach pain on a regular daily basis. She asked if I had been diagnosed with IBS. I said no. Rather than giving me steps to take to figure out what the problem is or how I could be diagnosed she just told me to avoid dairy. She did not ask and therefore did not learn that no matter what I eat afterward my stomach is always upset even if I avoid dairy. I mentioned I would like to see a gastroenterologist. I was told since I was not 45 years old a colonoscopy wasn't necessary which I assume just means it's not gonna be covered by insurance so she's not going to recommend it. I told her my pain had been going on for six years and yet no tests recommended to figure out the issue. Also, I mentioned I wanted to get off of a medication and wanted the liquid form because my research had said it's best to taper off very slowly. She just said "it doesn't work like that" and shrugged off that concern as well rather than giving me what I wanted and asked for... the whole reason I made the appointment was only to get my medication switched to liquid, which wasn't even achieved. So now I'm waiting for my expensive bill for receiving nothing. Not happy at all. I left my appointment very angry frankly. I don't want to come across as rude, but doctors need to do better. It just angers me that I am trying my best to take care of my own health and not receiving any help and despite knowing what I'm feeling every day somehow a Doctor Who has spent 30 minutes with me in total over the past year, think she knows what's best for me, which is to do nothing. Why are doctors telling us what we can and can't do for our own health if we have the money to pay for it. Blows my mind. Again, I hate to be so negative, but I feel I need to speak up for so many people who feel their concerns are ignored and unimportant. I wrote this not only to get out my own feelings, but to hopefully help others avoid the same experience I had.

Dr. Karin is one of my top two doctors, and her assistants are the best of the best. Her diagnosis is spot on. She is almost always available when I have issues. She returns my phone message or email within an hour or two. If I am on some prescription, I would get a follow up call a few days later to see how I respond to the drug. Her assistants are equally caring and attentive. The whole office is wonderful. [And she is model-caliber beautiful to boot. Not that it's important. Looks have nothing to do with her being a medical doctor, for goodness' sake. ;o))]

First let me state, our visit with Dr. Cury was at the Community Health Center in Arroyo Grande…read more(1057 Grand Ave). Our 16yo daughter had fallen and had a rather impressive gash on her head. It was obvious that she would require a couple stitches. We are uninsured and were encouraged to take her to CHC because of their "sliding scale" fee schedule. We were in the exam room, for less than five minutes, when Dr. Cury entered. He smiled and asked what happened. We explained how she injured herself. He nodded and then leaned over to look at her wound. Without skipping a beat, and with all the "doctor authority" he could muster, he nodded and said, "yes, it looks like we'll have to remove the head". We all broke into laughter. Our daughter was immediately put at ease. The levity of the situation was alleviated with his bedside manner/humor. He was very careful to ask our daughter how she was doing during the whole procedure. When he gave her the shot to numb her, she didn't even feel it. In total, she received three stitches and a prescription for antibiotics. All the time she was being treated, Dr. Cury was professional and friendly....sprinkling just enough humor to keep everyone lighthearted. We are relatively new to the Central Coast. This was our first doctor visit since moving here a year ago. If I ever need a doctor again, I will first seek out Dr. Cury.
