Have to say I agree with both the others reviewers on various, but not all, points. First, while I…read morethought the receptionist, Sheree, seemed very nice, she was smoking when I came up to the building (and it was in the middle of a very dry summer right by the bushes.) On principle, since I was desperately trying to find a "holistic" provider since reallocating from Washington, this alone should have deterred me. But, I decided to give them a try even knowing that they would not accept my Blue Shield insurance. I made my decision in large part because as Sheree said, "if you are healthy the top end of a visit each year will not be much more anyway".
Yeah... Like the other reviewer said-buyer beware. I had my visit, but then found out that if I were to do a PAP smear through their office, it would be just shy of $150.00 or, if I went to a preferred provider and had them order the test it would be "0". No brainer, right? Even when I shared this with Sheree she said, yes, go to the free place. She ended up denying this however, because when I went to get my birth control pill filled from Katie, the owner and nurse practitioner, she said, no way would she order me more than an emergency supply since I did not use her for the Pap smear!!! As I write this, almost a year later, I am still in shock and deeply horrified by this, As I said to her then this is extortion-plain and simple, and from a medical provider no less, unbelievable and 100% true. She then had the audacity to write me a letter dismissing me from her practice. Of course, i never would have returned anyway and still can not believe this person remains in practice.
I could fill a complaint with the medical board, but, due to life's time constraints, I have not yet done so. Jaw dropping, unethical service. If anyone has any recommendations on a competent, ethical preventive, holistic MD, FNP or DO, would love to know names.
