We recently needed to find home care, in Ridgecrest, for our mother after being discharged from a…read moreskilled nursing facility. The idea was to be able for this 95 year old and my 90 year old dad to continue living in their home, with some assistance, and to take the pressure off family members. We contacted Allied Home Care, immediately surprised they serviced the Ridgecrest area, and were treated with such kindness. Efrain listened to our needs and was able to arrange a caregiver for the day after she came home, a weeks notice. The caregivers were pleasant and willing to help with whatever we asked and deemed necessary. We chose a four hour a day, 7 day a week schedule, This allowed for the caregiver to prepare and serve a hot meal, change the sheets on their bed, laundry, be there while our parents showered and just to have someone for our parents to talk to; all important tasks that make a big difference. The caregivers would also run errands such as pick up groceries or prescriptions, even take them to medical appointments if need be. I understand that Allied also has caregivers that are trained in more nursing type care as well, for those clients that do need more and different care. i would not hesitate to refer

My family and I highly recommend Around The Clock Home Care. So far, two of my family members have…read moreused Around The Clock services a total of five times. We initially found out about them from Encompass rehabilitation hospital (formerly Health South), and have specifically requested them ever since. My mother and brother are fairly fragile health-wise, and after injuries and surgeries (and hospital stays) they have had nurse visits, physical therapy (PT) visits, and occupational therapy (OT) visits. Only one staff member (a PT several years ago) was less than stellar. Otherwise, the nurses, supervisors, PT's and OT's have been wonderful. I wanted to highlight two of our favorites. Tilly is an OT that worked with my brother recently. Her attitude and personality "sparkles" as my mom says. She makes the work fun for the patient because of her warm and caring personality. And she really works with the patient rather than just giving advice and directions. She is conscientious and her work with my brother has made all the difference in getting him back to being mobile and to the point where he can do his self-care independently. My mom says that any positive adjective can be used to describe her. Fernando is a PT that has worked with both my mom and brother most of the times that we used Around The Clock. Fernando, like Tilly, is conscientious, well-skilled, great to work with, very helpful and reasonable in his therapy plans. It has always been a real treat and benefit to be able to get Fernando assigned to my family members. Our interaction with the office staff has always been positive. I can say with total confidence that my mother's and brother's recovery once released from the hospital or from Encompass were all much better and quicker due to the wonderful care of Tilly, Fernando, and the nurses and supervisors at Around The Clock Home Care. If I ever need such care, I will make sure that I am cared for by Around the Clock!

Sadly one of my BFFs needed hospice so, together, we researched the Bakersfield Hospice providers…read moreand what to expect from the wonderful RNs & CNAs. My friend had done a great deal of volunteer work to include Ombudsman for Long-Term Care Facilities so she was well aware of which physicians she wanted to avoid. So we simply started calling Hospice providers while using the speaker phone so we could both be included in the conversation. The first two calls we made were answered by individuals with very strong foreign accents who were difficult to understand and seemed to be in a big hurry as they quickly rattled off answers to our questions. It felt overwhelming. Then we called Hoffman Hospice and the difference was as the night to day! The person we spoke with was understandable, calm and patient answering our myriad of questions. Right then and there we knew who would be her hospice provider. A couple of months later, I unexpectedly became my friend's primary caregiver and experienced first-hand the expertise and care of the wonderful Hoffman Hospice providers. I couldn't have felt more supported during this trying and emotional time.

In my third visit with her, today, I had to literally walk out and won't be back! I asked other staff if she was just having a bad day. So consistently condescending but today she was actually rude. I asked about side effects of a particular drug she stated no one had ever complained to her before and dismissed my question. Then when I asked her to clarify something she got irritated with me and started with more condescension. If you don't agree with her she will belittle you into thinking you're the one that's wrong rather than explaining like most doctors! No thanks! Update: 04/15/26 - I spoke with Dr Gilli on the phone and it's seems they are somewhat flippant and unapologetic in their attitude towards the situation. I don't feel comfortable with this response that she "always" treats patients with respect after I conveyed the opposite in a professional manner over the phone. This was damage control gone wrong imo. Black box warnings are serious and it's too bad this Dr. doesn't care to make any changes as she is a 25 year employees with the company. He's got her back regardless. I appreciate the call back but it's clear his attitude is just like hers. They don't care.

Considering it is the cold months, it wasn't busy coming in on a weekday mid afternoon (they close at 8pm daily). Office was very clean. Wait time wasn't too bad (15mins that's including the time I had fill out paperwork). Staff were very welcoming, nice and patient. They ask that you kindly wear a mask if you don't show up with one (no biggie!). I knew I would have some sort of respiratory issue but wasn't expecting bronchitis. I saw the NP and she was so nice and thorough. Administered an injection, breathing treatment while I was there, and ordered the recommended medications for further treatment. Overall my experience there went really great and so happy I got to come. I felt seen and heard - oppose to other urgent care places where you're rushed out the door. Thank you for taking care of me.

I just started coming to this facility, and I really like it!…read more I've only had the pleasure of meeting my PCP doctor once, but can tell she's a very good doctor, takes the time to listen and ask questions & was just an easy person to talk to and open up with. I had a broken foot so she ended up putting in an (expedited) referral to see the foot specialist, which just so happened to be located on the second floor! The very next day the referral was approved and the podiatrist office (foot doctor) was calling me to set up an appointment for THAT following day... Super fast! I've seen the podiatrist a handful of times since then, and he's a really cool guy as well! Communicates well and definitely has your best interest at heart! Pretty funny guy too! I've also gotten my blood taken here per my doctor's request, and have had several foot x-rays done here as well, I love that everything is located in ONE building!! The building isn't even super huge either! so it's easy to navigate around. They even have an ER! Plus I've noticed that they're hardly ever busy! It's pretty much empty every time I've come! wait times are no longer than 10 minutes at the most. My last appointment I was 30 minutes early and they were able to get me in right away! Just seems to good to be true lol. Friendly staff, clean facility, so grateful to have Dr Raju (her nickname) as my PCP and BFMC as my doctors office. -The end.

She's much more thorough than other MDs I've had. She's very personable as well, making those dreaded doctor appointments much easier. The office staff itself can be pretty hit-or-miss; it's a typical doctor's office. I do like that if you need blood work you can either do it in the office or walk a couple of buildings down to Quest Diagnostics. They can bill your co-pay to you, but if your bill goes over what's included in your insurance plan, have some Advil handy because it's seriously a headache trying to get a hold of these people just so you can get on a payment plan. They also have a website that you can log in to to pay your bill, but it doesn't always work.
