Consider myself so cursed. What are the odds of me contracting pancreatic cancer? According to my…read moreoncologist, it has nothing to do with my lifestyle (I don't smoke, drink or do drugs); I don't have family history and my only vice is I love to eat. According to my oncologist, it was a random mutation of the cells, whatever that meant and that could happen to anyone my age. So, you mean shit happened? Yes! He reluctantly agreed without going into a maze of medical mumbo jumbo. That was 2 years ago when I started with low grade fever and stomach discomfort. My primary care doc, Dr. Morse, referred me to Dr. Arifuddin, a respected board certified gastroenterologist and hepatologist in Santa Rosa. I'd not be around today if not for these 2 docs. Dr Ariffudin was the first to detect my cancer after an ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography) and a biopsy of my bile duct and pancreatic cells. A stent was put in and without going into details; this helped me to prolong my life for 2 years and of course with the help of chemo and radiation. The low-grade fever and stomach discomfort returned a month ago. There is such a thing, as stent migration and it got lost in my stomach. Dr. Arriffudin was back to my rescue and performed another ERCP on me by putting in a spanking new stent. He is very skillful at what he is doing and probably the only GI doc that can do this north of the GG Bridge up to Oregon. He is very caring and adorable with a heart of gold. Although I know there are no guarantees the new stent can prolong my life any much more that it did, but it has sure got rid of my fever and discomfort. I now consider myself so blessed. A special shout out goes to Dane Shoemaker, Dr. Arrifuddin's capable Certified Nurse Practitioner, who was just as cordial and knowledgeable to fill in. Without any hesitation, go see Dr. Ariffuddin for any of your digestive problems. That would include colonoscopy too!

I have been a patient for 10 years. I have had the experience Lynne had more than once. My…read moreprescriptions have run out (and not prematurely) and I have waited weeks to see the doctor with no interim prescription. It is very frustrating and indicative of the level of care they provide their patients. I will have one more appointment only because my insurance requires a month to switch over to the new health provider. I agree with avoiding Ukiah Valley Rural Health center for your health care needs.

Worst pain management doctor EVER!!! He lies to me constantly over the last three years on excuses…read morewhy he cannot or will not titrate my medication. I have been on the same initial dose of opioid pain medication can for three year and have heard every excuse from New FDA regulation to his patients dying causing his ability to change in prescriptions frozen while under review. He tells me that he is not willing to try any other treatments other than to hit the refill button monthly. He doesn't care about my pain, suffering, this causing me to drop out of a doctorate program, and ruining my life. He has no sympathy or compassion. Appointments last about two minutes always recorded now where he doesn't care or even ask about my pain. I have been hospitalized several times for Tylenol overdose and GI bleeding due to this added stress, but still doesn't care. Choose a different doctor. He doesn't and shouldn't be practicing medicine since he doesn't care or adequately treat their pain!

On top of this, they are trying to sell you EXPENSIVE skin care products that are endocrine system disrupters and made with petroleum products and chemicals KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER. Then the practitioner that saw me was discussing my private medical information in the lobby in front of a bunch of strangers. Completely unprofessional and incompetent. Wow! This practice is literally the worst. Even if my mortal enemy asked me for a suggestion on a dermatology clinic, I would not send them here. You have been warned.

I tried calling for clarification and the office number went to an automated number. So I ran into another office to get directions and finally found the space 8 min after my scheduled time. The receptionist was less than friendly and asked if I had my paperwork. I don't recall ever receiving any paperwork but could have filled it out quite quickly. She told me to wait and went and spoke to someone for a good five minutes. Returned and very abruptly just said I would have to reschedule. I asked - just because I'm 8 min late? I literally couldn't find the building to start. And she said yes because of that and not having my paperwork, and the DR has a very tight schedule. I just had waited a month and literally 45 min to make this appointment to be dismissed that quickly. No thanks. Will find another office that answers their phone and is more helpful.
