I was recently advised that I would have to leave my healthcare practice by March 2027 due to current staffing shortage and how hard it has been over the years to find and hire someone. I saw on Nextdoor a referral to a new healthcare practice called Juniper. It is only for seniors over 65 with medical coverage from Medicare and Medicare Supplimental plans. . They apparently don't take private pay, Medicare Advantage (so few people take that any way) or Medicaid. This set up was perfect with me and they are taking new patients. When you call to enroll it is followed up by a telephone consult that goes into great detail about the practice and it really worked for me. I like the fact that they did this pre-scanning so they didn't have to waste people's time. After that call, I received a prompt appointment and was able to fill out the enrollment form online. As usual with online applications, and often the ones on paper. There just isn't enough room to put down the information you need such as all your doctors, prescriptions and prior medical treatments. So after I I filled out my online application, I took information directly to their office that had all of that stuff so that I didn't have to waste time filling in all the details. I was hoping that they would be able to enter all of that information into their system before my first appointment. It had all been entered! So I just went to my first appointment yesterday with Kelly Morales, a PA (Physician Assistant) who was just wonderful. In addition, I did bring a paper copy of the additional information and again she was able to ask lots of questions directly from that detail. Being obsessive, I also took copies of my latest blood test, bone density test, my last colonoscopy and mammogram results. Again, she was just able to read down all of this information and ask questions. I felt it very important that I had that since I was changing a medical practice which had for 10 years worth of information. She has all of that detail that was relevant to now and the past history. She noted that most people who come in, their answers to doctors, medical procedures, and the prescriptions often end up with answers of " I don't know" which to me is very frightening. It sort of wastes that initial visit time. So we had a very effective first appointment. She was very thorough and I never for one moment did I feel that I was being rushed, which is actually my usual experience with physicians assistance, which is why I like them so much. I know some people are really wary of having a PA as your primary care person, but there is a doctor who is available for the more complicated thing. Please look up what the education requirements are for a PA. You will probably be stunned to find out how extensive their education and hands on experience needs to be before they get licensed. I think that should dissuade anyone from being worried about being treated by them. read more

Given the scarcity of general practice medical care in Shasta County, Juniper met my expectations and then some and I have high standards for people I trust with my health. read more

Grateful for Juniper Healthcare as both my parents are patients and I appreciate the format and personal care they offer especially in such a challenging time to find healthcare! Thank you. read more

There are many great things about Juniper. It's set up for Medicare patents and they cater to seniors. There is a real doctor dr Curran on staff. We get to see him once a year. The support staff seems a little inexperienced. I could not get a gastro referral filled for almost a year. Inexperience about where to send someone and how to communicate with the offices. read more

Wonderful care for us old folks. Very personable and caring place. Highly recommend

I have not had very good luck with providers in the Redding area until I went to Juniper yesterday. They got me right in. I saw Kaylin. She spent a long time with me and answered every question I had as well as her asking me questions I never thought of. I have an ingrown toenail and she will be removing it in less than a week after waiting with another provider for over a year. I'm thrilled with the service I received. I highly recommend Juniper Healthcare. If you want an excellent person to see with any issues you should ask for Kaylin. read more

Treated with extreme disrespect and variable professional conduct. Clinical staff (NP) needs empathy and further training.

Front desk staff is great, practitioners are kind and caring. Spent time with me, not rushed like previous offices. Got referrals to specialist right away, no follow up calls needed to Juniper! read more

Had an appt for 10:30 and got there 15 mins early. At 11:00 we were still sitting there waiting!! 45 mins we waited and they took people back that had come in after us. Very poor service!!! We left. read more

Fantastic high access MediCare clinic for adults over 65. Redding has needed this for a long time!

Made a call to get established and they emailed forms to fill out. Didn't receive a confirmation or any further communication till a week later and they scheduled an 8 am appointment. I waited 30 minutes at the appointment and was called to the front desk and told they couldn't see me due to nothing having an initial appointment. I am 100% disabled and it is a pain to make appointments so ask if they could just do this initial visit since I was there - oh no they couldn't do that. I called on an assistant manager and she told me that i should of know about the initial appointment . How can I when there was no communication? Then told me some staff didn't know about the inital appointment requirements or didn't look at my file, which basically means poor training. The inital meeting isnt a physical so the 45 minutes is an easy way to charge the customer for who knows what. Very frustrating experience and based on my inital interaction with Juniper I doubt they are really ready to provide the services until they educate the staff and provide proper communication! Very disappointing and not attempting to account for the difficulty of my handicap since I was in their facility due to an appointment they made shows they don't have much respect for the customer and provide some form of work around. I guess they just want that coin for the 45 minutes initial appointment instead of showing much respect for the customer since I was already there due to their own error. Just a warning to others of my terrible first encounter with Juniper. read more

Amazing business that truly cares about their patients and treats them like family. I would recommend Dr.Curran and his providers to anyone.

They do not accept Medicare advantage plans. if you're looking for a care provider that accepts Medicare advantage plans, this is not the place as I understand that they do not accept any Medicare plan that has a Medicare advantage. read more
