I honestly believe Dr. Enriquez saved my life. I never did express the amount of true gratitude I have for his skills and kindness. In January 2014 I noticed a lump in my left breast, about the size of a cherry. I wasn't too worried by it because I have fibrous breasts anyways. A week goes by and I noticed it had gotten bigger. Obviously I'm a bit freaked out now and go to the ER. They confirmed that there was a lump (go figure) and told me to go to a doctors office and get an ultrasound on it. Over the next week I went to the ER 2 more times, begging them to just ultrasound the lump because it was slowly getting larger. Each time they turned me away. Eventually I scheduled an appointment with Truxtun Radiology on stockdale. If I remember correctly I had to wait about a week to get in. By the time I got to their office the lump had grown to the size of a baseball. I had done my research up until this point and because it had gotten so big so fast, I figured it must be a cyst. The nurse did an ultrasound and confirmed that it was a cyst. 45 minutes later I was in an operating room (awake) with a doctor sticking a large needle through the side of my breast into the cyst and draining it (disgusting I know). He sent me home with some antibiotics, which I filled and started to take. Over the next 3 days the cyst started filling up again. My worst nightmare had become reality. Thank God I was referred to Dr. Enriquez by my old primary doctor. I scheduled an appointment to come in and see him. Got in fast. And didn't have to wait too long. He came in the room, looked at my chest and said, "Why did you wait so long, we need to do surgery immediately." He then proceeded to tell me that I needed to admit myself into San Joaquin Hospital (where he would operate on me) and was going to put me on an IV of heavy antibiotics for the night. He did surgery on me the next morning. I stayed in the hospital for 3 days because of that cyst. When I saw him for the check up he said that was the largest cyst he'd ever operated on and that if I had waited a few days more I would have been in serious trouble. Thank you so much Dr. Enriquez for doing the wonderful job you did for me and making my life a priority. My breast recovered beautifully, with a scar to always remind me, but at least I still have it. (: read more

I had critical results come back and I tried to schedule an appointment. I couldn't get an appointment until June 9th 2 months out. I ended up going to the ER and was going to get treated, but the Dr from kern vascular said not to treat me and schedule an appointment with his office. I tried to schedule an appointment and the receptionist were rude and don't care about the issues going on. I couldn't get an appointment until 3 weeks later. I ended up firing this office and now I'm on my way to LAMC KAISER who got me in to see a Dr in 3 days. This is the worst care I have ever gotten, from the Dr to the entire medical staff. BEWARE...DONT ACCEPT THE REFERRAL TO THIS PLACE AND GET A SECOND OPINION! read more

Love the doctor but I don't appreciate waiting the extended period of time . I over heard the receptionist say that they overbook. I believe it. I have NEVER not had to wait and wait and wait. Then I finally get into a room only to wait again . I'm not sure what the problem is, but it needs to be fixed. They close in under a hour and there are still many people waiting. I truly dread having to come here because I know it's going to be a long wait. By the way, I've been waiting 45 min past my appointment ,,still sitting out in the waiting room. I should mention that it's only in the front office not the back one. read more

This app restrains my need to associate zero stars with this doctor. Someone wrote below that if you found fault with this doctor or his staff, then "you didn't know the first thing about running a medical office. There is a reason why the overall review here on Google Maps is so low. I have over 30 years, and I have de-escalated innumerable confrontations of all flavors. I know whereof I speak. These are my complaints: First, I was told a referral was made to his office, and I was told that Dr. Nguyen's office would call me. No call. So I look the doctor up, and his office's address is given as 4901Centennial Way. I call them for an appointment, and I am given a Saturday date. I question the doctor's employee about the Saturday date. "Oh, yeah. We see lots of people on Saturday." I am told. I go to the above address. There are no cars in the parking lot, the lights are out, and there is another car circling the parking lot with a driver that has a look that tells me I am not the only one that is confused. I inquire on Monday using the same number that I booked the original appointment with. "Oh, he has two (2) offices." I remake the appointment. I show up today, and there is no one at the front desk. I wait and I wait. Finally the receptionist shows up, and she can see that I am put out. I give her my name, and she asks for my insurance card and ID. I am having trouble getting them out of my wallet and trying to explain the problems that I have had making the appointment. She cuts me off, again asking for the cards. I say, "Just a moment." She can see I am struggling with the cards, and she immediately asks yet again for the cards. I was angry at this point. I said, "Take a breath; I am getting them out." When I got the cards, I threw them on the desk. The doctor sees me. After he tells me who he is, he immediately accuses me of throwing cards at his employee, and he can't have that. The doctor did not ask for my version of events. He said that a priority of his was to protect his staff. I told him my version of events, which includes me throwing the cards on the desk and "not at his employee." The doctor said that it was my fault for escalating the situation. I told him he could have easily de-escated the situation by just asking for my version of the events, telling me that he would talk to the receptionist about being more patient, and asking me nicely to hand my cards to the receptionist. His way of handling things only made things worse. I will never know if Dr. Nguyen is a good doctor or not. I ended up walking out. Given the way he handled things, if his staff ever does something that harms a patient, though, I know who's back he'll have. read more

If you don't mind waiting 2 hours to see the Dr. The waiting room is not comfortable and room was kept very cold. This was our second visit; the first visit was the same. There won't be a third visit. read more

This is one of the worst doctors offices I've ever been to. My appointment was for 10:15 I didn't even get into the room until 11:15. Then I waited another 20 minutes. This place sucks! When I asked they shrugged me off by saying there were other people ahead of me. What's the point of scheduling an appointment 3 months in advance? They were also dismissive and rude read more

I gave 1 star only because I had to, to give this review! I honestly believe the hiring criteria for their reception is to be rude and incompetent, these ladies ask a question and do not let you answer, and are quick to ignore you if you correct their mistake or their actions. They act as if they are busy while you need assistance however they sit behind the desk browsing on their phones laughing and talking about their after work activities. It takes an act of God to get them to answer the phone when you call in and if you leave a message for a call back you will not get one! This is the most unprofessional office I have ever visited the staff is garbage but the doctor is good. When you complain it's always received with a snarky snicker followed by we will address the issue. I'd love to be able to chat with some there who can actually make a difference! read more

Super Fast!! Never been in and out at any doctor office until now. Waiting maybe less than 5 mins arriving and again less than 5 mins waiting for doctor. Everyone there seems happy to work there and it shows!!! read more

My husband made an appointment with Dr Nyguen based on hematologist's recommendation. When we got to the appointment we saw Dr Honari..not the doctor we asked for. She seemed competent and got a good history and suggested some ultrasounds with a sense of urgency stating she would call with results within the week. No phone call and when we called for a follow up appointment sooner than a month plus they could only see us two weeks later. Still no phone call. When we got to the office spouse was not allowed in as I was a few minutes late and the door where patient see doctor was "closed". My husband got some feedback but had a strong impression that the doctor had just overlooked his results. We did not feel confident at all having her do the procedure she semi recommended. We will be going to UCLA for a second opinion. Wish we had better choices in Bakersfield! read more

Took 4 hears to do a 10 minute consultation. Switched my doctor and also rescheduled me 3 times for surgery.

I was scheduled for a Saturday and I thought this would work out well because who wants to spend a Saturday at the doctors. Well I was wrong, the office was packed with patients waiting to be seen. Some of the patients sitting around me were commenting on how crowded it was and how long their wait had been. After waiting a few minutes short of an hour I was finally called in. Once in the exam room I was instructed to take my shoes and pants off and put on a paper gown. Then once again I waited. Actually my wait in the exam room was much longer then the time I saw the doctor. He took my pulse at the ankles, stated it was good and strong, then said I would need further tests. The way he talked about the tests was to say "we will schedule you to go and get the tests". This made me believe I would get the tests somewhere else. When I questioned this he stated "we are not on the same page"...several times. Finally he said the tests would be done on the other side of the building. From there our discussion went down hill fast. When I commented that it was obvious they had over booked their patient load, a common practice in todays economy with insurance companies paying less per patient per visit the assistant with the doctor stated they were short staffed. The professional thing to do when the day started without enough staff would have been to call some patients and ask if they would like to be rescheduled. The doctor was rude and condescending without any type of professional attitude. The staff member that checked me in and the one with the doctor were professional. 75% of the rest of the front office staff never smiled at the people they interacted with that I observed. I did not make a return appointment. I consider my doctor and this practice fired and I will not return. I cannot recommend this practice to anyone. Your experience may differ however based on the majority of reviews I doubt it. I wish I had read the reviews first before wasting my Saturday morning. read more

worse doctors ever always re-scheduling as it is it takes forever for them to give you an appointment in the first place. the receptionist have the worst attitude. read more

Dr. Bui is excellent but unfortunately the staff employed here have no manners at all. I was once left in a room by an MA I'm assuming for an hour. When she returned to clean the room and saw me, she asked rudely what are you doing in here? I said, you put me in here. Right now, just received a phone call to confirm an appointment and person on the phone did not even know the address when asked put me on hold to gather that information. Then proceeded to hang up. No nothing. Etiquette is key when dealing with patients. read more

I was referred to this doctor's office to get my VNS battery changed (its a stimulator that controls my seizures) I went in on November 10 first time patient I was in and out before I even finished my paperwork. The doctor came in the room and didn't know why I was there, he didn't even examine me. I was given a surgery date for November 29 he said he wanted me scheduled stat. One week before I was to go in I called the hospital were I was to have my surgery and they didn't have me scheduled. I called the doctors office and they had made a mistake and overbooked so my surgery was moved to December 5 I was not called to inform me of the change. My wife requested to have the 29 off and now has to see if she can change her dates, such an inconvenience. It's so much more I want to say about this office but I would be typing all day. read more

My mother was referred to Dr Bui by Kaiser. Unfortunately, the front office staff seem like newly graduated vocational school students, they are slightly above incompetent and slow. They must triple book because appointment times mean nothing. There is no respect for your TIME. I suggest you bring lots to read or a long game to play because you will be waiting hours upon hours. I'm not certain the quality of care rendered is worth the wait. You are finally, hours later, ushered into a room where you will then get the bums rush because Dr Bui is overbooked. He seems in a rush to blurt issues out then wants to quickly exit the room. Made me feel as though he is strictly in this field for the money. Well, we paid good money to see him so expect the courtesy of his time to respond to our inquiries Although his office staff said they would follow up to schedule another exam and tests, they never followed through. I had to make repeated calls to his office to get anything done. Based on our poor experience and medical care I cannot recommend him or his office. There will not be a next time as I intend to request a different doctor if need be. read more

Dr.Honari took great care of my mother, fixing what another doctor screwed up. Awesome bedside manner, explained the procedure and what issues she saw. Dr Bui saw Mother her last trip to the hospital and took good care of her. Dr Honari is now taking great care of my cousin. The only criticism I have is not having a hoyer lift for wheelchair bound patients. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I definitely would! For starters, my mom was scheduled to get an ultra sound of her veins but her leg was wrapped up. This meant the staff had to cut it off. They were very rough at cutting it off so much that they even cut her calf with the scissors they were using! He didn't even apologize for cutting her! They completed the ultrasound and none of the 3 employees there knew how to re-wrap her leg again! They admitted to not remembering during the one lesson that they had. Now, the set my mom up with a vein procedure. For this procedure she was supposed to have medication to relax her some type of prescribed pain killer. The Vascular Center knew they had to prescribe this to her for about a month and they never sent in the prescription. I pestered them the entire 2 weeks prior to her procedure without any luck. The staff there would LIE and tell me they sent in the prescription when they didn't. It is now the day of the procedure and I have not gotten the staff to send in the prescription for my mom's medication. The staff was very rude, very disorganized and also very dishonest. They claimed to be on the phone with rite aid but never thought that I would physically be at rite aid where they confirmed and I saw that none of the pharmacists were on the phone. After bitching at them and going off on them, the center finally sent in the prescription. Only to have rite aid tell me it would be 2.5hrs to process the prescription order. I explained to rite aid and they super helped me out by having it ready within 15 minutes. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! Please go elsewhere.... read more

Since moving to this city, I have had a lot of bad experiences with finding services that I can trust.. sadly... that even extends to medical needs. I really miss my previous providers, because I trusted them and this is my life we are talking about, so it's very important to me. I was very pleased with this location, both with the staff and with Dr Bui. I feel like I can count on them to take care of my health needs so I can say, I am glad they were recommended to me. Nobody likes having to go to the Dr.s, but at least I feel like I am in good hands here. I would recommend this place to anyone that has vascular needs. read more

My elderly mom drove miles to this facility. She was in there waiting room for an hour plus and still hadn't been called. There were many chairs very close to each other filled with people and only 50% of the people were wearing masks. She ended up leaving without seeing her doctor because she was not feeling safe in their facility. This was her third and last visit to this facility. She will be finding another doctor. read more

This place is a joke. My dad had a 12 noon appointment after an hour I asked for an update the medical rep at the counter says oh your appointment was accurately at 2pm. No one told me this Think twice or double check appointments with this place. These people actually act like they don't give a crap about you. read more

I've been bringing my dad here the last 2 years and haven't had any bad experiences with Dr.Bui. We were referred to him by BFMC after my dad experienced swelling and numbness in his feet. Great service in the front desk area with friendly staff. Dr. Bui was professional and very informative. I would recommend him to anyone experiencing vascular problems. read more

Ridiculous wait times! 8:15 appointment and finally got put into a room an hour later. THEN! Sat in the exam room for 45 mins before being seen! read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would my mother was referred to Dr.Honari by BFMC. Thus began the nightmare. Dr. Honari was rude and arrogant towards my mother. My mother is only Spanish speaking therefore Dr. Honari treated her poorly. She also performed a botch procedure on my mother which resulted in her developing multiple blood clots in her artificial veins, and let me just tell you that is painful!!!! So many more things I want to put out however to many to type. Just stay away from this "Doctor" she is horrible, and unprofessional. Last note not once has she called knowing my mother's situation to check in. Will be reporting her to board! read more

UFORTUNATELY...The staff is friendly and very nice this was our first visit there to see Sara Honari.. we were in the exam room 15 minutes those including getting undressed in redressed her time in the room was 8 to 10 minute. I was sitting back in my car all in 25 minutes... Her exam consist of barely touching the problem veins, we asked her a question she was very short and Didnt explained anything didn't even give us a chance to explain The symptoms and problems that were taking place in the type of work being done. Needless to say I will probably be billed as a new patient with a high co-pay which would be incorrect ICD nine code 99204-99203 new patients is considered a 30 to 45 minute face to face patient consult or exam, sure didn't get that. I could have overlooked her dingy wrinkle white coat if her Mannerisms would have been better. Of course this is all my opinion but since I pay my insurance, which is not cheap,, would like to voice my opinion!!! read more

Dr. Honari is hands down the best. She really takes the time to sit down and listen to your concerns and walks you through the treatment plan, and answers all your questions thoroughly. The office is well kept and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend her! read more

Checked on at 2, it's 3 and still not called back. I had a 2pm appt. At least tell me you're running late. Very unprofessional.

My Mom Had An Appointment At 2,We Were About 5 Minutes Late Due To A Lane Closure On Our Way There & We Had To Detour. Once We Get There & My Mom Gives Her Name The Girl At The Counter Says "You're Late" I Explain The Situation & She Just Sits There With The Ugliest Look On Her Face. I Then Say "Well Are We Going To Have To Reschedule" & She Says Take A Seat. There Was An Older Gentlemen Sitting There Who Was Called Up Shortly After We Took A Seat & She Gave Him Attitude As Well. The Nurse Then Calls My Mom & After Seeing Something In Her Results..She Sends Us Back To The Lobby So She Could Set Up To Do Another Exam At Which Point The Rude Girl That First Helped Us Says "She Was Like Really Late I Can Make Her Come Back" SERIOUSLY? If It Wasn't For The Actual Doctors,The Girls In The Front Would Run This Place To The Ground. I Completely Get Being On Time,Which Is Why I Asked In The First Place If We Would Need To Reschedule! I Get Time Is Money,Believe Me I Would Have Been Okay With Coming Back Another Day,On Time,If It Meant Not Getting Her Attitude & Disrespect. read more

My Moms appointment was at 3;30 and she wasn't seen until almost 5:00pm. The less than friendly or professional reception staff were telling patients they double booked patients. This was due to the fact that the Dr. was leaving for a three week vacation.. The reception staff does not greet people as they walk in or leave the office. They are not friendly and seem to be in a hurry .It was very warm and uncomfortable in the reception area. No air flow on a very warm day. The Dr. seemed nice. His bedside manner could use a bit of improvement. He explained my Moms condition and what he was going to do to treat her. I cant say im totally confident in the Dr. yet. I wasn't really impressed yet. Its difficult to determine his competency without knowing his record. Therefore Im doing some research. However I can say with complete confidence that the office staff needs some training regarding how they interact with patients and one another in a professional, polite and patient manner. My mother was at the same office two days prior and the reception staff was arguing among themselves. That was totally rude and unprofessional. read more
