Amazing experience! After 8 years of infertility today my baby is 4 months now. All the staff is…read moresuper friendly. The treatment I received was affordable. I was paying my own insurance & it did cover some things other I had to pay out of pocket. I would recommend this place to anyone.

The office staff member must be under some disillusionment that she is running the hottest night club in town vs. a doctor's office. I called to make an appointment. I was told that the doctors are very careful about what patients they take in and that "it was an application process." That raised some yellow flags and I agreed to complete an application. The staff member then asked for my insurance information, which I provided (it is a generous commercial group PPO plan). The staff member then incorrectly informed me that while the specialty and fertility center was in-network with my insurance company, that Clovis Community was not. This is just categorically wrong: Clovis Community is an in-network hospital, verified with my insurance company. Even then I said that was fine: my insurance coverage is generous enough that my out of network care is reimbursed as if it was in-network. She lectured me that wasn't how they worked. I hung up at that point: it was clear they didn't want my business. I can only assume that - in the best case scenario - that the office member was misinformed. In the worst case scenario, they were applying racial screening or other screening. In any case, definitely not the kind of office you want to be dealing with during such an important and sensitive time in your life. Stay away.

No wonder I felt lousy, my testosterone was zero, my B12 & B 's very low, Vit D low, stress very high, achey & starving all of the time, hypoglycemia & hypertension due to the stress, etc. She took an entire hour to review my whole health picture. I have a Gyne, Family practice physician, and an Endocrinologist who could not make the positive impact on my health that Dr. Tais has made. She is amazing and I couldn't recommend her more. I also appreciate that she doesn't high pressure ANYTHING or make you feel like a used car lot. She recommends high quality supplements, and you can buy them wherever you want to. But they really work..... I feel 100% better, thanks to her in-depth assessment and that she actually looks at the whole person. Yes she is a bit pricey, but your health is your wealth so we have to prioritize our health, and she is worth it. Thank you Dr. Tais and team!!

Dr.Tais is the first naturopathic physician to treat me. I scoured the websites looking for a…read morenaturopath in the Fresno area, with the understanding my insurance would not cover any of my treatments with any such doctor. I had been quite ill for about three years and became frustrated with all of the poking and prodding ( 3 surgeries, and 1 year of physical therapy) my primary and all 14 specialists were asking me to endure. My labs, tests, cat-scans, MRI's and surgical findings always came up "inconclusive" or just "slightly off/out of range", no real definitive answer or name for why I felt so awful and my body was morphing into someone I no longer recognized. After the last major surgery I was desperate to feel well again and deteriorating quickly, with no faith in the physicians and surgeons caring for me. My primary said I was just a sensitive woman and indicated I may just have anxiety issues. Enough was enough, I took a leap of faith and emailed Dr. Tais who kindly responded and answered my questions about billing, payments , labs, and tests before scheduling a first visit via email. She let me know I was welcome to telephone with any other questions. I did telephone and she called me back, I was a little surprised at first because rarely does the actual provider speak to you on the phone themselves. Upon our first visit I found Dr. Tais to be kind, caring, patient, and a very good listener. She ordered a few labs, requested all of my records from my previous 14 specialists and primary care doctor and said she'd phone when results came in. In ONE VISIT and ONE ROUND OF LABS she chose to order she found the culprits of my rapidly declining health!! ONE VISIT !!!!! I was relieved and upset all at once, I wasn't crazy after all and SHE found out what was wrong in ONE VISIT!!! One of my first questions after wrapping my head around the treatment and the fact that I absolutely knew something was wrong with my health was..... "Did my previous panel of physicians miss this key indicator in my many rounds of labs with them?" Yes , they did!! It was right there in the labs that they forwarded to her themselves in black and white. It has taken everything in me to not go back in to every one of their offices and point out on their labs and her labs the egregious oversight that robbed me of 3 years of my life!! The doctors that my insurance would cover visits for wasted my time, resources, ordered time away from work, and missed my children's many milestones (years of my life) because they overlooked their own orders and labs. I am not a wealthy person and have paid a few thousands of dollars over the past three years trying to resolve my health issues. Had I only known about Dr. Tais and her practice I would have spared the three years of damage to my body, and had a much healthier and larger savings account. She is now the only doctor I trust, I chose to continue with her practice even after pinpointing the root cause of all of my many symptoms and am now a loyal and lifelong patient. I am feeling so much better now and we are working to fine tune the treatments to get me back to optimal health!!! The follow up visits (much less than the initial setup appointment) aren't too much more expensive than my regular copays with my health insurance and my husband agrees that Dr.Tais is worth every penny!!!

I was referred here by my regular doctor when we found out I was pregnant. Over the course of my…read morepregnancy, I made it to every appointment and while the staff were nice enough, I saw a different provider almost every single time. I met with Dr Kopacz ONCE, in which she wasn't very encouraging and I actually left feeling scared and sad, worried that my high risk pregnancy wasn't going to finish the way we wanted it to. Since I saw different people each time, I really never felt a connection to the office or like anyone was really watching out for me. When I was 34 weeks pregnant, I had a stress test across the way at Dr Ladella's -- i really wasn't feeling it that morning and wanted to cancel, but decided to go anyway. I didnt feel like anyone at FWMG was really watching out for me, so it felt like easy to cancel, Well, its a good thing I did go in that morning because when I went there, they saw I had preeclampsia and immediately sent me to the Hospital side of things where I had an emergency c-section, performed by a completely different dr than Dr Kopacz. A couple of days later, FWMG called me to remind me of my regular upcoming appointment, to which I said they could go ahead and cancel, you know -- since the baby was already here. No congratulations, no concern, no follow up. They just told me to come in when I was released from the hospital and before we took baby home. I never, ever felt like I had a "care provider", it was just a regular drop in and get out kind of place. I never did talk to or see Dr. Kopacz after my delivery. When my baby was finally strong enough and almost ready to go home, I had a follow up at FWMG. It was halloween and my provider came into the exam room and was dressed like a pinata. She threw candy at me and my husband. Really. I get that holidays are fun and it could be a cute way to break the tension, but I just had a life threatening episode and a baby in the NICU -- it felt like nobody took any of my pregnancy seriously. Aside from all that, the billing department does some werid accounting which has lead to many, many issues with my insurance company, the hospital, etc. Very frustrating right after everything. We're 6 months out and I'm still fighting it out. Sigh. Dr. Kopacz very flatly told me this will probably be my only pregnancy, but if in the event its not -- I will for sure be looking elsewhere for care.

I had my first appointment with this office yesterday and left after waiting for 2 hours without…read morebeing seen. I took time off work for this and not once did the unprofessional staff make me aware or apologize for the PA running behind. Furthermore, the MA/whomever roomed me after 1.5 hours of waiting, was dismissive about my PMDD diagnosis, implied that I would be given a PAP Smear regardless of my consent, and then when I finally told the staff at the 2 hours of waiting mark, that I was leaving, the response was "oh ok". Not offer of apology, no offer to reschedule. Additionally, I paid my co-pay for that visit and never got seen. So I paid to wait, and lost wages. The office was chaos, unprofessional, and I was made to feel entirely unwelcome and unimportant. They don't even wear name badges Horrible experience. As a healthcare worker myself, this is unacceptable.

I had a very pleasant experience working with them and coordinating payments with them so my surrogate can go to acupuncture. My surrogate was very happy with the services here. She told me that this was the first pregnancy out of 4 that she did acupuncture and this was her first pregnancy that she didn't have morning sickness and nausea!! I think it shows in the demeanor of our lovely child. She is a very calm and happy baby. I definitely think the pregnancy acupuncture has something to do with it! I highly recommend the pregnancy acupuncture services here!

I don't mind paying for quality care, but I do mind being rushed through what amounted to about 25 minutes of impersonal treatment. The doctor never asked about my job, lifestyle, or what caused my chronic shoulder pain. There was no intake, no conversation, and no questions beyond "where does it hurt." He spoke to me for only a couple of minutes, placed needles in what felt like a generic, one-size-fits-all pattern, and left the room. Someone else later added a very low level of current to only one small area and left again. Then a different staff member removed the needles and gave a "massage" that consisted of about four minutes of rubbing Biofreeze on me with oversized gloves. As a small business owner and a holistic practitioner myself, I would be sickened if a client walked out of my studio feeling the way I do right now. They knew I was paying out of pocket, yet the experience felt like a rushed, churn-and-burn insurance visit. It was impersonal, disorganized, and honestly felt like a factory line. To add insult to injury, my shoulder wasn't even bothering me today, but after this appointment and the stress and disappointment of the whole experience, it is tight again. For comparison, my husband had acupuncture with another practitioner in town who unfortunately moved away, and that experience was the complete opposite of what I received today. That practitioner spent a full hour with him, asked thoughtful questions, and tailored every part of the treatment to his needs. What I experienced today did not resemble that level of care at all. The doctor saw me for maybe five total minutes. Paying $160 for five minutes of actual attention is unacceptable. I left still in pain, upset, and feeling taken advantage of. I was genuinely excited to try a holistic provider close to home, but after today I will not be returning. The staff were friendly, but the entire environment felt confused and uncoordinated, almost as if a training session was happening and no one quite knew what to do. Overall, it was an extremely disappointing experience.

Before coming here I was beginning to lose hope for a baby, but Dr. Steinke's attitude and attention to detail has brought that back. I just had an HSG done today and was expecting to get the results Monday when I'm scheduled to see Dr. Steinke, but he just called me and gave me the results over the phone. We'll go into detail Monday meantime I'm so appreciative that he called me right away. This shows me how much he cares.

Also note that I had gestational diabetes. But what a lot of these people don't know is that I made it very clear to Doctor Steinke that I completely fear having to deliver C-section and that I would always prefer 100% to deliver vaginally. At the end of it all, Dr. Steinke looked after me because he did everything, and he really knows what to do, so I can deliver vaginal and not be cut open. Please note that from practice pushing to see if the baby will progress coming out up to the point of the baby being out it only took all of 30mins. The baby crowned and less than 5 mins later the baby was out. If it were other doctors I would've definitely been sent to Surgery for a C-Section.

He heard my concerns, set me up for success in many ways, and gave me confidence that I was not at all "too old" to have a positive experience and outcome. I suffered a miscarriage and his response in that phone call in the middle of the night was like a warm hug... and exactly what I needed. Fast forward, I had 2 perfect babies under his care (37 and 38 years old), 2 excellent C-sections, and support postpartum. I got to see him at every check-up, each being a minimal wait. Dr. Dave listened and gave just the right amount of information. He sent me to specialists at different offices when needed, even as a "just in case." I am SO thankful for Dr. Dave and his excellent staff. It was the experience I hoped for and more.

Dear Dr. Dorough, As…read moreI fight back tears, it's with a heavy heart that I write to you. I saw you back in January of this year after a long 2023 filled with missed periods and other symptoms. Like other doctors before you, you brushed off my concerns. Although you were not accepting patients, I desperately pleaded with your staff to find a doctor who would listen and care rather than apply quick fixes. You were quick to diagnose me with PCOS, but when I asked about checking my fertility further, you declined. You reassured me that, at 32 years old, I had nothing to worry about and that many women have children well into their 40s. You offered birth control to help regulate my periods. Despite my requests, you only conducted basic lab work that did not include fertility testing. By June of this year, I sought another opinion from an OB/GYN who checked my AMH, revealing it was 0.03. Just this July, I saw a reproductive endocrinologist who confirmed I have Primary Ovarian Insufficiency and diminished ovarian reserve, with only three eggs left. I am devastated. I hope no other women enter your office seeking answers on fertility only to be denied and brushed off due to their age. Since January, I have lived with false hope, believing my numerous symptoms were merely due to stress and PCOS, though I now know I don't have PCOS at all. If only you had listened to me back in January and just ordered fertility labs, which would have cost you nothing, perhaps I could have preserved more of my fertility. You hindered my chances of having children by denying my request. I hope no other woman experiences this at your hands. I hold you personally accountable.

While he…read moredid a good job with the delivery of my son, I have never met a medical provider with worse bedside manner. He is truly one of the rudest people I have ever met and I cried in the car out of frustration after every single prenatal appointment I had (and for anyone who has ever been pregnant you know there are a lot of them). He was rude about my weight gain (literally saying, and I quote, "wow you are really packing on the pounds, aren't you?"), dismissed all of my questions, interrupted me mid-question to answer the questions he thought I was asking (spoiler: it wasn't what I was asking) and I had to learn to advocate for myself more than anyone should have to do with their medical provider. He was rude to his office staff and one time came into my appointment and said, "These people are driving me crazy." He also told me none of the other doctors in his network were anywhere near as good of doctors as he is, but that they would "get the job done" if I happened to go into labor when he wasn't on call. However, I suppose it was lucky that he was on call when I went into labor because the Clovis Community Hospital staff were negligent and I almost didn't get my epidural in time due to nobody checking on me for literal hours while I waited in triage. So luckily Dr Dan used his pompous rudeness for good to be completely unkind to the hospital staff so that something was actually accomplished. We moved out of the state two months after my son was born and the sub-standard care we received both by Dr Dan and the hospital were the last straw for getting us out of the state. It is mind blowing that such a rude human being is not only a practicing PREGNANT LADY doctor, but that he is the only one recommended in the entire county. So I suppose that if you have to give birth in Fresno go with this guy, but just know that he is rude, disrespectful and in a lot of ways just truly the worst.
