Dr Walter Maier has been my primary care physician for several years. I like having a Dr nearby…read morethat always works me in when something comes up. From lab work that I need to get done regularly to the friendly office staff. Sue in referrals is the best, and usually has everything taken care of within minutes, not days. Austin the office manager is professional, friendly and easy to work with. Dr Maier listens to my concerns and works with me to achieve the goals I set each year. From Diet and exercise, to preventive maintenance. Recently found out he was an ER doctor for many years, which is nice to know in case I ever do have an emergency. I'm grateful to have Dr Maier and his staff, plan to stay as long as his practice is open. Lastly, even prescriptions are easy to refill, either by mail or in person at a local pharmacy. No complaints in all the years I've been a patient. He has a large patient base, but if you call and ask to be worked in if anyone cancels, you can usually be seen latwr that day by phone/video or within the week. Beats driving dth and MCH is a fantastic local hospital. Sincerely, Mike Wyatt

My biggest Shock was at the first of the year , (2024) When I walked into the office and one of his staff approached me and told me I had a balance due of $255! I immediately said What!? This is literally my first appointment of the year! His Accountant girl in the back said Oh, yes , that's your medicare deductible! ‍ In my entire life of being on Medicare never ever have I heard of this scam before! That day he ordered some labs, and a mammogram. And of course his office called me to come in so he could go over the mammogram, , and when I did , he literally sat down and said " well.... I guess, I'm supposed to go over this mammogram with you...." ‍‍‍ seriously! That took all of 3 minutes! The Best part is .. the Labs he ordered apparently Medicare didn't want to pay for.. I didn't find out until 1 year later! (1/11/2025) I'm appealing the $383 to Medicare, So I asked Dr Maiers if he could write a Letter Supporting his decision to order the Labs 1 year ago, He actually had the nerve to CHARGE ME $40!!! To write the Letter! As Well As say And I can't Guarantee This Will help.. His Front Office Staff are Extremely Nice , but this is a small mountain Community, and It's Not Fair to Treat Ppl Like This.... Especially Seniors..

I have been suffering from chest…read morepain and pain going down my left arm since I've never smoked and I've always exercised and lived a pretty healthy life. I ignored it stupidly on that particular day I felt the pain was worse than ever and I better go to the ER here to our wonderful hospital. Mountain Community Hospital in Lake Arrowhead. I went there feeling pretty cocky and thinking this will be nothing well once again. I was there approximately 7:45 in the morning and I was just complaining about chest pain and the incredible doctor and nurses took the bull by the horn and recognized the signs and started taking x-rays and what not and I'm saying it's nothing. It's nothing. I'm feeling pain here is there but immediately they saw and recognized issues and me being the stupid person that I am I'm saying no, I have to go to Spain in three days and they were fantastic. I cannot say oh my God how wonderful they were. They took the ball by the horn like I said and they immediately took some test and they said you're going to have to go down the hill to Riverside Community and I just thought that was crazy well fast-forward that was on 12 May a week later I ended up having open-heart surgery yes and I must say they literally saved my life that was told to me several times by the doctors and the cardiologist at Riverside Community. I would've had several heart attacks in Spain or the airplane had I not been at Riverside Community and had my open heart surgery and had a ER at Mountain community done what they did they literally saved my life that entire staff between the doctors and the entire staff between the nurses the radiologist. They are five star all the way we up here on the mountain are so blessed with the entire staff and the doctors they are our angels truly are angels. We need to stop complaining about the stupid stuff and realize how blessed we are to have the staff at Mountain community. They are really the best stop complaining about the stupid little stuff because they saved my life and I bless them every day. I wake up, I was told by my neurologist at Cedar Sinai that 82% of people don't even make it to the surgery table 82% and that would've been me had it not been the staff at the ER at Mountain community. We owe them so much. They are truly my heroes. Thank you so much ER department at Mountain community God bless you.

I've had to use the MCH ER the past 8 days, being an ER visit, coming and going, calling to inquire where I can pick up my records/ xray, and I've never been met with such snotty, rude behavior by the women sitting behind the windows at the entrance of the ER. The 3 women, I've dealt with, in the past week,are extremely rude and snotty. Keep in mind, I've been coming to the ER seldomly over 30+ (thankfully). The RNs are Doctors never have been this way.

When I went for my appointment they reviewed my medications and told me the doctor would not see me because I had a prescription for Tylenol codeine. I have major back issues and had this prescription for pain since 2007 (12 years) during that time I've only filled that prescription twice. At last count I had seven herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, advanced degenerative bone disease and arthritis. I can't take aspirin or anti inflammatory meds because I have a history of ulcers. I tried explaining this but the receptionist didn't relent. So if you have ever taken Tylenol codeine don't bother with this doctor.

Had to come next day to submit another one. Meanwhile, there was no way to get a response from the doctor till I actually came to the appointment. Few days after I spoke to the doctor I decided to do at-home pH test that showed I needed specific antibiotic. Took a full day of calling the office and texting the nurse. Was about to go to ER since my symptoms worsened when got a call from the nurse saying she sent prescription in for me. Got 90 antibiotic pills from pharmacy with no indication of how long to take them for - obviously, very possible mistake. Texted the nurse - no response, called office - took efforts to convince them that something may be wrong and I need to double-check with the doctor. Called another line and at last found out that it's only 7 and not 30 days I should take antibiotic for. Very frustrated! UPD: right after I posted this review, got a text response from the nurse, picture attached
