After (unfortunately) having been to the emergency department several more times this summer, I…read morethought I would update my review. As I previously wrote about, my first experience with this hospital was horrendous. My nurse on that occasion, who I was subsequently able to identify as Robert, was cruel, callous, mean, sexist, discriminatory, incompetent, inappropriate, unqualified, and appeared to be high AF. On a subsequent occasion, Robert insisted that I should be able to cut slow release gel capsules in half, because he was convinced, without having seen the medication in question, that I was wrong about them being slow release gel capsules, and that they must be scored tablets (which they were definitely not). As a Sac State nursing school dropout, it really bothers me that Robert has a nursing license. However, that being said, some of the staff who I encountered on subsequent occasions were much more caring and competent than Robert. Some of them. Not all of them. But most of them, I think. One doctor told me that my ulna was broken, and when I repeated this to a different doctor, he showed my the x-ray to prove that it was actually my radius. Oh, okay, I just thought the wrong bone was broken for two weeks-- luckily it didn't affect my healing. Even though the doctor misidentified the bone, the nurse still splinted it correctly. In fact, when it comes to my broken bone, this hospital has actually been far more helpful than my doctor in Sacramento. Back in Sacramento, I had an ER follow-up, and was referred to an orthopedic office who wouldn't be able to cast my bone (which takes six weeks to heal) until FEBRUARY. What?! California is really just letting unhoused people walk around with untreated broken bones. Luckily, when I came back to this ER, they really helped me out. They tried out various forms of splints for my arm, and found one that seems to be working even better than a cast would have. The doctor who helped me this time, who seemed to be the chief doctor, was a total gem. He spent a lot of time answering all of my questions about bones. When I told him about how I couldn't get casted until February, he texted a friend, and gave me some unofficial (but good) advice. He delivered his advice on my intellectual level as a nursing school dropout. He did not come across sexist or condescending, as some of the other male staff had. He was very helpful. I had left Sacramento feeling like I might die from a broken bone, but left this hospital feeling pretty confident that it would heal just fine. The x-ray tech and the nurse who took me to and from radiology were also both great. While I would still like to hear from the hospital regarding any action they may be taking to address Robert's horrendous behavior, I have had much better experiences on subsequent visits.

So I'm overhere, filled out about 10 pages of paperwork asking if I was a DNR, how many sexual partners I've had, my work history, and only to be told I can be seen 245 bare minimum for a 115 appointment because the doctor is on lunch. I'll update as I get the appointment. I would think the fact I've been having chest pain that the doctor would have seen me sooner. So Dr. Sharrar seen me and Medical assistant Alan. Both were kind, compassionate and positive I'm healthy as everything shows up OK. EKG in one month and blood work. Ugh.

I needed follow-up 2-3 days after my hospital discharge but was told by his staff that the earliest appointment was 32 days away. Consequently, I have had no follow-up.

MACT Dental, Mariposa: 2026 May 19 (5 of 5)…read more Just being in a dental office can be challenging and scary. All those questions swimming inside my head... What's lurking in my mouth? What would they find? Why are they doing that? But I believe I have an awesome hygienist at MACT. Ali is professional and has great presence. After communicating with the insurance company, I called to schedule an appointment with Ali, the dental hygienist here. I feel very comfortable under his care. Ali explains what he's doing in detail without my prompting. I explained my previous situation to Ali. I mentioned that I had difficulty understanding what that dentist said and to see if I could see another dentist. Ali referred me to another dentist at the same office and even assisted me with the scheduling. Ali vouched for that dentist, and I trust Ali. My next appointment is towards the end of June and I'm actually looking forward to visiting with my 'new' dentist. *image approved by the dental hygienist

Dr. Nanra over saw my care while I was there and said if anything comes up come and see us. I decided to take him up on his offer today when I woke up to some questionable symptoms.

The doctor listened to my history and what led up to today and took all of that into consideration with his treatment options. I will definitely be returning here for my urgent care needs.
