After 3…read moreweeks in the isolation ward at Marshall I was discharged with a PICC line, 6000mg Vanc/tid w/ inhaled nebulized antibiotics for another 6 weeks. I saw ol' Jr. in the hospital where he directed me to rinse my sinuses using penile catheters using 4oz Betadine per 2 cups water ; like pouring salt in a wound, painful burning. I never did it again. Then saw him in-office; in a word, HORRIBLE. Post discharge, he attempted to cut polyps out of my very infected and tender sinuses (post total sinusotomy/polypectomy/turbinectomy 10 yrs previous) w/o any numbing; NONE. I screamed and he yelled at me to shut up. Never saw him again. I'm a retired plastic surgery nurse who previously worked for an ENT group in Sacramento no physician there, of the 10, would EVER have committed such an atrocity upon a patient. Glad I know better. Only newbies try the Marshall group. Then they move down the hill for better more compassionate care like the old EDC timers. The patient waiting rooms down the hill are full of EDC patients sharing their "Marshall" horror stories. Pass on Jr, you'll be glad you did.

ENTs are in short supply, there's no great solution as far as getting good care quickly…read more I'd say this guy is top notch, the doctor himself gets 5 stars, it's just the office scheduling apparatus is confusing if you're a bit disorganized. Problems were really due to my own disorganization but if you aren't punctual and organized you'll have to reschedule. First off it took about 6-7 weeks to get an appointment, but this is actually good as I explain later. Apparently ENTs need an audiologist's report to have an objective chart of frequency/deficit relationships with your hearing. This takes an hour, too expensive for an MD to do--so this is done by an ancillary person-- audiologist -- who has to have a separate appointment with you. So you get two appointments. There are also two offices, one in Woodland and one in Davis and if you are get confused and go to the wrong place you'll be too late to make it to the other office and will have to make another appointment maybe a week later. Guess how I know. They do try to schedule you with the audiologist one hour before doctor at the same location so if everything goes smooth it's not a headache. So make sure you grasp not just WHEN but WHERE your appointment is, because if you google the phone number to get the appointment it's two layers, you get the referral service first who gets you on a separate call to the people who can actually tell you when and where your appointment is. And they might not remind you WHICH OFFICE your appointment is. It's definitely more clumsy than have a number getting you to a receptionist who directly looks things up. Zavod himself is great, obviously very smart, very polite but engaging with refined Old World manners. I guess the long time to get an appointment helps him from being overworked and burnt out. He takes time to thoroughly get your history and details, and the time to carefully and sympathetically explain everything. Other doctor's offices I've gone to have a crowded waiting room because they're doing a model where the MD spends the absolute minimum time to bill the service with you, tell you the general category of your diagnosis, and then the next patient is herded in. They are at best superficially genial and detached, and you can tell they are not really interested in medicine anymore. They aren't tuned into the nuances of your particular case which offer the opportunity to optimize treatment. Zavod's not like that, he seems to have his clinical curiosity and empathy intact. At one point I laughed when he was describing my moderately severe condition and he looked sort of shocked. I explained that the whole apparatus he was carefully explaining was sort of comical, and reassured him I took my condition seriously. He wanted me to take my case seriously because he himself did, which is a good ad for him. I only acted so weird because I'm sort of a Buddhist and the body is just a cloud floating by.

I can also verify the timing with a receipt because I immediately went shopping when I left. Now he seems unreachable. Dr. Clutter seems to have retired in the past week so why was he taking new patients and why has his name been removed from the switchboard and no extension for him exists when calling the Folsom office. I have spent considerable time on this already and I have also left a message at Dr. Groppo's office on Friday, June 21, but no return call yet. Apparently, FRAUD is not a big enough thing to worry about. There are other reviews that said he has done the same thing. One back in 2019. So, how many have their been over the years? It's draining and time consuming for folks to get these kinds of charges removed. I hope Sacramento Ear, Nose and Throat will rectify this and remove the charge so I do not have to waste time escalating this to a state and/or medical agency.
