The office runs fine and I'm grateful for the care I received here. Living in another city I saw…read morehow difficult it can be to get good primary care and I deeply appreciate Dr Whelan for being proactive and detailed with my health issues. The only drawback is getting labs can be difficult. It was weeks to get a visit for a draw in office and going to quest can be hard. Quest in Ventura told me they routinely have waits of about 3-4 hours so you really need an appointment or to come at 6 am. I wish there was a UCLA diagnostic lab here but overall I'm just so glad to have good doctors and care in Ventura

I appreciated the convenience of being able to receive referrals for physiotherapy or specialists when needed through text message notifications for appointment availability. Their system of sending out text messages at appointment reminders and what they require from you was so helpful. I was told that I may not always get to see the same Dr when I go there but the two times I went I got to see Dr. Gheissari. She was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable, and took the time to really listen to my concerns. I felt heard and valued as a patient, which is a rarity in today's healthcare system. I went to a different doctor's office a couple of months ago in Camarillo and could not believe the lack of care from the doctor's support staff. Overall, I highly recommend Midtown Medical Group Ventura to anyone in need of quality medical care. The staff and physicians will treat you like a person, not a number.

It was my first time meeting her, and she truly took the time to listen to my concerns instead of rushing me through the appointment. She was very thorough, explained everything clearly, and made sure all of my questions were answered. I felt like she genuinely cared and provided the treatment I needed. I also really appreciate that when you call the office, a real person answers the phone instead of an automated system. That is such a refreshing change when you need help and actually want to speak to someone. Most of the time they answer on the first ring. I highly recommend Dr. Becky Wade and her office!

I have NEVER been D3 deficient and started taking calcium with D3 in it in when 50 years old as Dexa scan said a bit of osteopenia which has changed little in 25 years. We simply answered Dr Williams questions and I asked her to check my husband's hearing. The scribe and Billing Mgr will write in anything they can (true or not) to charge you extra!

We will be changing doctors asap and refuse to pay extra fees for routine exams and to answer questions. We are healthy, exercise, eat right, and NOT overweight. We reported them to Aetna FRAUD dept!

Dr Williams told me that because my daughter liked to spit out food it was "her flavor of autism"…read moreit was the first time she had ever met her and my daughter was 18 months old. My son is autistic. So therefor the assumption was made that obviously my daughter was too. Clearly she needs to go back to med school and learn diagnosis for autism does not take place until at minimum of age 3. Disgusting. This office also lacks competence to file simple paperwork with insurance, send prescriptions and just function in general. They require multiple phone calls to and half the time I need to explain to them what needs to be done and then call insurance for them.

Always available to talk about new research, treatments, etc. (within reason) Pen &paper to take notes. 4) Bring in your home medications/vitamins to visits. (Best time to ask for refills, dose changes, etc) 5) Get a personal planner: write down your daily health results such as Vitals, BP, BG, weight changes and food diary! Providers will greatly appreciate it. 6) Many vaccines are now available at your Local pharmacies. Also, some noncontrolled meds are able to be sent via mail delivery 7) Ask about Preventative Screening: Colonoscopy, Mammo, Dexa Bone scan, PAP, Cholesterol, Hearing, Vision, Dental, PSA, Vaccines, Mental Health, PrEP, and more (Varies w/ age) 8) Check in a couple of minutes early just incase you have to fill out new company (Dignity Health) paperwork. 9) Remember we're a team if something is not working after giving it a try for weeks (without adverse reactions) instead of abruptly stopping contact the office for an alternative. 10) Please be patient with staff Starting June 22' they began using a brand new computer system.

From my initial phone call when I made my appointment with Identity Medical Group, I felt…read morecomfortable and the appointment date was within a month, so I decided to move forward and book my new patient exam. Dr. Robert (Bob) Dodge's office is located in the 5-story building across the street from Community Memorial Hospital in mid-town Ventura. There is a 3 story parking structure below the building that offers free parking. Dr. Dodge's office is located in unit 502. There's 2 doors then enter into the office. Day of my New Patient Exam, 2/29 @1000: I arrive at 0950 and sign-in on a sheet. At the front desk sat, Rosie-one of the receptionist who was not very warm and welcoming. After about 10 minutes Nicole, got me registered me into the system and collected my co-pay. Within 5 minutes I was called back by Hannah, who I'm assuming is the MA, which proceeded in taking my temp, weight and vitals-she also performed pre-appt questions to get a better gage for my visit. She then walked me to the exam room where I waited another 5-10 minutes for Dr. Dodge. My first impression of Dr. Dodge is that he is very warm and welcoming. He has great energy and displays true concern about your care. He actively listens as you voice your concerns and reiterates back to you. I like that he was consistent in asking if I had any questions, to make sure I understood his recommendations. The overall physical/assessment appointment was about 30 minutes, and then I was done. I would highly recommend Dr. Dodge to anyone looking for a new primary care physician.
