    Dr Balfour was great... My son had his adenoids out and tubes put in his ears. He's doing great. Thank you doc.

    Against my better judgement I came here instead of going straight to the ER for my sinus inf I've…read morehad for over 2weeks. Showed up here & they were "open" but there was no doctor to see anyone?! I asked why they were open for customers and she says "for paperwork". The other girl piped in "for people to make appts". Oh, because someone is going to drive out there to make an appt for a walk in urgent care (do they even do that?) instead of calling? I said wow okay... off to the ER I guess. Was trying to save some $ by not going to the hospital but no other choice, my GP couldn't get me in until next week. Based on this, and the myriad of other negative reviews of terrible service & HIPAA violations I wonder 1)how this place is still open 2) what the point of having an urgent care here is if it's not available to help people due to incompetent or "unavailable" providers. ***Lastly; people that come in here & get treated poorly and/or experience breaches in HIPAA by incompetent doctors MUST REPORT THIS TO THE STATE! Also complaints can be made to the doctors governing board if there is one here. These doctors are not at the top. YELP IS NOT ENOUGH!!! Or else this will continue & nothing will change.

    Zero stars. Super curious how one applies for insurance, declares this dive bar of a health…read morepractice as my primary physician since this place's internet presence says "accepting new patients" and is confirmed by my insurance, and I was accepted, as a patient, three months ago. Fast forward to today, call to make an appointment, am told they aren't taking new patients. Hi yeah I'm already a patient, "no we aren't taking new patients." I ask how does that happen since I'm already a patient, I get "we have zero available slots." I know Amador health care sucks but goddamn this place is horrendous. Go literally anywhere else.

    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.

    Took our newborn in for a simple tongue clip. Very pleasant clean professional office. Friendly…read morereceptionist and nice nurse greeted us promptly on time. Dr Zavod eased our apprehension and had us in/out in 30min. Great experience.
