Dr Carlson has been my PCP for over 6 years and I just love her. Her staff is so nice and…read moreefficient. Dr Carlson takes a very personal approach with her care, where she almost feels like a family member because she wants to know about how you feel and what you've been up to since she saw you last to ensure she can offer real advice that will apply to you, not a textbook stock response. She really listens when you're describing symptoms or ailments and takes notes in your chart as you converse. She offers options, never hesitates to suggests further testing yet doesn't order unnecessary labs or tests either. If your schedule is flexible, you can often get a same or next day appt. To give you an idea of how wonderful she is, I drive 30+ miles to see her and there are plenty of options much closer to home.

I want to start by separating the quality of the medical professionals I have encountered from my…read moreexperience with Mangrove Medical as an organization. The doctor I work with is incredibly knowledgeable, as have been the medical assistants and nurses I've encountered. My criticism is not directed at them. My problem is with the administrative practices surrounding that care. The waiting room is routinely crowded, and the practice operates at an obviously high volume. Despite that, Mangrove imposes an extraordinarily high cancellation fee on patients. I receive medical care in Sacramento and the Bay Area, including through specialty practices, and I have not encountered cancellation fees comparable to what Mangrove charges. That policy is particularly galling given Mangrove's own relationship with appointment times. I have been seeing my provider for more than a year, and by my estimate, they run about 30 minutes behind on average. Yet after waiting, my appointments frequently feel rushed. I rarely spend more than 10 minutes with my provider. Waiting half an hour or more only to feel hurried through the few minutes I actually receive with my doctor is neither attentive care nor respectful of a patient's time. My experiences trying to address these delays with the front desk have been similarly frustrating. Communication about delays and their impact on patients has been consistently poor and, at times, dismissive. The result is an unpleasant double standard: patients are expected to arrive on time, accommodate Mangrove's chronic delays, accept brief appointments when we are finally seen, and pay an exorbitant fee if we cannot meet their cancellation requirements. Mangrove does not appear to hold itself to anything approaching the same standard. For patients with limited options for primary care, there is also little practical ability to simply take our business elsewhere. That makes these policies and practices even more frustrating. I wish the administrative side of Mangrove reflected the knowledge and professionalism I have experienced from the medical staff themselves. After more than a year as a patient, the disparity between the two has become impossible to overlook.

Dr. Stark is thorough, and asks detailed questions.

She's had some serious back-office problems over the past year or so. I'm not privy to the inner workings but I surmise the difficulty has something to do with the departure of her office mates who are also, I believe, her landlords. In this context, I'm inclined to take those previous two reviews at face value. There are serious issues here and they need to be addressed. In any event, I dare to surmise that things are indeed getting better, I certainly hope so, for my own sake and also because it would be a shame to let operational problems get in the way of the potential of a fine professional.

Not only does that seem unfair to me, it makes no sense. If you can't ask questions, or get answers, then it's probably best to seek a different provider. That's a really sad state of affairs.
