Doctor Herrod saved my mother's life. IMHO, he's one of the best doctors in our nation…read more The only reason that he's not my doctor is that his receptionist informed me that he refuses to see patients in pain management. The funny thing is, she turned away my daughter who was new to the area because she *suspected* that she wanted pain management. (My daughter has a ruptured disc in her lower back and did need a referral to a surgeon, but she was really just looking for a GP to take care of the day-to-day stuff. You know. The occasional sinus infection. Keeping an eye on cholesterol, dietary advice, running tests for any weird stuff that pops up. Normal GP things.) If that weren't the case, there'd be no other doctor for me. Breaks my heart that I can't have a great GP for hormonal issues because I also broke my back as a child. My broken back is fixed. I have a doctor who treats my pain, so that's not an issue that the GP has to deal with. Hardly seems fair.

Ms. Lintner retired in January then he started seeing Dr. Patel. The office staff has always been difficult, but lately it became unbearable. They never respond to messages left on the answering machine. The pharmacy never gets a response when a refill request is sent to the office. It doesn't matter whether it is faxed in or called in. We managed to deal with it until D. Patel started giving my husband dangerous advise, then we got him a new primary care doctor.

After moving to Sierra Vista, despite poor reviews, I chose the Optima Medical clinic on Lenzner as…read moremy healthcare provider, aware that according to a multitude of reviews, there is no medical clinic in Sierra Vista according to Yelp that gets high marks. At the initial visit I shared that I have a problem with my heart, which is controlled with medications. The PA agreed to provide refills for those medications but asked me to make an appointment with a cardiologist which I did. The PA also told me that it might be several months before I would be able to see a cardiologist, and she was right. The appointment is three months in the future. The PA initially wrote new prescriptions for the cardiac meds, but then without warning or attempting to notify me, the PA refused further refills for these critical meds. I have been rationing the flecainide over the last week but I have now run out completely. I have also had a huge problem with the young, minimally trained front office staff. They have been cryptic, cold, and uncooperative on the phone, and have hung up on me, which largely contributes to my problems with the clinic. I am virtually homebound and initially chose Walgreens as my pharmacy because Walgreens claims online that they can deliver medication's by mail. Unfortunately the Walgreens in Sierra Vista couldn't figure out how to do that so I switched to OptumRx (not associated with Optima Medical), an online pharmacy that I had used in the past and was very pleased with. The staff at the Lenzner Optima clinic couldn't figure out how to fax medication refills to OptumRx. The associate at OptumRx and myself, repeatedly provided the correct fax number to the clinic staff but they would not use it, claiming they had the correct fax number and would only use that one (which was in fact not the correct fax number). I finally gave up and switched to the local Walmart pharmacy thinking this would simpler for them. So now they are sending refills to the Walmart pharmacy except for the critical meds I need to stay out of the ER or hospital.

I called several offices to make an appointment ,to no avail . I was surprised when the Doctor was able to see me . The front desk lady was very polite and assured me that the Doctor would be to see me on a very short notice. Wow. finally after two years I am getting a complete physical.

Dr. Patel is wonderful. He not only takes all the time I need, he actually listens and acts on what I need. Then there is the added bonus of a testing lab right next door.

It is excellent for making appointments and answering questions and concerns in a very timely manner. They put the Family part into practice.

Thankfully my brother was airlifted to Tucson & treated by the amazing neurology & ICU staff at UMC. Following that hospitalization, the neurologist was insistent that my brother be seen by a local doctor the following day & his health be monitored closely. Sadly, another family care practice nearby were rude, disrespectful & uncaring with my family. (Please see my lengthy review on Yelp for details.) Our parents encouraged us to see their provider, Dr. Patel, at New Era Family Practice. I wish we had taken their advice sooner. The entire staff at New Era is very helpful & caring. Unlike my previous family practice experience, New Era was willing to see me & my brother at the same time, as I was my brother's primary caregiver. They did all this without hassle & were very efficient with returning my brother's original blood pressure log, something the other clinic took. The scheduling is always easy. Front desk clerk Rosa is a model of efficiency, quickly processing payments & insurance matters. They have been willing to see me the same day for urgent issues, typically within the hour, or seeing me around my work schedule. Dr. Patel is very approachable & quite fun during appointments. He knows my family well & always asks about my brother, mom & dad at each visit. He works off a tablet, listens to my concerns & makes diagnoses in quick, but well informed fashion. If a prescription is needed, he will ask what pharmacy I want the Rx sent to & forward directly from his tablet. Due to the office efficiency, I can typically pick up any prescriptions immediately following my appointment at the local Walmart. I appreciate that Dr. Patel provides sound medical advice without being "preachy" or judgemental. He's been willing to complete letters to employers without hassle & in quick order. Hands down, THE best provider I've had in my 46 years on this planet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
