I have reviewed this doctor on yelp before, but it was for the location in Simi Valley... I added…read morethis as a new business because this office location is where I have my appointments with Dr. Makhlouf and I'm so grateful he sees patients at the Oxnard location! Easy to find and plenty of parking... The gals at front desk are always so sweet as well as the rest of the staff. Dr. Makhlouf is a very nice doctor who takes his time with me, doesn't make me feel rushed or like he doesn't really care and wants to move on to the next patient and I truly appreciate that! He has helped me so much! I have seen other rheumatologists in the past, trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with me and these others basically brushed me off making me feel unimportant, like they didn't have time for me nor were they able to diagnose me. I am confident the reason is because they refused to take their time with me. Listen to me and look closely at my labs and the simple fibromyalgia test would've been helpful! Dr. Makhlouf knew right away it was fibromyalgia based on my labs and my symptoms. He told me that he had several fibromyalgia, patients taking low-dose naltrexone and receiving excellent results so I gave it a try and yes, it has made a huge difference, and I noticed relief after just a few weeks on it. I also have found that changing my eating habits/diet has been extremely helpful as well. I like that he is a Doctor who recognizes that this too is effective and encourages me as I continue under his care. So many women suffer with fibromyalgia and are not finding relief! I feel very fortunate to have found this doctor! I highly recommend giving him a try, no matter what your issues are. I'm pretty sure he will figure it out!

This review is specifically for my personal experience with Alexis Murray P.A. & Astrid…read more We have been going to Primary Medical in Oxnard for a short period of time and my husband and I are so happy we stumbled across them. Alexis Murray is the BEST. She is very attentive, lets you fully explain yourself & your concerns, speaks to you so respectfully, doesn't gaslight you & tries to see things your way so that she can better understand you, & she respects your personal beliefs, & does not come off judgmental nor does she make you feel stupid. Lately we have been going to see Alexis Murray for my son almost once monthly. She is always so patient and detailed with us. She explains herself very well & lets us as parents feel safe enough to ask her many questions & figure out how to go about things in regard to my son's health. She also is so reassuring and makes us feel safe!!! She is a gem there. Astrid is a medical assistant there at Primary Medical and she was also very attentive with son. She made him feel very comfortable and made him laugh. When you have little kids all the little things matter & when they take the extra steps to make sure your child is comfortable it puts us as parents at ease. I, myself have also been seen by Alexis Murray & can attest to a great bedside manner. All in all, I am super happy that my whole family goes to Primary Medical in Oxnard. Give Alexis Murray a go, you will not be disappointed!!!

Walking in on a warm autumnal October at noon, I was able to easily park at this facility. I came…read more20 minutes earlier than my appointment as I anticipated paperwork. Arriving all the way from Orange County, I thought I would give the imaging centers in Ventura County a try The office was extremely easy to find being in suite 120 at the intersection of the hallways, basically the center of the building. As I opened the doors, the interior seem spacious with inviting interior decorations. I am typing this review as I sit in the waiting room. The paperwork for me took about 5 minutes to finish as it was rather straight forward. The staff seem kind when they knew immediately who I was even as I was a new patient based on my appointment time. The ultrasound technician was extremely nice and courteous, having over 15 years of experience. The ultrasound experience was efficient as can be as I was comfortable, yet he was able to take a lot of pictures both ventrally and laterally with his ultrasound wand, with the right amount of pressure without it hurting. The ultrasound gel was warm and much appreciated it. The small talk was brief and enjoyable as I remained pretty much quiet throughout the entire procedure except holding breath when he says so. Afterwards, I returned to the office where I was able to reschedule my upcoming chest xray appointment with Stephanie. She had excellent customer service and was very polite. She even let me prefill a form so I don't have to fill it on the day of. Overall, I got my results back the next day. Instantaneously. I don't know about the other reviews on here but this has been the most pleasant experience I've come across in imagining. Coming all the way from Orange County. I look forward to my next appointment! Update: Amber, the x-ray technician for my chest x-ray was extremely skilled. She helped me remove my necklace, was very courteous, polite, positive, and radiant as she took my x-ray in an efficient manner. It literally took 5 minutes. The front office staff was also in the festive spirit with Halloween attire. In conclusion, this diagnostic office is probably the best office I have ever visited in my life! (And I've been to a lot of medical offices as an EMT).

I am conflicted writing this. I will say that this place is very clean and well kept. Scheduling…read moreand customer service was fine on the phone and they were nice in person however I came and brought my father, this is where 3 stars is. The front check ins consist of 2 small sections, 1 has 2 front ladies with computers next to each other where you check in and stand up. The other small section to the right has another person with a computer and for someone to sit down if needed. However the section with 2 people you are literally standing next to another patient, me and my father were checking him in standing next to another patient as she was checking in. I attached a photo for reference. During check in, they did state they would ask a few questions, I did not think too much of it till they started asking him about his medical condition, past medical treatments, his current medications and history OUTLOUD. I got uncomfortable after a while and asked to complete it myself, why are we speaking this out loud? Is this not against HIPPA? They give patients registration forms to sign with a clip board and have them sit down... why not let your patients complete the medical questionnaire?! Why should patient standing next to us hear his current diagnosis, medication and current and past treatments especially if its super sensitive to him. My father and I noticed that after he mentioned specific words regarding his personal life, the patient to our right kept looking over. Again the answers themselves were sensitive and I don't feel my father got the privacy he deserved. After we left my father was really not happy with that and neither was I. He did NOT feel his information was private despite how many people are in the room or not, why does he have to say it outloud? If management is reading this, as a worker in the healthcare field myself... I would suggest patients answering that themselves on paper as this info is private. No matter if people stand next to each other at check in, we can hear everything here in the waiting room chairs. Other than this, I will say this place is very clean and nice and well kept.

I came to Dr. Dogde and Identity Medical Group after I was in an accident and fractured my spine…read more At 25 it was a terrifying injury for me. However, I was immediately put to ease by the professionalism and genuine care provided by Dr. Dodge and his staff, from all the amazing women at the front desk, to the nurse practitioners, and of course Dr. Dodge himself. Over the course of two months, he and his team worked patiently with me through my recovery. Hannah, his nurse practitioner, always sat with me and made me smile while we dealt with a daunting amount disability insurance paperwork. Any time the state or Lincoln reached out to the office the staff promptly replied and provided all the medical information needed so I could receive my benefits as fast as possible. Dr. Dodge was diligent in his evaluations of my injury. He took the extra time to make sure I understood my injury and what to expect through the recovery process. He made excellent physical therapy recommendations and helped me stay positive through a scary time. I'm so grateful for the care I received from this group. Because of them I made a full recovery and returned back to work without any lingering problems. Honestly, I could write about these amazing people all day. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Dodge and Identity Medical Group.

New insurance...new doctor. Sounds like fun, huh?…read more For a couple years I have been going to the Airport Urgent Care in Oxnard and had mixed experiences. When I got my new insurance I had to choose a new doctor and Dr. Alcocer with the Spanish Hills Medical group was recommended by my wife's doctor. I was a little worried when I called in mid January to make an appointment and they had to schedule me in mid February. They explained later on that one of the doctors in the group had just retired and that the other doctors had to make up for all those extra patients. They gave me a call the day before to confirm my appointment and told me to come in a few minutes early to fill out paperwork. I arrived 15 minutes early, filled out a stack of paperwork and then waited to be called. They called me in about 5 minutes later. Woah. 5 minutes...that's awesome. I had an awesome nurse who took all my vitals and got me ready for my appointment and then about 5 minutes later I was visited by Dr. Alcocer. He had an amazing demeanor. He seemed like he was not in a rush at all...he acted like he wanted to know everything about me and what he could do to help me with my regular issues like my asthma. He gave me all the prescriptions that I needed with 6 months of refills so I didn't have to worry about waiting for my pharmacy to call in for authorization. That was such a relief from my previous doctor. All in all the whole appointment took maybe 20 minutes, 30 minutes tops. I was completely impressed with the whole experience and I look forward to having the Spanish Hills Medical Group and Dr. Alcocer on my side when it comes to my health. :0)

If you are lucky enough to have John and Elizabeth as your nurses, they truly care and have concern about your well-being. They would ask the basic questions then went deep into my feelings and how I was being cared for. if I had something come up they made sure to make sure it was fixed before they left. They were also very meticulous on how they gave meds to make sure they were on time and see if one medication conflicted with the other. One BIG thing for me they DO NOT have air-conditioning. After finding this out, I was ready to leave. John and Linzy talked me into staying by going over the pros and cons of a transfer. I got a personal fan that worked perfectly for the temperature I needed to stay comfortable. Cecilia gave me my showers, I'm a big girl. I didn't think she was gonna be able to handle me, but she did it all on her own never asked for help. In the end, I was super clean no complaints. When it came to my physical therapy Andrea, Bruce,Thade, and Aldrin all pushed me to make my goals. This was not a babysitting job for them. When it comes to pain, I normally given until I hope it passes. But these guys wouldn't let me slide. They kept me on my toes. They made sure I moved every day and challenge me when I hit my mark to go a little bit more. it was like learning how to walk all over again. I love them for that. The food was OK but at the same time they told me they were going to remove all salt from my diet that's the reason I gave the score an 8 instead of a 10 because you know how food taste without salt. Until this day, I'm on a no salt diet because of them I lost some weight from it. I had somewhat of an medicine emergency and the person who stepped up was Juanni the business manager. She went out of her way to get this situation taken care of, she didn't have to take on this responsibility because this was not part of her job description. I Thank you so much Juanni that really meant a lot. As you're being pushed or you're pushing yourself in a wheelchair through the halls of Maywood acres you see nurses, social workers, janitors, and CNA's with mask on, they'll say hello to you by your name. People you never even seen before. it's like a little community. I'm thinking of the show called "CHEERS" when the guy walks in the bar and the people in the bar yell out N. O. R. M. Lol whoever's reading this may not be old enough to know what that means. Anyway All the staff are nice and catering no questions asked. The bathrooms were OK as far as cleanliness and the rooms were really clean thank you, Ray (the custodian) you did a wonderful job. The rooms and bathrooms are cleaned 1- 2 times daily. You get fed three times a day. I believe lunch and dinner you receive a dessert. if you're not full after you eat lunch or dinner you can always order something on the list. After dinner, later they have snack. This facility is 24 hours, so many times I called for an ice pack and an ice water jug around two or 3 o'clock in the morning, and during the day. They respond fast to your call light and execute the job they've been presented with, with haste. If you're ever blessed to have to come to Maywood acres, these are the people you would want to take care of you, Elizabeth, John, Linzy, Martin, Vicky, Mike, Cecilia, Nathailie, Mayra, Ray, Samantha, Juanni, Andrea, BRUCE, Thade, Jose, Aldrin and Patricia. Last, but not least LINDA. When I had a situation with a staff member, (that happened once) she reported it for me and I got a response from a higher up the very next day. I really only had one problem the rest were situations. As you can see, I like to take names and give flowers when flowers are due. She was my intake lady from the first night she looked out for me. I'm not gonna name all she did but she did a lot and was the biggest reason I love Maywood acres this lady needs a raise. After all the demands I've had I never got an attitude or pushback from any of the staff. I requested it and it was done. I really felt like I was at a resort with my knee pain on the side. Some people might think I'm over exaggerating, but I really feel that way. A Big, thank you to LINDA, John, and Elizabeth And a big thank you to Maywood acres for Understanding how to choose your employees
