I can't recommend UC Davis Health due to repeated delays, heavy bureaucracy, and the high…read moreout-of-pocket costs involved in getting timely care. I'm a patient of the cardiac electrophysiology/cath lab. This spring, I had a loop monitor implanted under my skin to track my heart rhythm. It was a straightforward procedure that took about 10 minutes--albeit surprisingly costly as I received a $3K bill after insurance. By fall, my condition had improved and I no longer needed the device. My physician ordered the removal in October. I was told the EP lab would contact me within a couple of weeks to schedule the procedure, but no one reached out. In November and December, I called at least five times to schedule this simple removal. Each time, I was told the nurse responsible for scheduling was in a meeting or out of the office, and that someone would call me back the next day. No one ever did. Because of these unexplained scheduling delays, the procedure will not be completed before the end of the year. My insurance resets at year-end, which means these delays will likely cost me several thousand dollars in additional, unavoidable out-of-pocket expenses. Two weeks ago, I contacted Patient Relations for help. I explained that scheduling the removal before year-end would save me thousands, and asked them to either fit me in for this quick procedure or confirm I wouldn't be personally charged since the hospital's delays pushed the procedure past the 2025 cutoff. I still haven't received a call back. The clinical staff at UC Davis have been professional and knowledgeable, and I have no complaints about the quality of care. But the administrative bureaucracy and lack of follow-through make accessing that care difficult and (in my case) unreasonably costly.

What a joke. I recently had a tilt test here. From start to finish the it was the most…read moreunprofessional test I have ever had. First they admit you for a 20 minute test. Cha-Ching. They are all about the money. I was given an IV. After 2 tries, I had to ask for a new nurse because she blew through 2 veins. Mind you I have given blood over 50 times without that ever happening. She blames it on the antiquated needles they use. Then comes the test. They strap me to a table. Put a blood pressure cuff on my left arm. I ask for a bigger cuff, nurse says no, big one is broken. What I'm in a hospital. Then put another hand cuff on right hand. Which throughout the whole test was not working. Tech fooling with it the whole test. The nurse was shopping for houses on Zillow during the whole test. Every 5 minutes she got up and took my blood pressure which probably wasn't correct anyway. My blood pressure spiked during test as she frantically texts doctor. Test is over everything normal, yeah right. Then the kicker, look at the notes. Dr. Fan says he personally examined me and was present during the whole test. Never met this doctor so more money for UC Davis. I will be filing for a grievance. I will not ever go back to UC Davis again. I have had horrible care for 4 years. Thank goodness I have a new insurance so I can go to Sutter.

Thank you Melody A. for your kindness, professionalism and caring personality that you showed me…read moreas you checked me in for my annual appointment at, Sacramento Heart & Vascular Medical Associates, 500 University Ave. Sacramento, CA.

I hope management takes notice with a performance review of their own, that will help you promote within the future. It's employees like yourself that Health Care facilities go out of their way to employ.

Because of my lack of good insurance I'm used to being treated as a second class citizen. But here they are so friendly and during the tests they explain everything. They were companionate every step of the way. The tests were scary for me, but they put me at ease. The place is beautiful and clean. Very comfortable. I recommend this place whole heartedly! The best people to put your life into!

After I got home from my Echo appointment, I remembered I forgot to bring with me my current results of my blood work for my file and for the doctor to review. I called the office when I got home and asked if I could mail the results in, but was informed that I had to bring them in to be scanned. I informed the person that the blood work was done at the 30th & Q Street Quest Lab, and asked if they were able to obtain the results from Quest. I was, again, informed I had to bring them in to the office to be scanned. Today, I personally brought the results of my blood work into the office and explained I was told over the phone to bring in the results so they could get scanned The person at the front desk stated she had to check with the doctor's assistant. When she returned she informed me I didn't need to bring in the results because they were already in the system. When she was telling me that, she made me feel like I was bothering her and that she was annoyed with me. I was only doing what I was instructed on the phone to do.

5 stars for the dr. But 3 stars for the office staff…read more Dr. O'Neil is awesome very knowledgeable and always makes me feel like he cares and wants me to feel better. However the office staff are often frazzled and unorganized. Probably because they have to work super hard with lots of competing priorities. But nonetheless, patients shouldn't have to wait on hold for 5 minutes, should be called to remind about appointments. Last time I called to check my appt., the girl said I had no appt. When I questioned her about it she transferred me to another person who said I did have an appt. Which is it.

We have been coming to this office with my two year old and my now one year old (mainly because Dr. Katz is probably one of the BEST PEDIATRICIANS ) She actually listened (which is rare and appreciated when you're a stressed parent running on toddler time and zero sleep). What really impressed me was how quickly she took action. Not only did she understand the urgency, but she resolved the issue the very same day. SAME DAY! That alone deserves five stars and a standing ovation. She was professional, compassionate, and efficient all at once. Instead of making me jump through a million hoops, she handled everything smoothly and kept me updated, which took so much stress off my shoulders. Her support turned what could have been a frustrating situation into a completely positive experience. Truly grateful for her help, her kindness, and her quick problem-solving. Melissa if you see this, you go girl ! And thank you once again!

If you are looking for a honest professional DR then look no further. She is the best DR I have…read moreever had and I have been through alot of DR's through out the years. She's a old school dr that dont use all those fancy high tech machines that sometimes takes a few trys to get it to work but uses the more traditional stuff and that tells me she knows what shes doing. The wait time is 10-15 min but sometimes she takes a bit longer and will let you know. But thats because she takes time with her patients and listens to any concerns one may have. Unlike other dr's that rushes you out the door to get to the next patient. She cares about her patients and if she tells you what to do and you dont follow her advice she will give you a very good lecture just like your mother would and thats why she is awesome. I see her as a mother rather than a dr cause she cares about her patients sometimes more than herself. Ive called her numerous occasions when I have a question or some concerns out of her normal business hour and she wouldnt hesitate to take your call. Now tell me how many Dr's would actually do that. If your insurance takes her than I would highly recommend her if your looking for a honest caring provider.
