I wish to report my experience with Dr. Patrick Fowler in Redding, CA Mid December 2012. When…read morebrought to Mercy Hospital ER, I was feverish and in 10+ pain with an abscessed Kidney. The ER staff called all the local urologists, and only Dr. Fowler was willing to help me. He explained my need for immediate placement of a stent, IV antibiotic and pain management. Later, he treated my stone with lithotripsy; it was painless and the stone fragments completely and uneventfully drained away. Dr. Fowler is a serious, no-nonsense practitioner who answered my questions and told me what to expect. After that late night surgery-stent placement, he found my daughter, reassured her that I was in good hands, and urged her to go home and get some rest. After the lithotripsy, he sought my wife in the waiting room and took all the time needed to tell her how the lithotripsy went, answered her questions, and kindly reassured her. His private office staff also treated me well, especially his surgery scheduler Shawna and surgical assistant Shonna. Never had to wait more than 10 minutes from appointment time. I am most grateful for my family members and me (a forgetful 83 year old, American Indian elder, on Medicare) to have received competent and respectful treatment by Dr. Fowler and by the staff members of Mercy Hospital, and Dr. Fowler's private office.

I would have given a rating of zero, but one star is the minimum allowed…read more My personal doctor sent Dr. Stratte a referral because I am having internal bleeding and abdominal pain. But, my doctor said not to get my hopes up about getting an appointment with Dr. Stratte, as Dr. Stratte and his fellow urologist at Redding Urologic Associates are very selective in who they will see. My doctor said they even refused to see a patient that was suffering from pancreatic cancer. How right my doctor was. On the Redding Urologic Associates website they claim they will respond within two weeks after receiving a referral. I waited for three weeks with no response, so I called their office. My telephone call got me connected to their answering machine. The machine said to leave a message and a response would happen within two business days. I waited three days, but there was no return call. So, I called again, and had to leave another message. Again after three days there was no response. Finally, one month after my referral, I went to their office and spoke with the receptionist. She said that Dr. Stratte had reviewed my referral and decided to decline to see me--three weeks after receiving the referral. They did not even have the common courtesy of calling me to inform me of the doctor's decision. My recommendation would be to skip Dr. Stratte and the Redding Urologic Associates. Do your own research to find a urologist in another city that will accept new patients. Have your personal doctor send a referral to that doctor. Request in the referral a telephone call from the urologist's office A.S.P. as to whether they will take you on.

After having the second catheter inserted there was burning pain & told him he didn't know what to tell him, he'd have to keep it in for 2 weeks cause he was on vacation the next week & if he Dr. said if he had a problem go see his regular Dr., which we did.

This Five Star Review is for NP Lisa Monroe and Doctor Tolin Sullivan. These providers are really…read moretop of the line. Lisa has helped me and my family through many medical and mental health issues. Lisa is Compassionate, Understanding, thorough, intelligent and trustworthy. I have never had a provider I trust as I do Lisa Monroe. Dr Sullivan is Professional, intelligent and through and a incredible asset to the practice and has been my families primary care provider for over five years. The office itself is full of kind staff, the MAs especially Lisa's and Dr Sullivans are outstanding and the front office is also very sweet and helpful. The only complaint I have is since Covid and staffing issues I have called multiple times with no return calls. I know this is out of their hands but can be very frustrating.

Another stellar job today. My deaf brother was seen at the ER about three weeks ago and was…read morereleased with bronchitis. They double checked that he had no pericardial effusion with the CT scan, and after antibiotics, he still had a lingering cough three weeks later, so we went back in. Professional, competent, kind, thorough... intake staff, nurses, and "Dr. Tom." Were able to rest easy knowing things are not getting worse with the multiple tests. And he came home with a set of medications that are going to help ease his pain, which is the best thing we can do right now for sure. This is probably our third or fourth visit to the hospital over the last five months. And this performance by the staff has been consistent. Making these testimonials easy to write. What baffles me are the extremely negative comments others have left about the staff. I know my three or four experiences are anecdotal, but I've had different staff and different doctors every single time, and geez, just a great group of people from our perspective.
