I would not recommend anyone making an appointment with this practice, if they can avoid it…read more I had to wait four months to be able to see Dr. Reeder after making my appointment. On the day of the appointment I got the times mixed up (the health problems that took me to his office cause me a lot of confusion and memory issues), so I apologized to their receptionist, who then rescheduled me five months out. However, they called me a week later and told me that Dr. Reeder will not take me as a patient now. I work in one of the only optometrists office in Redding who accepts partnership. I know that missing an appointment is not okay, especially when the doctor is needed by a lot of people. However, I also know that the doctor I work for insists we give grace to patients, especially the earnestly apologetic ones (like I was). We are willing to give second chances to our patients because we care about people's wellbeing, and know how discouraging it can be when your health is deteriorating, and the doctors that are helping you can't even attempt to emulate enough empathy to help you out. There are only two rheumatologists in town, and the second one shares this practice with Dr. Reeder. Dr. Reeder's denial to help me out after making an honest mistake shows me that he cares more about making money than making sure his patients are actually cared for. I now have family friends who have cancelled their appointments with him and decided to receive care from other doctors out of town, because they fear that they might miss an appointment as well, and have to start over at another doctor's office.

Dr. Reeder had me prescribed with a medication that worked well for me. I was finally out of pain…read moreand able to slowly get off prednisone after over a year. But, I ended up having to beg for my medication to be called in every single month. I would call and it still wouldn't have my medications called in to the pharmacy . So, I would call again. Dr. Reeder told me to use the patient portal online because his staff would forget to give him message But I could never get it to work, even after being given a new password on three occssions. Each month after getting my prednisone dosage down I would have to bring it back up to control the pain due to not having my methotrexate. I finally called today for the third time this month (it is the 21st) and am upset and in pain. I asked if every patient has to beg for their medication every month and was told "yes, it is a controlled sunstance" I am done. I don't know how I will deal with this pain but I will do it without being treated like a third rate human. I do not advise anyone who is of lower income to even bother with this office. Sadly it's the only rheumatologist in my area my insurance would cover. So there again is no help for me. But, I refuse to be treated like I'm not worth any effort because I'm not as financially well off as some others. That's exactly what I feel is the issue.

Dr. Peters and the staff at Arthritis Assoc. of Redding are tops. I have never met a more thorough…read moredoctor than Dr. Peters. I have seen many doctors in my life, and have not run across a Doctor like Dr. Peters, he is not afraid to run test after test, and is a very good detective. I feel like he truly cares about me and his staff is also very caring. I love the fact that they have their own lab onsite, so any labs are drawn onsite and processed by him and his staff. He is one of the few doctors that allows his patient to go online and look up their labs, visit notes, meds, etc. I know that Kaiser does this, but no one else in the Redding area even comes close to this level of transparency and openness. I have seen docs at UCSF and Stanford for other issues and would put Dr. Peters in the same category as the University Doctors.

Dr Peters and his staff are fantastic. I drive almost three hours so I can be seen by him. He is…read morea very caring doctor. I would recommend him and his staff to any one who needs a arthritis specialist.

They tell you everything's going to be fine and you'll be back to doing what you love but it's all a lie every surgery I've had at this hospital has been a complete disaster! Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Update on my previous review. After trying to work with the staff and my insurance company, I was…read morenot successful in resolving the issue. The doctor's response was to deny my co-pay refund, slap on a "chronic care" fee and put not just one late fee but two for their offices lack of cooperation with my insurance company. The doctor's sent a letter to me threatening to turn me into my professional board because they think I used non-public resources to send them a letter requesting my refund to their home. All you have to do is google "Home address for each doctor" and their address comes up. Fascinating that $70 was more important than a happy patient and that their intire process, staff and they are the problem. I really thought it was the gate keepers, but it is the doctor's. This is how they make their money. Causing undo stress so they can create the "chronic care" fee. Do not go here if you want to get better. The patient does not come first in this establishment and they care more about money than anything else. Off to small claims court to not only get my $70 bucks back but now the late fees.

I cannot even tell I had an injury. I walk up to 18k steps per day at times, with a daily average of between 9k to 11k depending on our projects. I'm 67 and still cruising like I'm 40. Thank you Dr Schillen and your entire staff, the entire staff in Physical Therapy led by Mr. Martin no acquaintance, I also would like to recognize the PA beautiful lady that saw me to start with when i first went to the office at Shasta Orthopedics and couldn't walk. She went running down the hall to catch the doctor as she knew he was going to be out for a week, she knew I needed emergency surgery when she viewed the MRI, sorry, I do not remember her name. she was key to my needs.

BEWARE OF DR STEPHAN AKERS!!! MEDICAL HOSTAGE…read moreMy granddaughter is being held hostage at Mercy Medical in Redding CA, in the NICU by a rogue doctor, Stephan Akers, who refuses to transfer my daughter's sick child to UC Davis and won't release her to go home. She has gotten worse since she's been in there since day 2. We are on day 19 and no answers. They have done all procedures without informed consent. Now she has an infection and they refuse to transfer my sick granddaughter to a level 4 NICU. This hospital has given us the wrong baby to watch on the NICU monitor, so we thought Isabella had a breathing tube put in. They say she has failed to thrive but she's gaining weight every day. She is past her birth weight of 7lbs 5oz. Now there is a wound on her bottom that they called in a wound care specialist for, again without consent, a feeding tube without consent. She's over 7 lbs and her vitals are perfect. This is so ridiculous. When my daughter asked if she could get a second opinion, the SWAT officer who came to kick Dad off hospital grounds told her "no."They kicked Reese, the baby's dad, off hospital property until my daughter promised to "keep him in check." My daughter hasn't got to bond with her baby and now we could lose her because he refuses to transfer her. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! I would give it a negative review because he doesn't deserve
