Dr. Samer Shihabi, MD, is a very knowledgeable doctor who is attentive to patient needs. I am…read morehighly impressed by how quickly he reviews results and gets back to me for scheduling of appointments. Normally, with other doctors, I have to fight tooth and nail to get an appointment, but my experience with his office is that they are proactive in ensuring patient needs are met by reaching out to you to make sure you get the appointments you need. He also writes detailed patient notes and is thorough in his health evaluations. He doesn't rush appointments. He listens to you and takes as long as needed to make sure your appointment is addressing your needs and/or concerns. I feel confident in his abilities to accurately diagnose patients and to make sure all possible avenues are explored before reaching conclusions. I highly recommend Dr. Shihabi as a doctor. It's rare to find a doctor who actually is responsive and caring.

A true Hero, My dad was diagnosed with a very big Aortic…read moreAneurysm in his abdomen. He was then taken to DMC hospital in Modesto, CA. Surgeon recommended due to the size and location of AAA the only way to fix is to cut him open. My dad was scheduled to have surgery on 8/20/2020 at 10am. My family and I were in extense fear due to my dad's age and wellbeing. But miracle happened, the day of the surgery we were highly recommended to contact Dr. Brian Park at Sutter General hospital in Sacramento by very well skilled interventional radiologist Dr. Ahmadi. I spoke with Dr. Park at 8:30am the day of my dad's surgery. He asked me three simple general questions. He told me with confidence that he can place a stent and avoid having dad to undergo a brutal surgery. I immediately called DMC hospital and cancelled dad's surgery which was going to happen in 30 minutes. Dr. Park took the full responsibility of making all the necessary arrangements and phone calls to transfer my dad to Sutter General Hospital in a timely manner knowing of my dads serious illness. I was impressed by how quickly my dad was picked up and arrived in hospital in Dr. Park's safe hands. The next morning on 8/21/2020, Dr. Park performed a very successfull and yet very intense case by placing stent and fixing a massive aneurysm. My dad went to recovery room and will come home shortly. I would like to take a moment to recognize a true hero Dr. Brian Park who went above and beyond to save my dad's life. Your kindness, sincere caring, concern, compassionate attention and professional care made a huge difference. They are not enough words for me and my family to express our appreciation. I admire you Dr. Park for your commitment and excellent care to my dad and to all of those patients and families who you touch every day. Thank you for giving my dad his life back. You are truly a lifesaver! Forever grateful, Nardin Reihan

Dr. Draeger has been my doctor for over 20 years. When I listen to stories about other people's…read moredoctor's offices and what they go through to get certain tests ordered, I am eternally grateful I am with Dr. Draeger. Isabelle is Dr. Draeger's PA, again she goes above and beyond at every appointment. Nona the medical assistant who is so real and good at what she does to Sindy and Genie who know who you are when you call. No matter how busy they make time for me. At the end of the day I'm not left wondering if they did what i needed done. I either have been made an appointment that fits my schedule, or I have the refill or prescription I called about that day. Every time I think about Dr. Draeger's office I feel blessed. I also think I am smart for knowing who is the best. Sheri Foreman

Dr. Nicholas really really impressed me! Although he is not my primary care physician, I would…read moreselect him as one in a heartbeat. I saw him as he was available and I had a cyst that needed attention. He has a fantastic bed side manor, sprinkled with humor and an upbeat personality. He fully explained what the treatment plan to address my problem, made sure I agreed and was fully on board and made quick work of a minor surgical procedure. I felt well cared for and definitely felt better when I left than when I walked in. I think Dignity made another great choice selecting a great doctor in hiring Dr. Nicholas!

He asked if I had a religious belief and I said yes, Christian then he asked if he could pray with me. In those couple of moments, he expressed Human Kindness that is above what I have seen in a doctor, not to mention in society. I doubt he will ever understand how much I needed that or how much it meant. I hope Mercy Medical recognizes the importance of his actions and caring ways. Dr Nicholas has been my primary dr for over 10 years. Super responsive and either a great memory or great notes. Either way he makes you feel like you are an important patient.
