I lived for years with high blood pressure that no one seemed able to control. Doctor after doctor…read moretried, but as time went on, the damage kept building--my kidneys, my heart, even my vision were affected. It was frightening to feel my body slipping in ways no one could fix, especially throughout my 40s and 50s. Eventually, I knew I needed someone who would truly listen, so I searched for a new primary physician. That's when I found Dr. Swami. He changed my life. He didn't rush through appointments or give me the same generic answers I'd heard before. He took the time to figure out what my body actually needed. It wasn't easy--we went through several medications --but he never gave up on me. And slowly, the right combination worked. That kind of dedication is rare. A doctor who genuinely cares, who fights for your health the way you wish every doctor would. Sadly, they're not easy to find--but I'm grateful every day that I found one. I highly recommend Dr Swami.

It was my first time meeting her, and she truly took the time to listen to my concerns instead of rushing me through the appointment.

I also really appreciate that when you call the office, a real person answers the phone instead of an automated system. That is such a refreshing change when you need help and actually want to speak to someone. Most of the time they answer on the first ring. I highly recommend Dr. Becky Wade and her office!

Billing dept mgr and scribe says my spouse has low back pain. He takes an occasional Advil after riding over 40 miles on his bicycle and up in the mountains at 76 yr old. Dr Williams asked me if I took calcium/D3. I have NEVER been D3 deficient and started taking calcium with D3 in it in when 50 years old as Dexa scan said a bit of osteopenia which has changed little in 25 years. We simply answered Dr Williams questions and I asked her to check my husband's hearing. The scribe and Billing Mgr will write in anything they can (true or not) to charge you extra! It was all routine exam, eyes, ear, throat heart, lung, and breast exam for me. No internal exams. We will be changing doctors asap and refuse to pay extra fees for routine exams and to answer questions. We are healthy, exercise, eat right, and NOT overweight. We reported them to Aetna FRAUD dept! I notified Dr Williams. She will be retiring in 2 years she told me. AVOID THIS GROUP with offices located in Ventura and Oxnard. This is the first time they started UPCHARGING despite going there for several years for our physicals/wellness visit!

I was a new patient of Dr. Rob Warwar for the first time after about 10 years without seeing an MD…read more I went in with complaints of backpain. Dr. warwar treated the immediate problem with cortizone as well as ordered xray imaging and physical therapy. During the initial visit, Dr. Warwar became concerned with my thyroid and the way that is was protruding from my neck. I had had a lump there since the last time I saw an MD and they said it was fine, so I forgot about it. With no symptoms, Dr. Warwar still decided I needed a biopsy after an Xray showed multiple growths. Turns out after following up with recommended Endocrinologist Dr. Westhoff I was diagnosed with Papillary thyroid cancer at 27 years old. With an early diagnosis I am able to remove the thyroid without much complication in the future other than a pill daily. Without Dr. Warwar, I truly believe this is something I would have not immediately, if ever, be worried about or even conscious of. Not only being my first consult with him, but with having a whole different issue bring me in, I am just impressed and more than grateful for what was potentially a life saving call. I will recommend Dr. Warwar to anyone I meet and continue to share this story because health CARE is so hard to come by now a days.

Dr. Datlow practices medicine as it used to be, before the days of HMOs and managed care. If you want personalized care by someone who will take the time to listen and discuss any health issues you bring to him, you couldn't do better. His office staff are pleasant and helpful. His office is centrally located in midtown Ventura.

Always available to talk about new research, treatments, etc. (within reason) Pen &paper to take notes. 4) Bring in your home medications/vitamins to visits. (Best time to ask for refills, dose changes, etc) 5) Get a personal planner: write down your daily health results such as Vitals, BP, BG, weight changes and food diary! Providers will greatly appreciate it. 6) Many vaccines are now available at your Local pharmacies. Also, some noncontrolled meds are able to be sent via mail delivery 7) Ask about Preventative Screening: Colonoscopy, Mammo, Dexa Bone scan, PAP, Cholesterol, Hearing, Vision, Dental, PSA, Vaccines, Mental Health, PrEP, and more (Varies w/ age) 8) Check in a couple of minutes early just incase you have to fill out new company (Dignity Health) paperwork. 9) Remember we're a team if something is not working after giving it a try for weeks (without adverse reactions) instead of abruptly stopping contact the office for an alternative. 10) Please be patient with staff Starting June 22' they began using a brand new computer system.

From my initial phone call when I made my appointment with Identity Medical Group, I felt…read morecomfortable and the appointment date was within a month, so I decided to move forward and book my new patient exam. Dr. Robert (Bob) Dodge's office is located in the 5-story building across the street from Community Memorial Hospital in mid-town Ventura. There is a 3 story parking structure below the building that offers free parking. Dr. Dodge's office is located in unit 502. There's 2 doors then enter into the office. Day of my New Patient Exam, 2/29 @1000: I arrive at 0950 and sign-in on a sheet. At the front desk sat, Rosie-one of the receptionist who was not very warm and welcoming. After about 10 minutes Nicole, got me registered me into the system and collected my co-pay. Within 5 minutes I was called back by Hannah, who I'm assuming is the MA, which proceeded in taking my temp, weight and vitals-she also performed pre-appt questions to get a better gage for my visit. She then walked me to the exam room where I waited another 5-10 minutes for Dr. Dodge. My first impression of Dr. Dodge is that he is very warm and welcoming. He has great energy and displays true concern about your care. He actively listens as you voice your concerns and reiterates back to you. I like that he was consistent in asking if I had any questions, to make sure I understood his recommendations. The overall physical/assessment appointment was about 30 minutes, and then I was done. I would highly recommend Dr. Dodge to anyone looking for a new primary care physician. I'm happy to have finally found a primary care physician that actually cares and who is quite knowledgeable about anything and everything from internal and family medicine!
