Neva was my doctor for 15 years before we moved out of town. This is my experience…read more PROS She spends as much time with me as needed, sometimes half an hour. She remembers some of the details of my "case," from one visit to the next. She initially saw me every three months, but offered that I only needed a diabetes follow-up every four months. So much for money-grubbing. When she discovered that I have diabetes, she called me three times in one day - I was out of town - and insisted that I come in, with my husband, as soon as I returned. In fact, on her last VM when I wasn't home, she left the information about an appointment she'd set up for me, without my even being home. She has volunteered her time with Mother Theresa in Calcutta. I do not share any part of her strong Catholic faith, but I've always had caring, personal attention from her. CONS She seems to be eager to prescribe pills and drugs, no matter what my issue is. She often gave me samples to save me money, but sometimes, it seemed that she was changing meds on me gratuitously. I read that her attitude toward some women was occasionally harsh - she refused to prescribe artificial birth control, or pain pills for C-section patients, rooted in her religious beliefs, but I never experienced that. I know women who won't go to her, in solidarity with other women. One memorable time, I waited in my exam room for an hour before sticking my head out into the corridor and finding it empty and dark. Everyone had left and forgotten about me. I went home and called in a message to tell them that the office was unlocked. I got calls at home that night from Neva and her husband, deeply apologetic. They're too busy for their own good. All in all, I like her. I think she's a good, if traditional, doctor. Were we still living in that community, she'd still be my doctor.

They do everything but say "let's be friends," yet you leave your appointment feeling that they might as well have said that, too! You may meet Reena or Ian or Dr. Vaughan himself, but you will get the same feeling from all of them- professional expertise first, with a general feeling of welcome and a listening to what you have to say. I've had two visits, and am very impressed, especially having received less than pleasant experiences elsewhere. I'm sold on these amazing people.

She left the practice recently and while I understand that people move on, I was never notified of her decision. No one let me know that I would be assigned to a new member of the team (who hasn't even started at this point). I called to have an appointment regarding something timely and was pushed out for another week and a half because of an issue with the staff. From there, they didn't even suggest the other possibilities for me to be seen sooner. I figured out ON MY OWN that I could be seen at a walk-in clinic. I needed to have some paperwork filled out but the physicians on staff cannot complete this because the person who performed my physical is no longer working there. They did try to work with me and give me an alternative but when that wouldn't work, they wanted to charge me for a second physical for the year. This is baloney, I already had a physical. It is not my fault that they are having staffing issues. I will gladfully take my medical business elsewhere. I kind of suggest you do too.

We have since called and left several messages.. finally (after we called our insurance company out of concern of no contact.. they finally connected us to the office. "Rebecca" then went on to tell my wife that they would not accept patients from "out of the network" (we are Nevada county v Placer county). This was an URGENT referral from our PRIMARY DR and they waited 5 days to tell my bedridden/surgery needing wife that she needs to go back to her primary and get another referral! My wife was crying hysterically and Rebecca hung up on her! When I called back to get her information to file an official complaint, she said it wasn't necessary and that's she "might consider asking the Doctor if he would make an exception for her" if I "stopped being upset". What kind of uncompassionate gate keeper is SHE?! To base an URGENT surgery request on my attitude toward the situation? Terrible human. I will be doing everything I can to get the word out about this office, specifically "Rebecca, last name doesn't matter". **To follow up. Rebecca saw this yelp and left a scathing review about my wife and I on my wife's Patient Portal!! Stating that we need to be spoken to about our behavior before scheduling her!! I can't believe people like her are in charge of peoples life or death! Shame. ZERO!

Ok, made an appt. Called me a day later, and said they could see me the next business day. Ok, made a 3rd appt. Showed up ON TIME this morning. They were upset I didn't have my paperwork filled out, even though they told me I could complete it upon arrival. They asked that I arrive 15 minutes early to do so. When I booked my 3rd appt, they asked if I could come at 10:15. Perhaps it was my mistake, but I assumed that was for a 10:30 appt. When I arrived, the receptionist was quite rude, and said it was "10:16" and the doctor would not see me. Are you kidding? I took the morning off of work, arranged childcare, and showed up on time to the appointment that you rescheduled 3 times in a week? Mmmmkay! My time is worth something too, people!

She didn't want to continue prescriptions I've been on for years because I have had insomnia and…read moreADHD for decades. She clearly had not read my medical intake form and was oblivious to the fact that I have a lot on my plate as someone recently diagnosed with cancer, who just moved back to California, and who was living about an hour away from a sizeable town. She would not do one month bridge prescriptions for me to get established with the doctor's office she recommended I contact (who was out of network for me anyway.) Running out of your ADHD meds that you need to work, when you're an hour away from a pharmacy and you scheduled your appointments in advance because you were relocating to a new state, is not fun. The drug testing she required before I saw her felt punitive too. Nothing came back positive on it, though if she thinks I'm "too complex" because I have insomnia and ADHD, I can't imagine what she would be like to deal with for people who have a positive drug test. She was not only unhelpful, she actively wasted my time and money, and added more stress and headache onto my plate when I have enough of that with cancer.
