I've been a patient of Dr. Sorensen for over 15 years, and I felt it was important to share my experience because it has consistently been a positive one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Sorensen is an intelligent, compassionate physician who truly cares about his patients. He always comes into the exam room with a smile, takes time to ask how life is going, listens carefully to my concerns, and works to identify the cause of any health issues I'm experiencing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If additional testing is needed to reach a diagnosis, he doesn't hesitate to order it. I've always felt heard, respected, and well cared for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also want to recognize his current PA, Erika. She is wonderful--she listens, addresses my concerns thoroughly, and never makes me feel rushed. Every appointment I've had with her has been a positive experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As for the office staff, I can only speak from my own experience, and it has always been excellent. The front office receptionist is welcoming and professional, and the back office staff, including Pam, Melissa, and Clarissa, are consistently friendly, kind, and genuinely caring. They always greet me with a smile and make each visit pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband and our adult children have also been patients of Dr. Sorensen for many years, and we have all had positive experiences with both Dr. Sorensen and Erika. After more than 15 years as a patient, I can honestly say I'm grateful for the care I've received from Dr. Sorensen and his entire team. Thank you all for the dedication and compassion you show your patients. read more

I urge anyone reading this to find a different doctor. I do not usually write reviews, let alone negative ones, but this is the worst medical office I've ever experienced. Sorenson himself is NEVER in office. Getting an appointment with him takes weeks. I have even had words with some of his staff. They will refuse to give you your records no matter why you need them. They will change your dosage of medication without asking or consulting the doctor that originally prescribed it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]His office manager is probably the rudest woman on this earth, very condescending but refuses to show her face in the office.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are only a couple nurses/desk ladies who are genuinely attentive and kind, but sadly they do not make up for the rest, who would rather spend their time chatting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seriously, find a different GP. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you can't get in to see your doctor and you need help right away, I appreciate being able to walk in and get help, but their staff don't really know what they're doing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They tell me information that I've already researched on the Mayo Clinic and the Harvard Medical apps, and I have no idea where they get their information. But at the very least, I can get a prescription for an antibiotic or something for itching or a stye in my eye or that kind of thing there when I can't get in to see my doctor for days or weeks. So I am grateful that they're there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the woman who works at the front desk is very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is not what it used to be. I been a patient of Dr Sorensen for years and hands down he is great. My poor review is based on the Physician assistant he has working who cover some of the patients when he is not available. Every single time I've seen a PA no one has a clue of my health or labs , God forbid you need some time off. Lately every single visit no one knows anything about patient history. What happened to this place did it turn into a quantity care facility. I sure miss the the quality care. Update review from 12/2024 this place continues to fall apart. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I continue to be a patient of Dr. Sorensen because I like his service but god forbid you deal with his staff for any kind of issues.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Some of the regular medical assistant staff who don't even hold a Registered Nurse licensure try to step out their scope. What happened to this place.to add on to my low score, [[HIGHLIGHT]]if you attempt to advocate for yourself they will band you and family from the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm sure this was not the dr but it won't surprise me if it's the staff.I feel like the dr really is just waiting for retirement and unless you let him know about your history in his words, " everything looks great " lol , he has turned into a referral dr. read more

ZERO STARS. I can't place the prefix Dr. when referring to Sorensen. He prescribed meds contraindicated for the condition and upon taking the prescribed med my sister died. He can say she had a heart condition and was over weight and that's his admission to mis-prescribing a drug that would interfere with her delicate state and kill her. He needed to send her to the ER on the same day she died shortly after taking his med. She died on the same day she visited his office. My wish is she would have seen all his negative reviews. He's protected by the heath care system in place. He also signed her death certificate so fast I couldn't get the coroner to analyze her blood toxicology. I feel robbed by Sorensen. Please find a good Dr. who will take care of your loved one. read more

I wish I could give you a lower level the staff is substandered and archrarct Hanford office has a IDGOS attitude it's a job. i've only stayed because of a PA who took care of the patients, that person is gone. Now I'm on day 3 waiting for this person to call me back after they fucked up my medication. Pharmacy called me 2times regarding my medication. I callled Dr. Sorensen's office twice. First time told it was the pharmacy's issu, called the the pharmacy and was told my health provider wrote something far different than explained to me in the 9 minute, he spent with me. I waited 90 minutes for 9 minutes of his time. I'm in a wheelchair dealing with medical issues and these jokers. Still don't have my medication nor have I received a call back from this office. read more

Eric Sorensen should be reported to the medical board for malpractice. He is never ever at his Hanford office. For 2 years my husband was not able to see him. He is MIA. [[HIGHLIGHT]]His staff is the worst part of your visit. Very rude and abusive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]After making a appointment to see Sorenson himself after many many attempts,my husband after waiting weeks to get the appointment went and again he was not there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband said wait a minute I have only seen him 1x in 2 years. Why can't I see my Doctor? The whole staff surrounded my husband and told him he was talking to loud and he had to see the nurse practitioner who was very rude and controlling. All he said was I want to see a real doctor. She then refused to fill his prescription for his prostate medication. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The next day my husband received a registered letter saying You are no longer allowed in our office and you are not longer a patient here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had asked for referrals for other issues and this office never followed through with those. Dr. Sorenson has other offices for Urgent Care at Pismo Beach and Atascadero. His staff and nurses are the backbone of his practices. If you choose him as your primary care Physician you will be sorely disappointed and will have 3rd world care. read more

great doctor but horrible staff. the front desk likes to play phone tag and cancel your appointments with no warningZ if I'm sick I need my meds. I do not need this mess of a person they call a receptionis. fire her! read more

Staff is great! Minu Verma is wonderful and listens to you when you talk about how you're feeling. She understands that women of a certain age have emotional ups mad downs and will prescribe meds to improve quality of life. I've seen several staff at the office and all are caring. There's often not much time spent waiting if you have an appointment. Highly recommend. read more
