Dr. Stephan Sweet is more than just a great doctor.... DR. SWEET IS A MIRACLE DOCTOR! For a small…read moreback story of myself, I am 26 years old, I don't play any sports, I work and I go to school. I have had floating knee caps for approximately 5 years. They would flair up and I would wear knee braces on both knees and after a few weeks they would calm down. I could play with my knees and pop them in and out. It was always very painful. Over the 5 years I had been to approximately 8 Orthopedic doctors. One doctor gave me a medication I was allergic to, then told me I was to complicated and that he could not deal with me and left. A few others could not get my name correct when they walked into the room and there after so lost my trust. Then there was the one in UCLA who wanted to "saw off" part of my knee bone and replace it with cartilage. Then two weeks later decided I just needed physical therapy and did not need me as a patient anymore. I never just needed physical therapy. So instead of going towards UCLA I went the other direction.... I found a doctor who was willing to a "Lateral Release." some injections into my knees for the pain. Plus he got my name right. I then had my knee fill up with fluid twice... This is where I thought I was not having the right communication with that doctor. I felt helpless again. FINALLY I FOUND DOCTOR STEPHEN SWEET!!!! I called and I believe I had an appointment for the next day! I brought any and all paperwork I had for him. I even brought some candy for him. (he liked that) Out of all the other doctors I had been through, Dr. Sweet listened to EVERY descriptive word I had to give. He truly listened to what I was saying. He wanted to take X-Rays of my hips incase something was missed (EXCELLENT IDEA) nothing showed but it was an attempt to solve my problem. Because I had surgery on one knee, he was willing to take me on as a patient and continue my care. I WAS SO HAPPY! Then a few weeks later I felt like I was regressing, and that my knee was filling up with fluid again. I got an appointment for that same day! The staff is so amazing and accommodating. He came right in and I showed him where I thought the fluid was. He agreed with me that there was some fluid but there was not enough to take out. After explaining why it made since. I did not feel dismissed or rejected at all by him. I actually felt validated for something that I was feeling. Dr. Sweet is truly an amazing doctor, he has a passion for caring about every patient that he sees because of how much time he spends with each and every one. He understands that you are in pain and wants to find the best course to fixing it. The staff bends over backwards into helping as well. Well a year later and I started having carpal tunnel in both my hands. I knew I was going to go straight to Dr. Sweet. Amazingly he remembered me. He came in with a smile on his face and eager to help me. When I went to see him I was on the breaking point of tears. But I knew if anyone could help me, it would be him. I needed something to happen or I truly thought I was going to lose my job. He lisened to everything I said about both my hands. He needed 1 test to confirm that it was carpal tunnel. After that, he said that he would perform surgery on my hands. He started with the left one... I am left handed so I was nervous starting off with my dominant hand. But I trusted Dr. Sweet. So the day of surgery he made me feel comfortable and answered questions and was very positive about it. About 2 days after surgery I could feel my fingers. (Could not feel them for 5 months.). I was so excited and happy that I could see a difference so quickly. The day my stitches were removed I could make a fist and I had feeling through my whole hand. I was so happy. Then about 2 weeks ago I had my right hand done. Literally the next day after surgery I could feel my fingers. I could kind of feel my hand but it was wrapped up. I just got my stitches out today and I feel all my fingers and my hand. I am so confident in what Dr. Sweet did. I know that when I go back to work in a few weeks I will be ready. I quickly could tell a difference by what he did. He is truly a very caring, kind, optimistic, extraordinary, inspiring, friendly, fabulous, positive, genuinely talented Doctor. I don't think that there is any doctor better than him. Thank you Dr. Sweet for changing my life in so many ways!

During the first 10 months, it felt like a revolving door, as each doctor I had an encounter with abruptly exited to work elsewhere. Fast forward to 2026: I've had the same primary care physician (a D.O.) for over 9 years. This D.O. pays attention--doesn't habitually deflect and bypass or interrupt. But getting on the calendar for a follow-up to test results or other scheduling is even harder this year than last year: months, not weeks, stuck in the queue. That 'business model' may be typical for the broader medical industry in California though. I got lucky in 2023 with the new Physician's Assistant available on short-notice for requisite per-surgical screening. The staff support team seems solid at this clinic and I'm glad this convenient neighborhood location has not relocated, as I can even walk or bicycle to get there. Recently, I was able to get a recommended blood panel started there. Thus, no need for a separate trip to CMH hospital or Quest or another lab site. Kudos.

I received subpar treatment from Dr. Timothy Williamson as an adult patient. I was in the midst of…read moretreatment with Dr. Williamson and he canceled his appointment with me 40 minutes beforehand because he was apparently figuring out his schedule. It was incredibly odd. The receptionist also did not even apologize and was incredibly rude. When I asked when the appointment could be rescheduled for, his office staff told me they'd call me and hung up. I waited for a call back and didn't receive one. So I tried calling the office several times over the next two weeks to reschedule the appointment with no luck. At the time of this cancellation incident, I was being treated by Dr. Williamson for follow-up for blood test results that I was told would need to be reviewed in person (to this day, these have never been reviewed with him) and a skin condition on my thumb that had not resolved despite three prior appointments I had had with him. It turns out Dr. Williamson misdiagnosed my skin condition, which I only found out after going to a dermatologist that I had to be very persistent in asking for a referral to from him. Additionally, I had an inflamed cyst at time of the appointment that was canceled, which I notified Williamson's office staff of. The abrupt cancelation ended up being quite an issue because I had been prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream for the skin condition by the dermatologist. As my skin was raw and bleeding, I wanted to check with Dr. Williamson that I should proceed with using the Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream as it is only for topical use and is contraindicated for treatment on open sores. So I communicated with Williamson's office staff that I had hesitancy about proceeding with this treatment- it seems this question was never relayed to Dr. Williamson by the office staff because I never heard back and I was left in the dark trying to navigate my own health issues. About a week after my initial appointment had been canceled, Dr. Williamson's receptionist called me on a Friday after the office was already closed and told me to call on Monday to reschedule my appointment. I called her back on that Monday and left a voice message around noon. I called the office back at 4 pm and the receptionist picked up. I told her I needed to reschedule the appointment. She told me, "We'll call you back" and abruptly hung up. I didn't hear back from the office for over a week. In the meantime, I realized I needed to get my blood test results. So I logged into Quest (who performed the blood test) and requested my results. Some parts of the blood test results were concerning to me and I was shocked that Dr. Williamson had not reviewed these test results with me (even over the phone) and had actually cancelled the appointment 40 minutes beforehand. Given the blood test results, I am not sure if I will require further testing and was given no treatment instructions by my former primary care provider Dr. Williamson. I have since decided to sever my treatment relationship with Dr. Williamson due to the treatment being was I believe to be far below the standard of care for the field.

I remember sharing that story with one of my nurses and she said most doctors don't so that and that we were lucky to find a doctor like him. I'm the coming months my son would end up in and out of Coastal Pediatrics and the hospital and Dr. Blank was there every step of the way - from fevers to ear infections, RSV and everything in between.

NP Driscoll took one of our after hours calls and was super informative. She even contacted me the next day just to check in on my son! The office staff - nurses, medical assistants, front and back office they all truly care about their patients and are all amazing. There were times we were in their office weekly and never once did they make me feel like I was crazy for being there so often - they know I just want what's best for my son and being a first time mom, that is so comforting. Their after hours inquiries are always addressed and promptly if I might add! You leave a message and you're called back - no matter what time, no matter what question. Even during normal business hours you're contacted back when leaving messages. Sometimes the doctors are the ones returning the messages and I think that right there says it all. Every time I've called for a same day appt, they've been able to get us in. This office truly cares about their patients. We love you guys! Thanks for taking such great care of my son.

Dr. Robert (Bob) Dodge's office is located in the 5-story building across the street from Community Memorial Hospital in mid-town Ventura.

After about 10 minutes Nicole, 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, 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-welcoming. He has great energy and displays true passionate, 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 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.
