As such, I feel I understand the important elements for providing appropriate healthcare to patients. I have seen Crystal Blankenship on two occasions for two visits during the past year. On both occasions I found her to be professional, well grounded, with a focus on what makes sense for an individual patient. She was respectful of my background in healthcare and willing to work in a collaborative fashion to develop/sustain a well thought out medical plan for my healthcare. I look forward to continuing to develop our physician/patient relationship.

I am so lucky and grateful to have such an amazing doctor!! We left Riverbend medical in West sac,…read moreI was tired of seeing nurse practitioners, no offense, but whenever I was asked who my primary care doctor was, I had a name, but I had never once met him in the five years that I had been to his practice. Although farther out we decided to just choose another primary care doctor and had no reference to work with we just kind of pointed and picked on a list. How lucky were we to have made the most amazing decision not even knowing it. Doctor Din is so responsive, whether it is in an email message through the Health online app, without out question, anything I ask him, provides excellent guidance, I was a 22 year smoker, I asked for help to quit, after 1 month, I was able to quit without further refills on the medication, fast forward 5 years now and still a non-Smoker. Dr.Din truly listens and provides excellent healthcare and guidance.

I had the nerve wracking experience of a medical annoyance getting bad enough to need surgery. Dr…read moreDin was referred to me by my primary care physician and I couldn't be happier with the results. Besides being an obviously skilled/well trained surgeon, he's also a caring doctor who put me and my family members at ease about the procedure. Everything went exactly as he said it would and even though I hope to not have the procedure again, I'd recommend him to anybody else in that situation. Added bonus - when I was waiting for my initial consultation, I had two staff members mention to me that he'd be their surgeon for an emergency appendectomy and gall bladder surgery. I figured if his coworkers trusted him enough to do their surgery (and to continue working with him after), that was a vote of confidence in his abilities.

Dr. Hughes is one of the most caring and communicative doctors I have ever had. She really cares…read moreabout her patients and is very knowledgeable. She listens to me and respects that I know my body better than anyone. A couple of times she hasn't wanted to try a new prescription for me but here is where she really shines, she listened to my feelings and in one instance talked me out of the drug. In the second instance I knew I was right and she treated me with respect and prescribed the drug I had researched. Turns out it was the right drug for me and she told me that. She is not afraid to let the patient be an active part of their care. She is easy to get a hold of by email. She is not afraid to refer me to a specialist and she is a nice woman. What more could you ask for.

Dr. Swales is my primary care doctor, I have been a patient of his for over 20 years! Wow that…read moreseems like a long time! The reason I mention the time frame is to emphasize how awesome he is as a doctor. I haven't had all wonderful experiences with Dignity health, however, I don't have a single complaint about Dr. Swales. I am a teacher and have taught in different districts, some of which make Dr. Swales out of network for me. Nonetheless, I am willing to pay the extra just to keep him as my primary care doctor. He genuinely cares about his patients. He has a nurse that has been there as long as I have been named Josh and together they are this duo that I feel confident and cared for. I didn't know you could write yelp reviews for specific people but I'm glad I can. Getting a new doctor isn't always easy, however, if you can be one of his patients I assure you, you will be lucky and if you are like me and one of this patients, I hope you appreciate how awesome it is to have such an intelligent, kind, and thoughtful doctor.

There was a convo on Nextdoor about how great Dr…read moreSwales is (in multiple cases he saved his patients' lives by going the extra mile and doing additional testing!)... And I thought, let's share how great he is on Yelp too :) - He's very knowledgable. I have a lot of health problems, and from the very first appointment it was impressive how familiar he is with even the more obscure ones. - He's great at really listening, and then giving feedback and/or recommending the right specialist. Seems like he became a doctor for the right reason: He truly wants to help people. - He goes not just off medical literature, but also the experiences of his other patients dealing with the same condition(s). He's made some helpful suggestions to me that have improved my quality of life, more so than any PCP I've ever seen before. - There's rarely any wait time - I think the longest has been something like 10 minutes, and it is usually much less. - Dr Swales and his equally helpful assistant Josh always respond quickly and thoroughly to my messages. This is the easiest way for me to communicate, so I really appreciate it. All round fantastic doctor!

She never takes the lead on your health issue. You have to do the internet search and suggest something to her. And of course this is a very bad! Whatever you suggest she says maybe! And that keeps you in limbo! That was very unfortunate that I was assigned to her as my former Dr got sick. She did not do anything for a very obvious illness of me for two years. When I switched to someone else and the new Dr saw the record, he was really amazed! Showed me two years of test results that yelling at you and still zero action from her! Basically if you do not have a medical degree and you want someone "finds" your illness and "treats" you, you need another doctor. Very sad and very unfortunate
