Excellent patient care! Dr S. Always listens fully to my needs and comes up with the best plan available to meet those needs. I could not ask for a better physician and staff! I am blessed to be cared for by such a knowledgeable medical professional.

Dr. Carlos Santivanez, although I’ve only seen two times has been good but, the other employees don’t seem to be trained very well! There was confusion on appt time/process? First visit bad! Second visit much better!

Very unprofessional, after waiting for 40 minutes because EMR wasn’t working, heard him say it was 3 Mondays in row and they still couldn’t figure out how to have patients seen. I did let the MA know my aunt Needed to be seen ASAP because I had an appointment. The Doctor heard so when he entered the room He said number 1 this is a medi-cal clinic. My thoughts why does that even matter? So I should expect my aunt to be treated less than because she doesn’t have private insurance. That told be he doesn’t treat the medi-cal patients the same as he does in his private office, which is sad. He is a doctor with the same knowledge to treat no matter the circumstances of the patients insurance. If he doesn’t see that way then he shouldn’t be working in a medi-cal office.
