This review is specifically for the scheduling and reception part of the business…read more My doctor prescribed physical therapy for an injury. I was given the choice of two clinics so I chose Tower Physical Therapy because I had heard good things about them. I called right away to make an appointment. Unfortunately the first available appointment was more than a month away, but I understood that they were busy, and was willing to wait. On the day of my appointment I arrived early to check in since there are always forms to complete for the first visit. The receptionist at the front desk took my name and told me that I did not have an appointment. She asked if my name was a totally different name, to which I replied it was not. She asked who I spoke to when I made the appointment. I didn't write down the name of the receptionist as I assumed it wouldn't be a issue. She went to the back to talk to the available PTs and returned a few minutes later (while calling me the wrong name) to inform me that I had missed my appointment which was scheduled that day, but two hours earlier. I know that I would not have scheduled an earlier appointment due to the fact that I was at work at that time. I informed her that I was told a different time (the time I had put in my calendar) and had repeated it to the woman I spoke to when scheduling, to confirm. The receptionist just reiterated that my appointment was earlier that day. The receptionist did say they could possibly fit me in if I was willing to wait, which I agreed to do. I gave her my insurance card and started to complete the necessary paperwork. While I filled out the forms, she started calling a male's name. Since there were two males in the waiting area with me, I assumed she was calling for one of them. Nope. She was reading the name on my insurance card which happened to be my husband's name. I realized what was happening and took my card back. I told her that was my husband's name, not my name. She made a comment stating that I didn't respond when she called my husband's name. He was not there with me and that is not my name so no, I didn't believe she was calling for me. In the meantime, a second woman came to the desk and began the task of verifying my insurance. She called me back to the desk after a few minutes and informed me that they do not accept my insurance. I left feeling very frustrated. Looking back there was another red flag about the whole fiasco. Usually a patient receives a phone call from the office or clinic to confirm the appointment. No one called me the day before to confirm my appointment. Not even for the time they claimed my appointment was scheduled. Very odd. While I totally understand that we are all human and everyone makes mistakes or errors, what disappointed me the most was how the receptionist handled the situation. It is a shame because while I've heard good things about the therapy staff, I would not consider going back, all because of that receptionist.

And no water supplied for patients waiting to be seen. My husband had to wait a week to get this appointment for a broken hand. I have a referral for this same doctor for my foot. You bet I'm already calling my primary to get another referral. It took 1 hr 45 min to get in. They told us when making the appointment early in the week that they would get the X-rays from the hospital. Wrong! And they didn't even pull them up today when they wanted to cast my husbands hand. How do you cast someone without seeing where the hell the beam is?

I keep getting the run around and I feel like they don't want to fix my knee, I have a complex tear in my meniscus and the doctor recommended physical therapy so I did it, well now that I'm done with it he's still hesitant and wants a X-ray. My knees in pain and it's difficult to walk, stand, or sit for a long period of time. I have one more appointment with them and if it doesn't go the way I want it to I'm taking all my medical records else where. I'd avoid this place at all costs.

After a frustrating 10 months of being misdiagnosed by a different orthopedic surgeon, finding Dr…read more Beauchman was an absolute game-changer. From my very first visit, he was incredibly kind, thorough, and took the time to truly understand what was going on with my knee. He performed an arthroscopic meniscusectomy, and the entire experience went incredibly well. Thanks to his skill, I am already walking completely free of discomfort and am finally able to get back to my active lifestyle. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Beauchman's care, and his support staff is equally wonderful--always encouraging, helpful, and welcoming. If you want a surgeon who listens, gets the diagnosis right, and delivers amazing results, look no further. I am so incredibly grateful to the whole team!

Unfortunately, my experience with the office management was the complete opposite. I called several times to speak with the office manager, only to later find out she had already left for the day. The staff seemed unaware of her availability, which reflected poor communication within the office. I've also spoken with friends who have been seen at this office, and they shared similar frustrations about how difficult it is to get in contact with Manager Maira. I genuinely believe the office would benefit from management that leads with professionalism, compassion, and clear communication. The staff seemed to lack the support and guidance that strong leadership should provide, and I think the overall patient experience would improve significantly with better management. Because of this experience, I won't be recommending Valley River Orthopedics. Merced already has too few healthcare offices that consistently provide compassionate customer service, so it was especially disappointing to encounter this level of hospitality.

He was open about including my husband at all of my appointments, as my husband was the one providing my in-home care. My husband felt very confident in Dr. Than, as I did. He was very clear about the non-weight bearing restrictions & the time frame for those restrictions. It's amazing to see my scar, now three months after the surgery. It is so faint you can barely see it. My friends are amazed at how wonderfully my incision has healed & so quickly. Dr. Than is very thorough in his pre-op preparation. I have a bleeding disorder & had a pulmonary embolism almost 20 years prior, following a back surgery. I also have asthma & some minor heart issues. Dr. Than made sure I had all the pre-op tests & approvals from my specialists, prior to the surgery.

Well life happens and I didn't get to run into Merced and have surgery that week. I had to wait until my life allowed for it. He had NO IDEA what my life has been like for the last year. He never even bothered to even ask. He said he never told me I needed surgery which is a bold faced lie! I was there at my appointment last year and I'm sure I remember it better than he does!!! It was MY appointment and he sees a lot of people besides me I'm sure. After berating me for waiting so long, he finally said I need a new MRI. That's all he had to say in the first place instead of belittling me in the office like he did!! He had me on the verge of tears. He was a complete and total ass!! I will NEVER go back to this doctor again and I don't recommend him to anyone unless of course you like to be treated by someone who talks over you, doesn't listen to you, and tells you that you don't know what you're talking about in a very condescending manner. His office assistant was very nice but that's not enough to make me ever see this doctor again.

Haven't seen you in awhile bud, you look good!" Man it was great to see him though. He's still one of my doctors but I like him the most. Honestly, he has to be the most handsome doctor I've ever had! He looks like a GQ model or an ex Abercrombie and Fitch model when he was younger. He's got a great sense of humor and doesn't take himself too serious like the other doctors do. This man is simply the best that Tracy has to offer. He knows his craft. Be nice to him and he'll be nice to you. You will NOT find a better doctor than him. Highly recommend!
