Unfortunately, the interaction I had left me very discouraged. When I called, I spoke with a receptionist named Ginger. She offered me two time slots--3:30 PM on Thursday or 8:45 AM the same day. I politely asked if there was any flexibility, explaining my balancing work obligations and would not be able to attend those times due to a very important meeting. Before I could finish, she cut me off and stated that she did not need to hear my "excuses," only whether I could accept the slots given. I fully understand that scheduling can be limited and that not all requests can be accommodated. However, the dismissive and rude way my situation was handled made me feel disrespected and unheard. In the healthcare field, empathy and professionalism are so important--especially when families are simply trying to meet their children's needs. I hope this was just an isolated incident or a difficult day, but I wanted to bring it to your attention so that future interactions with patients and families can reflect the courtesy and compassion that your clinic no doubt values.

I've seen Umair twice now for stretching, and he is incredible. He's professional, knowledgeable, and somehow knows exactly how to move and stretch my shoulders and arms in the most effective way. The relief is real. What I appreciate most is that he also gives me practical techniques to do at home between visits which makes such a difference in my day-to-day work behind the chair. Today was my first visit with Dr. Moninder Chana for acupuncture, and we added red light therapy and cupping. She took the time to really understand my body and what I need. Her professionalism and attentiveness made me feel completely at ease. I walked out feeling supported, aligned, and deeply cared for. The front desk team was warm, accommodating, and welcoming the whole experience feels intentional and calming from the moment you walk in. Ritual is such a gift to Vallejo. I'm so thankful to have found my new home for self-care. Thank you, Ritual.

    Yelp needs a zero stars rating. Setting the appointment was…read morenothing short of a nightmare. It's standard to get X-rays before the appointment. They assume you know this. They don't ask if you already have X-rays. If they return a call, one person says, "hey it's me". If you return someoneo call, and tell the person, FOUR times, the name of the person you are calling for, she says, "I need to find out who called you". I witnessed a nurse giving pre-op and post-op surgical instructions in the waiting room! I know what pain meds his insurance will cover pre-surgery, they will give him something after surgery and immobilize his arm. He can use his current PT or a new one after surgery. This is all a HIPAA violation. There were 5 people in the waiting room who witnessed this interaction. I have severe medical anxiety due to medical trauma and supply a FULL, typed medicial history and ways to lessen my anxiety during the visit. It states to "read entirely before engaging patient". Nurse taking my BP missed the memo. She tried asking about allergies. Referred her to my paperwork. She asked another question; same response. She spoke to me during my BP reading (not supposed to). Met with the doctor. Went as well as expected. His attitude was apparent and he had no intention of assisting me. He can't understand a frustrated tone. He was more interested in chastising a patient in pain. If it didn't involve invasive procedures, he refers you back to your primary. I walked out angry and upset. Unprofessional office. I recommend avoiding this provider like the plague.

    I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews as I've had nothing but positive experiences…read morewith Dr. Shanks! She did my bunion surgery a couple of years ago and my foot has felt great ever since. She explained my problem very thoroughly and wasn't pushy with surgery, though nothing helped to relieve my pain until I had the surgery. I can tell when it's going to rain because I get some aches from the screws, which apparently is common, but it's not bad enough to go through with another surgery to remove it. Now I take my mom to see Dr. Shanks to have her nails cut, since she's diabetic. Her staff has been good for the most part. I guess she recently moved offices so I don't really know the office staff that well, but they all seem nice.

    People of Napa, I urge you to have caution with this Dr Shanks. She injected several shots of…read morecortisone in a short amount of time. The fallout was MASSIVE! Failing to place the injection in the nerve, she caused damage to the surrounding soft tissue. The result? A thumbsize indentation on the ball of my foot that radiated excruciating pain. Several podiatrists visits later, all of whom concurred her actions were negligent. I ended up with lifelong issues but with the help of knowledgeable doctors and surgery, I have experienced some recovery from her gross errors. *I hope this review helps someone avoid the pains I have endured. Bottom line: Go to someone with more expertise. My running and dancing life have been shelved for good. Being female and minority myself, I wanted to root for her so I decided to take the leap. That leap left me injured. Go to someone else.

When…read moreI began acupuncture in October 2024, my high blood pressure was 192/97 and I was dealing with low range of motion and pain in my right shoulder due to pulled/strained muscles. I had recently weaned myself off high blood pressure medication because of non-stop persistent coughing, and I was really scared. Dr. Shawne and her staff was very compassionate and listened to my concerns. Dr. Shawne assured me that with acupuncture, excercise, meditation, tai chi, and diet, my situation would improve. She also ordered a vitamin routine for me, which I began immediately. I continued with my acupunture treatments until the end of January 2025, when my high blood pressure reached l35/64, and my range of motion became normal. Everytime I lift my arm to grab something, I am so grateful that I was able to be under the care of Dr. Lopes. She is amazing and has given me back my life! Yvonne V.
