BEWARE OF MERCED MEDICAL CLINIC AT 650 west olive ave, Merced. Dr. Uppal!…read more So I typically don't write a review like this but I thought I should warn Merced county folks. My wife was referred to Merced medical clinic located at 650 west olive ave in Merced California. She was referred to Dr. uppal who is supposed to be a GI doctor. She was referred for constant vomiting and nausea. We saw him and was sent for ultrasound. She had a follow up after the ultrasound. She was asked by the Dr. why she came back like he didn't know why she was there. Then said nothing was found and she was fine. Also atfer he touched her belly saying i had muliple hernias in my stomach. This was In October of 2024. We asked three times if we had a co pay and they said no. Then we get a bill in mail for 30 dollars. For two visits. So I've been trying to pay this bill for months now but they changed their hours to Saturday only from 8-5. I go in there to pay my wife's bill on Saturday the 24th of may 2025. I was greated by two ladies in the billing department. They said that someone else was coming to collect the payment. While waiting I was sharing our experience with the doctor to the staff. Saying that I've seen five different Gi doctors and uppal was by far the worst I've encountered. I was explaining that he didn't now what he was doing, that the staff up front called my wife stupid because uppal doesn't handle vomiting and nausea. Huh, I said that's funny. That why I was seen by one before. They were shocked to find out that my wife symptoms have not gone away. I was saying how the front reception was very rude and called us dumb for being referred there. Which we didn't want to go there to begin with. I have been seen by the other two gi doctors and never heard of this guy before. In comes the lady that was gonna take payment. She over heard me saying the truth to the staff in billing. When she came out she was by far the rudest person I've ever encountered. She pointed a finger at me and said you listen here! She began to tell me that he is the best Gi doctor in the entire United States as I giggled she began to get more angry. She stated that I need to leave the building immediately or she was gonna call the cops. To which i said was like please go ahead and call them. Stating all im here for is to pay a bill. Then this lady began to tell me that she was uppals daughter and she was also an md. She said she didnt want me there anymore Becuase she did not want me to scare the patients in waiting room. Which i said well they should know who they're dealing with. She then told me I don't have to pay the bill. I said ok good Becuase they didn't even help her and treated her badly. She then got out from behind the billing counter and got in my face telling me to get out now! As she's raising her voice. She then walked me out of building locking door behind me so that I wouldn't come back in. The ladies behind the counter were in shock by the way uppals daughter treated me. Oh before she walked me out she stated she knew who I was and that I was referred by the doctor in the near building. I laughed and said then who am I. She then asked the two girls behind the billing counter and they said they didn't know who I was Becuase I didn't say. Then she was just pissed and walked me out. I'm sorry but this place need to be shut down. They charge you for a service that and I quote he doesn't do vomiting and nausea. So why was I billed and why does my wife still feel sick. This place is a joke people. Don't waste your time and money, or for that matter risk your health going here. Also the building so so nasty. They don't clean. The bathrooms disgusting. And also the lady that did her bp was covered in her hair and a bunch of pet hair. Just wanted to share our experience and warn others.

Now we understand his sensory needs, and we have a sensory diet to follow. We have tools to actually help him when he's disregulated, where we used to feel powerless. We've been to other OT's, but worked to come back and work with Priscilla as soon as we could. She had truly helped us understand our child better, and forever changed our lives in the process.

DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY Medical and Physical Support…read morePain & Symptom Management (Grade C): Failed to warn about high sensitivity to Morphine/Ativan in a nearly 100-year-old patient; resulted in two days of over-sedation. Medical Equipment (Grade D): Unnecessary "bundled" equipment arrived without transparency. Crucially, delivered an unsafe, bed with 40-year-old design bed with malfunctioning manual rails, leading to a patient fall and injury. Medications (Grade C): Late-night deliveries (after 8 PM) and inadequate supply for basic needs like constipation. Personal Care (Grade C): Aide was inflexible regarding scope of care, refusing basic help with a meal despite the patient's physical weakness. Emotional and Spiritual Support Counseling (Grade F): Minimal contact and zero emotional support. The social worker was dismissive, suggested the patient use briefs instead of the bathroom for caregiver convenience, and eventually stopped visits entirely, citing the VA as a reason to disengage. Caregiver and Family Assistance Emergency Response (Grade F): A two-hour nurse response time following a stroke. The responding nurse was unable to answer questions, used a CPAP instead of required oxygen, and failed to check swallowing safety until prompted. Communication (Grade D): Lack of compassion and poor coordination. Management was unavailable on weekends, and formal complaints to the Director of Nursing went unacknowledged. Administrative Deficits: Reliance on disruptive phone calls rather than a modern patient portal or written care plan. No consistency in staffing and a failure to respect the primary caregiver's work schedule for coordination.

They are attentive, easy to communicate with, quick to answer and any questions or concerns, and have been consistent with their services, and willingness to go the extra mile in making sure all of grandpa's needs are met. Finding care for a loved one, or even yourself is always tough, but working with Kure has made it easier, and have accommodated all home health needs. I highly recommend them!
