He or she is usually your first contact for most medical problems and holds the key that unlocks the door to other resources in the area. My wife and I were lucky to have a great group of doctors during the 38 years we lived in the San Jose area. When we moved to Nipomo in April 2018, we found a good replacement in Santa Maria, but he chose not to see his patients in-person once the coronavirus hit. After a year of not being able to meet with a doctor or nurse...something with added importance after age 65...we decided to find someone else. Dr. Mary Romero and the Ventana Health Center were recommended to us by several people in our neighborhood so we each made appointments. We're glad we did. - Location: Excellent. About 5 blocks east of Highway 101 in a fairly new building along Oak Park Blvd. Easily accessible from our town, Nipomo, to the south and not far from San Luis Obispo to the north. - Front Desk People: Busy but friendly. There's a lot going on in this office, but the women we've seen managed the work while maintaining a smile. Not a simple task. - Scheduling: So far so good. We've scheduled 4 appointments...each one with a Front Desk person after meeting with the doctor. We get online reminders about a week in advance. - Waiting Area: Okay. It's clean and uncluttered, but relatively small for the number of patients...especially with socially distanced seating due to Covid. - Medical Assistant: Fine. I've waited less than 10 minutes to be taken to an examining room for each of my 2 appointments. The assistant (same one) was friendly and knew what she was doing. - Dr. Romero: Great. Our introductory appointments were 30 minutes apiece and covered all the usual topics. Follow-up was 15 minutes. Since her group is part of Dignity Health which had our records since moving to the Central Coast almost 3 years ago, reviewing information was easy. Dr. Romero is very knowledgeable and seemed to relate quite well to the issues mentioned by both myself (2 visits) and my wife (one visit). Neither one of us felt rushed and, in fact, Dr. Romero made sure nothing was left on the table by asking "do you have any more questions" and "is there anything else I can help you with" a few times. I needed a referral to a local surgeon for a hernia and received a call from the surgeon's office (with a choice of 5 doctors) 2 days later after they verified my insurance. - Billing: No problem so far. We switched from private insurance - Aetna - in 2020 to Medicare and Anthem supplemental insurance in 2021. - Parking: Sufficient. There's good parking around each side of the building. The Ventana Health Center has a few doctors and our only experience has been with Dr. Romero, but from our first 3 visits we're glad we found her.

We…read morealso work on getting rid of my old patterns/beliefs that have blocked me in the past and "install" new, more effective beliefs... Her consistent support has really helped me get traction and start in on my long-term biz and professional goals (mainly what I'm working on), and also helped me shift my dating habits, which has been fun! She uses a lot of different tools in our sessions - hypnotherapy, guided imageray, energy adjusting techniques, coaching. She has an amazing ability to get right to the root of my issues. I like how she's grounded and very practical, matter-of-fact about things, but also really caring and reassuring. I always feel super relieved and lighter/clearer after our sessions, like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders and replaced with confidence and clarity of purpose/action - so, I obviously recommend her! :)

So I went. Why not? So, you know those nagging thoughts of self-doubt, fear, self-deprecation? Well, I wanted to get rid of some of them and see if Dr. Cox's methods worked for me. On her website she touts...Mind Body Tools for a Successful and Happy Life. In our session, we spent an hour talking about what I call past programming. Incidents in childhood that have an impact on how we approach life. In that hour the visceral, anxiety ridden feelings I had around fear of failure went from a 9 down to a 3 and then eventually complete calm. I'll definitely being going back to see Dr. Cox. Those nagging thoughts you know...they never quite all go away. But these sessions are surely going to keep them quiet for a while.

However, she is perpetually late ( it was not uncommon to spend over 30 minutes waiting and then be rushed through our appointment so she could get back on track). Additionally, she is VERY high pressure. She continually tries to add you to support groups, sell you supplements or send you to conferences... all of which cost more money. She even offered me Botox treatments once! She makes her money by requiring at least monthly appointments But will schedule you twice a week if you let her. I would recommend her for a child just being diagnosed but once they are stable on meds a normal pediatrician can follow them just fine.

Then I found Dr. Pirayesh. It's a membership situation with a low monthly fee but worth every penny! It's wonderful you can text, email or call her direct. She's very responsive and gets back to you in more than a reasonable amount of time. She even makes her own appointments with you.
