They are setup like more of a concierge service. They planned around outer crazy schedule to meet outside of regular hours, sat down and laid out a plan for us, and talked us through the program to lose weight and keep it off. They are even sending meal plans for us to navigate allergies and etc. thank you so much for being so awesome! It is well worth the drive from SB!

After a long search to find a new primary care physician in Santa Maria (they're scarce), I am so…read morepleased to have been accepted as a patient by Dr. Peter Scott! I liked Dr. Scott immediately! He is young, seems health conscious, and he listened when I spoke! He seemed genuinely interested in working with me on my concerns, as I try to lose weight and improve my health. He authorized the blood tests I asked for, and the results have helped me to see where I'm making progress and where my lifestyle still needs work. He also referred me to a specialist I needed to see in order to follow up on a serious health issue. I made my appointment with Dr. Scott mainly because I had heard so many good things about the facility he joined-- Family Care of Santa Maria. Most of their doctors are too busy to see new patients, but they are some of the most popular and highly rated physicians in Santa Maria. I feel lucky to be able to see one of their doctors! The office is conveniently located across from Trader Joe's, and the parking is convenient. I'm as impressed with the staff at the facility as I am with Dr. Scott. Everyone I've dealt with there (receptionists and the medical assistants) has been friendly and a genuine pleasure to deal with. I get the feeling they are treated well, and it shows. I actually enjoy going there. The waiting area is clean and pleasant. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get through on the phone, but that's a minor concern-- I've always been able to get an appointment, or get my question answered, etc. If you are looking for a new physician, I highly recommend Dr. Scott, as well as Family Care of Santa Maria!

Re: Dr. Bruce Walker; Walker Medical Wellness:…read more As a Veteran of the United States Armed Forces, I was sent to see Dr. Bruce Walker for a "Compensation and Pension Claim" exam and evaluation by the Veterans Administration. Dr. Walker is "highly respectful and appreciative" of military Veterans and our service to our country. His "respectful; professionally conducted exam and line of questioning" was extremely thorough; so thorough that he found and identified issues that were unknown to me which resulted in my "Veterans Administration percentage rating" being increased to the "highest rating possible for my particular issue" and the (exactly one week later) receipt thereof of the increased VA compensation. - Dr. Walker is "one of the best."

A loved one of mine spoke with the medical assistant, Crystal, regarding a referral, and she…read morestarted the conversation off in an irritated manner by saying the following, verbatim: "Everything was explained to you and you still had a question." Crystal and her demeanor are a perfect example of why many people are afraid to ask important questions about their health, bc they're worried they're going to be met with misplaced condescension. Well, clearly, Crystal, not "everything" was explained if there was a follow-up question, but the obvious assumption and underhanded implication in your statement is that you and your team cannot possibly have any blind spots, and that- because you don't have any blind spots- anyone who asks you a question must clearly be stupid. Crystal- you are in the healthcare space, but you don't belong in it as long as you treat patients with that demeanor. Do better. That attitude is in very poor taste. Do you treat patients the way you want your most loved ones to be treated? Please ask yourself this next time someone is reaching out to you for help. It is a nasty thing to be in a position to help someone experiencing vulnerability, and to use that opportunity to be rude and condescending.

Voegel himself appoligized about the wait and said he worked throught his lunch hour to keep up with all the patients.
