Dr Alderman has gone beyond the normal care for me. I have a long history with him and feel like I own him a lot. I had trouble getting meds to the pharmacy as well, in the past, but feel like that problem has been solved. read more

Sadly only 2 stars due to having been going to this office for almost 8 years, and trying to get the meds that the doctor prescribed yet it often takes 5 or more calls to the office to get the prescription sent to the pharmacy. The office staff will say they already called it in, or that they will do so right away, yet continually that is not the case. The doctors do a fine job, it's just the office staff don't follow up on getting the meds to the pharmacy. read more

I would rate Dr. Stone as a zero he's very unprofessional no manners ask and 80-year-old lady how long I wanna live he lied I wouldn't send anybody to him no compassion no bedside manners I guess when you reach a certain age they don't really care about you. You're just a $or a number he's a nephrologist and he asked me why I was there that was one of the stupid questions. I don't want to give him a star he doesn't deserve it.he gets a zero! read more

This is a very poorly managed medial office. While Dr. Alderman is quite competent and analytical, his chaotic style appears to cause the staff to be quite stressed out all the time. Appointments get cancelled without any notice or follow up to reschedule. I suggests finding a different nephrologist in Coachella valley for your needs. read more

This review is based on the office staff, we never were able to schedule an appointment with any of the doctors. We have a PPO and they still required a referral from our primary Dr. Our doctor's staff faxed a referral at least 3 times over a 6 week period and I have the confirmed faxes. The staff at Desert Nephrology were rude over the phone and stated that they never received any faxes. It would have been nice to find out how the doctors were there. We have gone elsewhere. read more

I'm doing this review strictly as a patient. I've been…read morecoming here as a visitor from Whittier Ca. I can only compare it to my home clinic. This place needs a remodeling Bad! There is evidence of it, throughout. Even though, they received my complete orders from my home clinic, it took them over 2 weeks to finally provide me the intravenous medicine ordered by my doctor. The technicians are very efficient in connecting and disconnecting you. At my home clinic you can connect easily to internet. Here, not so easy. And the television monitors are controlled by a single type of control. So your co-patient next to you can easily change or turn off yours! This might not seem that important, but, when you're there for 3 hrs and 45 minutes, you value your tv.

I am extremely disappointed with this hospital's failure to communicate and cooperate during a critical time for my adult, brain injured son. Despite repeated requests to case managers for essential discharge planning information and state required capacity assessment forms for conservatorship, nothing was provided except excuses. Phone calls, emails and nurse's requests for phone calls from case management, social workers and doctors are ignored. The one phone call from the case management manager resulted in her promising to obtain information and call me back within a few hours. So far, it's been 4 days with no information. This is typical of communication with this department. I contacted the hospital administrator who assured me these issues were unacceptable and would be addressed, yet no follow-up or resolution ever occurred. In fact, my subsequent emails to him were ignored. The absence of accountability, coordination, and responsiveness created unnecessary hardship for our family. This experience reflects serious deficiencies in patient advocacy and care coordination.

From the moment you walk in, the environment feels welcoming, polished, and thoughtfully designed to reflect both professionalism and comfort. The space itself is beautifully maintained, spotless, modern, and calming, which immediately inspires confidence in the level of care provided. The entire team operates with a clear commitment to excellence, making each visit feel personalized and unhurried. Every interaction reflects genuine expertise and attention to detail. Kymberly, the family nurse practitioner, deserves special recognition for her outstanding care. She assisted me with Botox and was absolutely phenomenal, knowledgeable, thorough, and attentive, while also taking the time to ensure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. Her skill and professionalism truly stand out, and I would highly recommend scheduling an appointment with her. You will not regret it. Brittany, the other family nurse practitioner at the practice, is equally professional and adds to the strong clinical foundation of the team. Journey Wellness and Performance offers a comprehensive range of services, including Botox, fillers, TRT, weight loss treatments, and peptides, making it a one-stop destination for both aesthetic and overall wellness needs. I am especially looking forward to returning for my upcoming laser treatment using the Candela GentleMax Pro laser, which further reflects their commitment to using top-tier technology. Overall, Journey Wellness and Performance delivers an impressive blend of expertise, advanced services, and a truly elevated patient experience. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking professional, high-quality wellness and aesthetic care, and I look forward to continuing my treatments with complete confidence.

She and the other gal immediately left our conversation and put all their attention on the husband and the earrings.
