I went here a week ago and it was fine, Doc & nurse were nice, I got some freebie ointment and…read moregauze. The three stars are for them. I got prescribed preventative antibiotics that day for a foot injury and I called again today to ask if I needed a refill. First person I spoke with on the phone claimed i would have to speak to the same doctor as before in order to refill the prescription. Ok, is he in or when will he be in? They do not know when he will be in and they do not have a schedule for doctors. I'm sure they must have a schedule because it's one thing to not give out a doctor's schedule, but saying you don't have a schedule for doctors at all is just crazy. So I asked for someone else who might know the schedule and her name is Destiny. She refused to tell me when he works next, and contradicted the earlier employee and said it didn't matter if it was the same doctor or not because regardless I would have to come in, pay the full amount, wait 2 hours, be seen, and maybe then get antibiotics. Destiny also said my foot wasn't getting better so I should want to come in anyway - something I didn't even say. I just said it wasn't fully healed. Destiny was so flippant as she was contradicting the earlier employee, I'm not really sure if I believe her despite her being a manager. It's the closest urgent care to me, but if employees are willing to be rude after presenting you incorrect info - it makes you wonder what else they are potentially lying about.

This experience left me frustrated not only as a patient, but as someone watching what healthcare…read morehas become for everyday people. I came in because I was concerned about worsening sinus symptoms after already trying over-the-counter treatments at home. I wasn't looking for someone to simply repeat information I already had. I was looking for an actual evaluation, questions about my symptoms, and a clear explanation of the next steps. Instead, I left feeling like my concerns were not fully explored and like I received the bare minimum. This is bigger than one provider or one urgent care. Too many people are already struggling to access quality healthcare, and when they finally take the time and money to seek help, they deserve to feel heard, respected, and properly evaluated.

Received prompt, courteous and efficient service at the lab for my bloodwork. Excellent and…read morecaring. Very professional. Went to the vaccine lab next door. Got my Covid booster. So convenient and so quick.

Before anything else, it's important to say that Dr. Corzano is an excellent physician. He's the…read morereason I remained a DOHC patient for years, dating back to his transition from Bayshire Medical to Desert Oasis. This review, however, is not about his care--it's about the staggering dysfunction of the office and the broader Desert Oasis Medical organization. I called to schedule my annual physical and was told the next available appointment that worked with my schedule was four months out. Not ideal, but I accepted it and planned accordingly. A week before the appointment, the office called to request a full blood panel in advance--perfectly reasonable. I went in promptly and completed the labs as instructed. Less than 48 hours before my appointment, I received a call informing me that Desert Oasis had decided to stop accepting my UnitedHealthcare insurance plan. After keeping me on the schedule for four months--and after directing me to complete pre-appointment lab work--they chose that moment to effectively drop me from care. What made this worse was the complete lack of professionalism in how it was handled. The staff member I spoke with showed no empathy, offered no solutions, and made no effort to retain me as a patient. There was no discussion of interim options, no offer to proceed on a cash basis, nothing. Just a flat, indifferent dismissal. I contacted UnitedHealthcare, who confirmed that Dr. Corzano is in-network under my plan. When I relayed this back to the office, I was again told--without explanation or curiosity--that the issue was on the insurer's end and that I was simply no longer accepted. Again, no attempt to resolve, clarify, or assist. It gets worse. I later learned that Desert Oasis is "grandfathering" certain patients with the exact same UnitedHealthcare plan--yet for reasons no one could explain, I was excluded. Despite being a long-standing patient, I was told I don't visit often enough. Apparently, maintaining good health is now grounds for dismissal. After waiting four months, completing requested lab work, and acting in good faith at every step, I'm left scrambling to piece together continuity of care because of an opaque and arbitrarily enforced policy. This isn't just poor administration--it's a fundamental failure of patient management and basic professional responsibility. Desert Oasis Medical has turned what should be routine preventive care into a bureaucratic mess. It's difficult not to view this as a stark example of the priorities of a for-profit medical system--where patient relationships and continuity of care are secondary to opaque policies and indifferent administration

Helped me out... long ago with testing for HIV when I found out my long term BF cheated on me --…read moresadly, I think we checked it out too soon... because I did get it later, like only 2-3 months later, so I think maybe he did give it to me... but it wouldn't have mattered at that time in California anyway. I was helped out by a few people... and they were all very supportive and nice. Most of our interactions were via phone when I lived in Summit Valley, because there was no internet out there lol, so I just recall talking and scheduling a date and time for a check, did it, and then got back "home" -- months later, however, I did test positive. Quality of care here was great, and I was attempting to stay in Palm Springs after the BF dumped me and I couldn't make rent money on my own, but it was just too pricey and everyone wanted to be on the wait list for housing -- it was like 5-6 years out, so I said, nah... not gonna fry to death in the desert and left to go back to Texas. I miss DAP, and PS, and Summit Valley as well. I wish I was back there, and I will get back eventually... 55+, look for a sincere relocation to take place. Denver won't be the spot at 55+.

She had that worst attitude and yelled at me for whistling yet she and her coworker cackled loudly behind the counter more noisily than my whistling was and I was only trying to calm my baby down. Totally uncalled for and should be reprimanded for her actions and attitude. Or don't do anything because I won't be going back there anytime in the near future not with a staff like that

Ok, here it goes. On one hand for me it was a great experience because I think I'm having a…read morereoccurrence of lymes symptoms of which I have been symptom free for over 10 years. All I want is the doxycycline antibiotic I took back then. When I went on the net this urgent said they treat lymes disease !What a shock to me because ten years ago nobody treated Lyme and every doctor avoided me. Well, times have changed. I made an appointment a few hours before and saw a person who was quite knowledgeable but I don't think she was a full doctor. Who cares, in about an hour I got my my antibiotics prescription! Hence the four stars. Here is why half my review deserves only two stars. Check in is easy but the girl at the desk is not to pleasant and this urgent care takes your credit card in case your insurance is denied. I never had that before because I have Medicare and Cigna. So you never know if they will charge your card or not in the future. She said 200 if you don't have insurance for a check up visit. It was't busy at all but a poor girl was waiting over 1 and l 1/2 hours with her hand smashed in at work. I guess they take workman's comp cases but they make them wait forever even when they are in pain. They said there is only one person always to see patients. So even though I had a 1:15 appointment it was still about an hour to see the technician. There was only about three people waiting the whole time. Also, this company has false advertising. The tec said they do not treat lymes and she didn't know why they say that on their website. They also say the treat babies and young kids, which they do not. Better call first if in doubt. This is for palm desert location.

When Carbon Health first opened, I was excited by the idea of an urgent care where you could…read moreactually make an appointment. It seemed like a great alternative to sitting in a waiting room for hours or trying to time your visit to Eisenhower Urgent Care during a slower period. Unfortunately, the experience has gone steadily downhill since my first visit. The bedside manner of many of the NPs and PAs is disappointing. You get about five minutes of their time, and it often feels like they aren't interested in truly listening to your concerns. Instead, they seem eager to fit you into a predetermined diagnosis. If you don't present with one specific symptom, they quickly dismiss the possibility of what you think might be wrong--even though people can experience the same illness in very different ways. The medical assistants haven't been much better in my experience. During my most recent visit, the MA smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and barely spoke to me. I'll never understand why some people choose careers that require working closely with patients when they seem to have little interest in interacting with people. Unfortunately, this hasn't been limited to just one office. The La Quinta location has been just as disappointing. Across both locations, the staff often come across as though they'd rather be anywhere else than at work. Trust me--we don't want to be there either. Patients aren't visiting urgent care for fun; we're there because we're sick, worried, or uncomfortable. The least we can expect is to be listened to and treated with a basic level of care and empathy. If you have a choice, I would recommend Eisenhower Urgent Care instead. In my experience, their staff takes the time to listen, treat patients with respect, and make sure concerns aren't simply brushed aside.
