Dr. Matuk and Mary or Mark, not sure of the gender, refused my services today for being a veteran!…read moreAnother doctor, in the same office, found a blood clot (Boghal) on my intestines and Matuk's feeling were hurt because I requested that doctor to take care of my care. Matuk gave me a colonoscopy without ever a follow up. So Mary or Mark; hope I didn't get the gender wrong, the office manager, refused me because they said I saw another VA doctor. Why would the VA make an appointment with Matuk if I saw another doctor? That didn't make sense or wasn't a logical reason refuse to see me OR it's because of my service to this country. Dr. Matuk's office refused me because of my veterans service or because of my ethnic background as a Native American! I have 2 excellent insurances both Blue Cross/Blue Shield and the VA insurance but was refused service. As a proud member of the VA and the American Legion of California, I will be informing ALL veterans of this horrible group of medical "professionals" and Matuk's office! Horrible people!!!

Saved my Husband's life! My husband spent a week at…read moreAdventist Health with a blood clot in his lung. The hospital misdiagnosed him. My husband was in so much pain he wanted to end all treatment and enter hospice care. My husband's regular doctor was in Santa Barbara and he was too ill to travel for follow up care so he reluctantly agreed to find a PCP in Bakersfield. I asked around for the best Doctor in town and was referred to Dr. Heidrick. Dr. Heidrick met with him for his first visit on a Monday, ordered STAT tests Tuesday, Correctly Diagnosed my husband Wednesday and had him to the top Surgeon at UCLA on Thursday. Needless to say his recovery has been bumpy but Dr. Heidrick and his amazing staff have been with us every step of the way. My husband's recovery goal was to play golf and today for my husbands birthday he was able to play golf with his son. So grateful to Dr. Heidrick and his staff. I have my husband and my son has his father today.

In my third visit with her, today, I had to literally walk out and won't be back! I asked other staff if she was just having a bad day. So consistently condescending but today she was actually rude. I asked about side effects of a particular drug she stated no one had ever complained to her before and dismissed my question. Then when I asked her to clarify something she got irritated with me and started with more condescension. If you don't agree with her she will belittle you into thinking you're the one that's wrong rather than explaining like most doctors! No thanks! Update: 04/15/26 - I spoke with Dr Gilli on the phone and it's seems they are somewhat flippant and unapologetic in their attitude towards the situation. I don't feel comfortable with this response that she "always" treats patients with respect after I conveyed the opposite in a professional manner over the phone. This was damage control gone wrong imo. Black box warnings are serious and it's too bad this Dr. doesn't care to make any changes as she is a 25 year employees with the company. He's got her back regardless. I appreciate the call back but it's clear his attitude is just like hers. They don't care.

I'd like to give them a 5 star review, but the front office staff are unfriendly, never smile and…read morejust rude. Not sure if they are the ones who anser the phone as well but they truly need some training and follow through is sporatic, and not at all helpful. It's pretty sad that the first contact you have are with these unfriendly faces. Some of the policies, I will assume that Dr Farr knows of, make no sense. Making an appointment is not fun - you get sent a text message and "request" an appointment. After several days, you still need to call the office, if you can get anyone to answer the phone to make the appointment. Send an email - no response. Communication is not very good. The care providers however are great, listen to concerns and spend more than a few minutes with you.

I have been with her for over 8 years and she is a doctor who listens, addresses concerns, and puts patient care at the center of her practice. She is clear with options and risks with medications, and is clear with follow up instructions. She is a very professional, kind, and caring doctor. I am always able to get into see her in a reasonable time and have referred other friends to her who have also told me how much they like that they have a doctor who listens. Dr. Sharma has given me referrals as needed over the years to specialists who have also been very helpful in addressing other medical needs that have come up with illnesses, injuries, and required testing that is needed with aging. One of the best things about this practice is that you can get your bloodwork done in house - so it's nice to have a morning appointment, come to the appointment fasting, and get your bloodwork done right away- no other appointments or trips to a lab needed! Her office staff is very nice and helpful. They are efficient with paperwork needs and have always been professional and friendly. If you are looking for a primary care physician, Dr. Sharma might be your great fit!

A prescription was called in that should help with my symptoms. My experience today at PFC was exceptional.

I wasn't too fond of his bedside manner back then so we switched to Dr. Santiago because she is so sweet and will make you feel so comfortable with her. That being said, I just had a baby 5 months ago and now we are at their new office every few months and I am so relieved to have this doctor's office for my daughter!! We saw Dr. Shah for her newborn checkup and his bedside manner has improved immensely. He was so kind and patient with us and caring about my baby's well-being! I love him. I love all the doctors here! And staff. They are all awesome! It's great because even if the doctors are busy, they have a lot of nurse practitioners to help them with their patient loads so it's easy to schedule appointments. We usually see Kat, Dr. Shah's nurse prac and she is the kindest, most loving person. We love her so much. Thank you SW pediatric!! Oh and their new office is amazing! They have a "sick" side and a "well" side to keep germs at bay! Such an innovative idea!
