last time when I went for my appointment a doctor speak Spanish and she got a translator tablet she acting she doesn't speak Spanish

Type of care. I had a bad accident in the 90's. I have been on hydrocodone since the 90's. I called in to change my appointment because I was sick. Then I tried to work, (my work saw how much pain I was in)but it was too much on me. I asked my doctor Ashton to give me more pain medicine. Because originally I had a doctor Abby but she left. The they gave a new doctor and the first day I meet her. She cut my medicine. I have fibromyalgia really bad, along with neck and back problems. So I asked for new doctor, which is Ashton. Because I had 2 missed appointments she dropped me to 1 pill a day for 10 days. I have been taking this so long they say it takes months before they can dropped you cold turkey. I am consider permanently disabled. But I thought I would try to work. So any way I was reading online that it is very dangerous for me to stopped cold turkey. read more

Hours for Acute Care on Saturday at 8-4pm. My MIL was turned away at 3:30pm because the rooms had already been sanitized. Those there this afternoon should be ashamed of themselves. read more

Customer service for family health is horrible. The front desk assistant that answered the phone was so condescending and rude. I specifically got a new insurance card in the mail that states my PCP/health facility is Lassen Medical Clinic. I call to set a new patient appointment and am asked for my ID number, which I provided. The woman then states they are no longer taking new patients and I respond that I don't know where to schedule if my insurance is listed as them.. she then says hold on and places me on hold to come back to the phone and then state "We are no longer accepting new patients and your not in our system". I explain I just moved and was given this clinic by my insurance and it is on my insurance card so I'm not sure where else to go. She then proceeds to go on about "Well all I know is this is our policy and you're not in the system" having a condescending tone and giggling. As a nurse myself, I know how medical facilities run. They could have asked me to email a copy of my insurance card or they could have placed me on hold and called to confirm instead of "shooing" me away. First you say you can't take new patients then you say I'm not in the system.. be transparent. I even called my insurance to confirm and I AM able to be seen there. All of my children have lassen medical clinic as well and they showed up in the pediatric system so I find it funny I personally didn't show up. Overall, horrible customer service and lack of patient advocacy. Glad I'm not going to be a patient any longer and switched. read more

I am at dermatologist. My appointment was 2:25. It is now 2:55 and have yet to be seen... There should be a penalty system. $1 for each late minute by the 'professional'. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. They will charge you for every little thing without even asking , even though if you tell them not to. The people at the office could not be more rude. I was talking to them with a normal voice. And the lady told me that she wasn't going to talk to me anymore because I was yelling. This is true unprofessionalist at the finest. read more

I'm here for the first time today just to get a quick Drs note for work. I was waiting for about 2 hours and was the only person in the waiting room the entire time. I just came back to the room where I've been waiting for another 30 min so far... This building seems fairly new and looks tidy, but as I'm sitting here in the room analyzing things... I see blood stains on the pillow... Clearly from the barrier on the table not being changed... Disgusting. Thankfully I wasn't here for any type of physical exam. On a side note, I finally just seen the doctor who was extremely kind! read more

if I could give a death sign I would! this place both cottonwood and red bluff are sooo far off the scale of the true meaning of healthcare that it is a death trap! stay away from all doctors at Lassen medical group! I almost died from a myxoma in my heart that was larger than a gold ball. the doctors at Lassen did not believe me or even try to listen to me and went as far as calling me at my home to tell me that there is nothing wrong with me and I need to be checked for mental health! I could not believe it! so I changed to the red bluff location after having open heart surgery to remove the tumor found by me by the way. now the doctor in red bluff Dr Kanbar (stay away) he literally was googling things to answer me, argued with me and yelled at me to not interrupt him when he would NOT let me talk! he is a sexist, egotistical man that does not have the correct education to be a doctor. please look after yourself and know that doctors are people that we hire to aid us they don't tell us what to do with our health and most don't care, it's up to us to make the change and to take charge of our health. with love a human being from planet earth read more

No docs left, one PA in urgent care who is very nice. This place went from the busiest place in town 30-40 years ago to the town joke! Go anywhere else! read more

I was told I could be seen today If I got there by 10:30AM we drove from Cottonwood we got there at 10:20 I walked to the lobby they were full not taking any more people what a joke I may consider looking for a new place but I like the staff at Cottonwood read more

Worst customer service I've ever dealt with they never answered their phone I was in her the other day they got my daughter in-and-out and said she was fine she has like conjunctivitis of the eye she can't open her eyes so I came back to the walking clinics today Saturday all the doors are open but literally no one is available they're all on their lunch breaks so we wait we've been here an hour now they come out to tell me they've seen their capacity for the day. It's impossible to get through impossible to find out times they are rude and rushing in-and-out like cattle read more

Absolutely the worst patient care, they are unkind & their practices are unethical all I ever hear from them is how things are being faxed & medications are being refilled and things do not get followed up with. They are unbelievably unorganized their primary physicians should be ashamed. read more

The only thing that I really have to say about this place is that it is a fairly new facility and appears to be generally clean. The other thing is that its convenient that they are open on some holidays and on weekends and late. I have come here maybe 3-4 times for urgent care when I was sick. The providers have always been nice. The girls who work at the front desk need some training on their customer service skills. I can't stand with someone greets you with, "Do you have an appointment?" or "Last name?" So irritating!! A greeting like, "Good morning. How are you today? Can I help you get checked in?". I typically experience wait times of 2-3 hours. But just recently I got in with in 30 min... but then had to wait in the treatment room for about 45 min. I feel like the staff here just pump patients through like cattle and never take the time to get to know them. read more

I am disgusted with the "medical appointment" my mother attended today with Dr. Katherine Lee. She has disgusting bedside manner. She treated my mother as if she were lying about being scared of doctors resulting in a higher blood pressure reading. Dr. Katherine Lee directly told her in a smug attitude "I do not believe in that white coat syndrome." Then she goes on to bash my mothers medical concerns and her last doctors integrity with her holier-than-thou attitude. She even had the audacity to belittle our people and county's name by complaining how "(she) can not understand how people in this town think." If she is so disgusted in our town then go somewhere else! After the appointment my mother sat in her car crying while my father tried to calm her. My mother, the rest of my family, and our friends will never use her medical services ever again. Once again I am thoroughly disgusted with her "professionalism." I highly advise no one to use her services. read more

For a "urgent care"Clinic they sure don't care about their patients! I work in Redding and I live in Red Bluff. I got off work at exactly 5 o'clock and rushed home picked up my 16-year-old child who called me saying her ear hurts. I arrived at Lassen medical group at 5:46. We were met with I'm sorry we don't take patients after 545. Really? One minute. There was one person in the lobby waiting. No compassion! read more

This is the WORST place to visit..again...we do not get free medial insurance we PAY to be seen here..that means we ONLY go when we really are actually SICK..SOOOOO many bad experiences here, how is this place still operating. Will explain last 2 visits and won't EVER come back..came here with excruciating inner ear pain..and the bone behind my ear was very painful and throbbing, you don't need medical experience to know I had a ear infection..lady looked in my ear and said "nope looks good" I was literally in the worst pain of my life, "I don't see anything wrong in there" keep in mind I had to PAY for that visit, the next day when I could stand it no longer I had to visit the E.R. A REAL doctor looked in my ear and said your ear is very infected and I see alot of scar tissue..He also said my eardrum bends back at a odd angle, it was in such bad shape the highest 7 day course of antibiotics was needed and even this took longer than 7 days to get pain relief. Ok now on to today 1/22/20..daughter goes into "urgent care" gets cut in line by a older woman verbally abusing her husband in front of everyone, she gets seen, and I tell her to not forget to tell the person seeing you to look good in your ear drum as they are not capable of understanding different ear drums, the woman looks in her ear for 1 second and says "ya it looks like you have some bubbles and fluid" and you should probably try blowing your nose"!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! we are so DONE with the incompetence of this place. BTW we still HAVE TO PAY!!!!!!!!!! read more

I would give this clinic a zero if I could. Brought my 6 year old in and he was having an earache. The doctor was so rough with him, he made him bleed and ended up not giving him anything for pain. The staff was not friendly and made it seem as if it was an inconvenience to get him seen. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

This is a poorly run facility but is, unfortunately pretty much the only game in town. If possible, I believe Lassen Medical has gotten worse since being taken over by Dignity Health. Next to impossible to get appointments and no doctors accepting new patients. If you are one of the fortunate few who are actually assigned to a physician, prepare for fast-food type visits, as every doctor is over scheduled. I believe there are some good physicians, however the administration hampers their ability to have much of a traditional "doctor/patient relationship with their patients.When trying to get an appointment you are often directed to the "urgent care" facility, which is in same building, uses same doctors, has excessive wait times, and has almost the same hours as the regular clinic - there's definitely nothing "urgent" about it, and after hours care is non-existent. If you do get to see your primary care physician, you are told up front that you will be seen for "only one thing" per visit - heaven forbid anything else comes up in the month or so that you have to wait for the appointment. They have a patient portal so they clearly recognize the need for tech connectivity, but can't figure out a way to take pos payments for copays or how to take the digital insurance card being issued by Blue Cross instead of physical cards. And they are constantly having you fill out paperwork that is basically the exact information they just had you verify when you checked in (address, dob, insurance, etc). It is the most backwards, absurdly inefficient doctors office I have ever been to. read more

Seems every time we go in there they are backlogged for hours. Why is it we can drive 40 minutes to Hilltop Medical Clinic in Redding and still get in faster, reliably any day of the week? Today at 3pm we were turned away as they said "Oh, sorry we're closed" at the door when their hours state 5pm. I asked why they were closed at 3pm and they said "we are at capacity". So basically the doctor wants to go home on time so people of Red Bluff are out of luck? Poor business practice. They need to do something to handle the demand as their service is poor and slow. Get some more doctors maybe. read more

Do not see marlana the urgent care doctor. Her diagnosis for everyone is allergies.. walked out of the room while I was upset and was trying to ask her what to do about my daughter still not being any better after a week! We love the kids pediatrician here but cannot always get into him so have had to settle for the walk in and I will not visit again! read more

This review used to generously have 2 stars. Now it is a one when it should be zero or negative. I signed up in early 2015 and spent months attempting to simply get through to them on the phone. At that time my medical situation was so severe that I was often bedridden. My situation requires a higher than normal dose of testosterone- something most medical professionals misunderstand and are afraid of. Despite my low T- I would otherwise be in fantastic health- and I am a licensed personal trainer who has been able to help many people. Many of the conventional fears for testosterone such as heart attacks and strokes likely do not apply in my case- yet they resisted testing for them until my last appointment- because it would remove some of their excuses. I had largely been on T(and one support med) since Fall of 2015- but the illness of my GP, the constant mistakes, multiple lies, constant inability to make phone calls, faxes piled up and approximately 50% of the time I simply COULD NOT GET MY MEDS!!! I should also mention that I now teach tech and I refuse to use their web portal as in my professional opinion it is not trustworthy. My primary doctor increasingly began to scramble facts, show up for work in what appeared not to be working condition and cut my meds- despite shaky evidence for doing so. At this point I complained and now it appears that they are retaliating. My meds have been completely cut off, My diagnosis has been walked back, I was drug tested and a threatening letter has been sent. They claim "procedure." What they are requiring is that I crash and my T must test so low that it falls off the scale. Only then will they give me a dose that would be either 1/5 or one 10th of my normal dose. Then if I test even one point into the normal range I get yanked back off! I have heard countless horror stories about this place dating back decades. How is this place allowed to remain open? read more

I have been a patient of this clinic for 10 years now. No longer! In the past, I've always been treated with respect and kindness. However, the last two visits to this place have forced me to seek care elsewhere. I was greeted in a very hostile, angry, and rude tone by a young woman at the receptionist window named Stacia. She was busy chit chatting with another woman...gossiping is more like it...when I said excuse me, Im here to check in. She very angrily YELLED. .."IM TALKING O.K!!". I immediately walked out and have been looking for a new provider. I would sooner bleed to death than be treated by these people. read more

They performed a biopsy on my husband and said that they would call in about 2 weeks. Three weeks went by and no call, so we called and they said there was no report. We called in another week and they said that the doctor did not have time to review it. We called again and they said that it would take another week to get the report. We called again and they said that his primary physican had the report. More than a month later we made an appointment with her and she had no idea that there was a report or even a biopsy. We referred her to his chart and she finally found a note that a biopsy was done. So where was the report? She had no idea and left the room for 30 minutes. We finally got a report copy faxed from the lab in Redding. She kept making excuses and then told us she couldn't read the report or give a diagnosis based on it. Well we asked for a copy and had to read the diagnosis for ourselves. Yes, it was cancer that had been ignored by Lassen Medical because there is no one competent enough to read a lab report or to manage patients information and no one who cares enough to give the patient the information or timely care that they need. Human Kindness my Hiney. read more

Worst customer service, completely rude. Literally 0 empathy. My son is special needs and his dr moved to this clinic so we followed him. Unfortunately for us it is now almost 2 hours away. We love his dr. And my son is comfortable with him so we are trying to make it work. Well the woman that work with making the appointments and answering the phones have been very degrading since we switched over, today was the last straw. We ran into traffic really bad on our way up and we're going to be about 15 minutes late. We called and they said if we were going to be more than 10 minutes late we would have to reschedule for another day.... mind you his appointment isn't anything big it's literally a 5 minute appointment, nothing is changing. I wanted to maybe just sit and wait to see if maybe we could be squeezed in at some point, but nope. Anything over 10 minutes won't work. I get it, we were late. It happens to the best of us. But I refuse to be treated like trash. I work with clients all day and have worked with people being late. Sucks that I have to find my son a new Dr. after being with this one for 12 years! read more

Moving to Tehama from the Bay Area nearly 15 years ago, I am blessed to have my medical care here in Red Bluff. The care here is second to non, with the feel they really care I use the local Raley's for my prescriptions and find the communication between Doctor and store seem less. read more

This is the worse place in the north state for medical care. Run don't just walk away. You get to see a Dr for 5 minutes and they are glued to an iPad to fill in. They have gone to s--- all there technology does not replace human kindness. They have Screwed up my medications for 6 months finally the insurance gets them on track and this month I no longer have the same Dr. To top it off I have to make appointment to see a new Dr. To get mtmy medications ordered. And don't ask for the person responsible for this place... you get transferred to a line they dont answer. Really sad they can do this to people...they need to drop the word Dignity cause they sure don't have a clue! Reconsider there are other choices...driving to Redding or Chico will save you an anxiety attack dealing with this place. read more

Dr Shahatit is the best MD I have ever had... And I've had a lot of doctors. He is kind, easy to approach and extremely thorough. I feel very fortunate to have him as my MD and I don't see myself ever changing. I also like Lassen Medical Group as a whole. I've had some good experiences using their urgent care services at both the Red Bluff and the Cottonwood locations. read more

We've always had great experiences at Lassen Medical Group. It's a great, complete medical resource for the entire family and they were our go-to for care for the many years we lived in Cottonwood. We went back when my daughter had a medical issue when we were visiting the area on vacation. I was really grateful for the kind, expert care. read more

I wound up going to the clinic connected to Lassen Medical on 9/9/2019 What can I say other than it was the worst appt. I have ever been to there. I got in within 30 min., then I was left waiting in a room for over 1 hour. The girl sticks her head in, like, oh there is someone in here. Finally the PA comes in, and says she cannot do ANYTHING. And suggested I go to the ER. She didn't even have my file when she was speaking to me. That day they were sending most of their patients to the ER, because when I got there, they followed. There is no excuse for this when someone has a problem, like naseau for 4 days. Went to the ER and I had a UTI, which would have only taken one urine sample. Anyway, I refuse to go back. The ER was much quicker and quickly found the problem. Pretty Sad when a person has to go elsewhere. I like my regular Dr., but unfortunate she was booked til mid October. SAD !!! I will be changing clinics soon. read more

Unbelievably bad. The urgent care stop seeing patients 2 hours early because they met their quota. Perhaps they need more doctors. I visit my parents in RB once a year and usually need to bring the kids in for something. I have good insurance. From the receptionist, to the woman at the window, the nurse and finally the doctor it's just terrible. I'm sorry the residents of Red Bluff have few options if they need urgent care. This is the ONLY reason they stay in business. I highly recommend driving to Chico if Lassen Medical is your only option. The only way to hurt a business is not to do business with them. read more

Horrible is the summary. After multiple bad experiences we started going to Anderson for urgent care.

I have a very good doctor here, first off. Having said that, l would have to stridently scorn this screwed up business. Is it owned by monkees? I was overseas trying to make an appointment, and l spent three days on satelite phone trying to reach a receptionist. There was at the time a patient portal whereby on the internet you could make an appointment. I tried to utilize this but was unsuccessful because the service needs to text your phone. My phone doesn't work in the Middle East! I filed a complaint with the BBB. After 1 months time, l was notified by the BBB that the uncaring, cold "machinery" corporation who owns Lassen Medical did not respond to my valid complaint. No ressponse at all, what so ever! This corporate management style recieves a grade of F from me. I would give management 0 stars if possible. If Trump owned it, he would say,"Your fired!" read more

This is the most unprofessional medical facility I have ever experienced. Not only has this facility given me private information of another patient, they also can not follow simple instructions. It took them 2 months to fax a referral for my mother who has stage 3 lung cancer. It took them1 1/2 months to fax a referral for a scope. It took them 3 YEARS...YES 3 YEARS TO FAX A SIMPLE COLONOSCOPY REFERAL!!! IT TOOK THEM OVER 2 MONTHS TO RESPOND TO MY FILING OF FMLA TO CARE FOR MY PARENTS COSTING ME 2 MONTHS OF LOST PAY!! AND IT IS UNCALLED FOR TO GIVE ME ANOTHER PATIENTS APPOINTMENT CARD AND THEN CLAIM MY FATHER HAS NO APPOINTMENT DUE TO YOUR INABILITY TO PERFORM SIMPLE OFFICE FUNCTIONS! Then when a person files a complaint, or when they simply drive a person to having an anxiety attack, they want to claim that person is threatening and abusive? I'm sorry the way you treat your patients is abusive. read more

All I can say is the billing department is practicing price gauging and unethical billing charges once you check in they bombard you with different pages that you have to sign or you don't get the service,you have be lawyer in order to understand what you reading and signing in a short time you have before you appointment time.I lost my coverage due to loss of my job,so ireeived a call from my Dr office regarding my lab work and dr visit appointment which I explained my situation and my lack of coverage so they coded me $150. For my lab work and $120 for the Dr visit and agreed to pay It cash at the time of receiving the services ,after arriving for lab work when I was signing in I asked to pay and they made made me wait about 45 minutes to figure the amount which they said is estimated $172. And paid the amount then on my Dr visit on arrival they asked for $154.dollars I paid now after five days they emailed me with extra $88 charges .in both cases everything was very clear the type of lab work I had and 15-20 minutes Dr visit very simple ,so you tell me they don't know their prices ?even local butcher knows the price of different part of the meat he sell you . To me Lassen medical in red bluff affiliated of dignity health (with hello human kindness as their slogan) is not a medical clinic but a den of thives read more

No doubt the worst customer service ever. Impossible to reach anyone by phone If you manage to get through, you will DIE ON HOLD.

The physician, Villapena, makes mistakes that cost the patient their health. Her Medical Assistant, Bree, is immature and untrustworthy. Bree will receive a patient's inquiry, document that she doesn't know what the patient wants then drops the ball. The staff at Lassen Medical have a difficult time understanding patient inquiries too. Bree Coats lacks critical thinking skills and performs sloppy work. Common for Lassen Medical Group. read more

In the case, of my Mother" some 92 years of age, I brought her to live with me in Tehama county after an surgery. On Feb- 2018,Knowing I needed a Doctor for her I went to Admin. Lassen Med. to provide. They said no - doctors available, in Red Bluff, so transferred paperwork to Cottonwood, of which we also went to for scheduling of appointment, They told me, October 8th was the soonest an New Patient could be seen, even though she had just been out of surgery, We went to that appointment . Dr. Lena, we showed up approx. five minutes before time, and then was told we can not see her, as she should of been here 30 min. before appointment, to fill out paperwork," I attempted to tell them filled out paperwork at Administration and was transferred to Cottonwood, **THEY REFUSED TO SEE MY ELDER MOTHER OF 92 YEARS, EVEN WITH SURGERICAL NEEDS,**** I WOULD NEVER RETURN - EVER EVEN IF I WAS DIEING ,BUT"" good things come to those whom wait- we found Hill Country in Redding of which has opened Three New Locations, And can see her in as little as Three days" Not - like Lassen Making her wait Damned near Year,,"" read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! If 0 stars was possible that's what this company deserves. Pray that you do not get sick and ever need to go here. Even on the slight chance you reach a live person by phone they are rude, unprofessional, and don't care at all. If you go in for acute care, after waiting for hours you will not even see a Dr. But an under qualified PA. If you ever need to call for an RX refill they will screw up 100% of the time. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! read more
