Since Dr. Kristin Campos does assessments I assumed she would understand and would be the best therapist! Boy was I WRONG. She is a HORRIBLE therapist. First of all, she did not believe his diagnosis! Then she started believing my lying, manipulating son with a diagnosed disorder. When I asked if she could try something different because her techniques weren't working, she became very upset. THEN she told me that I should get diagnosed!!!! OMG...way to blame the parent!!! AVOID her at all costs! She made a challenging situation worse for both me and my son :(

Dr. K at PEAKS Clinic was truly a godsend for our family. Our fifteen-year-old daughter has been…read morestruggling most of her life -- scholastically, socially, intellectually -- and we had taken her to almost every diagnostic specialist in SLO County. Every specialist had a different theory, and none of them rang true to us. None of them helped our child. I was so thankful when I found PEAKS Clinic online (and in our area!). Dr. K spent a couple of full days testing our daughter and talking with us. Two weeks later we had a diagnosis (or two) that finally resonated with us and helped elucidate our child! Not only that, we had advice and guidance! Dr. K recommended a psychologist and other services, and almost a year later, our daughter is absolutely glowing. She understands herself and has made tremendous strides socially and personally. She is a new person, and I can't thank Dr. K enough for how she has helped our family. If your child is having challenges, please go to PEAKS Clinic. We are so lucky to have this wonderful resource in our area.

He or she is usually your first contact for most medical problems and holds the key that unlocks the door to other resources in the area. My wife and I were lucky to have a great group of doctors during the 38 years we lived in the San Jose area. When we moved to Nipomo in April 2018, we found a good replacement in Santa Maria, but he chose not to see his patients in-person once the coronavirus hit. After a year of not being able to meet with a doctor or nurse...something with added importance after age 65...we decided to find someone else. Dr. Mary Romero and the Ventana Health Center were recommended to us by several people in our neighborhood so we each made appointments. We're glad we did. - Location: Excellent. About 5 blocks east of Highway 101 in a fairly new building along Oak Park Blvd. Easily accessible from our town, Nipomo, to the south and not far from San Luis Obispo to the north. - Front Desk People: Busy but friendly. There's a lot going on in this office, but the women we've seen managed the work while maintaining a smile. Not a simple task. - Scheduling: So far so good. We've scheduled 4 appointments...each one with a Front Desk person after meeting with the doctor. We get online reminders about a week in advance. - Waiting Area: Okay. It's clean and uncluttered, but relatively small for the number of patients...especially with socially distanced seating due to Covid. - Medical Assistant: Fine. I've waited less than 10 minutes to be taken to an examining room for each of my 2 appointments. The assistant (same one) was friendly and knew what she was doing. - Dr. Romero: Great. Our introductory appointments were 30 minutes apiece and covered all the usual topics. Follow-up was 15 minutes. Since her group is part of Dignity Health which had our records since moving to the Central Coast almost 3 years ago, reviewing information was easy. Dr. Romero is very knowledgeable and seemed to relate quite well to the issues mentioned by both myself (2 visits) and my wife (one visit). Neither one of us felt rushed and, in fact, Dr. Romero made sure nothing was left on the table by asking "do you have any more questions" and "is there anything else I can help you with" a few times. I needed a referral to a local surgeon for a hernia and received a call from the surgeon's office (with a choice of 5 doctors) 2 days later after they verified my insurance. - Billing: No problem so far. We switched from private insurance - Aetna - in 2020 to Medicare and Anthem supplemental insurance in 2021. - Parking: Sufficient. There's good parking around each side of the building. The Ventana Health Center has a few doctors and our only experience has been with Dr. Romero, but from our first 3 visits we're glad we found her.

When you call with your health problems can you hold on can you hold on can you hold on!!! This is a big problem since there are three doctors in that office and one of them is my Doctor Who I love. I am not the only one that's had complaints about this office they change my appointment and didn't bother to call me I showed up and they said it's not today it's next week. Something Has to be done with the office help hire people that are qualified and that have a better personality to handle people. I'm not a sickly person but when I do have a problem and I try to get through to the nurse you never can. Please look into the situation and corrected as soon as possible thank you.
