I hope ANY patient would ASK questions, but this bothers Dr. Abassi!…read more Patient education is important to avoid problems/misunderstandings. I spent an added $300 to convenience him and get myself to the appointment using a taxi. Dr. Abassi/Mad River Pain Clinic advertises heavily on the radio offering "comprehensive pain management" (you NEVER are told the 'comprehensive' part, a treatment plan, or given any medical information to read, nothing.) He also complained, called me a name and spoke negatively about me to his nurse (about asking questions) as I was falling asleep from the twilight meds, and wonder what else he said when I was not conscious. No patient, females especially, should accept negative remarks for simply 'questioning' a male MD. He refused to let me see or read the radiology report I paid for, made me go to the hospital to get a copy. They NEVER explain that twilight meds makes you unconscious, not sleepy. Patients have tried to drive themselves home after, so TELL the patient this information! And while he has '30 years experience', legally offers adequate "Standard of Care" and sterile conditions, and has you sign a million forms (sight unseen, to save HIM paper. You use a signature tablet while the front desk clerk "tells you" what you are signing. Terrible idea. At least let the patient read what they signed. He actually bitched to the VA in his "report" on me about me being the most annoying patient by ASKING SO MANY questions,(that his staff is taught to tell me to do)! Staff refuses to answer anything. Apparently I wasted his time on the second appointment too by asking questions. He wrote in his chart notes that I was the problem complaining about the VA, when I only agreed with HIM that yes, it was beauracratic for sending him 40 pages of useless paperwork, and no medical records.. This seems delusional to blame the patient, but at least he has his 'record' on me. Extremely poor communication with front office, they send NO information pre appt. on requiring a driver if you plan to have twilight meds, and after they misinformed me Ihad to take a taxi both ways, at cost of $130. the doctor said he'd REFUSE treatment, or make me give up the twilight they told me I may really need. ( No twilight meds means I could have driven MYSELF safely to and from, but I already was there, and needed a taxi to get home after.) Then he dragged a poor staffer in and wasted 10 minutes explaining to her (to impress me) how to tell the patients the 'policy'. So If you don't have family or convenient neighbors to drive you and wait around for two hours then a taxi is the only option. In an 'emergency' after the appointment the taxi driver would would immediately take you to a hospital faster anyway, just as anyone would do! I expected a few calm moments to hear the treatment plan, but he sees 12 patients a day, or more, rushing up and down a row draped beds for privacy (you can hear anyway). Too fast explanations, and since my original complaint was severe sacrum pain from a MVA, he diagnosed "spinal stenosis" instead, sent me for MRI & X-rays I had to pay a lot more for because Dr Abassi complained the VA doesn't provide anything helpful, so that cost me an extra $160. And he never ordered anything for sacrum analysis. I have another hospital report from a radiologist reporting degeneration of the sacrum, which Abassi never mentioned, but proceeded to give me injections for, that day NOT for spinal stenosis. Then they made an appt. for the spinal treatment injections he had 'diagnosed', and I wonder if this was to take advantage of the VA paying for it. How would an uneducated patient know? If you have back pain it can come from several areas, I knew what my problem was, and both radiology reports backed up my knowledge that my spine was normal, I am just aging. But my sacrum was the problem. I did not go back to him, and would not.

I appreciate that currently the staff is allowing folks who wish to wait outside or sit in the hallways can do so, in limited amounts of course. Currently, any doctors appointments are done via zoom or via phone. For the most part, those phone doctor appointments used to intimidate me. But after doing a couple of doctor appointments via phone I have felt like I have been able to take as much time as I needed during the appointments and I did not feel rushed discussing concerns with my doctor. As far as the my chart app goes I definitely feel like it's come along way since it was first develop now you can make appointments virtually, sent any questions and concerns, for the first time after Covid I was able to show proof that my TB test was negative and much more. More recently I came to the clinic to have a gynecologist appointment. The doctor Tara Moss was so patient, calming and respectful.

It was a very basic thing to do and my girlfriend who works in medical coding heard they didn't order the test and she was flabbergasted. Result was I ended up in the emergency room a week later with a life threatening problem and spent four days in the hospital. ER doctors almost had me flown to San Francisco. Another time I had a grumpy doctor who had to fit me into his schedule due to the front office insisting I had to make a same day appointment for getting a cast. The doctor didn't believe me and said "I don't see why you people come here I guess you just want to save money". He then proceeded to wrap my arm ignoring the recommendation of the ER doctor and twisted my arm repeatedly. He used the wrong tape the first attempt, forgot the sock the second attempt. His demeanor softened the third time and he decided if he did the wrap differently I would be in less pain. It felt like I was being intentionally tortured. He later apologized for delaying getting my records to the specialist. I ended up in surgery after the bone had started to heal. There is more but this is getting long. Humboldt County has a provider shortage and I have been unable to find another each time I try. Getting through to the office during business hours with an urgent question is nearly impossible, and expect to wait at least two days before the team gets your question to the provider. Includes very high fever and trying to get a refill on a life critical prescription. I really wish I had an alternative.

Disappointed! I'm…read morenot one to leave reviews, but Dr. Nathan Webb did not leave a good impression with me. It was my first visit with him as a new patient at Center for Natural Medicine, and I had to take off work to make the appointment, after waiting for weeks. Due to my busy day at work and traffic issues, I was 7 minutes late to my 1-hour appointment. I brought all the necessary paperwork that had been emailed to me and it was filled out prior to my arrival. I was ready to go when I walked in. Dr. Webb then handed me more paperwork to fill out after I arrived. I'm now repeating the same information onto more forms for the third time, which I've already stated twice before on the previous forms. After filling this paperwork out and handing it to Dr. Webb, we're now 15 minutes into my 1-hour appointment and he tells me he's not going to see me and that I'll have to make another appointment (weeks out) because it's too late. I explained to him there's plenty of time left to get done what we can and that I'm also a busy working professional with responsibilities and obligations, and I did the best I could to get there on time. I provided all the completed paperwork that had been emailed to me. He did not care. He said "Bro, you were late..." I explained to him that, at this point, we still had 45 minutes left. Again, he refused to see me. I explained to Dr. Webb that I was obviously upset, after having waited for weeks and taken the time to fill out all the forms, then take off work, rush to drive 13 miles to his office, and then be denied medical treatment when my time was still scheduled and available. His response was a calm and condescending, "You don't have to come back." After an already busy and difficult day, that was the last thing I was prepared to hear. In the end, it's his business and he can choose to treat people however he wants and deny service if he so chooses; however, I found it unprofessional and lacking empathy for a community he says he seeks to serve. Apparently, Dr. Webb doesn't need the business.
