Wow, an old-fashioned but up to date physician who is obviously not in medicine for the buck, but to deliver quality medical care. First, he spent the better part of an hour with me, asking questions, reviewing things, clarifying, and examining. He is really cheerful, very thorough, non-judgmental (I have 40 lb I should lose and not once did he ask me why I hadn't). Staff is also excellent there. My wait time was only about 10 minutes. Caveat: they don't take credit cards, so take cash or checkbook for your co pay. They do draw blood there for lab work, which my insurance company said wasn't done, so I did have to come back a day later, fasting, for blood draws, but that's not the practice's error, that's an error on the part of the insurance company. This is truly a wonderful, caring doctor. read more

office slow or non responsive to answer or follow up on requests. requested call backs are rare. you have to repeatedly try to get a response. I am a senior. I would not recommend him/his office as a primary care provider read more

Dr. Mamita is a caring doctor. I am lucky to find a geriatric physician that is specialized in elderly care. The staff are kind and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend Dr.Mamita. read more

Don't recommend him- he didn't provide any exam, only talking on a brief video call for my senior relative and became angry and blurred out that he didn't have time for questions- and he's supposed to be a doctor for seniors and lastly became angry when we went in later in the week to ask for his notes from the appointment. read more

Dr. Mamita has been my elderly mother's doctor for a couple of years now. I was so impressed with how well he cares for her that I decided to make him my PCP. Then my husband also decided to make him his PCP. We've been very happy with Dr. Mamita's care. He's always been very nice to us and listens to our concerns and addresses them. He makes sure the medications we are taking are appropriate for our conditions. Dr. Mamita's staff are very nice and efficient. Sometimes there's a wait to see the doctor but the staff keep us up to date on how long the wait will be and offer a telephone appointment if we can't wait. We're very happy with Dr. Mamita! read more

Dr. Mamita has been my PCP for the last 2 years and is an excellent doctor. Reviewed my entire medical records and spent a lot of time with me making sure I am in good hands. He took care of my mother as well because he is a great Geriatrician. Refilled all my moms meds timely and she loved him. Best doctor I have had. read more

We selected Dr. Mamita because we were told that he conducts home visits which is ideal for my mom who is blind, wheelchair bound, on dialysis, and is suffering from anxiety. All appointments were easy to book and the office staff were very warm, friendly, and attentive. However, all three appointments we had were in his office because his schedule for home visits was already full. We arrived early or on time to all appointments and the office was always full of patients. On our second visit, scheduled for 3:30, we didn't get seen until 5 pm because he was running behind schedule. For the sake of time, I attempted to drop off IHSS paperwork for the doctor to fill out the day before our third office visit but was told that I had to bring it to my mom's appointment the next day because he likes to have the patient present to fill it out which makes sense. The following day, Dr. Mamita greeted us and asked what I needed filled out and told me that it was going to take time but proceeded filling it out anyway and then told me that he wanted $30 cash payable up front for filling out the form. I told him that it said on the front that Medi-Cal would reimburse him but he said he doesn't file claims with them because they don't pay. I told him that I was not informed that there would be a fee and he kept repeating, "If you don't want to pay, you don't have to pay." When he has finished with the paperwork he attempted to take my mom's blood pressure but told us it wasn't reading because she had to relax, so he listened to her heart and said see you next time. I had prescriptions to refill and wanted him to look at two skin irritations on my mom's hand and abdomen but he told me that he didn't have anymore time for her because he had already spent 30 minutes filling out her paperwork. My dad didn't hear him and asked me why he didn't look at my mom's skin so I told him in Spanish, "No tiene más tiempo," which translates into he doesn't have anymore time. Dr. Mamita yelled at me in my face and said, "Don't tell your dad that I didn't help your mom, I spent 30 minutes with her already and if you don't like it, you can find another primary doctor." I said, "I sure will." The nurse/receptionist at the front desk asked what happened and the two patients in the waiting room looked at me as well because I'm sure they heard him yelling at me and saw me very upset. I explained what happened and she explained the fees for the forms and offered to go talk to him but I just wanted to leave before I started crying. My mom was shaking and my dad was shocked that a doctor would snap in this manner. Perhaps he didn't understand what I said but he claims to be bilingual and has tried talking to my mom in Spanish even though I've told him that her primary language is English. While I was waiting to receive my paperwork, the doctor came back to the front desk and told me that I should take her to urgent care until I find a new doctor and to have a good day. It is what it is, I've read the other reviews as well and wish that I had read them before but now I realize that this was not an isolated case, there are others who had similar experiences, and maybe this is just a blessing in disguise. In all fairness, he was very quick to write prescriptions and filled out my mom's paperwork but I do believe a sign should be posted about additional fees for paperwork and that appointments are limited to 30 minutes to avoid misunderstandings like this in the future because $30 might seem like a small fee to a doctor but to a senior who is on a limited budget or someone who is working minimum wage it could be stressful to be hit with a hidden fee. read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. Had maybe 3 visits with this guy and 1 was very strange. My lawyers needed him to release paperwork for an accident I was in, which caused me vertigo and a concussion. I came in for a checkup and he immediately yelled at me and told me "if your lawyers want paperwork, they need to subpoena me" I was pretty confused. He then calmed down and acted like everything was all good, that was over a year ago. I meant or change my Primary care physician after this incident but never did and now because of COVID I was sort of stuck with him. I tried to find a new primary through my insurance company Aetna, but most doctors weren't taking new patients :/. I had a bad case of hives and had to go into him (already made a visit to urgent care and the meds didn't work.) I called early in the morning and they told me I had an appointment available for 230pm (great) so I called back around 1:30 to see if they were still cash only (who wants to go to the bank with a bad case of hives) but his receptionist said "no we take checks too". She also informed me that I would have to pay for a $100 deductible when my normal copay is $35. I asked why or what had changed. They proceeded to put me on hold, told me I hadn't paid for my $1500 deductible ???? I proceeded to tell them I have full coverage from my job and the other 3 times I visited their office I only paid the copay. She again place me on hold, picked the phone back up, and asked me what I wanted to do ... with no explanation. She then tried to place me on hold again but I told her I would call my insurance company and call them back (real inconvenient when your whole body is itching). My insurance confirmed everything I said was true and there was no reason for a $100 deductible. So we did a 3 way call to his office and this time Dr. Mamita answers (he never answers phone calls). She confirmed that he was an in network provider and that I should only pay a $35 co pay and asked what the $100 deductible was for. He said something about my flex pay spending (sounded like he was trying to commit insurance fraud) and she told him that he doesn't need to know that information. He then placed us on hold, in actuality 'mute'. The insurance rep from Aetna told me things weren't adding up and I responded I don't even feel safe going in at this point. He took his phone off mute and started yelling telling me if i didn't want to come in any more I could find a new doctor. My rep literally hung up the phone at that point and called me back to apologize for him. I never read his rep reviews but I see 3 other people had a similar experience. Short tempted doctor who really doesn't seemed interested in your health, but charging you top dollar to yell at you. Maybe the experience is different when your black or Hispanic. I wouldn't recommend this guy to anyone. I don't even know how he's a doctor. read more

Dr. Mamita saw my grandmother twice. There is no way this man should be a Geriatric Physician, for several reasons. 1. He refuses to communicate with individuals who are hearing impaired, not deaf, but hard of hearing. 2. He has an extremely short temper. 3. He makes numerous mistakes...he confused her with another patient and examined her as if she had diabetes and arthritis of the knee, neither of which, she has! He also changed two of her medications, which he said were outdated and would interact with her existing medicatios...then the pharmacy refused to fill the new medication because IT had interactios with her medications! It also seems inappropriate to change more than a medication at a time for a senior who has been on the same medications for years. Seems better to change 1 medication at a time to minimize impact on the patient. 5. He will NOT even listen to more than 3 issues! Literally, he puts his hand up and says no, no more than 3 issues. That doesn't make any sense to me for a doctor who provides care for seniors. I wouldn't recommend this doctor to my worst enemy. read more

No stars if I could. I switched my Mom to Dr. Mamita after conducting research. I have been waiting for over 3 weeks for him to return my calls to discuss my mom's care and medications. When my 88-year-old mom went to her latest appointment, I could not attend so I had my cousin go with her and put me on speaker phone. When I started asking questions, he got angry and told me to call his medical assistant to sign up for Patient Ally to view my mom's medical record that he did not have time to talk to me. When I told him that was unacceptable and also the long wait times that I would be taking my mom to another doctor, he told my mom that he wanted to be her doctor, but he did not want to deal with me and refused to care for her, he walked out of the room. Dr, Mamita was her PCP and for him to act this way is unacceptable. read more
