    I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Marks during my clinical rotation. Throughout my…read morerotation, I was allowed to continue seeing patients under her supervision. However, at the end of the rotation, Dr. Marks completed an evaluation stating that I was "unsafe" and lacked fundamental nurse practitioner knowledge in nearly every aspect of patient care. If Dr. Marks truly believed I was unsafe to provide patient care, I do not understand why I was allowed to continue seeing patients instead of being removed from clinical duties or provided with immediate remediation. Patient safety should always be the highest priority. Since completing my education, I have successfully become a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner. While I recognize that every student has areas for growth, I believe that if such serious concerns truly existed during my clinical rotation, they should have been addressed immediately through direct teaching, supervision, and a structured remediation plan rather than being documented only in a final evaluation after I had completed the rotation. The evaluation stated that I could not distinguish normal from abnormal physical exam findings, develop differential diagnoses, create treatment plans, document appropriately, or understand common medications and their side effects. If these concerns genuinely existed, I believe they should have been addressed in real time through teaching, direct supervision, and documented feedback--not presented only at the end of the rotation. A preceptor's responsibility is not only to evaluate students but also to mentor, teach, provide ongoing feedback, and intervene when patient safety is a concern. I would have welcomed honest, constructive feedback throughout my clinical experience so I could improve. Instead, I received an overwhelmingly negative final evaluation that did not reflect the level of guidance I was provided during the rotation. I entered my clinical rotation eager to learn and become a safe, competent nurse practitioner. I left feeling discouraged by the disconnect between the supervision I received and the final evaluation. I hope future students receive consistent mentorship, timely feedback, and appropriate intervention if serious concerns about their clinical competence truly exist.

    I am disappointed with this clinic. I was seen by a nurse practitioner. The doctor did not even see…read moreme. And they made me get my lab work done at their own lab and the lab technician was not experienced. She had difficulty drawing my blood and I ended up with a big swelling and multiple big bruises on my arm. I have been using Quest lab for the last 16 years and never had an issue. This is the first time I had my labs drawn at this clinic lab and I end up with all these bruises. It has been a week and no lab results available. I have been calling them and they keep telling me results are not in. These are my annual physical labs and Quest lab used to have my results available the following day on their website and on their lab. I recommend you never this lab. I will never use it again and will try to find another doctor.

    Santa Maria Clinic - I had a stroke and sadly, I may need surgery. This isn't the clinic that knows anything about it.
