    I called this morning to ask a simple question regarding establishing primary care and when the…read morenext available appointment they have. I was patched over to another line without no warning that my call was going to be transferred. For a moment I thought my call dropped but then it started ringing. I let it rang for a good minute and no answer. I ended the call and called them back. This time some lady answered and I posed my question. I was informed their soonest available appointments would be in January 2026. I was about to thank her for the info but she hung up on me before I could get a word in. I knew not to see any medical profession in Oroville, exclude pediatricians, because they are unreliable, lack customer service, empathy and sympathy. I guess Chico will continue to be my go to.

    I had a doctor here some time ago. Once I showed up for my appointment and they told me I didn't…read morehave an appointment eventhought I had an appointment card with the date and time. Another time I was told I missed my appointment by an hour, again I had an appointment card with the time. I was just referred to a specialist here and had an appointment for 2:30. With the history I've had with them, I called and checked and they moved my appointment to 2:00 without telling me. The only thing she could tell me that it was changed by the clinic. No notice, just changed. Here we go again. If you must go here check and double check thier work, the support staff here is terrible.

    In 2007 I gave birth to my first daughter. She was only 5 lbs. 7 oz., and I quickly found out that…read moremy health was not stable. Gaining 30 lbs in one month and completely unable to get out of bed, let alone care for her,  I went to my doctor. She tested my thyroid and told me everything was fine. When I fought back saying everything was not fine she agreed, condescendingly, to send me to an endocrinologist. I was quickly diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and placed placed on Synthroid. "You take this pill every morning, and you won't have to worry about this anymore." If I had a nickel  for every time a member of the medical community said that to me, my family and I could on a Disney cruise! For the following five years. I struggled with infertility. Eight miscarriages followed; many injections, many tests, and no answers.  The weight fluctuations continued, as did the out of control rage that could overtake me causing out of body experiences. Why couldn't I calm myself down? I had a doctor laugh me out of his room when I said I had heart palpitations, and suggest I undergo psychiatric treatment for trauma. My feet hurt, my head hurt, my house was a mess, muscle pain and muscle weakness abounded and more than anything I was exhausted. The list goes on and on. In January 2013 I gave birth to a healthy 7 lbs. 1 oz. baby girl. Immediately following her birth, I again crashed. I gained 50 pounds in one month. I produced absolutely no milk, as with my first. And every doctor that I went to see told me to eat less. At this point I was a vegetarian, having just changed over from vegan during my pregnancy. There aren't enough carrots in the world to get me up to the 267 pounds I was. It was a nurse who pulled me aside and told me it wasn't my fault. That it was Hashimoto's disease. I finally took my health into my own hands. I started to research Hashimoto's disease, finding out that it was an autoimmune disease. Imagine that, five years of struggling with an autoimmune disease and not one single doctor declaring it as such to the patient. I fired my healthcare provider and found new insurance and subsequently met and broke up with at least 20 medical professionals. I found that being gluten-free made me feel better, however every medical professional I talked to told me cutting gluten out of my diet was pointless. We have come to find I have celiac's. When my second daughter was a toddler I had the good fortune of coming across Dr. Nagel's name on a list of doctors worth seeing. All of them were further than one hour from my home. The list had been created by patients who had been mistreated just as I had. They had finally located decent doctors, and placed them on a list based on the kinds of tests they would run and the treatment they would give. It was clear at my first appointment that this doctor was different. Dr. Nagel was so warm, and confident. He asked me questions no other Dr. had ever asked. Is your hair normally this curly? How do your feet feel? Can I see your fingernails, please? He ran tests and called me back for a second appointment. He was matter-of-fact and comforting about his findings, "You have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and you need to be put on bio-identical Estrogen and Progesterone. I'm also going to switch you over to Naturethroid, and I will continue to raise or lower your dose based on symptoms as well as tests." He also was fairly certain that I was prediabetic and suffered with vitamin deficiencies. He placed his hand comfortingly on my knee and said, "This isn't your fault. It's not your fault you are obese, it is not your fault that you have no libido, and I can fix it." I couldn't stop the tears from falling. Fix it he did. He placed me on an auto immune Paleo diet, and set me up with a nutritionist. Turns out I was fairly knowledgeable about nutrition but I had no idea how to go about losing this extra weight as a woman with PCOS and Hashimoto's disease. In the words of Dr. Nagel, "This isn't your fault, you could gain weight on a TicTac" I have been seeing Dr. Nagel for four years now and I will let my pictures speak for themselves. He's not just a doctor; he is an angel. Thank you Dr. Nagel for saving my life.

    His vitamins and supplements were helpful, however, you could get the same thing anywhere. He was…read morerude and tried to make me feel like I don't work out enough (CrossFit 3-4 days a week), or that I wasn't being honest about my workouts since I wasn't loosing weight on his regimen. Also his nurse is very insensitive to a very sensitive topic. When I told her my weight, she replied "whoa, that's heavy". After I had lost 8 lbs she acted like it was nothing. I am giving him 1 star because the visit with the nutritionist was helpful but overall I was very disappointed with the money and time spent with him. I was expecting kindness and understanding, I left feeling fat shamed and judged. I have had much better success with Midi Health.
