On Saturday March 21, 2026, I walked into the Shasta Regional emergency room with chest pain. I…read morehave a history of coronary artery disease and eight coronary stents placed over the past 20 years. I told them this. My EKG and initial troponin were negative, and from that point forward I was invisible. I sat in the waiting room for four hours. No monitoring. No IV. No serial troponin draws. No cardiology consult. No one came to check on me. No one told me what was happening or how long I would wait. I was a cardiac patient with eight stents and active chest pain, sitting in a plastic chair next to everyone else. After four hours with zero treatment or communication, I left. The next day I went to Mercy Medical Center by ambulance. Within hours I was in the cath lab. They found a 99% calcified occlusion of my right coronary artery -- so severe that a balloon couldn't open it. The vessel cracked during the procedure. They had to use a cutting balloon and place a stent to save the artery. My troponin was zero. That means my heart muscle was starving but hadn't died yet. I caught it just in time. If that last 1% had closed while I was sitting in your waiting room with no monitor and no IV -- I would have had a massive heart attack in a plastic chair with no one watching. I understand you are understaffed. I understand the ER is busy. But a patient with eight stents and active chest pain is not someone you park in a lobby and forget about. If you don't have the capacity to triage a high-risk cardiac patient appropriately, you tell them. You facilitate a transfer. You do something other than nothing. Four hours of nothing nearly cost me my life.

Brought my wife in with a badly broken arm ... badly. They…read moresent us home (didn't even splint it) with a script for Morphine and instructions to call our primary on Monday. X-ray is all they did, and it looks knarly. Didn't even make a consultation appointment. Do yourself a favor, don't take my word for it, read the reviews here. Unfortunately, the other one is almost as bad. I told my doc if I ever get hurt badly, I'd put a tourniquet on the stump, throw the part in the trunk, and head to Sacramento. This place is not fit to treat my dog; I like her too much.

This clinic effectively refused to see a burn victim because he was from out of town…read more My friend sustained a bad burn at a gas station checking his engine. We drove to three different urgent cares (all closed) before calling Hilltop and making sure they were open. They told us to fill out an online form and that a nurse could help him triage from the car (because we were from out of town they didn't want us to enter). However, when we arrived, they changed their tune, saying they "may not" be able to see him and that they would have to decide. After begging a rude receptionist over the phone who ignored my friend's pain and made his urgent need for help about her ("I'm sorry sir I do t know who you spoke to before but you don't need to take it out on me!") Someone came out and told us to take pictures of the burn and email them, and they *may* be able to see him in 2 hours. Keep in mind he has a bad burn and is in need of immediate treatment. We decided to leave and seek help at a pharmacy instead. Who knew you could get better help for free from the staff at CVS inside Target than the people at a an urgent care clinic... The website says the 5 physicians started this clinic to help patients with minor emergencies. Looks like they strayed from the path. We were treated like second class citizens here. If your care needs are urgent, I urge you to reconsider seeking help from Hilltop.

I went to PUC when I was bit by a dog. I saw Vanessa Demoss who has seen me before. She is so…read morepatient and provides such excellent care in my opinion. She listens attentively and lets you get your questions and concerns out without making you feel rushed. She takes the time to answer any and all my questions never making me feel like I'm asking too many or I need to hurry up. She always explains why a certain medication will work better than another and not only that she's just very kind and compassionate. It makes me feel like I'm always in good hands. Also, I would like to say that Prestige urgent care is awesome. Anytime I've called the receptionist at the front desk have always answered my questions or if I had a question for my doctor, they gave the message to the doctor and got back to me just like they said they would. The medical assistance that have called me back to answer questions have all been nothing but wonderful. For this reason, I decided to join the monthly membership. I feel like I have a place I can go and take care of all my health needs in one spot, which is really nice. I've been to all the most urgent cares in Redding and I'm not trying to say anything bad about the other ones but for me and what I experienced I just feel like there's no comparison. They are more organized and efficient and have always provided top-notch Excellent care.

Patient for over 10 years. No personal connection with your Doctors. Doctors change often and…read moreyou're not allowed to consult with your Dr for urgent matter unless you can get an appt which is typically months out. Have gone without my RX multiple times due to front office staff not following through with requests, not submitting PA's, and when I try to explain the importance of my RX and aide effects of not being on it, they just say, "Sorry, you'll just have to wait." I ask to speak with my Dr and im told no. My insurance and pharmacy want to help but can't because of the Dr office neglect. They know they can act however they want because there is no accountability and you can't leave because there no Dr's in the area.

My friend recently accompanied her 83-year-old mother, who has dementia and a history of a brain…read moreinjury with residual bleeding, to an appointment with Dr. Khalid Mohamood Md. They were under the impression that they needed to see him in order to obtain a referral to a specialist. During the appointment, my friend began explaining her mother's medical history and the reason for the visit. Unfortunately, Dr. Mohammad immediately became argumentative and repeatedly stated that her mother needed a specialist. My friend calmly explained that she understood this and that obtaining a referral was the reason they were there. Despite this clarification, he continued interrupting and raising his voice rather than listening to the concerns being presented. As the conversation became increasingly frustrating, my friend raised her voice in an attempt to explain the situation once again. She was then asked to leave the exam room, despite being her mother's primary caregiver, advocate, and support person. As she was leaving, she was reportedly told that she was no longer allowed in the building. The nursing staff were kind, professional, and compassionate when she later explained what had happened. However, she was unable to speak with a supervisor regarding the incident. Working with elderly patients, especially those with dementia and complex medical conditions, requires patience, empathy, and effective communication. In this case, those qualities were noticeably absent. Rather than taking the time to listen and understand the situation, the doctor appeared rushed, dismissive, and unwilling to engage in a productive conversation. Patients who cannot advocate for themselves depend on family members to do so, and that role should be respected rather than discouraged

Injury on 6/30/23, surgery on 7/17/24. Had to have my regular Dr. from Corning make contact with this office or I would still be waiting until 11/6/24 for surgery. Dr. Brubaker specifically told me to contact if stronger pain med is needed after surgery. I contacted Friday, 7/19/24 by 8:30 AM. I also contacted yesterday, 7/24/24 as I need stronger pain med, a walker that is too narrow for proper use, & crutches that are literally falling apart after 1 yr of daily use. Still can't get stronger pain med as I was assured by the SURGEON that he would prescribe me if I needed them. The office staff is not doing their jobs. What I am going through and have gone through with this office is patient abuse & neglect. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT A STAFF THAT DOES THEIR JOBS CORRECTLY!!!!
