Recently, we contacted and paid this organization to transport a severely ill (dying) veteran from San Diego to Northern California to his home for his final days. The patient required medical personnel along for the ride and had intensive needs. I paid 3700.00 for this. All of this was clearly communicated by email from the nurse at the care facility where the patient was being transported from. This company sent a van with a gurney and a guy with a CPR card... Obviously, this did not meet our needs and no services were rendered. To this day, no refund or offer of refund has been made or received despite zero services being rendered. You are honestly just as well off using an Uber. I do have a dispute case in through the credit card company. We'll see.

There are a great many optometrists in our little County of Madera. All educated, accredited,…read morecompetent professionals. It is difficult to choose one that has openings in their schedule, takes my insurance, is conveniently located, and that I would trust my eyes to. Jelen Optometry is all that to me. And more. At Jelen Optometry, I have always been treated as an individual. There is more to this than trust and comfort: there is logic, as follows. Jelen Optometry has twice the square footage of your average solo optometrist. This allows the equipment needed for each step of the eye exam to be in an efficient sequence, and separate from the next step. The equipment itself is state-of-the-art; perfectly maintained and clean. You would be happy if other aspects of your life ran on their schedule. Firstly, Jelen Optometry doesn't double-book appointments. To me, the patient, this means if I arrive at two-twenty for a two-twenty appointment, I will be seen at two-twenty. Secondly, this efficiency is not achieved by sacrificing an unrushed, thorough examination. On the contrary, the time saved through proper management is passed on as a dividend to the patient, who receives personal, professional care in whatever time the doctor--not the clock--deems necessary. A word about the doctor, Dr. Jelen: There is an extra measure of care and precision in his thoroughness. Even the better optometrists have had me return to remake imprecise corrective lenses, or their prescription. Dr. Jelen spends more time getting the details right so that our time isn't wasted later. When the glasses are done they're done. You can't do better for accuracy. No one is going to care more about your optical health than Dr. Jelen.

A couple of weeks ago there was a misunderstanding between myself and Dr Jelen's office staff about…read moremy coverage. VSP called the office to verify and clarify my current coverage. After being treated so rudely by the office, I decide I would look elsewhere to order my glasses. Today, I learned that Dr Jelen's office staff had put an exclusive "hold" on my account stating I could only receive services at his office. The Clinician had to call VSP and verify my identity and remove the "hold" on my account! This is retaliation for asking for clarification and is unacceptable. I will find a new Optometrist.

I received good care from the dentists here, but I found their business side predatory and…read moredishonest. I showed up for a routine cleaning to find that they no longer accepted Delta Insurance (they did not inform me of this change ahead of time). I chose to cancel my appointment and my wife's, which was scheduled soon after. The business manager met with me, and said that because they hoped to keep us as customers (and hoped to resume taking Delta by our next appointments), they would waive the charge for both my appointment and wife's if we did not cancel them. All went well until they were unable to resume taking Delta, and we had to change to another dentist (which provided superior care AND covered 100% of our dental expenses under Delta). Then, we suddenly began receiving bills for the appointments the business manager had waived. It seems that if they couldn't get us to pay cash for future appointments, rather than use our insurance (a cost of well over $1000 a year just for cleanings and exams), then they were going to do their best to squeeze what they could out of us, and were not going to let ethics or integrity get in the the way of a little money. I've talked to them on the phone, in person, and written to them. At first, they confirmed that the cost should have been waived. But they just keep sending bills for the amount they previously waived. I don't even know if that office manager still works there, and there's likely no one who now remembers a conversation from that long ago. It's a pain to deal with them constantly trying to collect less than $300 they are not owed. I think it's been two years of harassment from them. But they did me a favor too, and I hope it's one for you too if you're looking for a dentist in Merced. There are so many dishonest dentists preying on patients. I thought I'd found an honest one in El Portal. As stressful as this is, it likely saved me far more money in the long run by forcing me to leave them before getting taking advantage of by their unscrupulous business practices. Steer clear! I know it can be hard to find a new dentist in Merced, but don't settle for a practice you can't trust. Update: June 2026 I was contacted again by this business. They confirmed that I did not owe the approximately $300 they keep sending me invoices for. However, they instead claimed that I received a check from Delta Dental for about $90 several years ago, which they believed they were entitled to. They confirmed that they would continue (knowingly) sending me bills for the larger amount, but that if I paid what they believed I would actually owed, they would stop. I still have not received an invoice or any written documentation for what they now say I owe, and there's no way I'm just going to send them a check based on a voicemail and hope everything works out. This was followed up by a later voicemail threatening to "send me to debt collections," but they did not specify whether they would be trying to send to collections for the less than $300 they are (knowingly) falsely invoicing me for or the $90 they now claim I owe. I've requested that they send an invoice and documentation for what they actually believe I owe, while alerting them to my concerns that their continuing to send false invoices appears to be criminal. The saga continues. Again, avoid this business!

Love the dentists and hygienist. Major concern for the front staff who handles billing. I had…read moremaxed out on my insurance benefits and was never informed that my cleaning would cost $250 out of pocket. I arrived to my appointment with a surprise bill vs. canceling and "donating" $50 for a late cancelation. I clearly would have canceled my appointment if i was made aware of the cost. The woman in charge of billing decided to argue with me, claiming that she informed me last time but never did. I received a bad attitude and no apology. I decided to pay $150 for some flossing rather than wasting $50. You should inform your staff to do their job and notify clients of upfront costs so we can make an informed decision. And a little customer service would go a long way. I advise anyone who goes here to ask repeatedly about future appointment costs since staff delivers unreliable communication.

Great Hospice If you're looking for one where the nurses only come once a week and spend 15 minutes…read morewith you, and when you need them, they say they'll call you back and don't, or promise to send medication and don't, or when you text them a message, you receive a response, which is basically getting chastised like you're a little child & a burden. My mother was put on this hospice by her doctor. When they came out, they promised the moon and stars and told me that they would be here for me and my mom anytime, 24/7, and to never be afraid to call or text them.... The nurse came out once and couldn't get out of here fast enough... Then a few days ago, my mom was vomiting uncontrollably, like 2 1/2 cups, and she's 83 years old. So I contacted them, and they said to give her Zofran rather than coming out. The next day, my mom began vomiting uncontrollably again, and I contacted the nurse, and she said that she would call me back within 30 to 60 minutes. She never called me back. It wasn't until later that night that she responded and told me that she could get me some Zofran by 11 PM at night!!! Well, the Zofran never arrived, and I was searching for respite care and found another company that said they offered respite care, but my mom had to be a patient, and they could do a lateral transfer. So I let this company know that I would be doing the lateral transfer. Before I had even met the new company or signed any papers, this hospice discharged my mother and refused to offer her any assistance for her extreme vomiting. What I was told is that there is what's called a "lateral transfer," which means the original hospice does not stop offering services until the new hospice is set up... Well, this hospice discharged my mother before I had even met the new hospice and refused to help her at all with her nausea which lasted for a day and a half as they discharged her before she was admitted to the new hospice, couldn't stop vomiting and ended up having to go to the emergency room to get fluids which was not part of the advanced directive It's supposed to be what's called a lateral transfer so that the patient is not without care at any point in time. In my opinion, this hospice either has way too many patients or this is the "welfare version of hospice." I won't mention the name of the new hospice, but their nurses will come out four times a week, they offer respite care, and they are more of the Mercedes of hospices, and it's totally free through my mother's insurance. I won't name them, as I'm sure they don't want to be involved with this review, but do your research, talk to friends and family, and don't make the mistake I made of just going with whoever you're told to go with... If I could give them no stars, I would. The social worker was amazing, as was the chaplain, but the rest of the team utterly FAILED to even give my mom the most basic of care when she needed it most. Hey yelp... We need a zero star option!
