The children's hospital said I would have died that day had she not caught it; my kidneys reached 0% functioning while I was in the ambulance. She is the best doctor I ever had and if I still lived in the Valley she would absolutely be my pediatrician of choice when I have kids of my own. Medical care in Merced is generally absysmal, but she is a light in the darkness.

Dr. Asadi is a GREAT physician! She's hands down the best we've found since we moved to this area…read more She's professional, extremely knowledgeable and experienced and has a fantastic way with kids! Her personality is quite mellow but don't be fooled by this. She's calm and relaxed but is often able to discern with laser pinpoint precision what exactly is wrong and how to help our children within minutes! Another great thing is that she isn't one of those rotten doctor's offices that quadruple books a 15 minute time slot to make money but make you and your kids suffer for three hours in a room full of sick kids. Every pediatrician has done this in the area. Again, she is a professional and provides a professional environment. She even has a special section for infants so they can be shielded from the sick bigger kids. Dr. Asadi is the best!

No, I would not recommend Dr Mohamed E. Eldaly (Emanuel Specialty Care Medical Oncology - Turlock,…read moreCalifornia). My mother received treatment from Dr. Eldaly and he would not listen to her, she did not get the care she deserved. We told him multiple times the treatment was not working and he refused to listen to her. When we had office visits we told him multiple times how bad she was doing and he was dismissive. With my experience and in my opinion Dr. Eldaly is arrogant, condescending, and dismissive.

I attached 2 photos to give substance & proof that the person registering me for my annual Women's…read moreWellness visit was grossly incorrect in her delivery of "accurate" information to me as far as what my out-of-pocket was going to be. I responded saying that I've had this same information and have already contacted my healthcare company prior to today's visit to learn of the co-pay I would have which is typically $40 for this type of service; a bilateral mammogram. She continued to "educate me" on the "why" and "what" reasons and coverages set by my insurance, not the facility. She was still grossly incorrect in the information. She explained to me that I first have to satisfy my deductible and or maximum out-of-pocket limits Anthem set and that is the "why" the estimated out-of-pocket of $811.45 was accurate and that $800 of that amount is going to satisfy the deductible. I was already under stress, fear, and uncertainty about the dates radiological procedures because my paternal aunt just died of metastasized breast cancer which also engulfed her bones. So now I've got an employee lecturing me at length as to "why this information of $811.45 is absolutely correct as per my health insurance and the mandatory deductible due". I have a soft spot for this Emanuel Cancer Center and have been having my female health needs done here when I could go elsewhere. I have just always felt as safe as I could while here. I'm not going to stop coming here however just because of this unfortunate yet preventable business office fiasco but I would like to see this type of unnecessarily stressful situation become extinct. I think the worst of it is either the employee was disallowed to behave any other way or, incorrect training maybe? They could also reach out to leadership with Anthem BC and inform them of these unacceptable outcomes when inquiring for patient services. Either way, all 3 options could lead to higher patient satisfaction ratings and less stress & anxiety for everyone involved.

From my very first visit, he was incredibly kind, thorough, and took the time to truly understand what was going on with my knee. He performed an arthroscopic meniscusectomy, and the entire experience went incredibly well. Thanks to his skill, I am already walking completely free of discomfort and am finally able to get back to my active lifestyle. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Beauchman's care, and his support staff is equally wonderful--always encouraging, helpful, and welcoming. If you want a surgeon who listens, gets the diagnosis right, and delivers amazing results, look no further. I am so incredibly grateful to the whole team!

I don't usually write Yelp reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I feel others…read moreshould be aware. Dr. Beauchman was kind, respectful, and professional during my visit. Unfortunately, my experience with the office management was the complete opposite. I called several times to speak with the office manager, only to later find out she had already left for the day. The staff seemed unaware of her availability, which reflected poor communication within the office. I've also spoken with friends who have been seen at this office, and they shared similar frustrations about how difficult it is to get in contact with Manager Maira. I genuinely believe the office would benefit from management that leads with professionalism, compassion, and clear communication. The staff seemed to lack the support and guidance that strong leadership should provide, and I think the overall patient experience would improve significantly with better management. Because of this experience, I won't be recommending Valley River Orthopedics. Merced already has too few healthcare offices that consistently provide compassionate customer service, so it was especially disappointing to encounter this level of hospitality.

Dr. Kris Madhu & the entire staff are exceptional medical/health professionals…read more My 73 year old mom is a patient of Dr. Kris Madhu. She had an endoscopy and colonoscopy procedure. Dr. Kris Madhu and the staff were very informative, and very patient with answering all of my questions (I'm my mom's caregiver). Dr. Kris Madhu has an angel like gift for caring for his patients. He is sincere in helping provide care, compassion and empathy. My mom and me felt heard, again the Dr. and staff were so patient in truly helping understand what my mom was going through. Turns out my mom has a hiatal hernia, is very anaemic, and has an ulceration. Dr. Kris Madhu carefully informed us of my mom's condition, walked through next steps (CT Scan) (medications) and scheduled a follow up visit. It's a blessing to know that Dr. Kris Madhu and the entire staff create a consistent professional and caring environment for patients and their caregivers. I recommend anyone who is looking for a professional, experienced, knowledgeable and caring Dr, and staff, to make an appointment with Dr. Kris Madhu.
