WOW. I cannot believe how UNPROFESSIONAL this facility is. We went in for our newborn daughters…read more1-month appointment where she needed her second dose of a Hep B vaccine. Well, turns out they had "just ran out". We thought okay, this is weird but I guess it can happen. The doctor informed us, our daughter can have the Hep B vaccine on her 2-month visit, along with the other vaccines. We agreed, believing the unfortunate situation to be a fluke and scheduled our daughter for her 2-month appointment. Well we go in for her 2-month appointment, wait approximately one hour, an the nurse informed us the facility had "just ran out" of the vaccine our daughter needs. We were in complete disbelief! We had cleared out our schedules, asked for the day off from work to take our daughter to get her 2-month shots but again we were not able to since they had ran out of the vaccine. Keep in mind this appointment was made a month in advance. I just don't understand how they were not prepared for our appointments, after all that is what an appointment is for. We have received appointment reminders one day before, why not advise us over the phone the vaccines for our daughter will not be available. Instead we both take time off from work, drive 30 minutes and wait one hour to be notified in person by a nurse they have ran out of the vaccines our daughter needs. We addressed the issue and expressed our concerns on these type of situations reoccurring to the Office Manager, Andrea. Andrea informed us these types of situations are common at this facility. I will no longer have my daughter be a patient here & do not recommend Olivewood Pediatrics to others.

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.

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!

I took my daughter to Valley Children's clinic in Merced. She was diagnosed with having a…read morepilomatricoma (similar to a small cyst) on her neck. The doctor said that it could easily be removed with surgery. Before the surgery was scheduled, the clinic sent me an estimate of what the operation would cost. The estimate was just over $13,000. A friend of mine suggested contacting a dermatologist to avoid putting her through surgery. The dermatologist said that removing it would be a simple in-office procedure. We decided that was the better of the two options. As planned, the doctor numbed the area, removed the small protrusion, put a few stitches in, and sent her on her way. The cost was around $400. My question is: WHY WOULDN'T VALLEY CHILDREN'S EXPLAIN THAT AN OPERATION WASN'T NECESSARY IN THIS CASE? Why was surgery with an anesthesiologist recommended rather than opting for a much simpler (and less expensive) in-office procedure? I have one additional complaint to offer here. The one-time office visit to Valley Children's clinic (explained above) lasted about 15 minutes. I received a doctor's bill for that visit and paid it right away. Later I received a separate bill from the clinic and questioned what the requested $189 was for. It seems that the clinic is entitled to charge a patient for walking in the door. That charge is separate from the doctor's charge. To me, this doesn't seem fair. While I do believe Valley Children's Hospital and clinics help many kids with major medical problems, they are definitely an over-priced alternative to other avenues of medical care. In this case, I believe the non-profit organization was being intentionally deceitful.

Not easy after what she has been thru, but he was always kind and gentle with her thru out her pregnancy. He made the decision to deliver her at 38 weeks. She went thru three days of labor and Dr Johnston was a prince. He is calm and reassuring and in the moment it is called for he is clear and commanding. He was in her room in minutes when she suddenly spiked a fever. When she began to deliver he was all business. His team is like a ballet to watch - everyone in their place and in point! He walked in and clearly told her exactly what he needed her to do and she instantly zeroed in on him. She had a beautiful baby boy and we are so happy! In addition it should be noted that his entire staff is amazing , the hospital nurses love him and respect him as much as his patients. None of us can figure out how the man gets any sleep - we witnessed him going to several rooms and delivering babies within minutes! He is a phenomenal Doctor- we are blessed to have him in Merced!!!

I kid you not every single day that i was pregnant i was sick. smells, even standing up made me sick. I would feel starving i would eat then it would come back up over and over. I would sweat from every pore in my body and feel like i wanted to faint. All things i reported to dr. Johnston. Nothing was looked into. I gained so much weight my stretch marks were ripping and becoming sores. I went to a doctor about it and was humiliated when the doctor was in such shock but offered no help. I didn't realize this wasn't right until my second pregnancy when i only gained 25 lbs. From the moment i got pregnant i had diabetes. How did he not recognize this? It could have taken mine and my babies life. My son was so big he was born not breathing due to being stuck on my pelvic bone. they called code blue it was the most horrifying experience of my life.
