Dr Carlson has been my PCP for over 6 years and I just love her. Her staff is so nice and…read moreefficient. Dr Carlson takes a very personal approach with her care, where she almost feels like a family member because she wants to know about how you feel and what you've been up to since she saw you last to ensure she can offer real advice that will apply to you, not a textbook stock response. She really listens when you're describing symptoms or ailments and takes notes in your chart as you converse. She offers options, never hesitates to suggests further testing yet doesn't order unnecessary labs or tests either. If your schedule is flexible, you can often get a same or next day appt. To give you an idea of how wonderful she is, I drive 30+ miles to see her and there are plenty of options much closer to home.

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.

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.

I want to start by separating the quality of the medical professionals I have encountered from my…read moreexperience with Mangrove Medical as an organization. The doctor I work with is incredibly knowledgeable, as have been the medical assistants and nurses I've encountered. My criticism is not directed at them. My problem is with the administrative practices surrounding that care. The waiting room is routinely crowded, and the practice operates at an obviously high volume. Despite that, Mangrove imposes an extraordinarily high cancellation fee on patients. I receive medical care in Sacramento and the Bay Area, including through specialty practices, and I have not encountered cancellation fees comparable to what Mangrove charges. That policy is particularly galling given Mangrove's own relationship with appointment times. I have been seeing my provider for more than a year, and by my estimate, they run about 30 minutes behind on average. Yet after waiting, my appointments frequently feel rushed. I rarely spend more than 10 minutes with my provider. Waiting half an hour or more only to feel hurried through the few minutes I actually receive with my doctor is neither attentive care nor respectful of a patient's time. My experiences trying to address these delays with the front desk have been similarly frustrating. Communication about delays and their impact on patients has been consistently poor and, at times, dismissive. The result is an unpleasant double standard: patients are expected to arrive on time, accommodate Mangrove's chronic delays, accept brief appointments when we are finally seen, and pay an exorbitant fee if we cannot meet their cancellation requirements. Mangrove does not appear to hold itself to anything approaching the same standard. For patients with limited options for primary care, there is also little practical ability to simply take our business elsewhere. That makes these policies and practices even more frustrating. I wish the administrative side of Mangrove reflected the knowledge and professionalism I have experienced from the medical staff themselves. After more than a year as a patient, the disparity between the two has become impossible to overlook.

If she even suspects an issue, she gives it her full attention. No nose in a computer, or rushing you out as quickly as she can. I am now in Medicare, with Medi Cal secondary. Never have I been denied optimum care because of insurance issues. Perhaps this is because I am an established patient. Unfortunately with the new healthcare system as it is, many doctors have to worry about their bottom line. This is a sad state of affairs, but for another page. If you can get a referral to Dr. Nelson, and get in to see her do it. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
