Unfortunately I was in an car accident in March of 2017 when my car was struck. After nearly an…read moreyear of frustration and horrific pain I was referred to Dr. Brindle. I am forever grateful for the recommendation I received from Dr. Stephen Hankins for Dr. Brindle. Parking can be difficult but thankfully they offer complimentary valet service. Dr. Brindle and his staff including his nurse practitioner Victoria Flower are wonderful. Dr. Brindle recommended that I have an laminectomy and microdisectomy due to the injury I sustained in which my L4-L5 disc was badly protruding and pressing on my nerve root. I was nervous because it required hospitalization. Dr. Brindle put me at ease. I was hospitalized one extra day for pain management and to ensure I could properly conquer the staircase at home. Appointments are easily made via phone. If you require surgery Dr. Brindle and his staff do an great job ensuring you have the proper follow up afterwards. The surgery I had was what has been the career killer for Tiger Woods and has plagued him. I went into things with the mindset this was an one shot deal because everyone I've encountered that's had multiple spine surgeries is miserable. I'm happy to say I'm doing great. I resumed walking right away and an week and an half post op I walked fifteen miles. I couldn't be happier and more thankful. I'm forever indebted to Dr. Brindle. I'm pain free and with the exception of some range of motion issues that may not improve I'm physically better than I have been in some time.

I used to Live in Auburn Ca yrs ago. I also used to see Doctor Ashley. She helped me in every way…read morepossible, not only with Migraines, but with other ailments as well. I have Lupus and many other illnesses. Doctor Ashley always wanted to get to the bottom of things, including diet, and vitamins as well. She is so young and Beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. I truly Loved her and her staff including Jenette. I often wondered what happened to them as I miss her and think of her. I hope she reads this and contacts me one day. Doctor Ashley if you read this look me up on FB. You can't ask for a better Doctor than her, I still recommend people to her, But Now I see she left, I am so sad to hear this, I hope she is happy where ever she is at. Raeleen N.

Someone called after several weeks with info that Dr Ashley was gone - no details. That said, I found Dr Ashley quite forthcoming with helpful information, going above and beyond on details and recommendations. I hesitated on further visits after seeing stickers (from political fringe media) on the inside of the exam room door - very unprofessional and uncomfortable to see. Moot point now.

I had an appointment with Dr. Hassid requesting treatment for Chronic Sleep Apnea. I brought two…read moreovernight sleep lab reports and he wrote the Rx for the CPAP machine. Then his staff REFUSED to make just one quick phone call to Lincare to get the Rx filled. It took six phone calls on my part to eventually force the staff to do their job. My appointment was October 23rd and it was not until October 31st that the staff finally broke down and grudgingly agreed to do one four minute phone call to get the Durable Medical Equipment Rx filled. Dr. Eric Hassid's medical assistant Ladill is incompetent and lazy. She kept insisting I had to call Lincare to get the Rx filled and it was "not in her job description to do this". When I tried to explain to her that Durable Medical Equipment suppliers do NOT deal directly with patients she kept insisting "do it yourself". Basically, I was thrown under the bus. She has very poor communication skills and lacks "active listening skills". I spent one hour with Dr. Eric Hassid during my appointment. 50% of the session was regarding getting the CPAP machine for Chronic Sleep Apnea. The other 50% of the session was discussing 20 years of severe chronic pain I experience from when I was rear ended by a 10 ton UPS truck at 60 mph. Dr. Eric Hassid never bothered to even mention that Sutter Health has a chronic pain management support program and he did not bother to give me any semblance of a treatment plan for this medical condition. After my appointment ended, I picked up a brochure at the front desk which explained the variety of services this clinic offers. It was only by accident that I discovered Sutter Health DOES OFFER chronic pain management services. What Dr. Eric Hassid actually DID do was hand me a list of over $200 of vitamins/supplements he sells in the reception area of his office. Is he a vitamin/supplement pill salesman - or is he practicing medicine and providing patient care appropriate to his client's needs? His staff is incompetent, especially his medical assistant. Both Ladill and Sarah told me on the phone "it is not my job description to make one four minute phone call to get your Durable Medical Equipment prescription filled, do it yourself". This is in direct violation of the well established protocol for obtaining Durable Medical Equipment. Optigen, Apria, Lincare DO NOT EVER deal directly with patients - any more than a patient could walk into a pharmacy and ask for Rx medication without FIRST the doctor creating a prescription. I was "thrown under the bus" by this clinic. My primary care doctor at Dignity Health left his job a few months ago, and moved out of town. I was going to enroll with Sutter Health for a brand new primary care doctor but NO WAY would I do that, nor would I ever go back to this clinic for follow up care. It functions as a vitamin pill/supplement retail store NOT patient care. I was "thrown under the bus". Badly done! I was Dr. Eric Hassid's patient when he had his own clinic in Davis, back around 2006. It was not Sutter Health - and there was more cohesion in treatment plans and the staff was excellent at the old Davis clinic. I think Sutter Health is a "Hot Mess" with inept, substandard lack of rudimentary communication skills, poorly trained staff who lack a work ethic and do not want to lift a finger to help patients. None of the staff at this clinic during my first visit told me there was a Patient Portal online that I needed to register in. I only discovered this on my own efforts. Nobody gave me the It should NOT have taken SIX phone calls over the course over ten days to have a very simple task performed by the staff of this office.

Dr Hassid is bar none one of the best Medical Doctors I have ever encountered. NOT only is he…read morebrilliant but more importantly he has an open mind, is humble and does not think that he knows EVERYTHING! His approach is truly ...FIRST DO NO HARM. So many Doctors now a days prescribe drugs that they do not have adequate knowledge of, Dr Hassid is more thoughtful re this than I have have found other Doctors to be. His practice in integrative which really means he will look at the whole picture; body, mind, spirit , lifestyle, diet etc. He is an exceptional, caring Doctor.

The girls in the front are always fast when it comes to paperwork and giving messages to Dr. Raina- they are always polite & friendly. Thank you so much to Dr. Raina and his amazing staff for always being so kind and compassionate to my daughter.

The office staff are very rude, don't answer phones often and never return voicemails. I am on a few medications that require prior authorization every couple of months; however, I've gone weeks at a time without being medicated because they won't answer the phone or answer my voicemail or the pharmacist's request for a pre authorization for my refills. I've gone in person to make my requests and they assure me they'll do it but a week later when I follow up, I call my insurance and they say they haven't received anything. I call the office back and on a rare occasion, someone answered and she laughed and said, "I don't know what to tell you", we did what you asked. I then tell them I've already communicated with my insurance and have confirmed they didn't and then they tell me they'll do it "right now". Well here I am, third week unmedicated AGAIN because of them. I'd pay out of pocket if I could but my medication is thousands of dollars. It is because of this office staff, I have started the process in finding a new neurologist. I told myself Dr Khalili was worth putting up with the office staff but at this point, I can't keep putting my health at risk by continuing to be a victim of their neglect.

I asked my primary that I wanted a second opinion, she sent me to Dr Merliss. I was hesitant about how far was and skeptical about the building, but knew she sent me there for a reason. He listened to everything I had to say, even told me to slow down and take my time with my story. After a few tests and him reviewing my story, he informed me that what I had was a far less condition than what I had been diagnosed with. I am being taken off the medication that I didn't need, and getting my license and life back. I can't express how happy I am to have been referred to him. We need more doctors like him and I Highly recommend Dr Merliss. Thank you!!

I am hugely disappointed that Dignity didn't bother to hire another neurologist that does Botox for Migraines. This has been a solutions for my migraines for about 7 years! I moved up to Nevada City from Santa Barbara where I had a great relationship with a neurologist near that area. I was so fortunate to find Dr. Lizama when I moved here two and a half years ago and now she's gone! I haven't been able to find a new neurologist close by. There is one in Auburn that is booking out to July ( I was last seen by Dr. Lizama the end of February)! How is that helpful when you need to be seen every three months! I saw Mark W. suggests calling the patient advocate... that is not helpful at all as you immediately get a recording that says they will call you back in 24 to 48 hours! it's friday and that is the best time for me to talk as I am very busy at work the rest of the week! I don't expect any help from the patient advocate and am somewhat at a loss. This move to Nevada City has some huge disappointments in healthcare! I never realized how great it was to have my doctors in Santa Barbara until I moved here! The four starts are for Dr. Lizama and the one taken off is for Dignity as this is an unfeeling corporation that has an obvious concern for business not for the patients!
