Dr. Straka is an exceptional radiologist who truly goes above and beyond for his patients. From the…read morevery beginning, he showed genuine care, taking the time to be thorough and ensure we understood every step of the process. His empathy and attention to detail made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. What stood out even more was his dedication--he and his team advocated directly with our insurance company to make sure my husband received the care he needed. That level of commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. The entire staff is warm, friendly, and compassionate. We are incredibly grateful for Dr. Straka and his team.

About a year ago, I had a rise in blood platelets, and since for me it could possibly mean cancer,…read moreI made an appointment. Dr. Lamon ordered follow-up testing for a month later to track changes, and put me on a daily baby aspirin, since it can lower chances of colon cancer, something I have a predilection to. When I arrived for my follow up, I paid my copay and went back to the room to wait. He burst in and demanded to know how many tests I had done. I said I did whatever was on the order, just the one--he shoved a copy in my face and asked me to confirm and I said yeah, that was probably the one. He stormed out, yelling at the nurses as he went. They apparently ordered the wrong test and were supposed to order a second test as well, which they did not, meaning the appt was a waste of time since they couldn't tell me anything. He stomped back in and asked me if there was anything I needed--I had noticed that I started to sunburn more easily than normal (like fully burned and peeling after less than 40 minutes in the shade). I did my research and read several peer reviewed studies that showed daily aspirin could make people photosensitive. I have issue with the texture of sun block on my skin, cause it gets very sticky and takes really hard scrubbing to get it off, so I went to ask "I think the aspirin is making me burn easier. I know I need to wear sunblock, but I hate the feeling of it, are there any you recommend as a doctor that might not cause that issue?" I got as far as "sunblock, but" when he interrupted me and told me "It's stupid to think aspirin could that, and if you don't wanna wear sunblock I can introduce you to some melanoma patients who might change your mind." I have had three cancers. My mom has had 7. May dad has had 4, including skin, and this is all on my family history and should be stuff he is aware of. He walked out after that. Since they hadn't even had a chance to do my vitals yet, a nurse, Danica, who said she was head nurse, came in to do them. I told her "I will be getting a refund for my copay today." And related what happened. She apologized for his behavior and offered "since you already paid today, I can have the front desk mark that it's waived next time, unless you need the money now." I agreed to that, and spoke with Danica and the receptionist while I got my lab orders and everyone agreed to the arrangement. On the third appointment they asked to collect a copay, and I reminded them that I had spoken with her and Danica previously, and it should be waived for this appointment. She said she did recall the conversation and that she would waive it. I have spoken to them no less than ten times about this now, as they have been billing me monthly for the third appointment's copay, threatening to send me to collections, etc. If I call and leave a message with the billing department it gets ignored. Each time I get a live person and explain the situation to someone they agree that I shouldn't pay it, and finally, a year and a half later, I think I have finally managed to convince them by posting the above on their site review system. We'll see.

Best. Doctor. Ever…read more Dr. Barmettler is the first doctor in over a decade that I feel safe/comfortable enough to make my primary care doctor. He always takes the time to thoroughly understand what's going on, to get to the root of what's causing your symptoms, and to educate you appropriately. His style of communication is warm and friendly, and he has a great sense of humor as well. I also really appreciate that he doesn't just push pills or unnecessary procedures on you, an increasingly common issue with some doctors who are looking to make a larger profit, but instead makes sure that a treatment really is in your best interests and won't cause unnecessary harm for a minimal (or no) improvement. If there are better doctors out there, I have yet to meet them. Highly recommended.

The kicker is that Barmettler's pride is hurt and he is offended that my sister asked about the COPD when she returned to the dr's office with my father after his two month stay in the ICU, acute care hospital and rehab. We are fortunate that my dad is on the mend but have been shocked at Barmettler's adversarial attitude. We will work hard to find another doctor that REALLY cares about my dad -- at least more than he does his own pride.

I am very grateful to him for ensuring my comfort and wellbeing. Dr. O'Shaughnessy was so careful to ensure a pain-free procedure. I would forever trust a doctor like him. He and the staff are amazing, including the male nurse and front desk personnel. Special shout-out to DR. VEENA ARUN, too, who saved my vision on an entirely unrelated, separate visit (not in UC). This was a while back. She's an eye-saving ophthalmologist who did wonders when no one else could -- not even my PCP nor ER doctors (with a CT scan when my primary doctor had said I needed to be seen ""STAT"). The woman Dr. Arun LITERALLY saved my vision. The staff got in right away. Dr. Arun rose above and was so calm and professional. Her demeanor made a huge difference. Her treatment was life-changing. (You take your vision for granted until something happens to the contrary, for which I am forever thankful to this skilled, gifted ophthalmologist.

1/5 stars Extremely disappointed by an inexcusable delay in…read morebasic X-Ray results. At my August 26th appointment, my doctor explicitly told me--and their website confirmed--that I would receive my results in 2 to 3 days. When that timeframe passed with zero communication, I contacted Sharp, only to be informed that their in-house radiology department is currently 7 to 14 business days behind. I have been dealing with severe pain since that appointment and have an upcoming consultation with an orthopedist on the 8th. Because of this failure, I won't even have my basic radiology results to support my care or show my specialist. It is completely baffling and unacceptable that an in-house department can fall this far behind in modern healthcare. Shame on Sharp for failing their patients to this degree. If you have any alternative options, please go elsewhere--it is clear that things are only getting worse here.

I had a great experience at this urgent care over multiple visits this week…read more I came in with an unusual situation +abnormal lab results that ultimately required a higher level of care. While the staff appropriately recommended the ER, they also took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and treat me like a whole person rather than just a lab value. Dr. Julie Sullivan was thorough, knowledgeable, and took my condition seriously. I always felt informed about what was happening and why certain recommendations were being made. I especially want to recognize my nurse, (also) Julie!!!Her bedside manner was exceptional. She was compassionate, reassuring, and genuinely invested in my care from the very beginning. Returning for follow-up can be stressful, and seeing a familiar face who remembered my situation and jumped in to help made a huge difference. She brought professionalism and kindness to every interaction. Being in healthcare myself, I know how difficult urgent care can be. The team balanced appropriate medical caution with empathy and treated me with respect throughout the process. I'm incredibly grateful for the care I received and would not hesitate to return in the future, although fingers crossed not for a while as nurse Julie is probably in need of a break from me! !!

He is fantastic with details and saved me great stress in the way they document everything too. When presenting to the insurance company, it was a relief to me that I had never found a single technical discrepancy from our visits and procedures over the entire two plus years; Every QC on paperwork from visits and procedures was perfect and they were courteous and available to help me procure the reports in a timely manner.
