My parents had been long time patients of Dr. Donald Parsons. When I heard he was retiring and Dr…read moreClifford Sewell would be taking over his concierge medical practice I was concerned. Who could possibly replace Dr. Parsons? So it was with trepidation that my mother and I met Dr. Sewell. It was hard to form a new relationship at first due to the constraints of the pandemic. I am very happy to say that we are well on our way. Mom has had a tough few months health wise and Dr Sewell has been amazing. He is always available by phone or text and responds right away. His guidance has helped keep her out of the hospital several times. We couldn't be happier with his kind and compassionate care and his sharp intellect as we deal with some complicated medical issues. I don't write many reviews, but in this case I felt compelled to share my experience with anyone looking for a great doctor.

I am a resident of Walnut Creek California in need of a primary care physician. I contacted Banner…read morePeak Health after trying and not being able to get into see any primary care physician in the area. I was made to wait two months to get in to see one of the doctors. Before going I called to ask what would disqualify me, since I had the $4800/year fee. I was told they only turned away patients unwilling to take their advice on their health, so I was reassured as I am always compliant. I went today and in my initial meeting was encouraged to tell the doctor intimate details of my medical history, something I wouldn't tell anyone who wouldn't be taking care of me. Only after disclosing my most intimate concerns was I told they only take "healthy patients." As this "doctor" said, they already have a "handful of elderly patients with a long list of medications" and I guess that means they're full up. Clearly that's all the caring they seem willing to provide to the Walnut Creek community. Besides being appalled that people in a caring profession would only take "healthy people," I felt both disgusted and violated to have told my intimate medical history to somebody who had no intention of helping me. I reached out to someone in the office to explain my concern, and instead of offering to see what they could do, I was told that they would send me a list of "doctors with openings" in the area. After writing twice to get the list I was offered, what I received was not a list of physicians with openings but a generic list of physicians I could have cut and pasted from the internet. (I know from having called these offices that many of the listed physicians have no openings.). Although I am not surprised that what I finally received was not responsive to what I needed and wasn't what they had promised, I was surprised they didn't know the plural of "physician" is "physicians" not "physician's." I guess I shouldn't have been surprised they showed so little care about documents provided to the public since they are not a health "care" office but to be so unprofessional as to not proofread their documentation exemplifies their lack overall care. They want your $4800. They don't want to help anyone. So if you want them as your doctor you better be rich and healthy or you are out of luck (which would be contracted "you're" not "your," for the office person's edification). If I conducted my business by only accepting clients who would give me money and not need me to do any work for that money, I would have tons of free time; might even learn a new hobby. Good idea, no? Except these are "health"professionals, not "professionals for the healthy." They took oaths to do no harm above all else and I was truly harmed today. I feel violated and I feel misled. And I lost two months waiting for an appointment that was a sham. If I want simple wellness assistance, I'll go to GNC and it won't cost me $4800/year. Anyone who reaches out to Banner Peak only-for-the-healthy, go in with your eyes open--and have a real, healing physician on standby.

For the past two years, our children have been under Dr. Ashley's care, and we couldn't be more…read moregrateful. She is kind, compassionate, incredibly responsive, and brings so much energy and warmth to every interaction. There have been multiple occasions when one of our children have shown signs of an ear infection late at night, and she responded promptly, saw them to make an accurate diagnosis, and made sure they received the treatment they needed as soon as possible. Whenever my kids feel anxious about an appointment, she is able to calm their fears, make them feel safe, and even turn the visit into a positive experience. I especially appreciate how thoroughly she explains medical concerns in a way that's easy to understand. She takes the time to answer questions and listens to my concerns. I always feel heard, respected, and confident in the care my children receive. We are so grateful to have found Dr. Ashley and highly recommend her!

My husband had the great fortune to see her the first day of operation at her new office. We are very impressed with her. My husband is a very detail oriented person.

He will order tests you or he feel will help diagnose an issue and refers his patients to good specialty doctors.

What I do like is that our office visits are never rushed because he spends whatever time is necessary to complete a visit. Thank you Dr. Bernens for your care. I have even referred a few friends to his practice.
