I waited over a month to get an appointment with Dr Marcus. Finally the time comes and I had an…read moreappointment with Dr Marcus scheduled for today. I was told by the initial appointment maker, as well as the receptionist Vanessa that my appointment was thru video call. So i was told TWICE that it was over video. The time comes for my appointment today and i never receive a call. So, when i call the office asking when I would receive my call, they told me it was in person and that I would have to reschedule for another date since they can't change the "in person" visit to be a video call at the last minute since they needed a full hour. Not sure what's going on with their scheduling but it resulted in horrible miscommunication and a misunderstanding that lead to me waiting more time just to see a psychiatrist. While this was at the fault of their computer system or whoever creates/views the appointment, they were not apologetic at all for this inconvenience and miscommunication. If you have an appointment with them you better make sure like three times atleast how the appointment will be held. I made sure twice and was still given wrong information, and with an attitude as well.

I had Dr. Dianne Sanchez for the first few appointments of my pregnancy. She was very dismissive of…read moreissues I needed addressed. She could have (and SHOULD have) discussed medication options to help with my HG (hyperemesis gravidarum) but each time I tried telling her how sick I was, she brushed it off and just told me to take the sleep aid she had prescribed me, which was not helping at all with my severe nausea. I unnecessarily suffered throughout my pregnancy, and at its worst, I was throwing up 5x a day and was losing weight instead of gaining weight. It was the worst experience of my life and the pregnancy sickness was honestly very traumatic for me. Other doctors and staff I came in contact with were much more friendly and helpful, but due to my experience with Dr Sanchez, I hope to never return to this clinic. Very long wait time once put into a room to be seen. Every time I had an appointment but seems pointless; I would spend minimum 2hrs at doc office but actual time w doc was always about 10min.

To begin with, we did not choose for my wife to go to Natividad Hospital. In fact, my wife begged…read morethe firemen to take her to Memorial Hospital and not Natividad. We didn't know much about Natividad Hospital, but what we had heard about was not good. She has Medicare, and because she has had some health issues over the years, we purchased the best Medicare Supplement available and can go to any hospital we want. But because we live closer to Natividad, the firemen told us that they had to take her to Natividad. At the time, we didn't know how serious her injury from her fall was, but she was definitely in a lot of pain and knew she needed to go to a hospital. I went to the ER to see her that night. They were still taking X-rays, etc. to determine what was wrong. When I left after about an hour and a half, I still didn't know what her injury was. I went back in the morning and was informed that she had broken her hip, and they would be having surgery that afternoon. When I left the hospital, I didn't know what was going to be done. My wife has had four back surgeries over the years all performed by Dr. Gus Halamandaris. We didn't pick his name out of a hat to have him do the initial surgery on her back. It was based on recommendations we had received on him and after meeting with him to discuss the surgery he was going to perform on her. This was not the case at Natividad. And because this was an emergency, there was not time for us to go shopping for a surgeon, and we understand that. Had it been a surgery because of a degenerative nature, and had time, we certainly would have and had the surgery performed and chosen a different hospital to have it done. I didn't even know the name of the surgeon who would be performing the surgery on my wife, much less what was going to be done. She was scheduled to go into surgery at 2 pm. I called at 5:30 and was told that her surgery had been delayed and that she had just gone into to surgery. I called again at 8:30 to see if she was out of surgery and was told that she was still in surgery and I was assured that I would get a call when she was out of surgery. I never got that call. I finally called again at 9:30 and was told she was out of surgery and would be transferred to a room. After each of the four surgeries Dr. Halmandaris performed on my wife, he would come and see me if I was at the hospital or call me at home to let me know how the surgery went. When I left the hospital the following day, I still didn't even know her surgeons' name or exactly what had been done. It wasn't until two days later that we were told by a nurse that she had a partial hip replacement. After a short stay in the hospital, my wife was transferred to the Sam Karas Acute Rehab Center, which is on the same site as the hospital. But that is a separate story. After she was released from the Rehab Center, we had to return to the hospital to meet with her surgeon for a follow up. We were told to be there by 9:15, which we were. We didn't meet with her surgeon until almost 3 hours later. After he went over her operation, he said he wanted us to return in about a month for another checkup. I told him that we wouldn't be returning and that we would go to another orthopedic surgeon who has in private practice for any future follow ups. There is no way we were going to spend 3 hours waiting to see a doctor we had an appointment with; plus the distance we had to traverse from the parking lot to where we had to go to me with him. He told us that we didn't have to do that and we could just go to our family doctor for any follow ups. As far as her stay in the hospital, we were relatively satisfied with it other than the food is absolutely horrible. Fortunately, she didn't have much of an appetite. I have been a strong proponent of universal healthcare because I believe it should be a right to have access to have medical care. However, if this an example of what universal healthcare looks like, I may have to reevaluate that opinion. It should be better than this.

I reschedule and was assured that should something come up I could call for a new appointment. Something came up and when I called for a different appointment the girl had 0 customer service skills. Was told that I had to go on a waitlist and when I asked how long she goes "idk" and couldn't even give an estimated timeline. Mind you, this is for a service that has a deadline. When I asked about my referral she said "yeah it's good we just don't have appointments anymore". I then explained that the Dr was the one who cancelled so why am I being essentially punished and she said "thats just how it goes. You can call your OBGYN to be referred somewhere else" if I could give 0 stars I would but I'll give 1 since the front desk staff was nice.
