One of the electrodes, during one of the sessions, failed, but he kept shooting electricity to it to try and get it to work. All the while the faulty electrode was causing intense pain. He finally got angry, pulled the electrode out hastily and jammed another one in and completed the therapy (torture). After the "therapy", I was light headed so a nurse helped me to lay down. While I was resting, he walked by and said what's wrong with you? I said I was light headed. To which he replied, "You big baby!" Really professional. This guy is a q and likes to make your legs flinch or twitch like a frog, by flicking the electrodes for the enjoyment of the people in the room. Oh, and to top it off, I have permanent nerve damage. But not where I needed it as the therapy didn't work at all. No pain was ever relieved. I have permanent nerve damage throughout all the skin in my neck and upper back.

I have endured most of my life as a chronic pain patient along with battling several other…read moreailments. Having said that, I have seen and met many doctors over the years, most were just working for the insurance companies, making poor decisions, all for the sole purpose to save money. As a result, I suffered for those poor decisions. Most doctors through my experience are very short tempered, uncaring, and abrasive. Dr. James Barnett is NOT one of those doctors. He is a truly gifted man with a genuine heart. He is a doctor that wants to HELP his patients, and through his expertise and vast knowledge he IS the one doctor I would highly recommend to any patient seeking help/relief from pain. I have had the pleasure of having Dr. Barnett as my specialist since the year 2000. He's helped me tremendously through the 14+ years of my life-long struggle with leg and back pain. As my particular case itself is more complicated than most, he took the challenge and has been by my side since. He's become part of my family, and I'm thankful everyday that I found this awesome man to be my doctor. His passion for life and to truly help others is what separates him from the cookie-cutter pack of doctors out there.

My first admission was for a surgical procedure, my second was for a saddle pulmonary embolism and my third was for an UTI. I have had a number of procedures through the years at numerous hospitals, and I have to say that Sutter Memorial Modesto was one of the better experiences I've had with any of them. The staff was extremely professional and very compassionate. My time was spent divided between stays in the surgical unit 5th floor North Tower, ICU and telemetry. My surgeon was awesome (Dr. Corin). All of the hospitalists that I encountered were very professional and compassionate and the nursing staff was very competent and caring. Both the physical therapy personnel and the respiratory therapy personnel were very kind and patient with me during my recovery from the pulmonary embolism and pneumonia. The only thing that kept me from giving Sutter Memorial Modesto, a five star rating is the food. Maybe I was just there too long, but I realized quickly that the rotation of offerings to the patients was very limited as I began seeing the same dishes again and again and many of them were not very good. But it just made me want to get well quicker and go home, so maybe that is part of your plan! Thank you all for being a part in saving my life! Richard Williams

I was recently admitted to Sutter Memorial after an ER visit for a broken leg. Surgery was required…read moreto properly set the bone. I want to begin by saying that the medical teams who treated my injury were exceptional--ER staff, the surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgical team, and floor nurses all provided excellent care and bedside manner. Unfortunately, the case management and administrative follow‑up were the opposite: disorganized, dismissive, and lacking compassion. After the case manager's third visit, I requested reassignment because of repeated issues. During her first visit--less than a day after surgery and my first PT session--she abruptly announced she was ordering equipment. I had already discussed choosing a wheelchair with PT (insurance covers only one item), but when I tried to explain this, she cut me off and repeated, "Insurance will only cover one." When I attempted to tell her about the steps at my home and the need for a ramp, she again interrupted and said, "Insurance won't cover that, you're on your own," offering no resources or guidance. Later, while I was on the phone trying to locate a ramp myself, she stood in my room sighing and rolling her eyes. She then told me I had been discharged--even though my nurse had just started an IV for low vitamin levels, I still had two doses left, the equipment she ordered hadn't arrived, and I still had no safe way to enter my home. When she asked if I had walked yet, I reminded her I was non‑weight‑bearing for at least two months. She then asked if I had Medicare, which I do not--another sign she hadn't reviewed my chart. I told her directly that her approach felt rude, rushed, and unsafe, and asked for a different case manager. Hours later, I learned the pharmacy couldn't fill my medication because it required prior authorization. When I called the operator asking for a patient advocate, I was transferred to a non‑working extension. After calling back and explaining the urgency, I was sent to the second case manager. She cut me off immediately, said she had "just received the information," and submitted the authorization but refused to follow up to ensure it went through. When I mentioned that home health also lacked prior authorization, she admitted it hadn't been done yet. She did not address my concerns about the first case manager and abruptly ended the call. In the days since, I have repeatedly tried to reach a patient advocate. Neither the hospital operator nor the main Sutter line could provide a working number. When the operator attempted to transfer me to her manager, the call went to voicemail and disconnected mid‑message. The medical teams make Sutter look excellent, but case management and administrative systems make patients feel abandoned. These failures matter--especially when patients are in pain, scared, and relying on the hospital to ensure safe discharge planning. When healthcare systems make it this difficult to advocate for ourselves, it discourages people from seeking care at all. Sutter needs to do better. Kaiser, in my experience, is far ahead in efficiency and patient support. As one example, I was told it would take five months to see an endocrinologist for a serious genetic condition--whereas with Kaiser, specialist appointments took only a few days.

I was treated at Sutter Memorial Hospital in Modesto on 11/1/2025 for severe abdominal pain. A CT…read morescan showed a possible gangrenous appendix, and Dr. Antonio Coirin performed surgery that day. After surgery, I was told everything was fine, but my pain never went away. I returned to the ER a few days later, and another CT scan showed my appendix was still there -- it had ruptured and caused an abscess. I needed a second emergency surgery with a different doctor, who said the infection could have been life-threatening. This was a frightening and painful experience that could have ended much worse. I truly hope the hospital reviews how this happened so that no one else goes through the same situation. I do not recommend Dr. Antonio Coirin based on my experience.

Thoughts... This…read morelocation of the CSSC is the latest and in my humble option; the greatest outpatient office Doctor Navani and her outstanding support team (Rena ^5) has opened. My Story / History... In 2016, I was injured at work. My employer (at the time) contracted with Kaiser for workers compensation (WC) claims so, that's where my initial treatments and programs for recovery began and ultimately ended. After almost four months of ineffective treatment and indecisive decisions with the folks at Kaiser, I hired an attorney who changed my WC provider into the care of Doctor Annu Navani and her Comprehensive Spine & Sports Centers team. Dr. Navani's primary operations (at the time) were conducted in Campbell area of the South Bay. But after almost ten months of driving more than 150 miles round trip for visits and treatment, my prayers were answered when Dr. Navani told me she was opening an office here in the City of Modesto. My first visit in Modesto was on May 31, 2017 and I was impressed. The office is located inside of a business park next to a neighborhood. The area is busy with with lots of traffic and people visiting two hospitals within blocks and an elementary school, a block away. Inside, the office is huge with lots of room and seating for patients awaiting appointments. Treatments that finally WORK! From GO, Dr. Navani worked with me to tackle my pain; to get me some relief and get some of my functions restored. She began by addressing what didn't work while I was in Kaiser's care then, ordered new and innovative ideas like acupuncture and an chiropractor after two epidurals failed to relieve my pain. To her credit, her recommended treatments have worked. Synopsis... Even though I'm not at 100% of where I was in terms of ability and agility before I was injured. With Dr. Navani and her teams help, I'm in a better place of both mind and fitness from whence I came. Dr. Navani has been respectful, kind, professional and patient each time I've talked with her and I'm truly happy with her service and her new location. I'd highly recommend her and her team for injury treatments.

I couldn't drive a car prior to seeing Heron. Within a year of seeing him, I was back driving. When I asked for outside information re my conditions, Heron suggested materials to help change my life style. Dr. Heron has listened to me sharing about my unusual responses to treatments and been open to changing the treatment plans accordingly. This is a rare quality in specialists and I am most grateful. In summary, Dr Heron has given me a much improved quality of life and treated me with dignity never indicating disbelief in the level of my pain nor making remarks about "pill-seeking behavior," behaviors that other doctors in pain management felt were a required part of their new patient introductions. I don't mind waiting for Dr. Heron; he listens, follows through and treats me with dignity, kindness and successful treatments! PS In defense of the office staff, and the doctors, the state and federal guidelines concerning Pain Management (especially re the opioid crisis,) are very restrictive. In order to keep their licenses, they must set strict boundaries with their clients. PS Bring your pup with you for an extra relaxed visit lol)
