Larry Smith: He explained everything well. I do think the office could work just a bit on clarity of instructions. Specifically, about the timing of the procedure...its important to make sure everyone is on the same page. The office was not bad, but I did feel there was a bit of lack of communication. Nonetheless, I believe he is the only rectal surgeon in Tulare County, and I am happy he serves this area with his skill set. I do believe he cares about his patients. I also found the nurses at the facility to be very caring and professional. I would recommend him.
Noah Whitaker: Ive visited Dr. Holviks office since moving to Tulare County nearly ten years ago. Their office staff has always been friendly, polite, and helpful. I became a patient when their offices were in the multi-story building next to Kaweah Delta. When Ive needed to, Ive visited their Urgent Care across from their office. Ive never had a negative experience at any of their offices. I can literally say that Dr. Holvik saved my life when I became critically ill.
When I saw the 1-star reviews I was concerned that something changed. I just visited the office earlier today and found my experience to be exactly how my previous ones were and that is excellent. If you have a bad experience at any office, trying changing your attitude first and see if youre treated better.
Hannah and Justin Ruhga: A joke. Schedule at 930 to possibly be seen at 1. Been waiting weeks for an appt. Staff is focused on liposuction so good it seems if you want that service.
Brandy Sassy: They are Amazingly helpful, Im very greatful to them because I couldnt afford a dentist and after months of dealing with the excruciating pain they helped me to get my tooth extraction. God Bless all the people that help this Center.
Terri Del Re: Dr Akhavon has been my primary physician for several years, and has always been caring and personable. Shes very thorough with detailed feedback, attention and follow-up care. Her staff is great, always friendly and accommodating whether in-person or by phone. Both my husband and I feel our medical care are in the best hands.
Debbie Goodman: The experience that I’ve had with this place is through a friend of mine, who has a son that is mentally ill. Her 40-something-year-old son destroyed the inside of their house, breaking everything, including pulling the washing machine and the dryer away from the wall and turning them on their side. He wrecked their television set. He tore their bedroom door off of the hinges, and threatened to kill my friend’s husband. He even killed their kitten by cutting its head off with a knife. My friend had to spend thousands of dollars on an attorney, getting her son evicted. The police finally came and took him away and he was placed in this mental hospital. After a month, the hospital told my friend if she didn’t take him back into her home, he would be released into the streets. I spoke with a friend of mine last night, who is a nurse in Sacramento, and she said it is the hospital’s responsibility to keep a patient such as this until they can find a place for them. Why did this hospital Fail my friend?!
