5 /5 Janet Trejo: I am beyond grateful for Dr. Shiva Niakan and the incredible care she has provided me. If the phrase "care as if youre family" had a face, it would be Dr. Niakan’s. From the very first visit, her attention to detail and genuine concern for my well-being were evident. She treats each patient with the utmost compassion and respect, and it’s clear that she truly cares about making a difference in their lives. Dr. Niakan, you are not only an extraordinary physician but a life-saver. Your skill, knowledge, and kindness are unmatched, and I’ll forever be thankful for everything you’ve done for me. You have not only improved my health but have touched my life in ways words can’t fully express. Please know that you are in my prayers every night, and I’m forever grateful for your expertise and dedication. Thank you, Dr. Niakan, for giving me the gift of life. You are truly one of a kind!

1 /5 venkatesh kumar: I scheduled an appointment with Dr Aren Francis, ENT specialist, at Modesto, Sutter Health. The appointment was scheduled in March the actual appointment is on May. Two days before the appointment the I got a call from nurse and she mentioned that the doctor is not available on the appointment day and she rescheduled the appointment after 2 months. I mentioned her that I already waited for 2 months for this appointment and it is not fair to cancel in the last minute and if they are cancelling, they need to provide a slot in the next few days at least. She disconnected the call without listening to me. I called the doctors office multiple times after that and they transferred to a different number which ended up in a VoiceMail all the time.

3 /5 KALOLINA Kalolina: I give doctors 5 stars the billing department a 1, since July 1, 2023 nothing but issues with getting them to invoice secondary insurance. Ive heard every excuse in the book. I work for Stanislaus County and everyone is having same issues

1 /5 Norma Gonzalez: I had a new patient appointment with a lot of questions, and when I started to ask my first question, the doctor to begin with made me feel like she was rushing because you know they have to go to the next patient. I understand that and when I started to ask my first question she said you’re interrupting me very tense, after that, I felt like I couldn’t ask anything more a new patient appointment 10 minutes max. I think I was asked if I wanted water more times than I was asked what my reason is for being there You could feel this is all about money, not about your health I feel for the doctors working with Sutter

1 /5 Carmen Zayas: What good is primary care when I cant get an appointment to be seen by my actual PCP? The schedulers seem to always have a schedule thats different from the physicians. PA and NP require doctor approval in certain circumstances when treating a patient. They also do not have the same level of experience as a physician. Remember that today PA and NP want similar pay as a devoted, fully fledged physician but with less classroom studies and residency. A patient who has a hx of medical problems needs a doctor who is devoted to caring for their pt whether it be in office or by phone, whether its to inform of bad news or good news, whether its to conduct a simple check up or read lab results or post surgical reports. Again. Theres a purpose for wanting a fully fledged physician to treat us. And SG physicians should be held to a much higher standard with their patient care. Doctors are not what they use to be. It took me complaining to 4 different ER physicians at a Sutter Hospital before one of them did their job and referred me to an oncologist. Doctors are too relaxed and its very unfortunate.
