McDermott Francis MD - Chico (CA)

5 /5 Ginger Darcy: Ive been with Dr. McDermott for years now and can say hes a wonderful provider. I feel comfortable speaking with him and sharing my stressors and issues. I myself work in the mental health field and it takes its toll; he empathizes and understands and provides support without judgement. I never feel rushed and have enough time without it feeling like hes trying to push too much (Im not a huge talker.) Im thankful for him.

1 /5 Kristen Stevenson: After speaking to the staff on the phone for weeks they said they were unable to confirm my insurance but instead of letting me know they just moved on called them every week and they still couldnt figure it out. After I finally was put on the schedule they called me back 15 minutes later to tell me the doctor didnt want to take my case and had no explanation other than he didnt want to do it, when he had no information on why I was going and why. It would have been nice to know that 6 weeks earlier when I have been trying and unsuccessfully get ahold of them. Trash place.

5 /5 Bailey Henry: I’ve mostly come to talk about Ivan Gossage who’s in this office. Ivan is probably one of, if not the best practician I’ve been to across all fields. He lets you speak, genuinely listens to what you have to say, provides you multiple options and scenarios, and is open to your own ideas, as well, while still giving your ideas his own professional thought and opinion. If you’re in need of a psychiatrist I couldn’t recommend him more. The office staff here is also friendly, kind, and laid back.

5 /5 Lisa Williams: The 2023 Staff at the office are EXCEPTIONAL!!! Leah & Alex are competent, caring and patient oriented. Be patient as you are likely to need to leave a message as they take care of those in the office first and the phones second. Ivan Gossage is a first rate Nurse Practitioner who goes the extra mile for his patients!!!

1 /5 Jenn Garrett: Dr Mcdermont has treated my ex husband for 12 years and is a great physician. We tried to have my daughter be seen by his partnering doctor(due to family history). We made an appointment two months ago (first available), my daughter drove over 1.5hrs to be told that the dr wasn’t there and that they didn’t have a phone number to contact her at. Yet, they have called me twice to gather insurance information and to confirm address. I tried to call them back and Linda was VERY rude and said “your daughter doesn’t want to be a patient here so I don’t have to talk to you” she then said to another woman in the background “this is that girls mom” to which the lady said, “hang up on her” Linda then said, “I don’t have to talk to you” and hung up on me. These people work with the mentally ill, people in crisis, depressed and bipolar. This is how they treat other humans in need? This is how. Yes handle their mistakes? Shame on you Dr M if this is how you allow your staff to treat people that have made you a rich man!
