04-2025 Merced County Physicians in Best 8 MEDICAL SERVICES near Merced, CA (Part 3)Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula - Monterey Texnia Stewart: My husband was a recent patient at ER. The quality of nursing care has slipped since our last visit. Multiple times he had to ask for assistance to go to the bathroom. No one ever came so I helped him get out of bed & we headed to the bathroom. He had a bit of diarrhea & absolutely could not wait any longer. We asked multiple times in ER & on the floor to get a Fall Risk wrist band for him. He wasnt even asked if hed any falls when we came in. Hes unsteady on his feet & uses a cane. This wasnt documented. His prescription meds were messed up even tho both a hospitalist & a pharmacy tech reviewed info with us. To make it more aggravating, he takes several OTC meds & the CHOMP charges for them is outrageously expensive for them to
i.e., $$$ vs pennies to have them. & when they dont have a certain med, they expect you to turn your supply
over to them so they can charge you for dispensing. It would be much better to keep personal meds in a patient room & give them the correct dose at the CORRECT time, etc. The other major problem we had in the ER was the poor infection control practiced by 1 of the RNs. She would put on gloves then go about opening drawers, moving equipment, then picking up supplies tha were supposed to be handled in a sterile manner. She was just sloppy & who knows what germs, bacteria, viruses, etc she was transmitting between her patients & to my husband.
Well think twice before coming back to this hospital. It was very disappointing to see how CHOMP quality of care has gone downhill.
Edit:
Im debating whether to change this from 2ā to 1. Hubby now admitted to hospital. Nursing is trying to give him his meds but cant because the HOSPITAL PHARMACY is OUT OF STOCK OF the HEART MEDS he takes. So ā am I supposed to go home & bring in our personal Rx meds & hand it over to this incompetent pharmacy so they can give OUR meds to my husband, & probably charge us for our own meds weve paid for at our local pharmacy? There is absolutely no excuse for a hospital pharmacy to run out of a common heart medication many people take! Just how bad has this hospital become. Its becoming a safety hazard for patients & the community.
MoGo Urgent Care - Monterey - Monterey Twisted Adventures: I already had my medical insurance in file with Montage since I have been going to them for physical therapy for years now.
Well, the front desk decided to NOT tell they accept my insurance until 6 hours later! When I first made the appointment, she said "bring your insurance card" and when I had it to her, she immediately said "oh thats on file already but we dont accept that here."
Like if you only accept certain insurance companies, maybe you should ASK when someone calls about getting in the same day!
If youre on Medi-Cal/Medicaid, just go to the Emergency Room. Youre in better hands there anyway.
Montage Medical Group, Ryan Ranch - Monterey Johnnie M: Ill be honest, I was a bit hesitant after reading those online reviews. But let me tell you, my visit to Montage Healthcare was a total game-changer!
Yeah, I had to wait a few months to see the doc, but it was totally worth it. They have this cool system where you can snag an appointment the following week through the app or by phone, which I thought was pretty sweet.
Dr. Stephen Owens was a total rockstar. He knows his stuff, answered all my questions without making me feel like a dummy, and was just a really chill guy. If youre looking for a doctor whos actually human, hes your guy.
The clinic itself was clean and tidy. I waited about 15 minutes after checking in, which isnt too bad considering.
So, dont let those online reviews scare you off. My experience at Montage Healthcare was awesome, and I think youll feel the same way.
Doctors on Duty - Monterey Nancy Larkin: Finding primary care on the Monterey Peninsula is challenging. Seems like all the doctors have gone concierge. That makes it difficult for healthy individuals to get primary care without the high cost of a concierge doctor. Anytime I had a need for urgent care in the past I went to Doctors On Duty. Iād always received excellent care. Last year I turned to Doctors On Duty for my primary care and the service and care have all been top notch.
