5 /5 Dannon McElroy: I have been a member of Placer Private Physicians since it opened. My parents enrolled me when I was a teen and I chose to continue as an adult, eventually adding my husband and now son. The care my family and I receive from the entire practice is extraordinary.
As a new mom, I fully appreciate being able to contact a doctor whenever I need or have a question. The fact they always have a doctor on call really puts my mind at ease. Each doctor has been excellent with my son since he was born. The nursing and office staff spoil him beyond measure.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Brown for helping me to diagnose some chronic issues that other doctors/specialists have brushed off. I truly feel heard and understood, vs. the common medical gaslighting I have received elsewhere. I appreciate her willingness to listen, research, and advocate for me as needed and that she educated me on my body and conditions. If you are a woman with endocrine or hormone issues, she is amazing.
The nursing staff is friendly, professional, and overall comforting. I have never had a negative experience with them (and I’m there frequently!) I appreciate being able to reach out to a nurse to help facilitate when I need questions answered quickly, quick referral, urgent med refills etc. And as someone that needs frequent injections, Lisa makes shots quick and relatively painless. Kimberly was so helpful as I learned breastfeeding and such a support to me as a new mom. While I don’t see him as much, Harry is a delight and may be my son’s favorite.
The office staff is equally as professional and friendly and overall great to work with. I appreciate their follow through on sending communication to the nurses and doctors. Their on site nutritionist Prabha is incredibly helpful and thorough. She has even helped me plan meals and grocery lists to best support my family’s health.
I realize I have said all positive things, but I think very highly of this practice. Where I have friends fighting to get themselves or a family member in for appointments or to be taken seriously and actually helped by other doctors in this area, I know Dr. Brown, Lisa (nurse), and the rest of PPP will make sure I can get the help I need. My only con is that my son has to get his vaccinations at a nearby doctor’s office. But, PPP arranges the appointment and we are in and out very quick.
While the cost of being a member may seem like an extra expense, keep in mind you are avoiding co-pays when going there so you aren’t paying an additional fee per visit, you are actually being listened to, you have access to the on-call doctor, referrals are quick, and medication refills are easy. Being on a budget, I wouldn’t spend the extra money if I didn’t find the service and peace of mind of having them as my doctor’s office 100% worth it.
