Sacramento Family Medical Clinic

This clinic failed to thoroughly care and diagnose my child. They are just a govt paid clinic. I believe through my experience the Dr.‘s are incompetent. I came in cause my child was experiencing chest pain, frequent urination tingling in his feet and leg pains and his vision went out briefly. They did the basic test citing there was no bladder infection. and prescribed him some liquid allergy medicine. The Nurse Practitioner said to me, your son doesn’t know where his heart is! I was like… Since I found another primary care for my child and turns out through testing he was dx with spinal problem which was causing narrowing of his caudel which causes weakness in bladder and muscle weakness and tingling in his limbs. Then with my daughter without my consent gave my child an injection of the HPV. Knowingly it causes cancer and sterility. If you want to be part of the statistics of the rate of Black Infant Health Death Rates You need to take action of your healthcare. The services my family received I believe is part of modern day eugenics.

I don’t know why other reviewers have given this clinic such low ratings. The office opens at 8:30 AM and closes at 5:00 PM on weekdays. If you arrive for an appointment later in the day, they do not kick you out at the stroke of 5:00, but stay there until every scheduled patient is seen. Read carefully and you will discover that many of the reviewers have never actually been treated here, so read those one star reviews with a big grain of salt. Its like reviewing a restaurant based on how you liked their signage.
The practitioners care about their patients and never rush you to get out. I appreciate that they are willing to listen even when I talk slow. They prescribe the medications you need (which is not the same thing as certain persons getting the «medicine» he or she want to have…) and they will order only the tests they believe will help them make a treatment plan or to diagnose the problem.
Because they do not rush patients through sometimes you have to wait to be seen longer than you wanted, but who wants a doctor who rushes you out the door so that the next patient won’t be kept waiting 10 minutes? (I bet none of these other reviewers would want to be treated that way. No, they are not complaining that a doctor saw them for too long, they are whining about how other patients ahead of them in line took too long with the doctor.)
This clinic functions efficiently and the office staff are generally patient and polite with me. But then, I try to be the same with them. I noticed that they get along well with each other, too, and that says a lot about how an office operates.
So, if you come here you’ll get good care but it might take longer than you expected it to take. Just take a chill pill and stay calm.
UPDATE: These clinics were recently bought by River City Medical Group. River City specializes in MediCal patients. Since MediCal reimburses the bottom amount for treatments, the best way for a for-​profit corporation to make money is by increasing the number of patients each provider must see per shift. So, soon the providers here may be speeding up to fit in three or four patients per hour. What if you have a more complicated problem that cannot be treated in 15 minutes? Then come back on another day for subsequent parts to the treatment plan… America’s health market sucks.

If I could, I would rate this office a fat ZERO. You will need to book any appointment two months in advance and they are ONLY open from 9am-​3pm Monday through Friday. God forbid you have a job and can’t take off work. I asked what I am supposed to do if I need antibiotics and was unable to come during their regular office hours, instead of trying to work with me all she said was, find a new provider. Great, thanks. After waiting a year for an appointment that I could actually attend, I give up. This office is useless and rude to say the least.

I came here for a appointment that was supposed to be at 10:00am and they left me waiting over a hour in the waiting room. And the staff that work here have no medical training or customer service skills. I would suggest visiting a ER or a urgent care clinic before coming here you will be seen a lot quicker and you can see actual real medical staff. This was a waste of my time and I wasted an entire morning coming here only to be led to disappointment. I will be submitting further reviews and also changing my healthcare plan.

I have been a patient here for over 2 years. God help anyone who has to go here. It is dirty, like creepy crawly dirty. the «staff» are a joke. I have 3 nodules in my left lung that could be cancer and I have sleep apnea. I found the lung stuff in August had to wait 6 months for my next ct scan which if protocol BUT IT’S FREAKING APRIL ALMOST MAY AND I STILL HAVEN’T HAD MY FOLLOW UP CT!!! I had my sleep study in January once again IT’S ALMOST MAY AND I STILL HAVEN’T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT MY REFERRAL. So I’m not sleeping because I can’t breathe and I might have cancer eating me from the inside out. I call to find out about my referrals the bitch in charge of that will NEVER answer or return messages. The girls who make your appointments will transfer you to an empty extension. The office manager is ALWAYS at lunch bitch please it’s fucking 10 AM how the fuck is she at lunch?! They won’t even answer when I have the HMO call. The watt Ave one is a lot better but this one needs to go.

The other reviews are on the mark. This is one of the worst clinics I have gone to. They are booked months ahead for appointments, and will not call you if someone cancels no matter how dire your situation is. They are quick to prescribe things to mask your symptoms but will not order tests even if YOU think it is absolutely necessary (why the hell not? It’s more money for them). And if you need a prior authorization for a refill? Better be prepared to wait a month. I ran out of an AP and went through horrid withdrawals while waiting for the doctor to do something that should have taken no more than 20 minutes of their time. Don’t go here if you can help it.

The doctors here don’t really seem to give a damn. They are reluctant to order tests or x-​rays. The front office staff is not great, and you can forget about getting in anywhere near your appointment time since they overbook so extensively. I went in with a lingering thumb injury, and the doctor suggested it was arthritis and did not want to even bother with an X-​ray.
