Patel Pulliam & Medical Associates

Slower than a snail get here plan on being here for hrs they are so slow and I just came in for drug test for job

If you can, go somewhere else. Even tho their website says open at 8 am on Friday, they have staff meeting and make you wait. Couldnt care less if people are waiting.
Short story — drug screening pee in a cup — took 2 hours and 20 min, and I was the first in the door — 7:55 am. If you have time to kill — then I recommend them.

Dr. Patel is the sweetest. Went to him for a workers comp claim (1^st experience) and it was very easy working with the staff in the office. At times the wait could be a bit long, but I get that when I see my. regukar physician — so I’d say it was a fair trade.

Very sad day when your doctor says it is too much paperwork for him to fill out when you need a referral to a specialist. I’ve had 2 major surgeries and need to have another. I switched to Dr. Patel because he was local and I didn’t wish to drive to San Ramon any longer. I am just heartbroken. At the end of the conversation he could care less of my needs and stated I needed to look for another physician and then hung up. How ungrateful and ill spirited!

I would be extremely careful about visiting this office if you have a balance they will charge you 50% interest on the balance of the account if you don’t pay.

If you are looking for a wonderful Dr., then you should go and she Dr. Pulliam. He kind and very caring Dr. That’s not afraid to tell you like it is. The staff are great. Only down side is the wait time. For such a wonderful Dr. I don’t mind the wait. There are two other Doctors Patel and Hoobli. They are wonderful as well. I have been treated by both and been happy each time. Dr. Patel is wonderful and very knowledgable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. The staff are a wonderful mixture. All are kind and helpful. I will refrain from naming names but the staff who take your vitals and take you back to the room are the the highlight of this office. Personable, kind, funny and sweet. A few words to describe how great they are. Good job and keep it up. From a loyal patient.

I like how all these negative reviews don’t point out how extremely busy this office is and how hard their staff works to see all of the people that come in. Sure, you may wait for a long time to get called back but at least you’re getting treated, drug tested, etc. I doubt any of you know that Dr. Patel’s office does pre employment drug testing and physicals for almost all of the industrial companies here in Tracy! And for your husband who didn’t like Dr. Hubli during his DOT physical, his company has their drivers come to this office for a reason: they do their job good and correctly. Maybe he just didn’t like that he was getting told the truth! I’ve been coming to this office for my kids and for myself, and will continue to. Thank you to the doctors and staff!

2 stars for the doctors I find them to be detailed and thorough. But when your appt is scheduled for 830 and your waitin almost an hour just to be takin back To a room and to wait another 30 minutes or so in the room it’s ridiculous. Callin in to make an appt is a wait to, they literally will put you on hold for more then 5 minutes. I don’t understand why they have so many assistants working in the office but only 1 person can answer the phone to make an appt?
When I’m being checked in I expect to be given the paperwork that needs to be filled out, pay my copay and then sit down. They literally call you back and forth while your waiting as if they forget things here and there.

Came in for a work injury. Dr Patel is my caring physician. He immediately told me I had two issues going on. I had Xrays and his office connected the physical therapy office for me.
I can sit in the lobby for a little while to get thorough care. Don’t rush the people who you are looking to for medical help. Had Dr Patel not taken the time to talk to me and hear my concerns, he may have missed something and I could have done more damage to myself.

Did not disclose practice policies upfront like they should. Waited over hour to be seen, front office disorganized. What I called and found out in 2 minutes from calling my insurance direct took them 45… Go somewhere else!

Absolutely terrible! Had an appointment at 1:45pm still here at 4:00pm. Just for a physical. Completely lack of structure no one checks on you to see what is going on. So pissed right now!!!

Nice people, wait was forever…

Never ever visit this medical office in tracy. there is so much of mismanagement despite having too many people
sense of urgency and they make you wait for hours.

Long wait terrible place…

They did a fantastic job when one of my little children needed stitches. They were attentive, caring and careful. There was a minimal wait time. They took my insurance. Absolutely no complaints. I did call before going in. Also, it ended up saving me a lot of money by going to urgent care instead the emergency room.

On weekends this office refuses to take insurance, forcing you to pay for all costs up front. Before you choose to go here for urgent care, you should know that you will have to pay out up front rather than the appropriate copay that your insurance company has negotiated. This means that you will need to fill out considerable paperwork and wait over a month to be reimbursed.
This fact should be posted, as that is not how most are supposed to do business. When you need urgent care extortion is not appropriate, especially when you have paid insurance. I will not be using this facility again.

I only come here for random DOT drug tests. A few times I’ve come close to pissing my pants due to the extremely long waits.

What do you say about as doctor that knows about a obscure illness enough to save your life? Dr. Patel (and the rest of the staff) are caring and excellent. But, do not come for a handful of pills. Patel gives you what you need not what you may want. That includes free classes on what to eat!

I Think Pulliam is a really good doctor, he is up on the latest medical conditions. Overall, the office is crazy busy, It is not my favorite lay out or atmosphere. I think he is a caring and knowledgeable MD. I do have «syndrome 209» meaning I’m willing to drive to the 510 and 415 for a good MD, so I was happy when my husband found a good Valley, MD.
