- EIethan Ibbs1 day ago1.0The worst OBGYN clinic my wife and I have ever dealt with. Their front desk is rude and disrespectful over the phones. The doctors dont stay on task and are completely clueless when it comes to scheduling. We have a very limited schedule we can come in for, and have been told repeatedly by the doctors to come in on Saturdays for labs, and yet when we do, the front reception desk tells us that they dont do labs on weekends. Instead, they tell us to go to fresno or Clovis. This is ridiculous. Family healthcare and adventist health are superior in every way. Use them instead.
- LELizeth Espinoza6 days ago1.0Go anywhere else! They are horrible at answering phones. This is my second pregnancy and it’s been a horrible experience due to being stuck at this clinic. My last obgyn was on top of it when I missed an appointment and this clinic doesn’t care to reschedule you and when you try calling them yourself you’re waiting on the phone for 45 minutes just for them to hang up on you. Horrible experience! Going in I thought it was going to be great since it’s a new establishment but nope. These workers are very unprofessional and dismissive. I’m doing anything I can to be transferred elsewhere. Thanks for nothing.
- STSelena TorresDec 13, 20253.0Dr. Banks and Dr. Sarria are like night and day when it was time for me to give birth Dr. Banks introduced herself to me to which I had to remind her that I’m her patient and have been seeing her for months now whereas Dr. Sarria remembered me instantly at the hospital even though I only had one appointment with him, he’s very informative and personal, highly recommended him. I had Dr. Resendiz at the beginning of my pregnancy and he misplaced my 20 week ultrasound results and didn’t inform me that I had gestational diabetes til my following appointment.
- GGgaby gonzalezDec 2, 20251.0This obgyn is horrible they make you appointments you’ll show up and they never made them it’s happened 3 times already. And also the lab lady’s take so long calling you back I literally waited 1 hr and some change and I never got called they went on their lunch this is ridiculous !!!
- CFClaudia Karina FloresNov 17, 20255.0They have clearly answered my questions and the health care provide it is very accurate and the patient has a lot of confidence in the doctors and nurses.
