Uc Davis Medical Group

It is difficult to review an entire medical group because it depends on the doctor. The second doctor I have been to there is really outstanding. His name is Dr. Pham and he is very very kind and thoughtful with patients, He is also very knowledgeable about research on particular subjects. I would recommend this doctor to anyone who needs a doctor to listen and explain things and really care about the patient as an entire person. The first doctor I went to was not like that, so this is a review for Dr. Pham only. His office staff is also very personable and friendly. I consider myself very lucky to have Dr. Pham as a primary care doctor, Five stars for this thoughtful and ethical doctor.,

The customer service at this group is not good. When you call the main number, a patient can not be transferred to their doctor. A customer has to be on hold for sometimes almost close to 10 minutes, then you have to leave a message with the operator who just enters the message into the computer. Then, you have to wait for the office to call you back. It is so inconvenient.
I also had an issue with the woman at this location dong the blood draw. This was not recent, but it still bothers me to think about it. I wish I had gotten her name. When she was putting the needle in my arm, she was gossiping with a co worker who was standing in the doorway. They were gossiping and complaining about their job in front of me, the patient. The UCD worker was not even paying attention and my vein in my arm and it was hurting. The next day, my arm was black and blue from the horrible blood draw. Sad that there is no common sense that they should wait to complain about their job when they are in the break room and not around patients. Been thinking about switching to Sutter Health Medical group.

I love this Medical group. I see Dr. Blinder and she is fabulous! Her nurse, Nicole is so sweet. The front desk staff are always very friendly as well. I also have gone to the podiatrist, I saw Dr. Medawar, he is such a nice doctor. Very thorough takes his time with you. I have also had no issues with X-​rays or lab work. Awesome doctors here and close to home!

Fantastic Staff. Dr Arnott and SUPV nurse, got me in fast to sew up huge 3″ wound in my calf. With professionalism and great humor and 7 stitches later they dealt with my pain and made me comfortable to complete their procedure. Provided me with the equipment and tools needed to after care.
This is not my normal Dr and I was treated like a longtime patient. In and out within 1 hr… Amazing…THANK you to ALL the staff at UC Davis Carmichael.

Avoid this place. I question the doctors as far as if they are being thorough enough in what they are doing. It seems like they just want you in and out. Also do not trust them about medical records of you are waiting to hear back for results. They are incompetent. Say they will call you back, once they have the results but they never do. You call back to check in and turns out they never submitted the request for results in the first place. Super frustrating and incompetent. Its like you have to do their job for them. I hate dealing with their stupid administrative staff. And p. s. my doctor has never called me back once about any results. A receptionist always calls me back. I know the doctors are busy but I do expect to hear from my doctor herself every once in a while. I guess I’m just not important enough for them to take the time to talk to their patients.

I had read other reviews of people having issues with this facility. I however had none. I had an appointment this morning, I was a bit confused upon arriving as there are a bunch of different check in areas unlike the one in Rancho. I asked one of the people at the counter and she was very nice and told me she could help me. I was checked in within minutes and saw the ultrasound tech right on time. She was also very pleasant. Not sure what exactly other reviewers were seen for or why they had such a bad experience but if I need to go again, I don’t have a problem. Even tho I litterally live 5 minutes away, I like my doc in Rancho and will be staying with him.

My first review of a doctors office how exciting is this! So honestly I hate going to the doctor there is never any good news and you always have to wait super long to see anyone. Surprisingly this office is a little different while I did have to wait during one visit, due to the X-​ray technician taking forever, all of the others were quick and very efficient. Dr. Dalmia is amazing and if I ever break my foot again I know just where to go. Hopefully that never happens again so I will be extra careful this time!
Thanks for the excellent care in pushing me to a fast recovery!

My 91 year old mother, and I both go to the Carmichael U.C. Davis Medical Group. We each have different doctors, and have had nothing but excellent care. Dr. Beamesderfer, and Dr. Frazier are both excellent! Only one of the receptionists have been a little unfriendly, but the others have been more than polite, and helpful. We’ve been very happy with the services, and medical care we’ve received.

Rude staff! They act like pill Nazi’s if you don’t kiss their butt. Also, the good doctors have all left. They brought in a gang of HMO puppets that don’t care about patients. They are driven by the bottom line, not what’s best for the patient.

I would rate this clinic zero stars if it wasn’t for my super awesome doctor who was transferred here. The office staff is very rude on the phone and when I go in they are also only mediocre. I had to call and complain once about a staff person who was so terribly rude to me when I was in extreme pain. I’m afraid I need to do it again for the lack of response from this office as well as the insane hold times on the phone. There was one time that I had an appointment for xrays and I had been forgotten about for so long that the technician went on a lunch break. A 5 minute scan took 3 hours to get in. When I call there are staff people laughing to loudly in the background that the person on the phone can’t hear me. I love that they love their jobs, but when I can’t convey what I need because the phone operator can’t hear me, thats a big problem. I wish my doctor could come back to downtown where the staff are quick and professional.

I’m not a big fan of this office. My regular doctor changed offices, so I had to come here. The front office staff were pleasant on the phone, but in person they were a little rude. It was almost as if they didn’t have the time to deal with the patients. They were also gossiping, which I felt was inappropriate. The rest of the visit went smoothly. If the front office receptionists could be as good as the nurses, medical assistants, and doctors, this would be a great place.
