Doctors in Visalia, CA

A program is not good or bad based on it's goals, it is good or bad based on how well it is administered and the results. Healthcare reform is obviously necessary - but saying the words free coverage for all does not mean everything will be covered, and that there will not be treatments and tests denied, as well as delays in receiving care. The affordable care act adds laws and regulations - but the government is in control instead of a a private insurance company. The government has not done such a great job with Medicare that it makes me want to sign up... This does not in any way improve or streamline care - and there is still a class system - more defined than what we currently have. There are all ready cuts for new Long Term Care facilities for our elderly. As far as pre-existing states and coverage for anyone, it depends on multiple factors including group coverage, which has many protections built in and gaps in coverage - which should be avoided if at all possible.

Kenny, I called Dr Holvik and the very nice woman said they don't take Medi Cal. Dr. Cruz sounds like the right choice. They take the Health Net Medi Cal my poor hubby has to have at least until the next politician changes it. My doctor, Mark Tetz, said just wait a few months and every thing will change.

Family Healthcare Network ....they take medical blue cross and healthnet ...a good group of doctors...never had a problem here in porterville

Gaylene Solonuik-Tays MD extraordinaire. I love her, my Mom loves her and my son loves. We all hate to go to the doctor too!

Dead People Do Not Pay Taxes... Give them Healthcare, then they will not Die and will continue to pay taxes... LOL...

Larry Parker, one thing for sure will happen.. People will have more healthcare issue if they do not have access to health care coverage... Because of the ACA, hopefully this will not be such an issue.. People's lives should not be treated as a commodity...

Larry Doss, I hope the Obama administration is quoting from this report since it is the world standard for social analysis. The Social Progress Index is an international project to create numbers for "social variables". They measure results, not methods. As you will probably question the politics of this report I point you to the major US sponsor: The Rockefeller Foundation. I hesitate stooping to personal attacks, but Larry you need to read more.

Bruce E. Quinn .. I am all for learning and being well informed.. message me some links

Has he tried going to the Family Health Care Network? Here is a website with some resources in addition to applying for Medical. http://freeclinicdirectory.org/california_care/tulare_ca_county.html

Larry Doss, are you saying that 30 Million people would have to go without heathcare if it was not for the ACT.... That make me happy that the ACT has passed..

Socialized medicine still has rules, and guidelines, and policies. paid for by the citizens of that country - so are not free. http://www.forbes.com/sites/sallypipes/2011/12/19/the-ugly-realities-of-socialized-medicine-are-not-going-away-3/

Larry, not "everybody" thinks the US has the best medical care. This new report puts the US health at 70 th place in the world, next to third world countries. http://www.socialprogressimperative.org/data/spi

Bruce E Quinn the link from the social progress imperative is a DIRECT quote from the Obama administration. You can not get any more prejudice than that. You need to get out more.

Don N Carmen Guthrie, if you call the clinic for an appointment, you can ask for a specific MD or PA. .I was tired of being bounced from PA to PA. I had heard good things about Dr Mariano, so I just called and asked for her..2 years ago, and she is excellent.

The phone shot off it told me a error was made, tried to take it off but would not allow. I was going to write I had Dr. Tates when I first moved back to visalia, he was very nice, he sent me another doctor for a Hysterectomy but in being late to my surgery & rushed I almost died from mistakes made, unfortunately I just about killed me I had HealthNet, but for what ever their reason They dropped it I was left hanging when all the Dr. At the Kawea Goup on court sll folded ip claimed bankruptcy i was left hanging like a fish out of water think they thought lawsuit they dropped HealthNet and me I was out without anyone very Disappointed in all my doctors I had to go to LA to Stanford different places just to receive help I couldn't get it here many years later I took a doctor that did nothing for me let things get out of control, I finally had another doctor told me if I didn't leave my Dr. he would cost me my life, so I now have Dr. Shyam Bhaskar I love him very busy all doctors are but he's an internist he's very thorough, nice hard to get caring Dr. After years went bye they started to carry Health Net Again??? Be wise in choosing. From one who had been there.

Dr.Manga was my Dr. Now she is at VMC,

Rick Hampton what is covered under an "Obamacare policy" and PPO network is this policy contracted with.... what are the benefits... what is the co-pay for "well check up" ..

I go to Family Health on Oak, but my MD is a lady, so your hubby might not like that. However, as Linda mentioned above, Dr. Cruz's patients really like him.

For general info. Cheryl Mariano MD is an awesome doctor! At the Oak Street clinic. I have never had a better doctor.

yes, that is true, Stan......FHCN is what is available here in 3 r's....A.J. Rice was my doc for 30 yrs.....and joined Family Health Care Network...brand new facility in Woodlake, wonderful staff....and yes, Oak Ave. in Visalia......good luck to all.

Rick Hampton why do you think that John Williams claims have been getting paid.

Elizabeth Matta at Akari Skin & Body Care:) She is wonderful!!

Oops... Phone # 967-4244

There is a massage therapist connected to Dr. Eviens chiropractic office, she's wonderful, and takes insurance.

Becky Cloud Rossner at Lifestyles.

Gail Sharp at the Lifestyles Center, she is awesome!

Sounds more like you need a chiropractor than a massage therapist. Dr. Matthew McCutcheon is awesome. (559) 635-2033. He takes insurance or cash. Cash prices-$80 first visit, $50 after that. He's helped me soo much in the last year of seeing him. I rarely have to take my pain meds or muscle relaxers thanks to him.

San Joaquin Valle Collage I know does my Daughter went to their Hanford campus and works for Adventist Health. Check out their web site www.sjvc.edu

Next closest is Los Angeles or Stanford

Just so you are aware there is currently a bill that all in home care animals will have to be registered. People are getting things online which are fake I suggest you get the dog as a service animal that's the only way it will be ok with a rental property https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB2760 I suggest you contact you local state assemblyman Devon Mathis his office can help with clarification and status of the bill 916-319-2026 What you are trying to do this bill is looking into protecting that, so before you do anything contact them for info and status, if it passes anything you do now might be effected

I work at Clovis community hospital in short stay surgery. Radin is the breast center and the doctors are AWESOME! I recommend Dr Gumina or Dr Gardikas.. And I do believe they take that insurance..

Thank Tami Anderson. I'll call them too

Stanford & UCLA said No. Dr Potts here in Visalia, said Yes to the mastectomy, but not the reconstruction.

Try looking threw www.cancercare.org. Alot of them i think you will have to call directly .Also, since you know you are at risk now too. Make sure you're insurance pays for reconstruction and with the areola. Most dont do any reconstruction anymore but some will rebuild the breast without the areola . It is considered cosmetic for either surgery . If it dose not cover get a suplamental type insurance like Aflack.

Dr William Holvik is the best!!(559) 732-4726

Dr. Catherine McNinch is a great pediatrician. I'm not sure of any general practitioners though. She is at Visalia medical clinic.

Dr Le.

Sierra Pacific Ortho group in Fresno has a whole lot of great surgeons. I'm not sure about who specializes in collarbones.

Agree with Carol. Alex had his knee surgery with Dr. Hansen at SPO; he is a really great guy. Unsure about collarbone specialists, but I know they will be able to hook your nephew up to the right person.

Just got off phone with PT girlfriend. Le Schengel fDuncan if clean break. Go to Fresno if complex. Get it done ASAP. Don't wait. Better recovery. Studies show surgery is best for a better recovery

Thanks every one - especially my terrific sis-in-law and aunt. <3 Ty's surgery is tomorrow with Dr. Taylor from Sierra Pacific Orthepedia.

Has he been to Valley Childrens....the ortho drs up there are amazing. Thats where I took Ava for her broken leg

hey Melissa I have had a few surgeries and have seen many drs. My Favorite was Dr. Guadagni, great bed side manner.. The other was Dr. Piatek. Both in Visalia.

Dr Schengel is the only one we trust!! My sis works w/ him too!:)

Dr. Nguyen at Visalia Medical Clinic. Love him !

Dr. Aminian is great!!!!

Normally, I would refer you to Dr Baz. However, Don went to and REALLY LIKED Dr Nguyen at VMC. He took extra time with Don and explained everything to him, answered all of his questions and called a week later to see if the drug protocol was working.

Dr. Nguyen is the best! (Pronounced "Win"). He is at VMC.

Yes, the Walnuts and mold in the ground. I had the scratch tests when I was around 30 and did the desensitizing injections for 2 years. I'll can Dr. Nguyen tomm.

Reading Mona I must say that me and the person that it worked great for have toric lens implants. Dr Boone at eye surgery center on mineral king did it. He told me since I was over 60 that is best way to go as LASIK can be hard on eyes when one is old...See More

Mike Boone has rave reviews from everyone I know.

Dr. Sunlap in Tulare, he did my daughter and son-law eyes but just for far not mono vision!

Dr Michael Boone did mine 11+ years ago, and I had the same deal as Joe... Worked beautifully.

Miss Sarah, you asked for the positive and negative. I, unfortunately, seem to be your only negative. Dr. Sunalp did my mono vision LASIK in 2007. It was wonderful for 2 years then my vision started getting blurry. I went to another Dr. ( because Dr. S...See More

Sorry. About your pain. Try Dr Thomas on Court He is really good. I've gone to him and also Kim. Take care. Sandi

I am waiting on shoulder surgery. I have a full rotator cuff tear. And Tiffany, I had requested the best ortho surgeon in town (Dr. EDMONDS) But due to it being a work injury I was turned down:(. I have to schedule with Dr. Bruce Lee within the next few wks. I should have told them I knew the woman in charge OF DR. EDMONDS ! LOL!

NELLA. GO WITH AN INVERSION TABLE. BEST BRAND IS TEETER HANGUPS. WE SWEAR BY THEM. NO MORE PAIN MEDS HERE. HOPEFULLY THIS TREATMENT WILL DELAY NEED FOR SURGERY OR STEROID INJECTIONS. Teeter Hangups are sold at Sport Chalet. They should have a trained technician who can assist you and answere questions. Check online for teaching videos.

I have an Inversion Table too! You can purchase them on Amazon. Also, Chiropractic care.

Dr McNinch at Visalia medical clinic, she is awesome (and my aunt Wrks for her)

Eliana Aceves take the kids to dr. Galindo at Visalia medical clinic, he's GREAT! And they take our insurance smile emoticon
