terrible place. I am on a workers compensation injury and they did not ask the company if there was foul play going on in attempting to make me go past my physical restrictions. I didnt write down who was saying this on here " I dont know where all these negative reviews are coming from..." Are you F%$#@ing serious?? You are a retard. These doctors all are full of crap! Just because a sign is on the wall indicating that all the doctors are licensed through California is just the cover they use to protect these under-educated & under-experienced doctors. STAY AWAY FROM DR. FINK!! Extremely bossy, and tries to tell you how to feel and will give a diagnosis based on how she feels your recovery is coming not how the patient feels. I had missed an appointment the week before last and came in as a walk-in patient.... waited for 2 hours and I asked the office manager Mary for my slip to give to the managers, and I said that I had waited 2 hours and could not wait any longer.... Then she wrote on my slip, "Did not see", and with no explanation besides that... I had to explain to the claim adjuster and to my manager why I didnt have an appointment today.. (CCMSI) and than I had to indicate and write on the damn doctor note myself why I wasnt "Seen". This "facility" at the Blossom Hill location is a joke.... I would never go there if I had the choice. I went to my own doctor after not getting any real positive results through this plan for recovery treatment, and went to my own doctor (not assigned through my work) and the doctor and here is what was said... I also went there because the doctor here at samaratin did not notify me that my hand was not a separate injury, or that the tendon was connected... retard doctors! my doctor sat down with me for over 45 minutes and discredited the doctor at samaratin... and told me large volumes of information that these retards at samaratin medical would have never told me... I have been placed in numerous risky situations at my work environment because there is no communication between the doctors at samaratin medical and the company where the work-injury occurred... My safety was at risk and I told the doctor what the company was doing and that my recovery would probably be delayed until they stopped making me re-injure myself... After 15 somewhat follow-up visits and going back and forth between my employer and the doctor did the doctor finally confront the employers claim adjuster (CCMSI)... Absolutely ridiculous how inconsiderate this whole situation has been....

Absolute waste of time. After waiting around 30 min I was escorted back to an exam room and everything was good. The problems started when they needed to verify my blood pressure since the first nurse wasnt certified. I told the next nurse that I felt faint after the first time to give it a minute. This happens all the time to me so I know what Im talking about. He decided he knew better and the next thing I know I was blacked out. Then they let me sit in the exam room for around 2 hours waiting for the doctor to have time to squeeze me in. I guess when they said it could be a while I didnt realize that they what they really meant was that they only had one doctor on staff and that I could sit there until they ran out of patients with appointments. I never expected prompt service being a new walk in patient, but I did expect the respect of giving me all the facts. Perhaps offering the guy that just passed out a water, or maybe mentioning where one might find a bathroom if you needed it over the course of the afternoon that they expected you to sit there. Overall I would say dont waste your time unless you happen to have a workmans comp claim that they can milk. Those seemed to take priority over everything else at this place.

To start with the medical group is uncaring and rude. I waited 3 hours to be seen and I was in severe pain at the time. Once I saw the Doctor he was uncaring, rude, and made me feel like cattle! He did not examine me just asked one question, and than wrote some pain killers and sent me on my way…however the prescription was wrong and it was a nightmare to get it sorted out. The answering service is good though! They contacted the Doctor for me after hours and when I got Dr. Wiley on the phone, he wanted nothing to do with helping me sort out his own mess, and told me to call the office in the AM. I did this and called right at 9:00 AM and was put on hold three different times for over 45 minutes each time! The person who answers the phone is very rude, and does not want to help you in any other way but to pass you along to another person in the office who is just as uncaring. The office is old and falling apart! The walls have huge cracks in them and you can hear every word in the next room where the Doctor is seeing his patients! So much for HIPPA! Valley Medical is better than this group…believe or not!

I do not know where all these negative reviews come from, but this place is better than my regular doctor. I have had my normal doctor for over a year now and have not seen her once because a) they never pick up the phone. b) when they call back they tell me they have no openings for over a week. I dont usually go to a doctor unless im really sick, so if im calling to make an appointment I wanna be able to see a doctor the same day. I have never experienced a rude receptionist. The doctors Ive seen here are always friendly and willing to help. Even though this place is first come first serve, I have never waited more than 2 hours (average is usually 1 hour), which is fast to me considering ive waited over 1 hour at other doctors when I have an appointment. All in all, good place to go when your doctor doesnt have an immediate opening and you are in pain

A very fine clinic. They took very good care of me and I was more than pleased with my attending physician. The folks seemed truly happy in their work, no easy task juggling sick or injured all day and still be content up to the last patient. I feel that the negative comments presented here are unfair and not very valid. Obviously these folks who feel it necessary to say bad things about the clinic must have had a pariticular idea about how these places run that is not within the realm of reality. If you havent the time to visit your own physician dont expect someone else to drop everything to tend to you. That is not how these places have ever worked. It is very bad form to make durogatory comments against those who would help you. Good job Dr. Martin and the staff there, Thanks.

I have been two times to this location, first time I didnt have an appintment, I waited for 3 Hours, the second time, I was smart, I took an appointment, and it took me 1 hour to see the doctor. This place have no sense of time or respect to peoples time, neither they respect schedules. On top of this, when you come in, you are meat with the nurses which they make the appointments, and they dont have any customer service whoever, they dont smile, neither reply when you ask them, and when you ask them, they all say we dont know. I hope no one ever needs to go to that horrible place
