Valley Medical Center

I’ve read reviews that were negative and my experience so far is good. They were calling me to a room before I was done with my new patient paperwork. Dr O found an abnormality in my arm which has caused pain for three months and other providers didn’t see. As far as cleanliness, the building is older but I didn’t see a problem.

I read the other reviews here and just didn’t have an experience like that here. Dr. Stoker and Dr. Owczarzak seem very competent and listened to my issues. Sometimes there is a wait, but it seemed that there was a lot of sick people on those days.

I’m a new patient. Good medical experience thus far… the doctors were willing to listen to my medical issues and, I believe, have provided the appropriate treatment. The inital consultation, comprehensive physical, eye exam, and other tests were of benefit. +5pts.
.with the exception of VERY LONG wait times! (…an hour+ past the scheduled appointment time.) (Time is money for patients as well.) –2pts.
Nice friendly nursing and office staff. +1pts.
Upholstered chairs and carpet in patient waiting room. Both cannot be adequately sanitized to prevent spread of germs and illness. –1pts.
Recommend…if you have hours to wait.
1÷16÷13 Update. After I questioned why there was such a delay in appointment times, the receptionist said the doctor who owns the practice (Dr. Stoker) has them (the reception staff) book 4 patients per appointment slot. That certainly explains the excessively long wait times! –2pts.
(Please note that this ongoing Unilocal Review that reflects services as of 1/​16/​13.)
6÷24÷13 Update: after a middiagnosis of pnemonia (and missing the death of my father because Dr. Johnson said I couldn’t travel) and the follow-​up doctor saying I never had pnemonia to begin with… do I hear malpractice?
AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! Especially Dr. Jane Johnson!!!
