Community Health Centers of the Central Coast

I had to dock CHC 2 stars due to Travis Adelman, who is evidently only a Physicians Assistant — I would NOT recommend Adelman. The guy just wants to hear himself talk & doesn’t care about what you have to say about your problem. He is there to take your money, and not do any real work — or push off your issue for another day, so you have to call back when a problem has escalated.
However, Dr. Wichmann is awesome. He’s an older, sensible gentleman that practices out of the Atascadero office. He’s been helpful & listens well. I would give this place 5 stars just because of him & the front staff in Atascadero.

If you are looking for a great, educated, well rounded primary care doctor, I suggest Dr. Ganpule at CHC Templeton. He is the best doctor I have ever come across. He extremely knowledgeable and his staff is friendly and efficient

We checked in 10 minutes before the appointment. After waiting over 40 minutes for my daughter to get into a room, we ended up waiting another 30 minutes to get a routine shot that she gets every 3 months. An hour and ten minutes for a 10 minute visit? That’s unprofessional and absolutely ridiculous! Not only that, the room we were in was HOT and humid. For some reason, our time and comfort is not considered valuable to CHC. It’s no wonder that no one wants to come there.

Just to add to the care my mother, Patricia (review below), received from Dr Travis…
I was appauled when she explained to me, after her appointment, that the doctor had scoffed at her (now proven correct) self diagnosis, and went so far as to claim that she was, «crazy» for thinking that she could have an infection from a tick bite.
In a profesional and highly esteemed industry, such as Mr. Travis’, I would have anticipated verbiage to be held to a higher standard; Void of sarcasm and juvenile retorts, regardless of the doctors young age.
The science of medicine is always evolving, and it’s rather important that the person you entrust your life with, handles open communication, and a patients intution, with a great deal of consideration and resonance.
Very disappointing representation of the clinic, and most importantly, of himself.

A while back I wrote a rather mean, but true review of the previous CHC-​Paso Robles, CA. office. Since then they really have improved themselves, after they moved into a new building. Some of the same staff is still there, but it appears that they «cleaned house», and have discarded the staff members which made visiting the office an utterly miserable experience.

We have been there twice, and both times the front office staff has mentioned that they have met their quota for the day, and wanted to send us away… cash paying patients/​customers. I think that is AWFUL!!!
