PIH Family Practice Center

I started with this practice a little over a year ago and I couldn’t be any happier. I was with Kay Wood prior and loved her but she sold her practice and moved to Prescott, AZ. I wasn’t happy with the doctor that bought her practice, so it was time to find another. I researched a lot and came up with Dr. Ingrid Patsch with PIH. Our first meeting she explained that she headed up the Residents Program with PIH and I may not see her if I don’t have a scheduled appt. I was fine with that. I have had several issues and ended up in emergecy and admitted to PIH Hospital and the care was beyond great. But, the Dr. on call thought my issue was interesting and asked if she could bring the entire staff over. Well yes, I guess. They all had lots of great questions, insight and were concerned, Since released their follow up has been above and beyond. Also, I walked in one morning with very bad bronchitis and I saw a doc in 10 mins. Saw Ingrid Patsch recently and she is just caring, warm, and funny. She is a keeper. Plus, she is younger than I am, so hopefully she will be around for my medical needs for years to come.

So lets start off with my experience, the doctor I saw was a young indian/​hindu guy by the name of Somil Viradia. This guy just brushed me off didnt do much to help me out and just went based of what he thought. I had severe head pains from the front of my head shooting straight to the back of my neck. Horrible pain. His solution was to keep taking 200mg of ibuprofen for a week and see if I still had the pain. This is with me being dazed & nauseous as well. I Requested blood test and he refused. Went to a different doctors office today and ran lab work along with xRays, came across that I had inflammatory. Gee thanks a lot Somil Viradia! other than this guy being lazy everyone else in this office is sooo very nice and very help full, especially Curtis at the front desk. If you decide to ever come to this location make sure you avoid Dr. Somil Viradia, shouldn’t even call him a doctor. I give this place 3 stars because I know PIH is a great hospital and my past experience with the PIH near Whittwood, especially with the staff at this location have been great.
