Dr. Ventres is very kind and he listens to you, and I really appreciate that. Everybody is very nice. I know there's another doctor in the clinic who knew that I had been hospitalized, but did not share that with Dr. Ventres who is my primary care physician, and that was an unfortunate oversight on his part, but Dr. Ventres does a good job. Thank you.

the receptionist had not had one, much less two COVID shots. She was very polite, capable but I found it wrong that all staff directly relating to vulnerable patients had not been required to have their COVID-19 shots

She was very nice and communicated very well. It would be very nice if the physicians could go back further than ten years in my medical record.
