This is a review of their Behavioral Health Department only- if zero stars was an option, Id give them that. If you need actual care, instead of a referral service, then dont go here. From the therapist who do their intake, telling me that I needed weekly therapy but she couldnt provide that for me so I needed to find my own therapist outside of their office, and then handing me a list of about 15 potential therapist. Having me trauma dump for an hour only to tell me they couldnt help me, seems like it would be more traumatizing to put patients through, no? Secondly, their psychiatrist, who is never there and always on vacation, so if you need medication management, dont go here. And lastly, Micheal their office manager, also a licensed therapist (with a masters in social work and a BA in psychology) who thinks its appropriate to yell at a potential patient because he didnt like my assessment of their office. He and another therapist there, violated my privacy by accessing my records without a valid reason. He then felt it appropriate to call me and demand that I tell him how he, a therapist and not a psychiatrist, could help me with my medication management. When he was told he couldnt, and that his office was a joke for people who had long term and complex mental health issues, decides to berate me over not wanting his help and not liking his office policies, so loudly that the other therapist left their offices to see who he was yelling at. I tried filing a complaint against him through the manager of the entire practice, with no resolution or follow through. We were told by one of the other therapist there that he does this routinely and believes that "yelling at patients with bipolar disorder will make them calm down". If that isnt the best indicator to seek help somewhere else, I dont know what is.

Mary Allen is very rude, was completely unhelpful and shamed me for my lack of understanding of my insurance policy. She has no compassion in a position that compassion should be mandatory. I understand why this hospital has a very low review score.

On august 12/2023 I went to emergency room for treatment of frequent headaches and throat problems. After waiting 4 hours, saw doctor. 3 blood tests and blood pressure. They had no answer for this only to recommend another doctor. When I arrived tried to give incompetent receptionist my medicare card . A few does later got a bill for self pay for $2900. I told them my medicare number and still am receiving bills. Callled medicare, who told me it should have been paid. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone for the incompetence shown by the staff .

These people are soo mean and disrespectful. I have an infection , they denied me any antibiotics!!! They should be sued!! Before I said what was wrong with me the 1st question was what insurance I have I said cencal, then he asked ? When is it affective I said November 1st , then he said sorry but nothing will help me. And said no antibiotics. They totally denied me I'm a new patient! . I guess money is more important than anyone health!!! The worst!!

I cannot recommend Dr. Christopher Taglia, at Lompoc Health (on H Street), highly enough. After suffering a previously failed major surgery performed by a physician at a different clinic 2 years earlier, I went to Dr. Taglia for a consultation. He couldn't have been more thorough & patient with me. I had many concerns over my limited options, particularly the likelihood of enduring another painful corrective surgery with an even higher risk of failure. Dr. Taglia explained everything in detail, answered every question I asked, & ordered all possible tests in advance, including dietician consults, to help ease my mind & to ensure the highest probability of success. My surgery was indeed a success! Thankfully, my recovery period has been no comparison whatsoever to my previous surgical experience. I am very grateful to Dr. Taglia and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending anyone to him for treatment of gastrointestinal issues.

Dr Peng and Lesley Mori are great doctors.

My first impression: $$ is the number one priority here. Called for an appointment as a new patient.

First question: What insurance do you have? (How is that relevant to whether or not an appointment is available?) Never even asked what the issue was.

Answer: CenCal.

Reponse: No appointments until February 2022.

I hate to post a negative review however this really enlightened me on health care as it is (or is not) today. And I suspect this is the way it is everywhere now.

The X-ray tech I'm sorry I forget her name , but not her face, I couldn't tell you it anyway without her consent. But she was so sweet, really nice. It was great. Both women the receptionist made me feel at ease very pleasant and then the technician, was so comfortable to be with I forgot myself completely.
