Was seen there last Friday 5/10/24 as a new patient. Front desk was nice. Medical assistant was nice. NP Alex was helpful and answered all my questions. Waiting time was a bit long but overall my experience was GOOD.
My wife has limited English and prefers to speak in Mandarin or Cantonese. There is a limited set of doctors that can speak either language in Sacramento/Elk Grove that is accepting new patients. I went through a whole list of doctors that was fluent in either Mandarin or Cantonese and chose this location due to the following reasons: - Dawei Zheng has a team of nurse practitioners. It isn't a one person operation, we no need to worry about access to care. Wife was able to get an appointment the same week. - No call center. Receptionists picks up the phone immediately. Very friendly contrary to some of the negative reviews seen here. Speak fluent English. Adequately staffed receptionists and medical assistants are important as you never know you'll need a referral. You wouldn't want your prior authorization papers to not be faxed promptly. - Many doctors that speak Mandarin or Cantonese in my medical group is near retirement age. It would be a hassle to change PCPs down the road. My wife enjoyed her clinical visit as the nurse practitoner Yuanying spent actual time listing to my wife's concern. The follow-up visit included the provider explaining lab results in-depth. A lot of clinics are focused on churning patients due to low health insurance reimbursement, but this clinic doesn't do this. My wife's visit felt comprehensive and holistic. Yuanying really spent the time to ask my wife as a person how she was. This isn't just a Chinese clinic as the staff speaks fluent English.
All of the staffs here are very helpful and friendly. Especially NP Alex. She took her time and really listens to my problems and my needs. Unlike other physicians I’ve seen in the past. They just want to get you in and out. Not Alex.
