About Karuk Tribe Health Program:
Karuk Tribe Health Program provides healthcare services to Native Americans, including dental and medical care. Some patients have experienced difficulty scheduling dental appointments, with reports of being told no appointments are available unless for emergencies, leading to frustration and sometimes loss of teeth due to delayed care. Others have noted long wait times, such as several months, which can result in worsening dental issues. Despite the challenges, some patients appreciate the knowledge and friendliness of the medical staff, feeling listened to and supported. Overall, while the program offers essential healthcare services funded by government grants, there are concerns about accessibility and responsiveness, especially for urgent dental needs. The program aims to serve elders and community members, but some feel that the funds should be better used to meet the immediate healthcare needs of Native Americans.
For my concerning issue of joint and nerve pain, it was great to be able to have the wonderful Osteopathic care that Dr. Joshua Goodrum provides. His outstanding comprehensive knowledge and experience of holistic care and his sensitivity to individual experience inspire a trust that allows true healing to unfold.
Within the first 24 hours of becoming a patient here, I had more bloodwork and diagnostic testing done than I received in the three years I spent struggling with my previous provider. For the first time in a long time, I truly felt heard, seen, and taken seriously. The providers and staff here are phenomenal — compassionate, thorough, and genuinely invested in their patients’ well-being. I’m incredibly grateful for the care, attention, and support I’ve received so far.
My wife and I love One Peak and all their staff. It is not an exaggeration to say they have changed our life for the better. Over the past few years we have been able to turn around a number of health concerns and we have so much more energy!
